What Our Readers
Say
La test Leap lnto Space
Your latest article, in the J anuary,
1981 edition of
The Plain Truth,
is
the
~rowning
touch. This article,
"Voyager
1
lo Salurn-Latest Leap
lnto Space," is the very best, truly
scientific article that we've ever
re~d.
1t
pul into proper context all the plc–
tures and stories we' ve seen and read
and listened to both in the printed
and the electronic media. You've
made God seem more real, more
dynamic, more Godlike. And yet we
know that you've only been able to
"scratch" the surface of the greatness
of God.

Corresponde nce Course
1
should like to express my appre–
ciation for the first lesson of your
Correspondence Course.
1
must con–
fess that my understanding of lhe
Bible with ordinary reading is pretty
meager, but your course has put new
light into it.
1
have typed all the verses referred
to in the lessons, which are a greal
help when rereading the Bible. 1
thank you and look forward to fur–
ther lessons and better understand–
ing.

1
am presently taking three univer–
sity courses, working part-time, and
caring for a five-year-old:
I
have an
insatiable thirst for readmg. Conse–
quently, although
1
have never
la~en
an interest in the Bible because hke
most people
1
find il confusing,
1
~m
willing to spend sorne time learmng
from your Correspondence Course.
1t
is hard for me to believe that you can
afford to distribute these publications
free of charge.
1
don't know of any
church which doesn't subtly request
March 1981
sorne contribution sooner or later.
Thank you for leaving this option
entirely up to the reader.

1
have heard your program on sev–
era! occasions since 1966 at differenl
places.
1
have also been exposed to
The Plain Truth
in the past. In facl,
I used to receive il in the late 1960s
when
1
was a student at Guelph.
Recently by chance 1 found myself
listening to your program on CKO.
As always it was very informative.

Deprogramming
1
appreciate very much your speak–
ing out against "deprogramming."
My own daughter, witbout her con–
sent or her parents' was kidnapped
two times because she was a very
effective missionary.
1t
has long been a personal struggle
for me to resist violence against those
who inflicted gross immoral trespass
on her young body all in the name of
religious deprogramming. It is hard
lo believe lhese atrocities are being
practiced with impunity in our
America.

"Return of the Inquisition" gave
me an insight into deprogramming
that 1 had never thought about
before. T he parallels between conser–
vatorship and the recent receivership
on the Church were absolutely amaz–
ing.
1
read it once, then immediately
read it again to my husband. Half in
shock, half in a spirit of
having been
wa r ned
of what yet
DOES LIE
AHEAO.

lslamic Eyes
1
would like to express my deepest
appreciation to the editor, the author
and staff of
The Plain Truth
maga–
zine for the article entitled "Seeing
the World Through Jslamic Eyes."
For the record,
1
would like to
state
1
myself am a Moslem and have
also been a
Plain Truth
subscriber
for many years. And
1
have always
held the writers and publishers in
very high regard when comparing to
many other Christian publications
which
1
often read.
Keith Brown-1
Jefferson City, Missouri
"Seeing the World Through
lslamic Eyes" caught my attention,
since
1
am presently doing research
on lhe subject of Islam.
The treatment and attitude of
Jslam towards Christians and Jews
that live amongst them is a daily
reminder of their inferior status as
members of "despised religions." The
tolerated infidels or
dhimmas
face
numerous restrictions. The dhimma
maJe is not allowed to marry a Mos–
lem woman, although a Moslem may
marry a Christian or Jewish woman.

New Readers
Bless you for bringing such a ter–
rifle, sane and very readable maga–
zine into my life, like
The Plain
Truth.
Truth does indeed blow very cold
once it blows through the warm cosi–
ness that covers up the líes and dan–
gerous deceptions practiced by the
glib politicians of world governments
today. As soon as
1
read my eagerly
awaited copy of
The Plain Truth
l
count the days to the next month ' s
arrival.
