GET'M OUT NOW!            DO 2041                  23/8/85
--All You Can While You Can Before You Can't!
(Following a letter from Peter about the Family's low Poster distribution:)

         1. (TO PETER:) I SUGGEST YOU WHIP YOUR LETTER IN SHAPE FOR AN URGENT NOTICE TO GO IN THE GN! (See GN 200) You should explain that the talk "Postering!--Seeds or Souls?" (#1920) was for when they were very short of Posters & they only had the few we were sending them, so we wanted to make them really count. Now they've got oodles of them & they can afford to distribute them more liberally & sow the seed & sow it fast while they can! If the farmer sees that the Summer's getting short & the Winter's coming soon, he's not quite so careful about how he does things, he just does his plowing rip rip rip & scatter-seeds if necessary to get it done quick so he can try to get one more crop before the storm!
         2. THEY CAN EVEN AFFORD TO GET A LITTLE LESS PER POSTER DOING IT FASTER & GETTING THEM OUT! Right now because of the impending Crash & the whole tightening World situation--impending everything it looks like--they need to get them out while they can & let the chips fall where they may!--Before the chips are inserted!
         3. WE NEED TO REALLY SOCK IT TO'M THAT I'M GREATLY DISAPPOINTED IN SOME OF THEIR WEAK POSTER & TAPE DISTRIBUTION!--Not all of them, because those who are really getting out Postering & Taping are really getting tremendous results & responses, but there must be a lot of people who aren't!
         4. THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO FEEL REAL ASHAMED TO FACE THE LORD ONE OF THESE DAYS WHO DIDN'T DO THEIR BEST! I used to sing an old song, "I wonder have I done my best for Jesus, when He has done so much for me?" When we have worked so hard to give them the tools to do the job, then they loaf & laze around & don't do it & they've got stacks of Posters in their Homes that they're not getting out, then something's wrong somewhere!
         5. OF COURSE, WHEN WE WERE FIRST SENDING OUT JUST A FEW POSTERS & WE WERE THE ONLY ONE SUPPLYING THEM, WE DID STRESS THAT THEY SHOULD MAKE EVERY ONE COUNT & not go so fast as some of them were going, such as that one couple who passed out 100 Posters in one day! That's going to the opposite extreme, letting the seed fall where it may! But right now, in view of the impending Crash, I would suggest they get'm out & get'm out fast, or they may not be able to get'm out at all! They'd certainly be ashamed to face themselves or us or the Lord with a house full of Posters & no longer able to distribute'm.
         6. "HE THAT WITHHOLDETH, IT TENDETH TO POVERTY!" (Pro.11:24)--Not only poverty of finances, but poverty of spirit & poverty of souls! They'd be very ashamed when they think what they could have done with them & didn't do, after all the work that we went to to put the Posters & Music Tapes in their hands--work & expense & everything we could do! And now we're going to do the ultimate of making sure every Home has at least a six months' reserve of Posters!
         7. WE'RE NOT GOING TO JUST QUIT PUBBING THEM ONCE THEY'VE GOT SIX MONTHS' WORTH, that's their reserve in case something suddenly happens to the PPC, so they will have enough to continue for 6 months of an emergency. But we are going to supply them with a continual monthly supply, for which we'd still expect them to continue to pay the PPCs for their printing & postage expenses.
         8. SO WHEN THE EMERGENCY DOES HAPPEN & THEIR SUPPLIES ARE CUT OFF, THEY WILL HAVE THAT 6 MONTHS OF POSTERS TO RUN ON! They're not just supposed to quit buying Posters from the PPC & just subsist on that 6-month supply from now on, they are to reserve that 6-month supply. They've got to reserve their reserves, that's what they're for! They're to keep them safely in some safe place & form so they will have them when they need them in case of emergency, & not be living off of them now!
         9. I WOULD SAY THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON SHOULD CERTAINLY BE ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE AT LEAST TEN POSTERS A DAY AT THE MINIMUM! I think that's pretty reasonable. Our stats are built on per adult basis, regardless of whether they all go out postering or not. So based on a "per adult" stat, we ought to consider they should be able to at least make 100 per month per adult, which means the adults that do go out will probably have to get out 200 a month. That's only 10 a day, only 20 days a month! If they're not doing that, I don't see how they're going to get any support!
         10. I WAS THINKING & PRAYING ABOUT THIS, "WELL, LORD, SHALL WE DISTRIBUTE CASH NOT ONLY TO OUR UNITS BUT EVEN TO THE HOMES? What can we do for them?" And just as clear as anything it came to me that we can give them a good stock of reserves that will keep them going for six months, enough lit to support them for six months! That'll make sure they get'm out! They'll have to get'm out to live.
         11. IF THEY'RE WISE ENOUGH TO KEEP OUT OF TROUBLE with the cops in a raid, the lit would be much safer in the Homes than at a centralised PPC or at the printers! So let's furnish them with lit & the Enemy is not going to get'm all, especially if they're salted down & as widespread & as dispersed as possible, & the best place for that is in each Home.
         12. IF THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A RESERVE QUANTITY OF LIT, IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO KEEP IT SOMEPLACE ELSE BESIDES THEIR HOME! They can rent a garage or a container or storage space at a furniture storage company or some safe, dry place. There must be some places like that, even a locker!--Somewhere besides the Home, where if they lose everything in the house they're not going to lose their bread & butter, their stock in trade, their living & their excuse for living, their lit!
         13. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE EVERY HOME IN THE WORLD HAVE ENOUGH POSTERS & TAPES TO KEEP THEM GOING FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS! That's investing where it really counts!--In the Message, the tools & the personnel, the man-power, out where it will be used for what we're here for, as well as help to support them.
         14. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE PPC'S SHOULD GO AHEAD & GET THEM OUT AS FAST AS THEY CAN! (Peter: In other words, if a Home gets out 1000 Posters this month, they could still pay their normal price & then the PPC would print a new 1000 & send it to them.)--Yes, they have to keep up those reserves. There will be a constant flow, but we're going to give them extra reserves ahead of time, just like we have given our Units funds. We're going to give the Homes a stock of reserves of lit which they are going to continue to use but also replenish each month. (Maria: Like we do with survival food.--Not just sticking the Posters in a warehouse & never using them.)--Yes!
         15. THEY'LL ROTATE THEM JUST LIKE SURVIVAL FOOD! They'll keep them in a safe place where the backlog & reserves will be safe from raids, but just like a bank account, they will continue to withdraw their living expenses while they continue to deposit their income of more Posters. And they will continue to send their money to their PPCs so they can produce the income, the replenishment of their Posters. That's the idea & I think that's the best place we can put our money! The Homes are still required to pay the PPC for the Posters they distribute each month. If they don't pay, then the NROs should put their mailings on hold, just as if they didn't pay their tithe.--Amen? PTL! GBY! I think that's encouraging, that was the answer I got. Let's get the money where it can be most used, where it's really needed & where the World needs what they've got!--And the Lord will bless us for it!
         16. (PRAYS:) AMEN! PTL! THANK YOU LORD FOR THE WISDOM YOU GIVE US. WE PRAY THAT THESE RESERVES FOR CONTINUED OPERATION & SURVIVAL WILL REACH OUT INTO EVERY ONE OF OUR HOMES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. Even if they're cut off from printing or communication or further supplies or whatever, they will have stored their stock-in-trade safely somewhere, their products that they can continue to sell to keep going as long as possible.
         17. WE KNOW YOU'RE GUIDING & SHOWING US THE WAY LITTLE BY LITTLE AS WE COME TO IT, & that's all we need. All we need to know is what we have to do today & to prepare for tomorrow. Prepare us, & thank You for how You have prepared us! Help us plan & thank You for how You have been helping us to plan so that we might survive the coming crises--the Crash, tightening restrictions or whatever they may be.
         18. HELP US TO PUT EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT INTO IT NOW WHILE WE CAN & GET IT OUT SO IT'LL BE THERE & NOT BOTTLED UP SOMEPLACE WHERE IT'LL BE USELESS! Help us to get the funds into circulation now, to get the materials out, the tools out where they belong, where they're needed now, where they can be used before it's too late! Protect, prosper & make us fruitful with many many more souls for Thy Kingdom before Thou dost come, in Jesus' name we ask it for Thy glory! Amen! PTL! Hallelujah! Praise God!
         19. SO YOUR HOME SHOULD NOW GET OUT AN AVERAGE OF AT LEAST 100 POSTERS PER ADULT PER MONTH!--Or you're not doing your job!--His Work!--His Order: "Go ye into all the World & preach the Gospel to every creature"!
         20. SURELY YOU CAN GET OUT AT LEAST 10 POSTERS A DAY EACH!--These latest Poster Stats are a disgrace!--You should be ashamed of yourselves!--After all the hard work & tremendous expense we went to to get'm to you!
         21. C'MON! LET'S GO! FIGHT, TEAM, FIGHT! LET'S WIN, so we can all go Home Victors from the fray!--Amen?--HAL! TYJ!--Now get out all you can before you can't!--Or you'll be sorry! GBAKY!--In Jesus' name, amen!
