PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, SEPTEMBER 16, 1986
TO BE READ IN ALL CHURCHES
Taping of Services at the Feast
Sermons or other parts of services should not be taped by
anyone except those appointed by the Church to do so. The same
policy applies at the Feast of Tabernacles. Please do not take
your tape recorder to the Feast to tape the services, as taping
will not be permitted.
Those who are unable to attend may
request to borrow sermon tapes from their pastors after the
Feast.
Taking Pets to thP. Feast
The Church discourages members taking pets to the
Feast.
(The obvious exception would be seeing-eye
dogs or those animals trained to aid the deaf.) If
you cannot make arrangements to leave'pe�with a
friend, in a kennel or at home, then you must
arrange in advance with your hotel or motel to have
pets in your room.
However, any damage or other
problems caused by the pets are your responsibility.
In no way can the Church be involved or held
responsible.

International News
From Canada The normal summer lull wasn't apparent in the responses to
the telecast. Despite the fact that the programs are reruns of ones shown
earlier this year, they have attracted more responses on the second
showing than on the first. We received 5,361 WATS calls this month, only
one call short of the previous record month of February 1986 (which
included Mr. Armstrong's tribute telecast).
The result was a very
encouraging 285 percent increase in calls over August 1985 and a 203
percent year-to-date increase over 1985.
Mr. Richard Ames' program on "Mystery of the Ages" drew 1,242 calls,
second only to the 1,650 calls received from the tribute broadcast. The
same program by Mr. Ames had brought in 1,139 calls from its first airing
on May 11, a record that stood until August 31 as the second-highest
number of responses ever.
