1. WE HAVE WARNED YOU SEVERAL TIMES THAT TITHING ONLY IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO MEET YOUR FULL OBLIGATIONS AS A TRFer! The very term "TRFER" means that you are not only a tither but one who is using the Tithers Report Form which is a longer & fuller Report than those simple little ones made out only by the IRFers.
2. THIS MEANS THAT YOU COMPLETE THE TITHERS REPORT FORM, which from henceforth will be printed directly in each Magazine so you'll be without excuse for not having one. But you will certainly be without excuse for sending in a blank one with nothing but your name & address on it with the amount of your tithe!
3. TITHING ONLY DOES NOT COMPLETE YOUR OBLIGATION OR DUTIES AS A TRFer! To be a TRFer & receive the full Magazine with the whole counsel of God in the MO & DO Letters, you must fill in your TRF Report in full & not send us in a blank Report with nothing but your name & address & only the amount of your tithe! Otherwise‚ we are going to have to reclassify you & transfer you to the ranks of the mere IRFers who receive only DFO material!—
4. BECAUSE YOUR TRF REPORT OF YOUR ACTIVITIES & how much you're witnessing & litnessing & soul winning etc. is just as important as your tithe, & we need to know how you're getting along & what you are accomplishing for the Lord! We want to know your spiritual condition. You're one of our sheep of our pasture & we are your shepherds, & we want to make sure we are doing a good job of shepherding & feeding you, & that you're doing a good job as a sheep in not only grazing on our pastures, but also in producing wool & meat for the Master's use!
5. SO NO MO' BLANK TRFS! We want to see that TRF filled out in full‚ please, along with the complete full amount of your income, including the monetary value of any food stamps, welfare, free rent or other bonanzas that you receive, taking out of the sum of the entire value of this income your whole 10% tithe from the cash portion.
6. THIS IS GOD'S PLAN & GOD'S WAY, BIBLICAL, SCRIPTURAL & THE LEAST YOU CAN GET BY WITH WITHOUT GIVING 100%, if you're going to tithe & give 10% at all! It should be the whole tithe or 10% of the total that you receive in any form whatever, whether it be cash or food or free rent or whatever!—Amen? Otherwise, you are robbing God as it says in Malachi 3:8-10:
7. "WILL A MAN ROB GOD,—YEA, YE HAVE ROBBED ME! But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?—In tithes & offerings! (Therefore:) Ye are cursed with a curse: For ye have robbed Me‚ even this whole nation! Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, & prove Me now herewith‚ saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of Heaven, & pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it!" HALLELUJAH!—Want it?—Amen!
8. SO, "NO MO' BLANK TRFS!" OR YOU'LL GET NO MO' MO DO! Thank you & God bless you & continue to make you a greater blessing than ever before! Hallelujah!—In Jesus' Name, amen.
