Why "The WORLD TOMORROW" Program Is So Effective
As recently reported, 1985 is projected to be an all-time record year for
responses to "The WORLD TOMORROW" telecast. Television remains the number
one source of new names added to our files.
Why is the telecast so effective in stirring the interest of our viewing
audience? Following are some of the most important reasons according to
mail and phone comments:
• Telecast Is Unique
Viewers often tell us that they have never before heard the truths Mr.
Armstrong proclaims. Many say he is the only minister on TV whom they
watch. Some with no previous interest in religion, and even a few who
claimed to be atheists, have made similar remarks. One woman wrote,
"My husband has never shown any interest in the Bible that I know of
until we saw your TV program. He has since told our friends, and they
watch too."
• Program Makes Sense
Many people are impressed by Mr. Armstrong's dynamic approach to the
Bible. What he says rings true and makes sense. His messages make
them stop and think. "The WORLD TOMORROW" is practical and down-to­
earth and helps people apply God's Word in their lives. "He speaks on
relevant subjects intelligently, unlike others," said one. Another
colorful comment was, "He doesn't hoot and holler and hallelujah
around."
