A Personal Letter From Garner Ted Armstrong
November 24, 1967
Dear Friend and PLAIN TRUTH Subscriber:
This is the first time I have ever written a personal
letter to our subscribers to The PLAIN TRUTH. But it's for a very
special reason! I am excited about what I feel will be a
thoroughly enjoyable, instructive, helpful, sometimes amusing, and
always really INTERESTING gift for you -- something NEVER BEFORE
OFFERED -- and, of course, IT'S FREE! -- at no cost, whatever to
you.
Thousands of you, when you heard The WORLD TOMORROW for
the first time, were a little perplexed.
"Who," you wondered, "is HERBERT Armstrong -- if this is
Garner Ted Armstrong doing the speaking? Are they brothers?
Father and son? Cousins?"
Some have written to ask if my father, Mr. Herbert W.
Armstrong, was dead. Others thought I was my father, and my father
was my son! I have always tried to mention, from time to time, our
relationship so listeners would understand why I asked them to
write to "Herbert W. Armstrong" instead of to me, personally. But
this is the first time I've ever written to you about it. And the
exciting, special offer I have for you is the reason.
But first, I think it's time I answered some questions
thousands have been asking -- and wondering about. For years my
father has been answering the questions so many ask, concerning who
he is, whether this is a denominational religious Work, and if so
which -- how it is financed -- who is back of it -- HOW we can
conduct the world's most powerful broadcast -- more than 45 MILLION
watts of radio power weekly -- and never ask for contributions --
NEVER charge for or put a price on ANYTHING. But since I have been
doing most of the speaking on The WORLD TOMORROW program, people
are asking: "Who are YOU? Did your father just put you on the air,
to preach his message for him?"
And so I want to take space to tell you just how I, Garner
Ted Armstrong, happened to be speaking on the air, yet always
giving listeners the mailing address of Herbert W. Armstrong, my
