PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, March 6, 1981
I thank you belatedly for the "incredible" book you wrote for us all-
THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN POTENTIAL. I've been in the Church for almost
20 years and I learned more in reading your book, than from any other
source. In this book you brought it all together. Thank you.
Mrs. Hazel Farrish (Pullman, WA)
I want to thank you for the unique book THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN POTENTIAL.
It is the best book Mr. Armstrong ever wrote. I can hardly find the
words to express my joy. Mr. Armstrong is truly a God-blessed human
being. His vitality at his age of 89 years is simply admirable.
Walter G. (Berlin, West Germany)
I have lately reread your book, THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN POTENTIAL, and
was amazed at how much more I got out of it compared to when I read
it the first time. I am sure the book hasn't changed any, but for
tunately I have. It is a book that really can't be understood without
enlightenment from God's Spirit. Thank you for it!
Mrs. Donna Brunner (Williams, MN)
Please accept my thanks for that wonderful book, THE INCREDIBLE
HUMAN POTENTIAL, which I received some time back. Having perused
it, I learned a lot from it--things which I've never heard of read.
It really is a very thought-provoking book and I shall lend it to
my friends who are interested in knowing the future of every human
after death. Believe me, I was so taken up by its contents that
the more I read, the more I wanted to know.

ON THE WORLD SCENE
THE RECIPE FOR TEARING DOWN A SOCIETY The February 6, 1981 issue of
National Review contains a brilliant essay on America's permissive
morality entitled "Is Life a Spectator Sport?" It could almost be
subtitled: "The good man is perished out of the earth" (Micah 7:2).
Author James Hitchcock shows the tremendous pressure in modern society
abetted by the media, to tear down everything decent in moral standards.
Basic philosophy: question everything traditional; popularize rebel
causes; label moral traditionalists as "prejudiced." Here are excerpts
from this essay:
"While the welfare state appears to have been stalled, there has occurred
over the last decade an unprecedented extension of the socially and
legally permissible limits of personal behavior....
"New moral attitudes, often diametrically opposed to those commonly held
twenty years ago, now permeate almost all forms of public discourse...
Meanwhile, those traditional seats of authority which might be expected
to provide resistance to these trends, especially the family and organized
religion, either have made their peace with this 'new morality' or have
lapsed into demoralized impotence....
