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. John Rutis
