April 25th I sent you the most difficult and painful announcement I have ever had to make in a Co-Worker letter. Since then certain newspapers, publications and broadcasts have made scurrilous, deceptive and misleading attacks on the Work of God, filled with fallacious, distorted, exaggerated and fa ...

I have just returned from a most eventful and successful six weeks' trip (which I had expected to last only three weeks) to find that rumors have reached the press concerning the absence of my son, Garner Ted Armstrong, with many false rumors and baseless conjectures. Also many letters from you Co ...

I am writing while our plane is being refueled at Teheran, Iran (which is Persia). We are en route from Colombo, Ceylon, to Israel. Now our engines are starting up. I will have to fold my typewriter back up into its place until we are airborne. In Ceylon, while we were on their very super-powerful r ...

The shortest month of the year is ending. This most important Work on earth is driving ahead faster than ever. The first telecast on the number one independent TV station in the U.S. — WOR-TV, New York, brought a very fine response — 786 requests for The PLAIN TRUTH and literature offered. The lates ...

The great WORK OF GOD, beginning January 7, entered a new — and its last — phase. Suddenly the Work has been catapulted onto a new and higher plane. Our Commission is to preach and publish Christ's GOOD NEWS (gospel) into all the world as a witness (Mat. 24:14). We have been getting that job done ...

Here we are at the SHORTEST month of the year. That makes it financially difficult, for we have a FULL MONTH'S bills to meet, but fewer days for receiving tithes and offerings — though we DO get one extra DAY this February, since it is another leap year. Giant doors are opening before us now, it s ...

I'm sorry to say I have been quite ill, since Friday, December 31. Had temperature just slightly under 104, which is very serious at my age. God has been with me, and each day the temperature has subsided, until this morning it is normal. However the feeling of influenza is still in my body and he ...

What an eventful year this has been! A year ago I wrote our family of Co-Workers that during this year of 1971, AT LAST we were to get this vital end-time Message into JAPAN. It was the one important nation we had not yet reached. Well, we DID get the Work started in Japan. It is only a start — but ...

AT LAST! And this time IT'S OFFICIAL! The ground breaking ceremony for construction of the superb HOUSE FOR GOD at His present earthly Headquarters, here on the Pasadena campus, is set definitely for Friday, January 14th next, 1972! That will be the second day of the annual Ministers' Conference ...

   I had hoped it would not be necessary to send you a mid-December letter this year. But it has become URGENTLY necessary! As I wrote you two weeks ago, the MOST IMPORTANT WORK ON EARTH is in its most difficult month — financially — of the year. Christmas shopping apparently is provi ...

Many leading economists, bankers, government experts now predict a gradual but real upturn in the United States economy during the year ahead. Advance reports say: "Christmas Shopping Biggest. Ever!" But what if some world famous scientist gained banner headlines with the sensational predi ...

The news headlines are "CHRISTMAS SHOPPING BIGGEST EVER!" Already there are reports that merchants are being caught short — Christmas shopping is so much bigger than they anticipated, they didn't stock enough goods! People are beginning to SPEND MORE FREELY! ...in the Christmas shopping ...

or the first time in my life, I am en route to a Communist country, behind the "Iron Curtain." I am going to Bucharest, Romania, as a guest of the country, at the personal invitation of President Nicolae Ceausescu. I am looking forward to this visit with considerable interest, since I have ...

I have just returned from visiting the Feast sites again this year. A short time ago I sent a general letter to the Church membership explaining the serious need for Garner Ted Armstrong to be allowed a leave of absence by reason of ill health — not physical, but frayed nerves and excessive high ten ...
