I don't like to see the beliefs of any religion
misrepresented.  If you want to know what a religion
believes, go to that religion - don't ask their
enemies or even someone neutral.  AFTER you have
found out what that religion states as its beliefs,
you can ask others to comment on their OPINIONS
about those beliefs.  That is the only fair way!

I am a member of the Worldwide Church of God and
I have seen our religion grossly misrepresented
many times.  I can only assume that other religious
groups are likewise misrepresented by others.  I
have certainly seen others misrepresented on this
net.  Now I see my church misrepresented.  (I don't
want to imply evil intent, just mistakes and 
misunderstandings are bad enough if others believe
them.)

If you want to know what we believe on any subject,
please write; we send FREE booklets and reprint
articles on ANY subject.  I mean FREE.  The circulation
of the free PLAIN TRUTH magazine is over 5,000,000.  We
send millions of pieces of free literature every year.
We never ask the general public (including subscribers)
for money.  There is NEVER any followup asking you to
join, believe, or give.  There is nothing in the
magazine or other literature asking you to join,
believe, or give.

The address is:
   Herbert W. Armstrong
   Pasadena, Calif 91123

Or you can call 1-800-423-4444 toll free.

If you still don't like the idea of being on someones
mailing list (it's never given or sold to anyone),
you can ask me.  I will try to answer any questions,
but I won't guarantee how quick I might be.
