PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, September 15, 1980
Page 11
Although I've certainly had my share of trials and tribulations,
I've also received many blessings since being in God's Church.
Since about the beginning of my last third tithe year, I've
received all of the following free: five pairs of shoes my size,
two color TV sets, three cars, and more furniture than I could
keep. I also received many spiritual blessings, a better job
with a substantial raise, and improved health. God has truly
opened up the windows of heaven for me even as I prayed, but
these are all an expression of God's great love and mercy. We
all ought to use these many blessings God gives us as an en­
couragement to strive that much more to be the kind of people He
wants us to be.
--J. David Douthett (San Diego, CA)
Being in our third tithe year, we have really been blessed. God
has blessed us with a refrigerator, stove, washer and lawn mower-­
all for free! Also we have been able to buy a lovely two bedroom
house in a perfect location. Praise be to God for His generous
blessings.
--Mr. & Mrs. Frank Doherty (Wichita, KS)
How happy it makes me to give to this end-time Work. I just don't
want my third tithe year to end--my blessings are so great!
--Mrs. Leslie Finger (Milwaukee, WI)
Mr. Rader's Book Hard to Put Down
It has been such a pleasure reading Mr. Rader's book, AGAINST THE
GATES OF HELL. I am about a third of the way through. It really is
a super book. Having all the day-by-day facts available about the
court crisis has been so enlightening. Though I knew much of what
happened, to hear it step by step has been great.
The personal infor�ation about Mr. Rader and Mr. Armstrong in earlier
years was very interesting. I enjoy knowing more about their back­
grounds. Seeing the pictures of Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Rader visiting
various dignitaries is so rewarding. I couldn't help but smile with
joy knowing that I and many others in God's Church have had a small
part in making those visits possible--helping bring God's Word to
others. It is a blessing and privilege.
--Mrs. Delores Schiller (Newbury Park, CA)
Mr. Rader's book,AGAINST THE GATES OF HELL, was truly a wonderful
gift! I have two chapters left to finish. It truly explains in
detail what happened a year and a half ago! Thank you, Mr. Rader!
--Mr. & Mrs. G. Sherman (Cardiff, CA)
My husband and I are reading with keen interest Mr. Rader
1
s book,
AGAINST THE GATES OF HELL. It is the type of book we would like to
read in one sitting. I'm sure it will give all of the members world­
wide a better understanding of Satan's attempt to destroy God's
Church and why we must continue to fight that ongoing battle.
--Mr. & Mrs. Clay Thornton (Pasadena, CA)
