devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to
mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth dis­
cord amon � -brethren." How many�these has my own-d�son
aITowed himself to be ensnared?
Fellow Ministers, PLEASE join a broken-hearted father in
praying daily and fervently that God will somehow, in his own
way, brin�J about circumstances to cause my son to realize the evil
path he is now treading, and bring him to a real repentance, that,
this time, will be LASTING!° I want� see-hiin'Tn Goa•s kingdom,
with my son Dick, and his mother -- the wife of my youth and for
fifty years.
Save the Church from his Satan-inspired, smooth-tongued, insid­
iously"pfanted questions and doubts in the minds of God's people -­
even as Jesus would, even as he called a spade a spade in branding
the hypocritical Pharisees as liars, whited sepulchers, blind
guides, fools! Did Jesus LOVE them? Yes, he gave his LIFE, pray­
ing, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do!" He
loved them and I love my son Ted. But Jesus didn't mince words
when it came to their evil doings, and neither can I.
My son stood over me, saying, angrily, "Dad, I could DESTROY
YOU!" Apparently by lying he is trying. But he distorts, exag­
gerates, minimizes, and lies outright, and I simply have to tell
people that they cannot believe what he says. He has disqualified
himself as a minister according to I Timothy 3:7. Perhaps I should
not have taken him back into the ministry in 1972 -- but I felt he
had repented as other ministers also felt, that what God forgives
he FORGETS. But he has come near to DESTROYING GOD'S CHURCH, COLLEGE,
AND WORK, SINCE THEN. God raised me back from death to set his
CHURCH BACK ON GOD'S TRACK, so that once again it may have CHRIST'S
BLESSING, and LEAP AHEAD IN GREATER POWER THAN BEFORE!
PRAY WITH ME! STAND FAST!

MR. GTA IS NOT KEEPING HIS WORD
by Herbert W. Armstrong
In one of the last two speeches Mr. GTA made while still
a member of God's church, was a SOLEMN PROMISE, which shows
he cannot be trusted in what he is now saying! Following is
a direct quote from the tape of his sermon before a group of
area churches at Rochester, New York, May 27, 1978.
These statements were made during the time when Christ's
Apostle had put Garner Ted on an obligatory leave of absence.
He had bee:1 removed for such leave from his executive position,
