the ex-judge receiver, who thinks he is now IN CHARGE of God's Church,
has threatened that if I direct your offerings and God's tithes to
me here, he will try to put me under a "Contempt of Court" charge,
in which case I will be unmercifully manhandled and thrown in jail or
prison. If so I will count it a PRIVILEGE to suffer for the sake
of CHRIST and God's Work!
We have been put in the position of fighting the battle of
FREEDOM OF RELIGION FROM THE STATE, not only for ourselves --
but for ALL CHURCHES AND RELIGIONS. One minister who preaches
over the air, Dr. Gene Scott of Faith Center, showed on TV himself
mailing to me from his personal pocket, $100, for our defense fund.
I have heard of even Roman Catholic priests or higher-ranked clergy
and Seventh-Day Adventists, rallying behind me in this crisis. For
if we should lose this court battle, NO CHURCH -- NO RELIGION WOULD
BE SAFE FROM POLITICAL POWERS!
For the present, REMEMBER, any money sent to me or the Church
at Pasadena will go directly into the hands of the court-appointed
receiver! Until further notice, send all of GOD'S tithes (which
are HOLY TO HIM), and special offerings, addressed personally to
ME, at Box 431, Tucson, Arizona, 85701.
This vicious evil attack has WELDED OUR BRETHREN TOGETHER AS
NEVER BEFORE. ALSO IT IS FLUSHING OUT SOME FEW WHOSE HEARTS WERE
NOT FULLY WITH GOD'S CHURCH!
I call now a SPECIAL DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYER -- not only for
the Work and the Church but also for OUR OWN SELVES THAT WE MAY BE
BROUGHT CLOSER TO GOD -- ON SABBATH, January 27th, worldwide! WE
UNDER CHRIST SHALL PREVAIL!
I thank you with all my heart, and I love you all as never before.
In deep love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
