***It is customary here at FR to attack the messenger when you’ve no ammunition with which to attack the message.***

In my youth I listened to Garner T A off and on for years on radio and thought he might be on to something.
Then years ago I caught Garner Ted on THE WORLD TOMORROW TV show.

In a thirty minute broadcast he spent almost 20 minutes denigrating other churches and making fun of their beliefs in a very snide manner. He only “preached” maybe 5 minutes in the thirty minute program. I found that was common of his TV shows.

This was before I understood the Christian message but even then I began to realize he was a blow hard.

Garner Ted was somewhat off the track in his younger years, but he continued to learn. I think he is on the right track presently. Unfortunately, many of the WWCOG are not.

I've met Garner Ted on many occasions at Feasts and at Church services.
Like any man of age, he had his aches and pains which bothered him.
And like any man who knew his Bible, he had very little patience for those who just wished to attack, or lead people astray.
I'm very proud to have know him a little, and very proud of his work.
There were a few things he taught that I'm not sure about,
but his years in the Navy, and in archeology, before he went deep in to his Bible work, taught him well, how to build proofs, and how to analyze his surroundings.
The man was a great help to many.
