WHY THIS ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL ISSUE
By all the criteria of organizational and ínstitutional experience,
this work simply could never have happened.
Every phase of this globe-girdling work has been something
altogether unique - a
first -
the blazing of a new trail.
• The
PLAIN TRUTH magazine is utterly UNIQUE in the publishing
field.
• Garner Ted Armstrong, viewed and heard by millions on both
television and radio
daily,
is entirely UNtaue in broadcasting.
• Ambassador College is astonishingly UNtOUE among institu–
tions of higher learning .
• And the Worldwide Church of God, behind these global enter–
prises, is altogether UNIOUE on the earth - practicing, as it does, the
revealed
ways
of the living Creator God, and for the first time in
18Y2
centuries, thundering his all-important message over all continents of
the earth .
But
how
did it all start?
What has led so many tens of thousands to turn their backs on
self-gain and status, to come to reverse their lite goals and become
dedicated to the things of God? Why should these thousands devote
their lives to GIVtNG instead of getting, to making it possible, through
their contributions, to have others read
The
PLAIN TRUTH free of
charge. and to hear the dynamic programs of GarnerTed Armstrong?
For our many readers and listeners who have never had the
opportunity to vtstt the world headquarters in Pasadena, California, or
to visit our far-flung offices around the world, this PLAIN TRUTH special
issue will provide a behind-the-scenes look at what we are all about.
lt's a full-color. 20-page pictorial presentation - a panoramic
view spanning the past 40 years - from the very beginning in 1934
up till the present day. lt's a history in pictures of the many facets of
the Work such as radio, television, publishing, the college and the
personal appearance campaigns worldwide.
