Welcome to the first Invitational Ambassador Report Private P
arty! Roughly speaking this will
be the 40
th
anniversary of
Ambassador Report
(AR). The first three magazine issues were
published in 1976, 1977, and 1978. It
's
been great fun and my pleasure to speak with every one
of you during verbal invitations this year.
Over these many decades we publishers, friends, and contributo
rs to the AR have enjoyed annual
and biannual gatherings in our homes reminiscing about our
experiences during the bittersweet
days ofwouldhavliked to
have been a fly on the wall at our staff and friends AR
parties over these many years. No doubt
they would have had a great time!"

Do they have an allied/partner specials with any of the casinos so that you get "comped" drinks and casino chips?

Sad, by the way, about John Trechak.

In my early days of leaving/having left WCG (late 80s-early 90s) I was devouring his AR. I had already come to the conclusion that WCG (and the Bible) was wrong, but until reading the ARs, I had no idea just how nutty and corrupt the organization underneath actually was.

I guess you could say he was exposing the filth inside Armstrongism before it became cool :)

Rest in peace, John.

I wonder how many WCG members got free from the Armstrongs as a result of the work done by the Ambassador Report contributors. I know I was one and a 30-year couple also resigned after I shared with them my copies of the AR John sent me. I knew it existed but I was under such mind control I didn't pursue the publication earlier. Y'know Satan and all that BS.

I recall my first issue was a trial issue I sent for. After that eye-opener I sent for all the back issues and shared them with a deacon friend and his wife. Her eyes popped open and she actually resigned prior to my walk away after a confrontation with a Pasadena heavyweight came to visit our area. It seems the local Pastor was having a problem hanging on during those final days before the implosion of the WCG. The pastor hung on long enough to get his pension. He had been one of the first members I made friends with back in 1967 at my first Sabbath service in New Hampshire. He was one of the local leaders. After I resigned in '92 he had to get up and lie about me as a final action as a pastor. It was sad that he called my phone during working hours and disfellowshipped me on my answering machine.
