PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, August 29, 1980
Page 9
The Victory Will Be Ours!
Mr. Rader expressed the same cur·fidence which has buoyed up employees
and students in employee for�ms over the 20 months since the attorney
general's attack began
January 1979. He said, "In the final analysis
we cannot lose. I mean the issues are too clear. I never doubted for a
moment that we would win." He went on to explain that instead of the
Church being hurt badly, it is stronger than before with the spiritual
vital signs all up!
"So the final victory will be ours," Mr. Rader assured the audience, "am
I really think that for a very long period of time the war really has be1
over. And the attorney general is much like that proverbial chicken who:
head has been cut off, but he doesn't know it, and the body is still
moving."
FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
A Reminder From Mr. Armstrong
Some questions have been asked as to whether or not wives of full-time
ministers should be earning incomes of their own. Reprinted here is Mr.
Armstong's article from the Pastor General's Report dated January 25,
1980. Please read it carefully, as it is definitely not
11
unclear," as
some have seemed to feel it was.
MOONLIGHTING AND WORKING WIVES
I have been quite disturbed at reports of a limited number of our sala
ried ministers
11
moonlighting
11
--taking part-time, extra-paying jobs on
the side, secretly. Also of some of the minsters' wives earning extra
incomes--mostly by joining in a national cosmetics-pseudo-religious
enterprise of selling cosmetics to women members of the Church.
Fellows and wives, I think this has been mostly stopped--! hope altogethe
--and I think most who were doing those things are no longer in God's
ministry. Perhaps they are all now gone from us. I hope so. But I feel
it should be put on notice, that sort of thing is not allowable in God's
Church.
I hope no further notice on this score will be necessary. Ministers'
salaries are supposed to cover the complete help a wife should give her
husband in his work! To do this sort of thing secretly on the side,
thinking those Jesus Christ is using in authority will not find it out,
totally unfits a man to be a faithful minister of Jesus Christ in Christ'
one and true Church!
