Dear PLAIN TRUTH Subscribers, Co-Workers,
Brethren in Christ:
This letter is an UPDATE on world news in the light of biblical
prophecy. The entire world picture has changed drastically since I last
wrote all of you January 3rd.
These events are going to affect YOUR LIFE, all of our lives!
So let me bring you up to date. The most recent happening in rela-
tion to God's Work is the rehash the CBS program "60 Minutes" gave us
last Sunday night. It was largely a rehash of the program they broadcast
against us a year ago. But I was indignant at this "yellow journalism,"
and early Monday morning I wrote a full-page ad to run next Monday,
June 16, in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles
Times--three most prestigious newspapers with a combined circulation
of well over two million. Also this letter is going to more than two
million readers of The PLAIN TRUTH.
A copy of the page ad is enclosed. You will notice that many of
the largest churches in America have now come to our aid in this lawsuit.
I forgot to correct Mike Wallace, in my ad, on what he said about a
recent Supreme Court decision. They made NO decision against us--only
a decision not to hear the case until it first goes through more
California state courts.
Meanwhile this massive lawsuit of the California state attorney
general's office against us is still dormant--"on the back burner"--and
our Work is proceeding FULL STEAM AHEAD, AND GROWING!
At this very moment, as I write, we are waiting for a decision from
a committee in the California Assembly on a bill to repeal the bill
previously passed, on which the attorney general based his case against
us. The State Senate already has voted to repeal. If the committee
votes repeal, the repeal bill then will go to the Legislature for final
vote. If it passes, it will be a mandate to the attorney general to
drop his unconstitutional case against us.
We feel sure that otherwise it will finally go to the U.S. Supreme
Court and there be declared unconstitutional.
THE LIVING ALMIGHTY GOD IS PROTECTING AND BLESSING HIS GREAT WORLD-
WIDE WORK!
NO CHURCH HAS BEEN SO PERSECUTED! But Jesus said if they persecuted
Him, they would us.
But now to bring you up to date on world news fulfilling the bibli-
cal prophecies.
The Russians have by now poured more than a million troops into
Afghanistan. They have met unexpected opposition from mountaineers,
