Herbert W. Armstrong ads in the Wall Street Journal

In 1980/81 Herbert W. Armstrong, then, Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God, ran a series of ads in the Wall Street Journal pointing out that there are only two ways of life. One way he called the way of "GET," the way of vanity, coveting, lust and greed--envy and jealousy, hostile competition, strife, violence, war, destruction. And above all, resentment of authority. The other way of life he called the way of "GIVE," the way of  outflowing LOVE toward others, concern for their welfare, serving, cooperating, sharing.

Today, almost 30 years later, his comments are even more pertinent considering that the "GET" way of life has taken over more and more individuals and almost every aspect of society. Here are 12 of his ads as they appeared in the Wall Street Journal:
