TELEPHONE TRAITORS & PROBLEM PASTORS!
MWWFL 19 & 20!            DFO 315A        10/74

         1. TELEPHONES ARE NOT THE PRIMARY ANSWER TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEMS!--In fact, from all I hear & read of telephone calls, they are becoming much more of a PROBLEM than a HELP, & I have more than once threatened to remove them ALL if they were not used according to the rules!
         2. THE BREAKING OF THESE TELEPHONE RULES WHICH I MYSELF WROTE DOWN IN DETAIL IS DELIBERATE, WILFUL, FLAGRANT & DEFIANT DISOBEDIENCE, & either you're going to start OBEYING them & we're going to find somebody who can ENFORCE them, including the TOP administrators, or we're going to rip them ALL out & make everybody write LETTERS to us & we to them, including business contacts & the authorities!
         3. WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR OF ANOTHER LONG DISTANCE PHONE CALL WHICH IS NOT AN URGENT CRISIS OR ABSOLUTE LIFE & DEATH EMERGENCY, & certainly no more of these reports & personal family arguments carried on by telephone! You're going to have to learn a little patience & have a little more faith that God will work things out until you're able to write a letter &/or get an answer by letter! I'm beginning to think that our telephones are becoming more of a curse than a blessing, like automobiles, churches etc.!--And if we don't stop misusing them, we're going to get rid of ALL of them!
         4. IF YOU ADMINISTRATORS CANNOT ENFORCE THESE RULES, WE'LL REMOVE YOU ALSO, & put some babe in there who'll obey, & we'll get further with THEM than we do with leaders who DON'T.
         5. AND ANY OF YOU TOP LEADERS WHO VIOLATE THESE PHONE RULES ARE GOING TO BE THE FIRST TO GO, because we cannot have LEADERS trying to teach OTHERS to OBEY who THEMSELVES refuse to do so! An OBEDIENT BABE could do a better job in your position than a lousy LAW-BREAKING LEADER like YOU!--And I don't mean perhaps!
         6. WE'LL TURN THE WHOLE WORKS OVER TO SOME BABES WHO CAN OBEY & love us enough to BELIEVE what we say!--And if you think I'm KIDDING just TRY me! We'll send you somewhere up to the front lines on some pioneer field as we've done before with those who don't know how to OBEY, & we'll be much better off WITHOUT you!
         7. YOU THINK BREAKING THE TELEPHONE RULES IS A SMALL THING, but as the Scripture says, "He that breaks the LEAST of these commandments & shall teach OTHERS so, is least of ALL!"--Mat.5:19.--And "whosoever shall keep the WHOLE LAW & yet OFFEND in ONE POINT is GUILTY of ALL!"--James 2:10.
         8. WHICH MEANS YOU'LL BREAK THE BIGGER ONES & EVEN THE GREATEST AS WELL & ARE A TRAITOR TO THE CAUSE! "For he that is faithful in that which is LEAST is also faithful in that which is MOST" (Luke 16:10), but he that is UNfaithful in the LEAST will also be UNfaithful in the MOST & we cannot trust you with ANYTHING!
         9. IF WE CANNOT TRUST YOU TO KEEP THE TELEPHONE RULES, WE CERTAINLY CANNOT TRUST YOU TO RUN THE WORLD! God showed me again just the other day even while walking down the street that we are now in our TRAINING period in THIS life in preparation for ruling the WORLD in the NEXT! If we do not pass THESE tests & complete these grades & learn THESE lessons in THIS life, we shall certainly be unfit to RULE in the NEXT & shall surely be the LEAST of ALL in the coming Kingdom of God on Earth, "raised to everlasting SHAME & CONTEMPT" before ALL!--Dan.12:2.
         10. THE ONE THING THAT GOD SAYS THAT HIS WORKERS NEED ABOVE ALL IS TO BE "FOUND FAITHFUL" (1COR.4:2), which means LOYAL & OBEDIENT & BELIEVING! Anyone found UNFAITHFUL on the PHONE, is also DISLOYAL, DISBELIEVING, DISOBEDIENT & UNFAITHFUL in OTHER things as well, & can be trusted in NOTHING & has lost the savour of his spiritual usefulness to God! You are therefore "good for NOTHING but to be CAST FORTH & trampled under the feet of men" who are BETTER able to care for the Kingdom of God & take your place!--Mat.5:13.
         11. THAT IS JUST HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO KEEP THESE TELEPHONE RULES &/or any of the other rules which you may merely think are MINOR but which will become MAJOR MUTINIES if we allow you to continue to break the LEAST of them!--And that is exactly what is happening right now!
         12. AND ANYONE WHO PERMITS SUCH CALLS OR KNOWS OF THEM & DOESN'T REPORT THEM IS JUST AS GUILTY & deserves the SAME treatment!--Amen?--Let's ALL help EVERYBODY keep the rules!--PTL?--Thanks!--GBY!

VISITATION!

         13. No matter how many times I say it, you still insist on bringing all problem cases to ghq to see how wonderful you are & how they ought to be to inspire them to be like you, which is probably exactly what they don't need & shouldn't be in their own field in an entirely different part of the World under entirely different circumstances & in an entirely different situation!
         14. You're always wanting them to come see the big shots & how the bosses are doing when you oughta be visiting the little shots in the boonies to see how they're doing under their own circumstances in their own field & hear from their own people what the problems are, not from the problem cases themselves! It's as though the state should bring the criminal into court & have the state's prosecutor ask only for his own story in his own defense instead of sending out investigators to find witnesses who can tell you the other side as well!
         15. This is just how ridiculous your oft-forbidden system is of always bringing problem cases to GHQ at tremendous expense to ask them what the problem is instead of taking your feet off your damned desk & getting off your beastly butt & going out there to see for yourself & to hear the other side as well!
         16. This is why I've always said we need a fulltime World-roving trouble-shooter who can constantly patrol the fields & see what's going on for yourself instead of inviting the Whole world leadership to come to another damned luxurious conference or convention instead of hitting the road yourself & visiting the field itself to see what's actually going on!
         17. I have begged several of you several times before to do this, but seldom has anyone of you top leaders wanted that much to forsake all to follow Jesus around the World to see for yourself what his poor little sheep's problems really are! Instead, you sit comfortably in the fold & pick up the forbidden phone to call the lost sheep, to make his own way home & promise to have a conference with him about his problems after he's safely made his own way back into the fold & you haven't had to risk your life to save him!
         18. We have to have fulltime field supervision, a top minister or ambassador who's willing constantly to rove the World & visit every field & every region & "strengthen the brethren" & "see how they do", as Paul & the apostles did!--Acts 15:36,41; 18:23. Instead you call the errant brethren into Antioch GHQ for a convention so you can comfortably listen to their reports, often erroneous from errant leaders, instead of visiting with all the brethren on all the fields & asking the sheep themselves what the hell's wrong with their shepherd & their own fold & seeing & hearing it for yourself!
         19. I never heard of a business nor a denomination nor a government nor any kind of an organisation yet who didn't have some kind of a top trouble-shooter, secretary of state, foreign minister or field supervisor who could shoot out at a moment's notice to any place in the World where there were problems & try to nip them in the bud before they killed the whole plant! It should be & could be one of the most interesting jobs in the whole Family, as well as one of the toughest & most sacrificial, but not one of you has ever wanted to do it consistently.
         20. You have occasionally visited a little nearby field here or there, & usually only for a day or two of temporary discomfort & to often bring back with you the guilty parties to be given the royal red-carpet treatment of luxurious entertainment to see how sumptuously you live on their hard-earned dough at GHQ, setting them a dandy-bad example of which they should be the last to follow in their own hardship front line field situation, instead of going out there & suffering with them to see & hear & feel what they're actually having to personally go through in order to really understand their situation & give the right kind of recommendation for its rectification!
         21. Even when we were in evangelistic work, we used to return year after year to the little churches we had established or where we had held meetings to see how they were doing now, which I'll grant you wasn't very encouraging & which is why we started the revolution, to break out of a church system that didn't work! But at least we tried, & we tried to keep after them!
         22. When we had our first club I visited it nearly every night to see how it was doing, often spying on it incognito from the outside through the front window or checking the back alley door or surprising its residents & staff at about the time of their midnight retiral!
         23. Later when on the road, I often visited every vehicle at night to see if they had proper heat, blankets, ventilation & were as comfortable as possible & had all their needs supplied as best we could, sometimes surprising them by sticking my head in their window when they least expected it!
         24. At TSC, we used to visit every cabin when you were all in classes or meetings to see exactly what was going on & what the living conditions were & what the needs were, or eavesdropped outside your meeting place to see what you were teaching & how the kids were reacting so we could really know what was going on!
         25. Some of you are so busy bossing others you don't have time to read what the Boss Himself has already said, which could solve a lot of your problems. Undershepherds who are so busy with the sheep they haven't time to listen to the shepherd's instructions are going to have nothing but trouble! Some of you need to dig back into what we've already said on nearly all of these issues, & which is what your index was made for & your books printed for!
         26. I AM ACTUALLY AMAZED WHEN I OFTEN GET THE SAME QUESTIONS FROM SOME OF OUR TOP LEADERS WHICH I ANSWERED LONG AGO in some of their long-lost Letters which they haven't taken time nor trouble to read lately, but would rather run ask TEACHER again than DIG it out for THEMSELVES, as I've said before! How long will we be "ever learning but never coming to a knowledge?"--2Tim.3:7. According to HISTORY, we NEVER learn from history! May God help us!--And YOU!
