PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JUNE 21, 1985
He is very, very interesting. He lifts me so much more than my
minister does. My minister ought to listen to Mr. Armstrong to
learn how to become interesting.
A.P. (Cleveland, OH)
I'm getting ready to go to church, and I keep the broadcast
blasting so I can hear it in the next room.
S.I. (Statesville, NC)
I'd like to know more about your church before I sign up. I heard
Mr. Armstrong today.
Do you believe in the New Testament?
You're not Jewish? You're not Jehovah's Witnesses, are you? OK
--send me the literature.
Mrs. M.G. (Central Point, OR)
I would like to say it's quite a relief not to hear someone cry,
beg and plead for the bucks so they can continue on (crying, beg­
ging and pleading) next week. I'm also amazed that a person can
say more in about 25 minutes than all others combined in a day.
F.V. (Dallas, TX)
One Sunday I turned your program on and really got quite a bless­
ing from it. You didn't ask me to join your one-hundred-a-month
club. You didn't say if you didn't receive one million dollars
you would have to leave the air. Thank God for you, and I wish
there were more like you.·
A.B. (Luther, MI)
I usually don't view the Sunday "video of the gods."... I had
just heard a preacher's pitch on saving the world (via the in­
spired viewer's $200 cash). Anyway, your broadcast followed. I
like you. You're good.
D.S. (Grand Haven, MI)
Since our grandchildren outgrew Captain Kangaroo, we have never
bothered to even turn on our TV on a Saturday morning until I
pressed the remote control by chance this morning at channel 5-­
then kept glued to it until the end of your program.
ON THE WORLD SCENE

TIMID UNCLE SAM GETS HIT AGAIN Once again America is held hostage. The
crisis over the fate of the crew and passengers of TWA Flight 847 has left
the American public frustrated and angry. People are demanding that the
government "do something" to prevent recurrences of terrorist acts against
American citizens and property. Sifting through the amount of news mate­
rial, interviews and analyses on this latest outrage, one main point is
evident: Because it has failed repeatedly in the past to retaliate against
acts of terrorism--often despite avowals to do so--the U.S. was a ripe
target for the latest hijacking. And unless the government can summon the
will to deal a punishing blow to terrorists this time, more disasters are
certain to come. First of all, here are excerpts from an editorial titled
"The Next Hijacking," which appeared in the June 18 WALL STREET JOURNAL:
