GOD'S FAILURES!

         1. WHAT FAILURES SOME PEOPLE BECOME WHEN THEY MISS GOD'S BEST because they are either too lazy or unwilling or don't love Him or others enough to do it! He'll usually still try to use them somewhere in what little they're willing to do, but it seldom amounts to much when they're so disobedient & rebellious in the MAJOR needed thing God has called them to do.

FAMILY ART & LIT: KEEP IT SIMPLE!

         2. WE DON'T NEED SLICK, FANCY, COLOURFUL, EXPENSIVE, PERFECTIONIST WORKS OF ART or masterpieces to illustrate either my Letters or other materials, especially for children--just something to very simply pictorialise in the easiest cartoon fashion the basic ideas of the Words.
         3. THESE NEW ILLUSTRATIONS HAVE BEEN SUCH A BLESSING TO OUR NEW LETTERS & I'M SURE TO ALL THE KIDS AS WELL, as they liven & brighten up the whole Letter, give it humour & joy, & clarify & simplify its general ideas. I'm sure even the little children enjoy looking at these pictures & get some of the ideas, even if they can't read & the Letter has to be read or explained to them as they're shown the pictures along with the Letter.
         4. COLOUR IS NICE & MASTERPIECES ARE BEAUTIFUL, BUT WE NEED SPEED & QUANTITY & SIMPLICITY & ROCK BOTTOM COSTS to develop the lit we need by the millions for the billions! Colour can come later (It now HAS, TTL!) or maybe on one or two trial things for the System & their kids to see if they'd sell, which might help pay expenses as well as to get the Message to the World.
         5. SO OUR MAIN JOB IS TO GET OUT THE MESSAGE CLEARLY, QUICKLY, SIMPLY, EASILY, CHEAPLY & IN ENORMOUS QUANTITIES FOR ALL & not just to entertain or satiate the spoiled eyes of the poor little rich kids who already have everything!
         6. WHATEVER WE DO WE MUST DO QUICKLY as we haven't much time or freedom left! Tomorrow's too late, & it's almost too late now, but may God have mercy on us & give us a little more time!
         7. TO ME, OUR ARTISTS ARE NOW SOME OF OUR MOST VALUABLE PERSONNEL! You'll someday soon even be able to get along without ME, but I don't think ANY of our lit will EVER be able to get along well without more ART work! It doesn't even have to be what others may call art--it need only be crazy, simple, little childish cartoons to illustrate the points, like some of Jesus' childlike little stories.

IMPORTANCE OF CHILDCARE MINISTRY!

         8. YOUR SHOCKING STATEMENT THAT REALLY RAISED MY HACKLES & MADE ME WANT TO ROAR AT THE WHOLE REVOLUTION WAS YOUR QUOTE: "We lack help & trained personnel because nobody wants the training as they feel that getting involved with children will cause them to be out of the exciting things of the Revolution," which is one of the most ridiculous things I ever heard! Our families & children ARE the Revolution & the MOST exciting things that ARE happening in it!
         9. BEARING BABIES & HAVING CHILDREN IS THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE IN THIS NATURAL LIFE, THE CREATION OF NEW ETERNAL SOULS FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD! It is just as exciting as having spiritual babies, & their training is just as important, if not more so, as we can start it from the very beginning & not have to wait until the World has almost ruined them so that we have to wash their filthy brains first before we can even start filling them with God's good, clean Water of the Word!
         10. WITH OUR PHYSICAL BABIES WE CAN START FROM SCRATCH & SAVE AT LEAST HALF THE BATTLE & we ought to be producing the World's most wonderful children, our greatest, most effective & most impressive sample & testimony to the whole World!
         11. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO EVER THOUGHT CHILDREN WEREN'T EXCITING NEVER HAD ANY or must never have even seen any, as to me they're the most exciting little things in the whole World, & I love'm & I love to be around them & surrounded by them & busy teaching & training them as I was with you when you were small, & still am with all of you crazy little kids who do such stupid things sometimes! But that's all a part of the process of learning by trial & error as well as instruction.
         12. YOU CHILDCARE WORKERS ARE DOING ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT & TREMENDOUS JOBS IN OUR WHOLE MINISTRY, as well as one of the toughest & most trying & difficult!--But also it's one of the most rewarding, so keep up the good work!--GBY!--ILY!

COPYRIGHTS

         13. PLEASE LET'S NOT ANY OF US FAIL IN YOUR LOCAL PUBLICATIONS OF ANY KIND TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE AND PROTECT OUR STUFF FROM BEING STOLEN by somebody else, as well as giving folks some kind of an address to which they can write for more or apply for help. I don't know how many times I'm going to have to say this before you all do it, but we still keep getting copies of real good lit with either NO COPYRIGHT or NO ADDRESS or no both! GHUs!
         14. WE'VE ALL BEEN GUILTY AT SOME TIME OR OTHER OF THESE OVERSIGHTS, BUT IT'S ABOUT TIME WE LEARNED, as we're beginning to hit the big time with some of our music & publications, & some of the Devil's own are bound to try to steal our stuff sooner or later, & if you don't put the copyright address on there & in the right place on the right page or cover, they can steal it & you have absolutely no protection or way to recover it & it'll be lost & gone forever, especially if THEY copyright it instead!
         15. YOU WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO USE IT YOURSELF THEN, OR PRINT IT OR RECORD IT OR SELL IT OR EVEN SING OR PLAY IT on radio or TV without their permission! My God, folks! Let's get with it & protect our stuff from the Enemy, please!

HEADQUARTERS SHOULD BE SMALL!

         16. YOU ALL HAVE HAD A TENDENCY SOMETIMES TOWARD BLOBBERY & often been unable to say NO to many who wanted & did come to sit down comfortably within your nice, soft blob without really being NEEDED or ESSENTIAL TOPNOTCH TOP PERSONNEL, which is all that should BE at the top!
         17. GHQ IS NOT A RESORT! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A FAIRLY WELL-HIDDEN HARD CORE & NERVE CENTRE of the whole body like the BRAIN, & it's a very sensitive situation & small space which cannot tolerate any BRAIN TUMOURS who don't belong there within the hard shell of your skull with no room to waste! So dig'm out & get rid of'm if you wanna be able to think straight & keep the body alive & coordinated & doing its job!--Amen? PTL! ILY!
