ASLEEP ON A BOMB! - Garner Ted Armstrong - March 1977

Garner Ted Armstrong

Every night the whole world goes to sleep aboard a huge multimegaton bomb - fully capable of exterminating every man, woman and child from the face of this earth. Yet most people-focusing only on their own day-to-day concerns and how to eke out a "good life" in the midst of economic uncertainty - seem oblivious to the awesome and frightening significance of nuclear proliferation. During the Korean War, I was stationed on a U.S. naval aircraft carrier just offshore Korea. On board were huge "blockbuster"-type bombs weighing up to 2,000 pounds. I used to help lower them into their bins with pulleys. Between loadings we would sometimes take time out for a little catnap. I would actually stretch myself out on the back of one of those great big bombs and go serenely off to sleep. After all, it didn't have a fuse in it. I felt just about as safe as if I'd been in my bunk. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
