Did you know that the Worldwide Church of God, under Herbert Armstrong started the national craze on healthy food eating and the ecology movement? Today's concerns for the earth were brought about by WCG publications and the awesome teachings of Herbert Armstrong.
Say what???????????
In the 1960's the church was in the forefront of healthy eating: getting away
from bleached flour, and other processed foods, encouraging natural foods (later
termed 'organic', etc.
In the 1970's and early 80's, the church was in the forefront of properly taking
care of the land God gave us, later termed the 'ecology' movement.
Every once in a while I would come across people in radio and television, who,
when Herbert Armstrong's name was mentioned, knew very much about him.
The Plain Truth, and in a different way, the Good News broke new ground, and we
were never credited. There is a scripture which states that we were noticed,
but never acknowledged.
Yes, and the printing press was created precisely for HWA's use as were jet planes. Computers came into being so that WCG could track its members and produce magazines and booklets. Cars were created by Henry Ford so that WCG ministers could travel and spread the gospel. Typewriters were created for use by HWA to write his co-worker letters. Dom Perignon and Harvey's Bristol Creme was created for the use of true Apostles. Glass blowing was created so that Apostolic gifts of Baccarat crystal could be given to world leaders. Lawyers were created to defend Rod Meredith when he could not keep his fat mouth shut. Trucks were created to move Apostolic prayer rocks to Oklahoma. The list could go on and on about the crazy things Armstrongites believe.
