PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, AUGUST 16, 1985
there was no basis for much of what I believed.
And now I have
spent three or four years doing nothing but studying religion.
And I am happy to say that yours is the only church I have found
no flaw in. I really believe that this is the true Church of God!

Newlywed Discovers Husband's Interest in The PLAIN TRUTH
After watching your television programs several different times I
decided to write for some of your literature. I should have had
pencil and paper ready but I was listening so intently I had to
grab the first thing at hand to write on. I could not believe my
eyes when, after writing down the information, I saw that I had
written on an envelope that my husband received in the mail yes­
terday. On the envelope were the words: "LAST CHANCE TO RENEW
THE PLAIN TRUTH." We have been married four months, but I did not
know that he had a subscription to your magazine.
After-studying several different religions, I find there truly is
a lot of deception on this earth. I am very interested in the
Bible and th� truth. I believe you speak the truth. I can't tell
you how informative your program is.

Man Sends Himself Gift Subscription to Test Offer
I've decided to contact you to give you a formal apology. I sub­
scribed to The PLAIN TRUTH under the guise of "a friend," that is
to say, I filled a subscription blank and checked off the box
indicating that someone other than myself wanted The PLAIN TRUTH
to be sent to my home.
Why the subterfuge?
I've been misled before. Also, I've had
little to no Bible study or understanding in my life. I wanted to
see what you were up to before I made a commitment to continue
reading what you say is truth.
Not only do I read your magazine, I double-check what is said
with the Scriptures. This is and will remain my form of measure­
ment.
I've read your book THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN
PROPHECY and the booklets WHY WERE YOU BORN? and DOES GOD EXIST?
I am requesting additional literature and have asked to receive
the start of my Bible training through the Ambassador College
Bible Correspondence Course.

Unusual Literature Request From Young Boy
I'm ten years old and don't have any money and wanted to get my
parents a Christian thing for their anniversary. Your literature
is the perfect thing. Please send it as inconspicuously as pos­
sible. I love the program! My mom doesn't know I'm watching. I
watch all the time. I think it's great!
