Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong: Got your letter yesterday and enjoyed
reading it very much, and we are sending an offering, to help carry
on God's Work, and we are praying you can get lots of large
offerings to carry on God's Work. We do hope you can go on TV
soon. I am like the man you wrote about---always wanted to see the
one I had heard so long. We've been listening to you broadcast a
long time, and it has changed my life. I do thank God for you and
the staff and Plain Truth. We've been listening since 1943, and do
thank you so much for all you have sent, and we have enjoyed it so
much. I keep all the Plain Truths. So God bless you all, and do
remember us and loved ones in your prayers."
From Wisconsin: "Dear Mr. Armstrong: I received the
Co-Worker letter yesterday. Sure happy to hear about the TV
program. Even though I won't let TV interfere with my WLS "World
Tomorrow" program, I still would like to see The World Tomorrow on
Television. The nightly program is now on at 9 PM here (we do not
have daylight-saving time), and about having the program late at
night, I think it is a wonderful idea. I usually go right to bed
after I turn off the radio. So much to think about, don't care to
look at movies or visit after that. I have had 3 lessons in the
Bible study course. It sure does mean so very much to me. It's
wonderful to be able to understand the Bible better. Years ago,
when I read in the Bible, it was so hard to understand, almost like
it was meant for another world. You make it all so clear, and
that's why I never tire listening. God bless all at Ambassador.
We need you so very much."
From Missouri: "Dear Mr. Armstrong: I seldom write but I
must send in a few lines concerning this TV letter you wrote us.
I have thought you would go on TV a long time before now, and was
hoping you would. I would like very much to see you on Television
as I have been a Co-Worker of yours for some few years. But there
are a few points I would like to put before you. I think 11 to
11:30 PM is entirely too late. You see, I have to get up at 5:30
AM, and so I could not stay up until 11:30 to watch TV. I, like
Ted Armstrong, have resisted this TV temptation for a number of
years, and all my friends have wondered why I have not purchased
a TV set. But this is the reason why: I'm human, and thought I
would become so interested in such programs as "Groucho Marx," and
"I love Lucy," etc., etc., and would neglect The World Tomorrow.
I listen every night over XEG, and get very good reception unless
it is storming. If you go on Television, I'll buy a set, providing
I can see the program at a reasonable time, say about 9:30 till 10
PM. TV sets are high, and I'll bet a lot or our dear Co-Workers
just wouldn't be able to buy a set, and a lot of them go to bed a
lot earlier than 11:30 PM. So before you take the program off
radio for good, think twice. I would hate to be left off
completely. (Not trying to run your business)---just looking out
for myself. I would be lost without your program."
LET ME MAKE IT PLAIN, Co-Workers, we plan to REMAIN ON
RADIO, with the DAILY program, six or seven nights a week on XEG,
XELO, WLW, WWVA, XERB, and the stations in Los Angeles, Portland,
and Seattle. We even hope to add one, two, or three additional
super-power clear channel stations to broadcast the DAILY program
six or seven nights a week.
