Jews defuse Mideast nuclear race., for now
PASADENA - It was a daring
opera t ion. one for whi eh the Je wish
nation is fam ou s - and feared . On
Pentecost, Sunday, J une 7, Israeli
jets demoli shed a $260 million , 70·
megawatt nuclear reactor on the
outskirts of Baghdad. Iraq . Th e
pilots of t he American-made F·16s
and F-15 s. fly ing unmole st ed
through Jordanian and Saudi Ara-
bia" airspace to their target 600
miles away . disg uised themselves as
Jordanian airmen. spea king in
fluent Arabic.
As a result of the three-hour
"preemptive strike ," Iraq 's nuclear
bomb capa city - which Israeli
Prime Mi nister Menachem Begin
claimed was directed against Israel
- was nipped in the bud. T he
French-made plant was due to
become operational - or "h ot" in possibly three weeks time . It
would have been capable of producing eno ugh plutonium each yea r to
build a Nagasaki -ty~ bomb.
'Gods'destroyed
The deal to construct the Os irak
reactor was made in 1975 . French
Preside nt ValcryG iscard d'Estaing.
no friend of Israel. pushed for it in
reciprocation for increased access to
In q i oil.
(In terest ingly, the nam e of the
flattened rea ctor was "Osirak" probably meaning Osiris reactor or
Osiris Iraq. It was pan cf t he t'Tammuz " nuclear research com plex, 12 miles from the Iraqi capit.al , which
houses an olde r and smaller reactor
called "Isis:' also . F rench-bu ilt.
Neither it nor a S oviet -built reactor in the sa me area was des troyed.
One wonders if the first bombwou ld
have been named " Dago n" or " M olech ." )
The Israel i government ex plained its position on the raid as
follows: " For a long time. we have
followed with grave concern th e
construct ion of the Osirak nucl ear
reactor. Sou rces of unquestioned
re lia b il it y told us that it was
intended, despite statements to th e
contrary, for the production of
at omic bombs.
" T he goal for these bo mbs was
Israel. This was expli citly stated by
the Iraqi rule r. After the Iran ians
[last September] slight ly damaged
t he reactor (Iraqi President ] Saddam Hussein remarked t hat it was
pointless for the Ir an ian s to attack
the reactor because it was being
built against Israel alone ...
" T wo European gove r nme nts
[F rance and Italy) we re help ing the
Iraqi di ctator in ret urn for oil to
manu factu re nuclear weapons .
Once again we cal l on them to dcsist
from th is terrible and inh uman act.
"On no acco unt shall we permit
an enemy to develop weapons of
mass destruction against the peo ple
of Israel. We shall defen d the citizens of Israel in good time and wit h
a ll the means at our d isposal:'
Reactions aDdramifications
Worl dwide reac tion to the surprise rai d was expected: Jerusalem
was co nde mned around t he world,
eve n by the U nited States. To all the
denu nciat ions, Pr ime Mini ster Begin replied : " We are not afrai d of
any react ions in the world . I say th at
with com plete open ness."
T he Soviet U nion , of course,
implicated W ashington in the ope rarion . But , as one American jokest er
co m mented : "We know t he U.S.
was n't involved , becau se the raid
was a success."
W hile Iraq, bogged down in its
wa r with Ir an , is not expected to
ret aliate, there will ce rtain ly be
widespread ramifications to the
raid .
.
T he attack will furthe r isolate
Israel in the world , if that be possible, Islam ic states a re like ly to step
up th eir pr essure to have Israel - to
a lar ge de gr ee a c reation of the
United N ations - expelled from
t he world body (where it is already
the No . I polecat) .
T he raid also seve rely damages
~ U.S. cr edibility in th e Middle East.
It certainly sets back the attempt to
negoti ate a dipt omatic settl em ent to
the ongoing Le bano n crisis .
A lso hampered is W ashington 's
design to "wean" the Arab world
away from Moscow and bring it
close r to t he west. Arab nations,
includin g Sa udi Arabia, have
asserted that th e real th rea t to peace
in t he Middle Eas t is Israel , not the
Soviet Un ion , as the U nited States
co nten ds . T his assertion seemed
farfetch ed at first. but not so much
now, at least fro m the Arab point of
view .

about this miracle baby.
Anyone whodoesn't believethat God,

Rinks rolling; God gets cred it
WA UKESHA, Wis. - If yo u
operated a skating rink, enforced
dress codes and high standards of
conduct, closed on the Sabbath and
dou ble-tithed your profits, you'd be
sure to fail, right'? So thought deacon Martin Laufer 's compet itors in
the early ·70s.
Today, Mr.lauferand his family
operate a chain of successful skat ing
rinks and are building Wisconsin 's
largest skati ng facility.
"Back in 1969 I saw where God
makes prom ises in return for obedience ," stated Mr. Laufer . "S o I
started operating my business
according to God's law."
Mr. Laufer started tithing in
1970 and was baptized in 1973. " I
read about the unprofitable servant
and though t about the first tithe .
That's what's required - like paying the rent. So I added anot her
tithe for an offering. My accountant
just shook his head and waited for
the business to collapse."

Follow-up Bible stud ies
" We will have Wed nesday night
Bible studies for those new people
interested in God 's truth," the evangelist said . "We're looking forward
to good attendance. The 1974
appearances resulted in 40 to 45
mem bers being added to the Bodyof
Chr ist."
Wh ile in Montreal , Mr . Apa rtian
met with all the French-speaki ng
ministers , ministerial t rainees, deacons and their wives May 29. "I
answered any ques tions t hey might
have had and brought news of Mr .
Armst rong and the Work to them ."
Sa bbath morning, the atte ndance
at the Montreal chu rch broke all
previous record s.' "The Quebec
chur ches are st rong and very interested in Mr. Armstrong and the
Work ," Mr. Apar tian said.
The large atte ndance and prevalent enthu siasm cr eated a Feast of
Tabern acles atmosphere. he added .
T he evangelist said the experience
made him look forward to the coming Fall Festival in Hull . Que .,
where he will spend the last half of
the eight-day Feast. Mr . Apa rtian
plans to spend the first three days of
t he Feast in Praz-sur -Arl y, France,
leaving Friday, Oct. 16, for Hull.
Eleven m onths larcr , Mr . L aur~
er's business had doubled . "M y
accountant couldn't figure it out ,"
be said. " I told him, 'God says try
me, and I did!' My accountant is still
shak ing his head ."
Mr. Laufer credits God for the
upturn . " Today there are several
skati ng rinks:for sale in Wisconsin .
My accountant tells me 'everyone's
down but you.' And there 's only one
way to survive and profit in a recession - being on God 's side ."
Every morni ng, Mr. Laufer conducts a family Bible st udy that centers on how to apply God 's law to
business. "We do n't allow swearing ,
muscle shi rts a nd bare bellies,
drinki ng, kissing and necki ng and
othe r inappropriate behavior in our
th ree rinks," he said . " We keep our
parking lots clear of fast driving and
teenagers sitting aro und in cars ."
People phoning tbe rinks on Friday night receive a recorded message infor ming them that the rinks
are closed "fo r God's Sabbat h."
Schedu les posted in the rink.say the
same thing , and a marquee outside
reports that the rinks will open after
the Sa bbat h is over.
"We're not trying to blow our
horn up here:' Mr . Laufer noted .
" We were just an average family until we found God's law."
" I'm not saying that anybody ccn
go out and buy a skating rink and
keep the Sabbath and suddenly
makea bunch of money," Mr .laufer related. "It requi res using wisdom and getting good bus iness
advice. But you have to put God's
will and law and spirit ual things first
- then comes the business."

"There's no

te am , Orosz wasn 't ha ppy.. " I
searched for some meaning in my
life," hesaid.
Or osz. who stand s 6 feet tall and
weighs 2't5 pounds . began attending
the university in 1976 . .. I finally
decided on Ohio St ate Universit y in
Co lumbus becau se Woody Hayes
[head football coach] liked me and
said he'd give me a cha nce to tr yout
for the learn."
As a freshman, Orosz made the
Ohio State Buckeyes team . In 197 8,
as a sophomore. he played in the
S uga r Bowl against the Unive rs ity
of Alabama .

Orosz came from a strict Ca t holic
family that sent him to an all-boy s
Ca tholic high school. But he got int o
tr ouble there several times and was
finally expelled hisjunior year. " M y

missed out on a lot of fatherly gu idance." he noted .

SO he lifted weigh ts to bu ild his
body in high sc hool. When he
benc h-pressed 400 pounds, he .was
told his st rength rated i" the top
one-half percentile of all Americans
aged 15 to 25.
Afte r graduating from Maple
Heights in 1974, O rosz rode with a
motorcycle gang periodically while
work ing in a steel mill and a service
sta tion.
Aft er some time , though, he real ized he didn't like being around
gang members. " All the guys I rode
with are now eit her dead or in jail."
he stated. Perhaps he could derive
real satisfaction from playing football and st udying accounting at
Ohio State University . he thought.
But soon O rosz became dissa tisfied with not being chosen for the
star ting lineup on the Ohio Sta te
team . (He describes how he became
completely dis illusioned with college footba ll in an art icle entitled " I

Frustrating summer
Durin g the summer between his
sophomore and junior years , 1978,
Or osz obtai ned an 'official release
from Oh io Stat e. He wanted to play
for Frank C ush's Ar izona St ate Sun

Th at summer was a frustrating
one for Or osz. O hio State's coach
was fired earlier for hittin g anot her
team' s player d uring a game. Th en
head coach Cu sh of Arizon a St ate

I'd accept his new religion ."
" Well, he kept proving t hings.
could not," he said, " and I began to
take the Worldwid e C hurch of God
seriously."
O rosz went back to Ohi o St ate ,
only to sit out for a year of footbal l
because he had pre...iously obtained
a release. He continued to r t udy
accounting.
When Orosz, then a senior, asked
permission to play in 1979. Earl
Bruce, the new coach of Ohio St ate ,
said he "wa nted nothing to do with
me." comme nted O rosz. "I guess he
wanted to work with freshmen who
could cont rib ute four years to his
' regime.' "
"So I arranged some tryouts for
professional teams like the New
Orlea ns [La.] Saint s and Chicago
[III.J Bears," he eontinued.
God's calling
" For some reason I never went to
the tryouts," he remarked. "I think
God was working with me. That
November ( 1979) I accepted God's
calling and was finally baptized ."
Two month s later he was accepted
to Amb assador College in the spring
of 1991.
That same month , the state of
Oh io offered Or osz an accounting'
interns hip. " I accepted .the state's
offer and quit colle ge at Ohi o

He finished his intern ship this
past December, but relinquished a

how much I·ve rece ived since I' ve

"God's Work is where it' s all happening . Life is all abOUt becom ing

THE INVISIBLE PICTURE
C hris dropped his schoolbooks on the
table in his bedroom . He took a white
card from one of the books and glanced
at th e picture o n it. It was a picture o f a
man , and a purplish-white cross was
under- it. He qu ickly thumbtacked the

stood back proudl y and called to his

ferences with Prime Minister
Menache m Begi n of Israel
and President Anwar el-Sadat
of Egypt .
In a telev ised private conference
at the Giza Residential Palace in
Cairo, President Sadat revealed to
~e his pla?s f or a ~~rl'!. .Pe~ce

world, th e brea kdown of t he family un it ,

Within it will be a mosque, a synagogue

•
at the Giza Residential P alace ill
Cairo, President Sad at revealed to
me his plans for a World Peace
Center at the base of Mt. Sinai.
Actually there was an eruption from
Mt. Sinai some 3,500 years ago. That
eruption was a practical, workable formula for world peace. It went unheeded
then. The world has ignored it since.
Now, before man-created weapons of
mass destruction erase all human life
from the earth, that solution may preserve mankind alive.
The Egyptian president showed me
architects' renderings of his proposed
$70 million World Peace Center to be
constructed at the base of Mt . Sinai. He
invited my participation in the project.
It is a practical, workable concept for
world peace at total variance from the
altruistic, unworkable plans the nations
have been trying-the Kellogg Peace
Treaty, the League of Nations, the
United Nations and the World Court of
International Justice.
These experiments in impractical idealism , seeking peace while the nations
pursue the CAUSE that produces war,
have led to dismal failure.
There is an underlying basic CAUSE of
all the world's ills-its unsolvable problems, evils and wars! And that CAUSE is a
WAY OF LIFE!
I repeat again and again, there are two
foundational ways or philosophies of
life, broadly speaking. They travel in
diametrically opposite directions. I call
one the way of "GIVE," the other the way
of "GET." I use the word "GIVE" to
designate outflowing love-concern for
the good and welfare of others equal to
self-concern-the way of cooperation,
helping, serving, giving, sharing. It is
practical!
But the world has lived by the incentive
of "GET"-self-centeredness, vanity,
covetousness, envy and jealousy, hostile
competition leading to strife, violence
and war. This "GET" urge of human
HERBERT
W
ARMSTRONG
nature is impractical-the evil spiritual
attitude that has caused every discontent, unhappiness, pain and anguish
resulting from this world 's myriad evils!
Our problems and troubles are spiritual in nature, but our minds, incentives
and concepts are physical and material.
Sure, we can send men to the moon and
back-we can explore Saturn and Jupiter
at fairly close range, and receive photographs of the Martian surface from
unmanned spacecraft-we can produce
computers and the most intricate mechanical aids. BUT WE CAN'T SOLVE OUR
PROBLEMS or eliminate our evils!
What "exploded" from Mt. Sinai
some 3,500 years ago was a practical,
workable WORLD PEACE formula. It was
delivered on tablets of stone by Him
whom the three nations represented at
the Camp David talks regard as their
Creator and their God (Allah in Arabic).
It was presented to mankind through
Moses, whom the major religions of all
three nations regard as a pr ophet. It was
the Ten Commandments, the first four
of which convey the four broad principles of love outflowing toward our Maker , the last six the principles of love
toward human neighbor. In other words ,
the life-philosophy of "GIVE" instead of
u
GET ."
But mankind has chosen and been
actuated by the "GET" inceritive! Result? Amid material advancement phenomenal and awesome , we have suffered
spiritual regression . Man has wreaked
on his world illiteracy, abject poverty,
millions living in filth and squalor, thousands dying of st arvation. And even
among the aflluent, educated ignorance
of the true values, discontent, immorality , escalating crime and violence, the
' hoH . . J
.
J ..
t.: 1I 6 I U U ;'
hostility has sparked wars down through
the stream of time. Adjacent to the
peace complex will be built a modern
resort hotel.
Its presence at the -very base of Mt.
Sinai envisions the "GIVE" principle for
PEACE, rather than that of "GET."
True-and I think President Sadat
realizes this-his $70 million World
Peace Center will not , of itself, bring
this war -weary world its final peace . It
can only point the way.
World peace shall require a change of
motivation, a giving up of things coveted. A self-centered humanity will not
be willing, of its own volition, to make
this sacrifice. It will have to be done TO
us. The super-powered unseen "Strong
Hand from Someplace" shall have to
intervene in supreme transcendent
power and compel a selfish humanity to
enjoy peace, happiness and universal
ABUNDANCE!
Our agreeing or disagreeing won't
matter. It is as SURE as the rising and
setting of tomorrow's sun . I am merely a
voice in the wilderness of 20th -century
confusion crying out with the AN NOUNCEMENT of the world 's sole and sure
hope .
Both Mr . Begin and Mr . Sadat have
been willing to "GIVE" in ways that
required vision, courage and great risks
both personally and politically. I know
them both-have had very recent personal conferences with both. The back ground leading to these unique and
historic recent moves toward peace form
an exceedingly dramatic and intriguing
story. More of this on this same page
one week from today.

tr avel 135 miles using only a gallon ..
and a half of fuel. Mr . Gaelic, a
ret ired engineer, lives in a sparsely
populated area in northern New
Zealand. To cu t costs in travelingto
the Whangarei church, he designed
and built a charcoal burner for his
car, a Mor ris 1800.
Mr . Gaelic produces the charcoal
used in the car by burning black
wattle trees , which produce th e best
charcoal available to him .
He roasts logs at a temperature of
600 degrees. Twen ty hours later the
logs are larg e lumps of charcoal. The
charcoal is th en crushed and put
into the burn er fitted on th e back of
the car .
Before leaving on a trip, ir's a simpie job to light the burner, he said . A
switch on the dashboard allows him
to usc gasoline, charcoaJ or a mixture of both .
Mr . Gaelic finds that charcoal is
best for normal driving. Hill climbing or sudden acceleration requires
a bit of gasol ine . " Driving on half
charcoal and half petrol [gasolin e )
feels almost the same as using pure
petrol ," he noted .
The burner holds enough charcoal to tak e him 100 miles if no gasoline is used . Us ing part charcoal
and part gasoline. he can go between
80 and 90 miles on a gallon of gasoline.
Drivin g such a car does have its
dr awbacks though . " Traffi c officers
have pulled me over to ask what I
have on the back of the car ." said
M r. Gae lic. "But it's all worth it as
long as it ge~ me to church!"

More than 80 new peop le heard

Many positive comments were
received concerning the lectures.
according 10 the Miami pastor. " We
had one interesting visitor in the
form of a local Republ ican party
official," he said . "He was particularl y interested in the prophetic part
of the Bible lectures."
Mr . Kersha , reported that he felt
the saturation of both The Plain

Miam i metropolitan area was good,
as a new sstand program there

added, " we hope to incr ease the circu lation ."
Several of the new people attending the lect ur es have requ ested

PASADENA - Reports Ircm
Guy Ames , regional director in the
Philippines, tell of hardships faced
by members in the southern island
of Mindanao.
Torrential rains starting last
December bro ught Flooding and
devastation. Brethren lost crops and
property, but none were killed .
Flood waters in some areas rose to
above rooftop level for days at a
time . Roads were washed out.
Mr . Ames visited theareain midMa rch, negot iating dange rous and
slippery mud by jeep, and crossing
swollen-rivers on a native boat (banka) to reach brethren in north ern
Davao and Ag usan provinces. Food
supp lies are short , but all are in high
spirits.
Churches in the northern island
of Luzon sent clothing and money to
their brethren in the beleaguered
provinces .
Argentine brethren cooperate
On the way to Sabbath services
some brethren in northern Davao
were caught in crossfire between
government and rebe l forces . T hey
were shaken, but un hurt.
Local elder "Mario Dulguime
wrote of another incident of Goo's
intervention:
" O n April I, brethren were witnesses to the divine protection of
God . The mini ng site where they
were panning gold was fired upon by
the rebels , hitting a policeman and
three CHDF (Civilian Hom e
Defense Force) men . Stray bullet s
killed a woma n and seriously
injured anot her .
" Mo ments before one of th e
CHDF men was relied by a bullet ,
Church member Ger onimo Esparagosa was talking with him . Had it
not been for the t imely arrival of
another member, Benito Parbo , who
took hold of Esparagosa's hand and
forced him to leave, he could have
been hit too.
"Upon heari ng the guns hot, the
other bret hren dived to the ground
and took cover among th e huge

BU ENOS AIRES. Argentina La Pura Verdad (Spani sh Plain
Truth) circulation in thi s country
increased 433 percent since Janu. ar y, 1980, accord ing to evangelist
Leon Walker, regional director of
God 's Work in Spanis h-speak ing
countries. .
Mr . Walker a ttr i bu ted the
increase to " ext ra effort " by brethren here in a sustai ned PV advertising campaign. Mo re than 1,500
new subscribers were added in six
weeks thr ough the PV cardholder
program .
The evangeli st noted that with
the backing of congregat ions in
Bahia Blanca and Ezeiza, pastor
Luis C havez coordinated placing
nearl y 200 Pura Verdad cardholders March 19 to 21 with members
Jose Luis Bastias, RobertoCanc1ini.
Carlos Espi noza, Rumi lio Godoy
and Manuel Sepu lveda.
Working under advice and guidelines from Mr . Walker and PVpromotional direc tor Keith Speaks in
Pasaden a. the six members began
placing the cardholders, or tarjeteros ali they arecalled, in zona centrica. where train and subway termi nals, bus stations , tax i stands and a
major airport dr aw milli ons of
people daily.
Superma rket s, dry cleaners ,
bookstores. pharmacies and newsstands received many cardholders.
Ma ny were placed next to train ticket windows and public telephones.
More than a t housand cards were
distri buted in one day at one cardholder, where Mr . Canclini commented that " people took cards out
almost without interruption."
Some of the people involved in
the project traveled 500 to 600 miles
at the ir own expense to participate,

Unfort unately , our ads followed

At the same time as Mr . Armstrong's ads appear, smaller advertisements designed to att ract readers of Th ~ Plain Truth are being

TERRE HAU TE, Ind . - Interest in The Plain Truth is rising, as
illustr ated by Steve Nutzman, pastor of the church here .
Mr. Nut zman said that a gasoline
station owne r told one of th e Plain
Truth newssta nd volunteers an
experie nce involving one of his
friends and t he PT.
" W hile sto c ki ng t he new sstand . .. the stat ion owner told him
[th e newsstand voluntee r] abo ut a
customer who drove up for gas, and
while the stat ion atte ndant serviced
his ca r (he ) noticed the Plain Tru th
rack in the office," related Mr.
Nutzman .
" He went in, took a magazine, sat
down and becam e totally absorbed .
Soon the owner told the man that his
ca r was ready to go, but not icing th e
customer 's preoccupation with The
Plain Truth . offered to d rive his car
out of the pump area : '
Co ntinuing, Mr . N utz man said ,
"The man readi ly agre ed and continued to devour the magaz ine .
Finally, having read every article in
The Plain Truth. he left the office
and drove off."
Thi s was unu sual, Mr. Nutzrnan
pointed out , because th e cust omer
had a 30-yea r frie nds hip with the
stat ion owner, and the owner said
" he had m' lI~r seen him rea d a magazine, newspaper or anything else!"
Mr. Nut zman said that the stat ion
owner concluded that The Plain
Truth must be an unusu ally int eresting magazine.
