of the complete operation and property, assets, and management
of the Church of the Living God, in utter contempt and defiance
of the first Amendment to the Constitution of the United States!
To my knowledge this was UNPRECEDENTED in the United States!
The Receiver had locks on doors of principle campus buildings
changed, and except during business hours, locked all employees
and Church officials OUT! The State had taken captive, and possession
of GOD'S HEADQUARTERS!
On a Monday morning, January 22, some three thousand Church
members, enmasse, filed into the three main buildings, began a
prayer and hymn-singing service, barracaded the doors, keeping
Ex-Judge Weisman and his staff out. This was repeated Tuesday
morning, and by Wednesday morning the number escalated to approximately
5,500, with members coming from as far south as San Diego and
as far north as Bakersfield. Women and children and even babies
with them.
There's an old saying that "possession is nine-tenths of
the law." God's people had retaken possession!
Our brethren were quiet, orderly, and neatly dressed. On
Wednesday a battery of Deputy Sheriffs were assembled a short
distance from the campus, ready to break down the doors and use
force against our people, who were willing to submit to arrest.
This enmasse action of 5,500 brethren was an answer to the
"Class-action suit" brought by six embittered, hostile, ex-members
seeking to DESTROY God's Church and Work. Yet our people politely
carried a hot lunch over to the assembled Deputy-Sheriffs.
This made news headlines around the world. To break in and
take women, children and babies to jail would have made bigger
headlines. The Receiver apparently realized this. He raised,
in effect, a white flag of truce, asking our attorneys if they
could not make some compromise. Our attorneys said "NO COMPROMISE!
You have acted in defiance of the Constitution of the United States.
Receiver Weisman then agreed to stay off the campus property,
and occupy, for checking our records a small office in the press
building across the freeway.
At this point we have the "nine-tenths of the law" of actual
possession, and the state still has the one-tenth, but so far
they have not given God's Church the other one-tenth, and things
remain at this writing in a status quo.
My son, broadcasting over a Los Angeles area radio station,
is trying to throw up a smoke-screen and confuse our people.
He with local dissidents and ministers, are quoting with great
emphasis on Romans 13 in the Bible--but they are twisting and
wrestling its meaning all out of proportion. This Scripture says,
"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there
is no power but of God."
Stop and analyze that before proceeding. "There is NO power
but of God." Where does Satan get his power? God gave it to
