Armstrong (HWA) and how those in the Churches of God (COGs), and now the Continuing Church of God, view him. This article is intended to give some background on Herbert W.

I should mention at the beginning that while I respect what God accomplished through him, I (and others in the real Church of God) do not worship Herbert W. Armstrong, consider that his writings are on par with scripture, nor treat him like some groups (the Seventh- day Adventists with Ellen White come to mind) treat some of their leaders. Those not interested in background information may wish to scroll through the first several pages which are almost exclusively autobiographical quotes on Herbert W.

Who Was Herbert W. Armstrong? The Early Years: Growing Up and Getting into Advertising and Learning the Seven Laws of Success. The following is basically from the 1. The Autobiography of Herbert W.
Armstrong (note: although in most places the 1. Volume 1 are the same, the 1. Herbert Armstrong's death by people who apparently wanted to modify some of his teachings so the 1. Did You Know What the First Changes the Tkach Administration Made?): I was born July 3. Quaker stock. My ancestors had emigrated from England to Pennsylvania with William Penn, a hundred years before the United States became a nation. My ancestry, through a paternal great- grandmother, traces back to Edward I, King of England. I first saw the light of day in a red brick two- apartment flat on the northwest corner of East 1.
Grand Avenue, in Des Moines, Iowa. Of course I remember absolutely nothing of the day of my birth - - even as you remember nothing of the day you were born.. When I was 6 the family moved to Marshalltown, Iowa, where my father entered the flour milling business.. Back to Des Moines we moved again in 1. Union, this time near East 1.
Walker. I was now in the 4th grade. We lived a short distance from a Seventh- Day Adventist Sanitarium, with a bakery shop near the front entrance. I remember being sent often to this bakery for special "health" bread - - probably whole wheat.
The thing that most impressed me, however, was the impression on my boyish mind that these Adventists must be some kind of odd religious people, because they "kept Saturday for their Sunday." Even at that age, anything different from common custom and general social acceptance automatically seemed strange - - and if strange, then of course it seemed WRONG. Why do people assume that the rank- and- file of PEOPLE can't be wrong?. Our transportation, 1. Going to the factory in the morning, we had to use the whip on the horse occasionally to keep him trotting. But returning home in the evening, it was necessary to hold tight rein on him. He needed no urging to trot. He seemed to know his oats were waiting for him in our barn..
From earliest memory I was kept regularly in the Sunday school and church services of the First Friends Church in Des Moines.. During the years between 1.
I had many Saturday and vacation jobs. I carried a paper route, was errand boy for a grocery store, special delivery boy for a dry goods store, spent one summer vacation as draftsman for a furnace company, and there were other odd jobs. But at age 1. 6, during summer vacation, I obtained my first job away from home. The job was waiting on tables in the dining room of a semi- resort hotel in Altoona, the next town east of Des Moines..
Of course, as yet, at age 1. GOAL to work toward, further than the general ambition to SUCCEED.
Of what that success was to consist had to crystalize later. Also, so far, it was pure VANITY. But it was a positive vanity, and that might be vastly preferable to a negative, purposeless humility. It was the first start toward later accomplishment.. In track I went out for the mile run in my Sophomore year only, but never was entered in the state meet. The best time I ever made was 5 minutes flat, on the Drake track, where the annual Drake Relays, nationally famous, are still run. Today the world's best milers run the mile under 4 minutes!
I was an average student in school. But in final exams I always got grades of 9. AT AGE 1. 8 I found a book in the public library, titled, "Choosing a Vocation." It took the reader through a searching self- analysis, and a survey of vocations, occupations and professions, to place the candidate where he best fit. A thorough study of this self- analysis and survey indicated that I would probably be most successful in the profession of journalism and advertising. And this, to me, was one of the truly exciting, thrilling professions. It so happened that my uncle in Des Moines, Frank Armstrong, my father's younger brother, was the most prominent advertising man in the state. He had led the movement of establishing Ad- Clubs in other cities over the state, and he was the first president of the state association.
I went to my uncle for counsel and advice. From that time, since I had chosen his field, he practically steered my life for the next eleven years, and I owe much to him. To me he seemed like a sort of second Benjamin Franklin, and on the whole I felt he had unusual insight, understanding, and sound judgment. The place to begin in the advertising profession, he advised, was the want- ad department of a daily newspaper. This was the freshman class of the advertising school of hard knocks.
It was late December, 1. Now the big question came: should I stay in school, and take courses in advertising and journalism in college or university? Well, Herbert," he counseled, "that depends on you and how much ambition and drive you have.
It happens that no college or university in the country has yet offered a course in this profession that is worth a plug nickel. Now I know," he continued, "that nearly everybody has the delusion that an education is something you get at school - - and higher education at the university.
It's like going to a hardware store or department store to purchase a lawn mower. People seem to have the idea that an education is something they have all wrapped up at the university, ready to hand it over to you when you buy it by paying the tuition. But it has always seemed to me that traipsing across the door- sill of a college classroom, or sitting in an arm- chair, is not putting an education into your mind. Education comes from study - - from books - - from lectures - - from contacts - - from travel - - from thinking about what you see and hear and read - - and from experience.."I went home and thought it over thoroughly. Ambition is not only the DESIRE, but the determination and the will to achieve the desired goal.
For two years ambition had burned fiercely within me. I wanted both success and to become a well- educated person. I knew I wanted these goals intensively enough to drive myself to any needed extent to succeed.
I told my uncle my decision. He assigned me to one year's experience in want ads, and advised that I get a job in the want- ad department of the Des Moines Daily Capital, then published by Lafe Young, senior United States Senator from Iowa.. I did not ask The Capital if they needed any help. That was too negative - - might have resulted in being turned down.
