Dear Friend and PLAIN TRUTH Subscriber:
My son, Garner Ted Armstrong, whose voice you hear on The
WORLD TOMORROW, has written a personal letter offering you
something (FREE of course) he believes you will want.
It is also time for my own personal letter to you, which
I write semiannually to our subscribers. So we have decided to
send BOTH letters in the one envelope.
Several times I have personally written to our subscribers
answering the questions so many ask: "Who are you?" "Do you
represent a religious denomination, and if so which one?" "Who
sponsors and pays for your broadcasts around the world -- and who
pays for MY subscription to The PLAIN TRUTH?" "Just WHAT is your
motive?"
These questions continue coming in by the thousands. Some
FORTY-FIVE MILLION people, on all continents of the earth, listen
to The WORLD TOMORROW every week. Actually thousands of new
subscribers are added to The PLAIN TRUTH every week in the United
States -- beside those in other parts of the world. These millions
never hear any appeals for contributions over the air. And if they
send money to pay for their PLAIN TRUTH subscriptions -- or to pay
for any of our books or booklets -- they are surprised to find
their money returned. Yes, they are ASTONISHED -- for they never
heard of anything like this before! Nor have YOU!
It is so different -- even so REVOLUTIONARY -- it is hard
to believe, I know. But it's TRUE! I always want to give our
listeners, and our readers, the frank, straightforward explanation.
I want to tell you WHY there's nothing else on earth like this
Work.
So let me tell you what inspired this letter. A few weeks
ago I was reviewing an article that appeared in the November PLAIN
TRUTH, "The Unfinished Revolution," by our Managing Editor, Dr.
Herman L. Hoeh. He returned recently from Russia. He spent a
large part of the summer traveling through much of the USSR.
Things in his article inspired this letter. You will see,
differently than ever before, the answer to the question: Just What
is our motive in this Work -- and WHO is back of it, and WHY! It
will also make clear some things you probably never knew about
Communism, traveling in the exact OPPOSITE direction from this
Work.
Right now a supreme CRISIS exists -- a crisis OF THE WHOLE
WORLD -- and it threatens YOUR life at every point -- just as it
threatens mine, and the lives of everybody else.
