PDQ CENTERS!--World Series No.13         DO1093   20/1/82

         1. THERE IS NO WORLDWIDE DICTATORSHIP THAT IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL EVERY SINGLE PEOPLE UNLESS THEY CONTROL & MONITOR ALL COMMUNICATIONS, & THE POSTAL SYSTEM IS ENTIRELY TOO PRIVATE! They couldn't possibly have enough people to open all letters & read'm all, etc. So they're going to computerise & electronicise the mail through computers that can sift it out & almost analyse it & detect any funny things about it. But it takes time to build Rome & this is going to be, as many Bible students have called it, "The New Roman Empire"!
         2. So the reason I got to talking about this is that the individual private postal system of private letters is going to disappear eventually! Now, that'll probably be toward the End because it's not physically possible yet & functioning soon enough, they don't have enough terminals. You take the Third World areas like South America & the Far East, etc., it's going to be a long time before they get systems like that which they can totally control, & in the meantime they'll have to have a Postal System for all kinds of business communication, banking in the local area, etc.
         3. When the war disrupts today's common Postal System, it could disrupt communications between continents, but I don't think it's going to affect communications, particularly Postal communications too much on Third World continents in countries where there was no war such as South America, India, Southeast Asia & the Pacific. And even if after the war we're cut off between continents, I believe that publishing & distribution on a local scale, intracontinental, within the continent, will still probably continue much as it is today, both telephone & telegrams & the Postal System.
         4. So what that means to us is, that if we have a publishing center, for example, on the remaining existing continents that have not been destroyed or affected too much by the war, such as the Southern ones which we recommend the Family to go--South America, India, the Far East & the Pacific--that their communications system within their areas will continue much as it has been.
         5. THE LORD WON'T LEAVE US COMPLETELY WITHOUT COMMUNICATION as He didn't even in the difficult day of the Early Church when they had no Postal System, only had couriers & messengers. There'll still be some ways of communicating, I'm sure the Lord will not leave us completely comfortless & leave anybody in any area completely without communication from the Lord, & if they can't hear from me He'll raise up a prophet of their own such as Faithy or somebody.
         6. So that's the way I see it right now, & that is that we need to at least be prepared for the first problem of the war, & after the war for each area to have its own publication distribution system established & have that functioning even before the war begins. If we started now it would even save us an awful lot of money & it would save us a lot of time.
         7. If we would split up our present publication & distribution system into two, at least start off with two areas, maybe three eventually, then when the War comes it would not completely disrupt our whole publication & distribution system. We would still be able to have some kind of Magazine in each area. They're going to be thankful to get even the news of other Families in their own continent, even in their own country! And if that same little Magazine would contain even one Letter from us they'd be thankful if we were able to get it to'm somehow!
         8. So we have got to be prepared to service these areas & feed the Family in all of these areas even if some areas are cut off from each other. We've got to get the publishing houses established, we've got to get the leadership going so that they'll be able to carry on. These leaders must be around somewhere now & we need to give them an opportunity to start preparing for it, particularly on the feed end of the line, the publishing centers where we can distribute.
         9. THE LITTLE MICRO TAPES I THINK ARE GOING TO BE SO PREVALENT & so in use that it's going to be impossible to stop every micro tape & to know what's on it. And then, of course, we can go back to what we started with or eventually developed, & that is the microscopic 35mm film which we sent through the mail & you can disguise as a Letter & exchange these from here to there & disseminate them in a letter & pages upon pages reduced to 35 mm size & distributed throughout the World so they could shoot'm up & shoot'm out.
         10. There are all kinds of ways of doing it & the Lord'll show us the ways, but we need the people & the Units already set up who know how to do these things! If even one person in an area has a micro that we can send it to, they'll be able to put it on their micro & hear it or listen to it in their group or even transcribe it & distribute it, & that's the fastest way there is!
         11. And although the micros are a lot more bulky than 35's, at least they're not being subject to customs & inspection & everything now. At least we could get by with them for awhile! Then even if we're ever forced eventually to go back to 35's, well, we could do it. But these bulky computers & floppy disks, they're helping to make possible rapid production right now, but they're being too subject to inspection & customs, etc.
         12. WE NEED TO GET, I WOULD SAY, AT LEAST THREE INTERNATIONAL CENTERS SET UP FOR PUBLISHING: South America, the Mideast such as the India area, & the Far East such as the East Indies, Southeast Asia, Philippines, Japan, Australia & New Zealand. They need something in each area that'll handle the communications & publication & distribution of the Word.
         13. May the Lord please hold off the war long enough to at least get this idea organised where we'll have some type of communication & publication in each area that can carry on even if the major areas are cut off from each other. And then eventually even if the smaller areas are cut off from each other, each smaller area like the LIM area can at least be able to continue publication in their own area if nothing else.
         14. It's going to take time, but we have got to aim in that direction, go in that direction, start working on it so we can gradually build it to where it is functional & operational & working before the calamities & the emergencies happen that are going to require it & going to so desperately need it to be already in existence. So that's what we've got to work at now, OK?
         15. (Prays:) Lord bless'm, help'm & give'm wisdom in all these plans & preparations & in our moves & directions, Lord, & choice of places & personnel & material & publications systems & everything, Lord, work it out. Help each one to work it out & raise up the leadership who'll be able to take the responsibility & push it. Bless us, keep us & make us a blessing to the whole World & a continued blessing, Lord, to the whole World even after the War as long as possible till Your coming, in Jesus' name. Amen. PTL!
         16. THE LORD HAS ESTABLISHED A WONDERFUL INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION & PUBLISHING NETWORK WITH TOP-CONTROL which had to be done to unify the Family & to get back on the right track after the break-up of the Chain-Saul days & to properly teach & train & organise & get us back on the right track spiritually. But now the only safe headquarters of the Family is going to be with the genuine Commander-in-Chief, Jesus Christ in Heaven! If right now with one unified top international control, if they were to knock out our chief publishing house & editorial offices, this would virtually end our operation as far as international publishing is concerned all over the World! But now if we set up more localised publishing & distribution centers, regardless of what happens to one, the others will be able to continue.
         17. So we need to establish continental publishing houses, disperse, push the publishing down now to a continental basis in at least three different areas, & then have them push the publishing on down, if necessary, or have it prepared to be pushed down to a lower more local level in case the publishing cannot even be done continent-wide.
         18. While we're still in communication with the rest of the World we can get news from all over the World & we can have a pretty standard Magazine published everywhere. But when the time comes when we're cut off, they can continue to publish news, at least, from their part of the World because they've got the machine all built. They've got the mechanics all set up already.--The Lord is trying to prepare us for what's coming & this is what's got to be done.
         19. And I believe the Lord will help stave off the War perhaps long enough at least to help us get these major distribution centers established so that even if they're cut off from each other, each can continue to function to feed its own sheep & keep its own people in communication with each other, to disseminate its own news & its own letters, etc., so that they can continue to function as a ministry as local shepherds of the sheep.
         20. LET'S CALL'M A PD CENTER, THE MAJOR INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATION & DISTRIBUTION CENTERS which will service a whole continent such as South America, such as the sub-continent & such as the Far East, see? A PD Center where they can get it done "PDQ" as they used to say. "Pretty Damn Quick!"--Ha!
         21. So they'll be our PDQ Centers!--Ha!--Amen? Now all we need to do is get it done PDQ!--Pretty Damn Quick!--Thanks! ILY!--Wanna help?--Then send in your ideas--or go East & help'm get established! Amen? PTL! GBY! Keep movin' East, as many as can. There're already too many in South America. Move East, folks, move East!--& grow up PDQ! GBAKY! ILY!--In Jesus' name, Amen.
