FIGHT BACK!               DO 1718                   7/77
--On PR & Answering Questions from the Media

         1. I don't think the bitter attacks in '74 in America & England did us a bit of damage! Apparently they must have done us GOOD because we've grown faster than ever! The more they attack us, the more we grow! The more they curse us, the more the Lord blesses it! TYL!
         2. I was really disappointed in our kids! Imagine, you never know when you might be on BBC, & SHE WAS! Think of it! (Maria: She was right on the program?) Yes, they played the tape recording of the phone call right on the show! She didn't realise she was talking to all England, all Britain, in fact all the WORLD!
         3. She was typically evasive, you know, like she was guilty & hiding instead of ATTACKING!--Instead of replying, "Well of COURSE we encourage sex! What's the matter with sex? Don't you like sex? GOD made sex!" What's the matter with the kids that they don't have a more positive approach?
         4. They need to go on the attack, attack!--Instead of suddenly getting freaked out & scared & not knowing what to say! They shouldn't have people like that answering the telephone! They should never have anybody answer the phone anywhere but somebody who knows all the answers & can sock it to'm if they have to! It's pitiful! There was her chance to be a witness to the World & she really muffed it & was really weak!
         5. The World would have gotten a kick out of that & she could have set that self-righteous hypocrite back on his heels if she had said, "Of COURSE we like sex! Of course we encourage sex! God MADE sex! Don't you like sex?"
         6. They should have been on the ATTACK! What the Hell's the matter with them! They must have let some little babe or some little nobody answer the phone who didn't know what to say!
         7. If people don't look to the LORD for their answers, God help us! My Lord, I mean any girl like that who answers the phone should ask the Lord immediately what to say & the Lord would have showed her! That's the only thing that disappoints me, that our kids are so weak sometimes. Thank God SOME of them must be strong because we're growing & getting fruit & results!
         8. My God, where are the fighters that know how to attack! I mean, his questions were the easiest kind in the World to answer! She said, "Huh...what...yes...but...we don't distribute that on the streets." They must be ashamed of it. They must not have conviction!
         9. They should be always ready to "give an answer to him that asketh of thee!" Peter said so as plain as day!--1Pet.3:15. They must not have the guts, the conviction to answer. It must be that some of these kids really aren't SOLD, they don't really have the GUTS, they haven't got the CONVICTION about FFing & things like that, otherwise they could fire back & fight back! It's just sickening the way they seem to be so unsure of themselves! (Maria: I think it took her by surprise, because those were DO Letters that weren't supposed to be seen by outsiders.)
         10. Nevertheless, we've got to come out & attack & say, "So what? Of COURSE this is what we believe! Of COURSE this is what we teach! It's Scriptural, it's God-given, we believe it, we practice it, so what the Hell do you care? Why not?" And the World, believe it or not, the honest open-minded World will admire their guts for sticking up for their convictions & sticking to their guns instead of backwatering & backing down before these sickening, self-righteous hypocrites!
         11. I am not ashamed or at all dismayed at the challenge of the Enemy, in fact the Enemy really is pretty weak compared to what he might do. What dismays me and disappoints me & sickens me is that our own kids haven't got the guts & the gumption or the fight to fight back & trap them in their own words & challenge them & attack them right in what they're talking about!
         12. Why back down & try to deny it?--It's all in print, they've got it! Are they ashamed of it? Why should they be ashamed of it? Why are they ashamed of it? For some reason or other they haven't got the right attitude if they're ashamed of it. They're not ready to stick up for it & sock to'm, they're ashamed of it! It's pitiful when they're caught & they're embarrassed & they're ashamed instead of coming out & socking it to'm & just telling them off!
         13. My Lord deliver us! Give us FIGHTERS, people with GUTS & CONVICTION that believe what we say! It must be that they just haven't got the conviction themselves or they'd stick up for it, right? They'd stand up for it & they'd fight for it! But they get scared & rattled & stammer & stutter & don't know what to say! I don't know why they don't know what to say, I've said plenty! I've said enough that they ought to have plenty to say!
         14. God help us & deliver us from cowards! Give us brave soldiers that know how to FIGHT & throw it back in their teeth & break their teeth, kick'm in the teeth with the same Truth!--Psa.3:7. There's nothing they can quote out of my Letters that I'm ashamed of! There's nothing that they can fire at us in public from those "secret Letters" that I'm ashamed of! Just stand up & sock'm in the teeth with it! "Why not? What's wrong with that? Of course we do!"
         15. I told them way back in that Letter "Contend For the Faith" (No.143A) how to answer the press! I said, "When they accuse you of brainwashing, say, `Well, of course we brainwash people, why not? People have dirty minds, they NEED washing! The Bible says we should wash them with the pure water of the Word (Eph.5:26), what's the matter with that? Everybody's engaged in brainwashing, every advertisement, every religion, every church is trying to brainwash people!'"
         16. I'm telling you, if they don't know how to be bold, if they're not fighters, they don't belong to this outfit! I mean really, they do not!--If they are not bold fighters on the attack! Cowards just do not belong in this outfit! Namby-pamby, milk-&-water, string-for-a-backbone cowards who have no guts or conviction and are ashamed and don't know what to say don't belong! They should all be willing to FIGHT for their convictions!
         17. This Revolution was not built by cowards, or fought by cowards--it was fought by brave, bold warriors who challenged the Enemy! When the Enemy comes up & challenges you, you don't go on the defensive, you don't start backwatering or side-stepping or coughing & wheezing & spitting & stammering & stuttering & get scared & back off, you ATTACK him! You take the initiative & go on the attack & sock it to him! Jesus hardly ever answered a question without a question.--Mat.21:23-27; 22:15-21.
         18. They should never backwater or side-step! Upon any blow they ought to go straight to the attack & attack the guy themselves! Take the initiative! Get on the offensive! Attack! Be the aggressor! Quit trying to defend yourself, it's so stupid! You don't have to defend it--CHALLENGE him with it! It must have been sickening for the people that heard it, to hear how scared she was & how she backed down & backed out & ran, literally ran & left the field to the Devil! It makes me so mad! It must have been some little brand-new babe who didn't know beans from beans! Lord help us! My God, what the Hell is wrong with our kids if they don't know the simple answers to that? Of COURSE we believe in sex & of COURSE you've got to get dirty to save people! Oh my God! They must not be reading the Letters, that's all I can think of, or they'd have the answers!
         19. Give us fighters, Lord, who aren't afraid to go on the attack!--Who aren't ashamed of what they believe!--Aren't ashamed of what they practice!--Aren't afraid of the Devil & his stupid, silly, idiotic little challenges! Lord help us! PYL! TYL! Give us FIGHTERS, Lord!--Positive fighters, people who can stand up for what they BELIEVE & FIGHT for it & DIE for it! People who are ashamed of what we believe & ashamed of what I write ought not to be in this Army, they ought not to be with us!--And they shouldn't let some ignorant babe who doesn't know anything answer the telephone! (Amen? GBAKY fighting as long as you can!--THEN flee! "He who FIGHTS & runs away lives to fight another day!"--Amen!--JESUS did!--Until it was finally time to DIE for us!--How about YOU?)
