 With
this issue we begin our 13th. year of publication. What began as
an effort to reach people in our locality, has spread to most of
the United States, and to several other countries. We are
constantly curbing our mailing list, hoping to send only to
those who really want our material, but we print 6,450 copies
per month. There is nothing BIG about this, but a steady mail
response indicates the teaching is well received and
appreciated, for which we are thankful.
PLAIN
TALK is a part of the teaching program of the Oaks-West church
of Christ, Burnet, and as such is wholly supported by this
congregation. All unsigned articles are written by Robert F.
Turner. The local evangelist for Oaks-West, Dan S. Shipley,
writes one article per month, and occasionally we publish a
guest article; but no general solicitation for material is made.
Such would call for far greater editorial responsibility than we
have time to exercise.
Our
articles are usually directed toward members of the body of
Christ; seeking to establish better attitudes, more perfect
knowledge, and greater zeal for the accomplishment of the Lord’s
work. (Consider those to whom the greater part of the New
Testament is addressed.) But we try to write in a way that will
be readable and helpful to the non-member as well. We are aware
of our inadequacies, and beg a charitable reading and judgment.
Your questions, comments, and

constructive criticisms are
appreciated. Equal- space discussion of points on which we differ
may be arranged, subject to our elder’s judgment of propriety.
PLAIN
TALK will be sent, free of charge, to all who request it. We do
not solicit church directories or other “blanket” mailing
lists; and remove from our list those who move and fail to
notify us of address change. Plain Talk is printed by Bob Craig,
of Austin, Texas. Oaks-West members slip-sheet, staple, and mail
it.
IN THIS ISSUE
We
begin a series of two-page articles, designed to explore some
subjects in greater detail than is possible with our earlier
format.
Material
for the “Non-Prophet” article on Jehovah’s Witnesses (?)
was obtained from Maurice Barnett, 3928 W. Colter, Phoenix,
Ariz. 85019. If you wish more, write to him.
THE BOOK, “STUFF ABOUT THINGS” which
we announced many months back, is still tied up at the printers.
We are assured it will soon be available. When we have hard
proof of this, we will let you know how to obtain it.
