PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, July 11, 1980

far more subtle than that of 1974. They undertook to produce a "scholarly
work" setting forth their own distortion and perversion of the doctrines
GOD had put in His Church through His chosen Apostle. It was done se
cretly. Christ's Apostle was overseas most of the time, and it was care
fully kept from him. It was handed out to all the ministers as the
"official doctrines of the Church." There were at least six or seven in
TOP offices next to Christ's Apostle in authority--men trusted and honored.
But they were going to make it "THE CHURCH OF PEOPLE," instead of the
CHURCH OF GOD. They could not see God nor Christ in their mental picture
of God's Church. They were LIBERALS! They liberalized Ambassador College.
They liberalized The PLAIN TRUTH magazine. They changed and liberalized
Church doctrines and teachings and beliefs.
But God brought His chosen Apostle back from the jaws of DEATH--from
complete heart failure. God, through His Apostle, PUT THOSE MEN OUT OF
HIS CHURCH. Now churches or works OF THEIR OWN have been started. But
they overlook one thing: "EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE THEY LABOR IN
VAIN THAT BUILD IT." God is NOT raising up and building a "house" based
on resentment, bitterness and strife--on attempt to DESTROY what GOD has
built and build something for SELF--on attempt to DESTROY the Worldwide
Church of God by their false witness and false accusation of wrong-doing
in God's Church, bringing about the massive lawsuit by America's largest
state to try to take over and DESTROY the Church of the living GOD!--and
to build for THEMSELVES by "siphoning off" to their own work the members
of the Worldwide Church of GOD!
No, this, like several other little tiny offshoots of embittered,
angered, revenge-seeking disfellowshipped former member�, MUST COME TO
NAUGHT! GOD is not building their houses!
So what, now, do we have? Look at them--all now coming DOWN--all
coming to naught! They are THE WORKS OF EMBITTERED SELF-SEEKING MEN--ALL
FALLING FLAT ON THEIR FACES!
The only good they accomplished was to attract out of GOD'S Church
the few malcontents, disgruntled troublemakers. God's ministers report
to me that now that those contentious, accusing, bickering troublemakers
have left their local churches, THEY HAVE PEACE!
Of course a few well-meaning members were honestly deceived by these
departed leaders. They have since had their eyes opened--they have
realized their mistake, and have returned HOME into GOD'S Church.
Our GOD turns Satan's handiwork into blessings for HIS people.
The living Jesus Christ raised up from death His Apostle, whom He
has used to SET HIS CHURCH BACK ON THE TRACK OF GOD!
Peace has been restored. God's TRUTH has been restored--the
liberalism swept out! There is peace, harmony and TEAMWORK solidly be
hind Christ and His chosen Apostle at Pasadena. There is now ONE GOAL
in the Church--to COMPLETE the Work of God around the world, and to pre
pare GOD's people for Christ's soon coming! The Spirit of GOD vitalizes
the Church, draws us closer to HIM and closer to ONE ANOTHE�
