26. EDUCATION, GODLY     --page 220--

         Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth (2Tim.2:15).

         1. We are genuine officers' training schools preparing a cadre for World leadership!
         2. It's always easier to do it yourself than to teach somebody else how to do it.
         3. If you're a good student you'll make a good teacher.
         4. People grow according to demands they make on themselves. If they demand little of themselves, they will remain stunted. If they demand a great deal of themselves, they will grow to giant stature.
         5. The whole purpose of this life is to prepare you for the Next Life.
         6. There's only one thing more painful than learning from experience, & that is not learning from experience.
         7. What history teaches us is that most men have never learned anything from it.
         8. To teach is to learn.
         9. You, as a teacher, affect eternity; no one can tell where your influence stops.
         10. The mediocre teacher tells.
         The good teacher explains.
         The superior teacher demonstrates.
         The great teacher inspires.
         11. Everyone is ignorant--only on different subjects.
         12. What I am to be, I am now becoming.
         13. A professor once said that it didn't matter if one said, "I seed," if one really had seen something.
        
         15. There is no education like adversity.
         16. It's strange how much you've got to know before you know how little you know.
         17. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could & should do for themselves.
         18. Give a man a fish, & you feed him for a day.
         Teach a man to fish & you feed him for life.
         19. God never puts you in a space too small to grow in.
         20. Fight truth decay.
         21. Experience is a good teacher--& she doesn't allow dropouts.
         22. By the time we recognise a man's brilliance we've forgotten the stupid questions he asked to get that way.
         23. Life is the soul's nursery it's a training place for the destinies of eternity.
         24. Men learn while they teach.
         25. Your child's education commences with you, their parents, & every word you speak within the hearing of your little children tends towards the formation of their character.
         26. A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn, is hammering on cold iron.
         27. Man cannot improve on God's plan or God's design!
         28. Every mistake can be a steppingstone if we learn our lesson from it.
         29. We're being trained right now, prepared & taught & skilled & tested for the job that we have yet to do!
         30. Teachers can help you avoid pitfalls & mistakes & be an easy alternative to bitter experience.
         31. Experience is the best teacher but the hardest.
         32. The mind is like a computer: it has to be filled with something, good or bad, and our reflexes are mentally conditioned to react in a certain way according to what we have been taught or experienced.
         33. Stick to what is good & add what is even better!
         34. Every fall is a step upward--if you learn from it.
         35. Even getting out the lit to others is not as important as getting the lit into yourself.
         36. The best education to get is an education in the Word & faith & survival & mobility & preaching the Gospel, right now.
         37. Now is the best time to learn, when you have the teacher here to correct your papers!
         38. Robert A. Millikan, the American physicist & Nobel Prize winner, once said: "Knowledge of the Bible is an indispensable qualification of a well-educated man."
         39. We're teaching people how to get along without churches & church buildings & preachers & denominations. We're teaching a do-it-yourself survival religion!
         40. We are God's computers, programmed by the Lord, & we only know as much as He has told us, & that's all we need to say!--But that's quite a bit!
         41. People who wonder how to teach a little child about Jesus must be people who don't even know Him.
         42. Teaching others to teach others to teach others to teach others is our basic principle.--2Tim.2:2.
         43. The day you stop learning you might as well die, because then you're dead already, mentally & spiritually!
         44. Don't give strong meat to Babes! Give them the milk they can understand!
         45. If you're gonna accomplish anything in this World, you can't just do it all yourself, you must teach others to teach others to teach others!
         46. The Word is the basic building block of our whole educational system!
         47. Constantly reading the Word can wear grooves & channels in your brain that can never be erased.
         48. The job I want in the Millennium is the same job I've got now: An Educator & a Publisher to try to teach the people the Truth!
         49. We are organising & establishing an educational system for the World.
         50. During the Millennium there will only be one educational system--ours!
         51. We believe in teaching others to teach others to teach others--an endless atom-bomb chain reaction of the Gospel!
         52. Our schoolbooks are the Letters & the Bible!
         53. Experience is the best teacher but a tough & costly one, whereas teachers are a shortcut to learning.
         54. Our whole purpose is education--educating people in the truth of the Gospel!
         55. We are now in our training period in this life in preparation for ruling the World in the next!
         56. Sometimes you can learn & accomplish more by putting to use what little you have where it's needed now, rather than waiting until you know as much as you think you need to know.
         57. There's always more to learn ... you never stop learning. We're not going to stop learning even after we get on the other side. And we're still going to use what we've learned here.
         58. All the experience you can possibly get in any field in any way is always valuable. I have found the Lord will use everything you've ever learned.
         59. We go through different phases & stages & needs, just like children in school, & God gives us whatever we need for the time.
         60. That lifetime of preparation is worth it all--even if only for that "moment of truth" & recognition by the Lord--that moment of usefulness that you were designed for.
         61. We study the Book of Acts not only as a history of the Early church, but as a pattern for today's church!
         62. You're now in training for the days when you will rule the Earth, but before you can do that, you must learn to rule yourselves.
         63. Our Revolutionary Education should have as its major purpose in every field and subject: To restore and build faith in God according to His rules.
         64. God created all things according to definite laws for every science and every art and every field of knowledge.
         65. We have an unlimited education!
         66. Where can you ever go to get a better education that will answer all your questions & solve all your problems than right here in God's Word & in the Family?
         67. The more I learn, the more I realise I need to learn. The more I know, the more I know I don't know.
         68. If you knew everything all at once you would miss the joys & the thrills of the multitudinous experiences of the exciting learning process, & might even lose your interest in living!
         69. The best way to teach is to help people find the answers to their own questions and to demonstrate it visibly if possible.
         70. The spiritual must be supreme, and the New Nation must be spiritual first of all!--The Kingdom of God!
         71. Brainwashing is our business--heartwashing too!--To clean up people's dirty minds & hearts with the pure water of His Word!
         72. Each one teach one to do your job!
         73. Delusion must be destroyed in order to build a firm foundation of Truth!
         74. The Word of God will make you smarter than all the ungodly education in the World & the ungodly wisdom of man, which is nothing.
         75. You cannot take something away from people unless you give them something to replace it.
         76. Start teaching people how to live by telling them how to give!
         77. The Christian nations were supposed to be the civilisers & the teachers of the World, but they failed in the job they started.
         78. The conquering of the World is only right when it's to teach it the civilized Christian ways of the Lord.
         79. We teach by the clinical method, learning by doing, with someone showing you how to do it.
         80. The Lord Himself has all kinds of grades and classifications in His school, and all kinds of positions in His army!
         81. It is high time to move to the attack and go on the offensive for God and the Truth of His Word against the heinous and hideous horrors of the Serpent's own monstrous fallacies in the halls of so-called higher learning, which bring only lower damnation!
         82. Students stand up for your convictions and fight for your faith in the classroom!
         83. I hear & I forget. I see & I remember. I do & I understand.
         84. It's far better to take care of your children that you have already, that are already born, and to teach & train them & to give them the Letters and get them well grown and taught and established, before you start going other places bearing other babies.
         85. If it's not the Word & not the Truth, I don't care to teach it to my children!
         86. There is no law in the World against brainwashing, every religion & church in the World does it, every political organisation does it, every advertising executive does it, every educational institution does it, every college & school in the World does it!--That's what education & religion & politics is all about, trying to wash your brain their way! We're trying to wash your brains God's way.
         87. To educate people in the things of the Lord, even in your witnessing, is your major task.
         88. In the Bible I always try to take literally what obviously I don't think could possibly be symbolic! If it makes sense literally, take it literally!--Unless it is interpreted for you as being symbolic.
         89. They only thing you need to get out of the Bible any more is the moral & spiritual lessons & instruction, not all this historical, geographical, genealogical detail & endless ancient History.
         90. Forget the past! Let's go forward! Let's concentrate on the now & the future & get our job done & stop wasting time on ancient history.
         91. Why in the Hell should we study about the past that should be gone & past & all forgotten? Why should we waste time on detailed intricate infinite study of every little detail of ancient history? It's past & there's nothing you can do about it. It's finished!
         92. We ought to be concentrating on the present & the future. You don't need to know all that junk of the past nor even read Old Testament History any more, it's a waste of time! You can read the Books of Psalms & Proverbs & things which are up to date, & apply to today, your spiritual lessons & everyday life & praise to the Lord as well as lots of prophecy about the Future, but you certainly don't need to go delving into the depths of ancient time.
         93. The reading of the New Testament, especially the life of Christ & particularly the Gospel of John is very helpful to new Christians, but I think they'd almost be better off if they didn't get tangled up in the Epistles of the Apostles. They get into some big doctrinal arguments there between Paul & Peter & some of the rest of them.
         94. Why should we waste our time looking backwards & studying the past when we have all we can possibly do working in the present & studying the Future?
         95. Why study the Bible? I've told you almost all you need to know about the Bible & quoted for you all the important Scriptures with up-to-date modern applications of today that are appropriate for now & have to do with the present & the lives we're living now, not re-hashing all that old pass Jewish junk. It may have been good for our fathers but it's too late for us!
         96. Why should you turn around & go back to the past, especially a churchy past & a churchy study of the Bible & all its past & ancient history? It's the University of Empty Blab! It's empty because there's nothing to it because they don't get anything out of it but chaff & rubbish, for the plain & simple reason that it doesn't affect their lives, or get them to do their job or to witness or win souls or evangelise the World or prepare people for the future.
         97. You don't have to know the churches & churchianity & church doctrine or even the Bible as long as you know the Truth & the Word of God, His Word for today & His Prophet for today & His Message & method & ministry for today. All the Bible you need to know is already in your Prophet MO!
         98. There are so many Bible stories & so much to teach out of the MO Letters, why should we teach them anything else?
         99. You're still in training! After you've learned how to take care of one yard & one house, He'll probably give you several, maybe a dozen, maybe a whole country, & you'll teach them all how to do it.
         100. In the Millennium, people will need to be taught & trained in the Truth & God's Word. We're gonna have to systematically destroy the works of the Devil & the works of Satan & all of his shit!--All of his music & literature & his so-called art & everything on Earth that's not of the Lord.
