James & Tess Arendt
ANOTHER MATTER WHICH WE MUST MENTION amongst the lies which have been circulated about us is the now much-publicized and notorious forgery, known as the "Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship Letter". This was a complete fraud disclaimed utterly by Inter-Varsity, whose lawyers have denied that Inter-Varsity had anything to do with it, but that it was written by a girl student at one of the colleges where they operate, but a student who was not even a member of Inter-Varsity!
NEVERTHELESS, THIS GIRL FORGED THE LETTER and signed it "Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship" and sent it to Duane Pederson's "Hollywood Free Paper" who freely and widely published it, not only without authorization from Inter-Varsity, but without even checking with Inter-Varsity to see if the letter was authentic! As it turned out, it was an absolute criminal forgery for which the girl could have been charged but was not, and which Inter-Varsity had totally denied being responsible for!
IT CONTAINED VICIOUS DEMONICALLY INSPIRED AND RIDICULOUS LIES conjured up by an apparently twisted mind, and such far-fetched charges that anyone in their right mind should plainly have seen that it was the figment of someone's weird and far-out demented imagination! Just the same, the "Hollywood Free Paper" gladly published it in an attempt to discredit us, which brought immediate legal action from us and an encounter with our lawyers, so that they were compelled to apologize, print a retraction, print an official letter from Inter-Varsity's lawyers denying it and even giving us some space for rebuttal, for which we agreed to take them off the hook of a sure libel suit!
BUT STILL THIS LIBELOUS, INSANE AND CRIMINAL FORGERY CONTINUES TO BE PUBLISHED REPEATEDLY BY OUR ENEMIES AROUND THE WORLD in the good name of Inter-Varsity as an authentic condemnation of us by this reputed Christian youth organization! It is impossible to catch up with all the individual publishers of this criminal forgery or to file enough libel suits to stop them all, as they don't seem to care about its authenticity or Inter-Varsity's denial of it or the "Free Paper's" later apology for and retraction of it! Like the Devil himself, it doesn't seem to matter to these other so-called Christians and so-called Christian publications and organizations that this letter was a lie and a forgery--they just keep publishing it and repeating the lie!
LIKE THE MAN WHO SAID, "MY MIND IS MADE UP!--DON'T CONFUSE ME WITH THE FACTS!"--SOME PEOPLE STILL PREFER TO BELIEVE THE LIES they want to believe rather than the truth!--Like the almost equally now-notorious Kent Philpott letter published by the same so-called "Free Paper" and for which they were also later obliged to disclaim responsibility for, but which is still receiving wide circulation and repeated publication by our enemies. Although its authorship by a supposed Jesus People leader of Northern California was genuine, its content was again the most vicious and lying criminal charges against us, which were complete falsehoods!
THIS SO-CALLED CHRISTIAN AND FORMER FRIEND OF ONE OF OUR NEW MEMBERS WAS APPARENTLY SO FURIOUS AND JEALOUS OVER THE JOINING OF HIS FORMERLY HIGHLY-RESPECTED FRIEND that he visited two of our Colonies only to cause trouble and storming in and out in a rage, looking only for whatever evil he hoped to find, whether real or imagined, so he could use it against us! Finding none, he concocted this impure fabrication apparently either from hearsay or his own evil imagination! How can people who do not even know us write so much evil about us!
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER SAD COMMENTARY ON THE DECADENCE OF CHRISTIAN CHARACTER AMONGST THE CHURCH-ORIENTED, and another proof that people just believe what they want to believe regardless of whether it's true or not or that all the outstanding evidence is to the contrary--like the lie of Evolution, and the derogatory misinformation published about us repeatedly by such writers as Ed Plowman of "Christianity Today" and Enroth, Ericson, and Peters of Westmont College, as well as a good many other so-called Christian writers!
ODDLY ENOUGH, IT SEEMS TO BE THE CLOSED-MINDED CHURCH-ORIENTED AND OBVIOUSLY BIGOTED PHARISEES OF THE CHURCHES, such as religious writers, editors and reporters of various religious and non-religious publications who are so enraged with jealousy as to so gnash upon us with their misguided literary teeth! The vast majority of journalists, reporters, and editors and news media from newspapers and magazines to radio and TV who have personally visited us and spent a great deal of time with us, even actually living in our Colonies for several days or as much as a week or two at a time, these who have really investigated with a sincere, open and unchurch-prejudiced mind and have really gotten to know us personally and well, these factual reporters of the world have given us the fairest coverage, done the most honest reporting and written some of the most glowing commendations of the true good that they found in our Colonies! Who are you going to believe?--The jealous Temple Pharisees of the kind who crucified Jesus, or the honest secular judges of the System who, like Pilate, have said:
"WHAT EVIL HATH HE DONE?... I find no fault in Him at all.... Ye have brought this Man unto me as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined Him before you, have found no fault in this Man touching those things whereof ye accuse Him!--No, nor yet Herod!--.... And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release Him, ... for he knew that the Chief Priests had delivered Him for envy!"
SO HERE IS AN HONEST ANSWER AND APPRAISEMENT FROM THE MOUTH OF A MAN OF THE WORLD who himself was not too interested in religious matters and who, in his wise judgment, knew that it was only in jealousy that these religious leaders sought to crucify Jesus! What a picture of this same situation today, in which the dying Church System has almost totally failed to reach the lost youth of this generation, but these religious leaders are absolutely green with envy and homicidal jealousy over phenomenal success with the same in having started a worldwide youth Revolution for Jesus outside of their sanctum sanctorums and for which they are now so furious they wish to destroy us! This is the real reason for all this religious criticism!
TIME AND SPACE WOULD FAIL US TO DEAL WITH ALL THE OTHER ATTACKS which have been made upon us falsely and unjustly, but we have felt it necessary here to refute those which have been the most common and the lowest and the most widespread. We think you should know the truth, for your own sake, so you yourself can make a fair judgment of these things and not from mere hearsay and lies of our enemies! It's up to you to make your own decision and we're only asking you to be fair, honest and sincerely knowledgeable of the true facts at hand.
THE SCRIPTURE SAITH: "HE THAT ANSWERETH A MATTER BEFORE HE HEARETH IT, IT IS A FOLLY AND SHAME UNTO HIM!"--and "Judge not that ye be not judged, for with what measure ye mete it out, it shall be meted unto you again!"--And if ye receive not the truth, we're to shake off the dust of our feet against you, like Sodom and Gomorrah!
WE REGRET TO HAVE HAD TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS, but even Jesus and Paul and Martin Luther and many other men of God have occasionally been forced to reply to the false charges of their enemies in order to set the record straight, and to warn the wicked of his wicked way, and to deliver our own souls from the blood of those who may be deceived thereby! So now you know!
YOU MAY HEAR MANY OTHER LIES ABOUT US, BUT JUST CONSIDER THE SOURCE! Look who's telling them, and then you'll understand why! "And the Serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the Woman (the true Church), that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood!" But, thank God, "the earth helped the Woman... and swallowed up the flood which the Dragon cast out of his mouth! And the Dragon was wroth with the Woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the Testimony of Jesus Christ."--It's the same old Devil attacking God's saints!
WHY DON'T YOU COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF? The proof of the pudding is in the tasting, and one picture's worth a thousand words! The only way to know for sure is to visit us with an open mind and to talk to us face to face. Or if this is impossible for you, may we suggest that you read our magazine, "The New Nation News", which is published periodically and available for a donation and containing all the latest news from all our Colonies!--Or, as already suggested, you may want to enclose a minimum donation of 10 pence or 25 cents per copy for each of the latest "MO Booklets", the hitherto highly-secret and only privately published but now world-famous "MO Letters", which our enemies have been selling without our permission at ten dollars per letter, thus violating the copyright laws and the laws protecting the authors of private papers some of which they have stolen from us! So you're really getting a bargain!--But watch out!--Remember, they are copyrighted and must not be reprinted nor republished in any form or portion without written permission from us! We're about to sue FreeCOG for this, another violation of our rights by these enemies and an example of their criminal and illegal operations!
OR IF YOU WISH A COPY OF THE ACTUAL LESSONS AND BIBLE STUDIES WE TEACH IN OUR CLASSES IN OUR COLONIES, in order to know the real unvarnished truth about us and what we believe, how we operate, our message and method and organization and what our plans are for the future, as well as our interpretation and explanation of the complicated Bible prophecies and when, where, and how we think they'll soon be fulfilled, and how this may affect you and your children and us and your nation and your economy and the future of the world in general--if you'd like to know all this, may we suggest you make a small donation of at least three dollars for the first volume just now off the press, and be the proud owner of some of these valuable and incomparable genuine first editions of which there'll be more to come, God willing.
OR IF YOU'D LIKE COPIES OF EACH AND ALL OF THESE our publications--such as the "MO Letters", the magazine, and the books that are already off the press, the Lessons, and/or one of Grandmother's famous books, "Streams that Never Run Dry" or "The Hem of His Garment", her life story, now read by millions, may we suggest that you simply request the whole lot of all of these presently available publications for a minimum gift of only ten dollars plus 25 cents per MO Letter that you would like to receive!
OR IF YOU NOT ONLY REALLY WANT ALL THESE LATEST PUBLICATIONS HOT OFF THE PRESS AND TO BE PUT ON OUR MAILING LIST for notification of those yet to come and any other news we may have for you, but you also like us so much that you not only want to help us with all of the expenses of publishing and mailing these items to you, but also to assist in the great work we're doing for the Lord in delivering the youth of this generation and saving them with the Love of God, why don't you just throw in a little extra while you're at it, like maybe fifty or a hundred, and we'll be very grateful and God will bless you and keep you and make you a great blessing for your eternal investment reaping everlasting dividends in immortal souls! Amen? Hallelujah!
EVEN IF YOU'RE ONE OF OUR BELOVED ENEMIES, I'M SURE YOU'LL WANT TO BE KEPT WELL-INFORMED ON ALL OF OUR TERRIBLE ACTIVITIES, so don't miss this tremendous opportunity to get all the inside dope!--Oops!--I mean information! (Watch what they do with that one!) We used to give nearly everything away free of charge, but our printing bills and expenses are getting so high we found we can no longer afford it ourselves, so we're merely asking you to please help share those costs with us and help us all you can. Thanks, and God bless you!
MANY OF YOU HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED SOME OF THESE BECAUSE OF YOUR ALREADY LONG-STANDING FRIENDSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP IN OUR MINISTRY. Whatever you do not have, you may therefore request accordingly. Please make your checks or money orders payable to "The Children of God", and send them with your specified requests for which publications to either "Children of God Publications", P.O. Box 31, London WC2E 7LX England--or mail to the same at G.P.O. Box 3141, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00936, U.S.A. Those making your gifts to London kindly adjust them in British pounds at the current exchange rate of approximately two-and-a-half dollars to the pound. In other words, you who are donating in British pounds will be giving a minimum of about four pounds for the entire lot of publications mentioned above. Thanks for your help!
ANOTHER THING WE'D LIKE TO SUGGEST FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT and the benefit of your children or any other friends and loved ones for whom you're concerned, is that we have inside information on impending trouble coming in the United States, probably this Election year and certainly not long after, which you may wish to escape by taking at least a temporary vacation in some other part of the world or helping your children take a world tour this year, as many other parents are, even parents of the world!
THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE ORGANIZING A TRAVEL AGENCY WHICH WILL BE ABLE TO SECURE YOU EXTREMELY LOW FARES of as little as about two hundred dollars or less per round trip to Europe with guided tours of our Colonies for not a great deal more. So if you really want to see what's happening in other parts of the world, and get out of the dangerous U.S.A. for a while this year or for the duration or forever, we suggest you contact us for rates and information and guidance. We can tell you how to live abroad as I am living, for less than a thousand dollars a year, or you can support one of your missionary children overseas for the same! Of course, your accommodations may not have running water or an inside toilet or more than two meals a day, like mine, and you may have to do a lot of walking, but you sure couldn't live any cheaper! Some people say I live at the Statler-Hilton and buy my wife mink coats, but these are just lies like the rest of them! They even say I'm cruising the Mediterranean with my secretary, but since our clothes are donated and our savings limited, we really can't afford it!
HOWEVER, IF YOU JUST CAN'T GET AWAY, MAY WE SUGGEST THAT YOU PREPARE FOR THE COMING EMERGENCY BY WRITING IN FOR OUR LITTLE LESSON ON "EMERGENCY SURVIVAL" and enclose a small donation to cover the cost. That's what I really started out to tell you in this letter, because I'm concerned about you, but I wound up telling you how the Lord has helped us and His Work to survive instead! As this letter is already too long and I don't think you could stand much more right now and I'm a little weary of writing it myself, I think we'd better save the rest for later!
SUFFICE IT TO SAY, JUST IN CASE I DON'T SURVIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEND IT TO YOU, or the emergency should occur before you have a chance to request it, may we suggest that you immediately do at least following to prepare for it: Be sure you have some kind of place in the country that's well stocked with dried and canned foods, such as grains, beans, flour, sugar, and other staples, and its own independent supply of water, heat and light which are not dependent on electricity or other outside means of pressure or power!
YOU'D BETTER ALSO HAVE SOME MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE, POWERED BY SOMETHING OTHER THAN GASOLINE, DIESEL OR BOTTLED GAS, because these will be in short supply or rationed or even utterly unavailable. Buy yourself and the family some bicycles, or a Stanley Steamer that runs on wood, or one of those ancient, but honorable, hay-burners, known as a horse and wagon! You should have enough gas left to get to your hideaway, so keep your tank always full so you'll be prepared for your getaway with the family at a moment's notice!
OF COURSE, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE YOUR CAR ANYWAY, as the roads may be blocked or destroyed and the refugee traffic too jammed to make it! So you'd better keep those bicycles in shape, or those horses in condition, so you can hit out across country over rough terrain or back country roads if you have to, to get there!--Which means you'll need a very good country or state map which has all the smallest details of the smallest county roads, railroads, rivers, streams, bridges, hills, mountains, and other necessary landmarks to help you find your way across country off the main highways even if you have to go by foot! Because the main roads may either be restricted to military traffic only, or controlled by saboteurs who'll be wrecking the country, or the military, who'll be trying to save it, and unfit for ordinary use, destroyed, blocked, or jammed!
REMEMBER HOW THE BLACK-OUT TOTALLY PARALYZED NEW YORK CITY and the Northeast a few years ago! Don't get caught with your lights out like they did and with no food or water or any way or plan to flee the danger spots, such as the big cities! Be prepared! It is definitely going to happen soon, so you might as well get ready for it! It is said that even now your enemies have an anti-magnetic-field device which can totally paralyze all electrical fields, the sources of your electric power, such as generators and even electric motors, which could leave you totally without electricity, power, transportation water, etc., if used on your area, as some think it was used experimentally on New York and caused the famous Blackout! Think what that could do to the country!--Plus all the sudden sabotage of most major utility, transportation, and military installations!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN ATOMIC WAR OR AN EARTHQUAKE to destroy your country! Your enemies could do it at a moment's notice if it suited their purpose, and unofficially, so you wouldn't know who was to blame, so how could you retaliate, or fight a guerrilla war!
DON'T THINK THAT SUCH DOWNTOWN GUERRILLA WARFARE CANNOT HAPPEN IN YOUR COUNTRY, like it's happened in Vietnam, Ireland, and other places, when aided, directed, and supplied by a powerful, outside anonymous enemy! It is the latest kind of civilian warfare to carry it home where it hurts and has proven its devastating effectiveness in such bombed-out cities as Belfast!
BESIDES THIS, THEY EVEN HAVE SMALL STRATEGIC WEAPONS NOW for use in civil warfare, such as small atom bombs which can be placed in an attaché case and left in a downtown building to explode later with enough power to level an entire block or more!--And who's going to know who's to blame? Belfast seldom knew which side was doing the bombing, even on that small a scale! So you can no longer count on any massive retaliation to save you, as you won't know who to shoot at!
OF COURSE, THEY'LL PROBABLY ROUND UP ALL THE POOR LITTLE HIPPIES AND BLAME IT ON THEM AS THE RED, RED RADICALS OF REVOLUTION! But if they pick up everybody with long hair under twenty-five and put them in those concentration camps they already have prepared for them, like Hitler did the Jews and the U.S. did the Japanese, they're bound to make a few mistakes in rounding up all the youth as enemies of the State, or potential or suspected enemies, and they might even happen to get your dear little sheltered darlings--or maybe even you!
SO IF I WERE YOU, I'D TRY NOT TO BE AROUND where they could find me or my family or blame it on us! How much better to get out in the country and away from it all if you can, and if you're ready, as we've warned you! If your family alone can't afford such a place, or even the poorest mountain cabin or bare piece of ground to camp on that has a little water, such as a pond, well, spring, stream, lake or otherwise, and far enough away to be out of trouble until it's over, why don't you go together with another family or two or more and chip in on a place jointly for a sanctuary a lot safer than your church building, which will be useless at such a time as this!
IN FACT, WE KNOW OF QUITE A FEW CHURCHES WHO THEMSELVES HAVE ALREADY GONE TOGETHER AND DONE THIS VERY THING, BUYING A CAMPGROUND out in the woods or the mountains away from it all to be used not only for camps, conventions, and recreation, but also for a refuge and retirement community in case of disaster, emergency, or old age! How much more useful would such a place be during such a time than all your fancy church buildings put together!
OF COURSE, IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT IN TIME, YOU MIGHT ALL TRY STOCKING YOUR CHURCH building with non-perishable foods, use the Baptistery for drinking water (better keep it full!), your candles for light, and you can always chop up those pretty pews and pulpit to build a wood fire in the middle of the floor, or furnace for warmth and cooking! Don't forget to open the belfry to let the smoke out!--And be sure everybody has a sleeping bag for those hard, cold floors, unless your church is rich enough to have padded pews and wall-to-wall carpeting!
IF ALL ELSE FAILS, AND YOU CAN'T DO ANY OF THESE, YOU COULD AT LEAST MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN BASEMENT STOCKED full of food and firewood, so you won't have to chop up the furniture, and some kind of a fireplace or charcoal grill to heat and cook on that's not run by gas or electricity, and non-perishable foods which won't rot before you can eat them when the deepfreeze goes off, and keep all your bathtubs and water-tanks filled for drinking water only!My name is James Arendt. I was raised in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, served in the USAF from 1970 to 1974, and became a full-time missionary for Christ living 40 years in Japan, 3.5 years in Russia, and a few months in other countries such as Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, South Korea, Taiwan and mainland China where I also served the King of Kings, Jesus, as an Ambassador for His Kingdom.

If you like this website, you can show your appreciation by sending me a gift toward my support. My wife Tess and I moved from the island of Guam USA in June 2023 to the city of Allen in the province of Northern Samar, one of the poorer provinces in the Philippines. My only work is maintaining my websites, Deep Truths, and James Japan which costs me $300 per year now. And Tess is ministering to the local people giving them regular Bible Studies in three groups, children, teenagers and adults.
You may like my James Japan site as well because it covers subjects that are not covered in Deep Truths such as things like the Climate Change Hoax and the COVID-19 death-jabs.
