PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, NOVEMBER 4, 1986
llarch ·Plain Truth• Planning Session In the March •p1ain Truth,• we plan
a far-reaching and thorough discussion of economy--from an internatfonal,
domestic and personal point of view.
Most readers' minds would be on
their pocketbooks at that time of year.
Subjects covered include the
worldwide problem of debt, national and personal; how defense spending
destroys economies; the international problem of burdensome taxes; and the
effect of drug addiction on nations--both users and providers.
Paul

these subjects together.
We plan also to bring in God's system of
economics in a sensible and logical way.

•Youth
a,•
Letters Obviously, some of you are sharing the letters we've
been including in this report with the brethren, because we got this
response from a 12-year-old Church youth: •A reader of 'Youth 86'
suggested in the PGR that it would be nice if all the young people would
save aluminum can money and give it to the Church. We heard this just the
day after we cashed ours in, so we decided to send it in as an offering.•
A young Michigan reader from an atheistic background writes:
•1 would
like to tell you how much I have learned from 'Youth 86,' 'The Plain
Truth' and other literature I have been receiving for the past five years.
I learned a lot about God and the world in general from you.
•1 am now 16 and have finally made up my mind to lead life following God
rather than men. Despite coming from an atheistic family and having been
an atheist myself, after these five years of struggling with the truth, I
have decided to go God's way.
•1t is hard because the people I associate most with (future scientists>
leave God out of everything.
Planning to become a theoretical physicist
myself, I will need God's help to stay with Him.
Thank you for all you
have done. Enclosed is $20 for you to use for God's work.•
