I thought, okay, so I did, and they accepted me, and I went through Ambassador College for four years in Pasadena, and my wife, who had gone earlier, and almost a straight-A student, was a big help to me.

But, you know, I struggled in my own personal life with depression for several years.

At Ambassador College, I struggled with depression.
Bob RodzajHOST

Eventually, God brought me to that point over several years of helping me step by step and certain individuals along the way to where I got completely past it.
Bob RodzajHOST
I just turned the corner.
Bob RodzajHOST
I've never struggled with it again.
Bob RodzajHOST
While I was at Ambassador College, and if any of you have ever not seen Ambassador College, ask somebody if they have an envoy, the yearbook for Ambassador College, and take a look at the Pasadena campus, the big sandy campus back in the early 80s.
Bob RodzajHOST
It's absolutely beautiful there.

Wade FranssonGUEST
And I didn't want to tell the gentlemen of Spokesman's Club and Church this.
Wade FranssonGUEST
So I said, oh, I'd like to go to Ambassador College, which was the church college.
Wade FranssonGUEST
And that sort of forced statement, which wasn't really true, made me like back up that lie with actually kind of applying and stuff.

Rick StaffordGUEST
And I'll live it.
Rick StaffordGUEST
I went to Ambassador College, not even know whether God existed.

My question is, what is your opinion of Herbert's W. Armstrong's many books.
EnriquezAUDIENCE
I am a correspondent student at his Ambassador College in Oklahoma.
Lloyd PulleyHOST
All right, Pastor Lloyd.
Lloyd PulleyHOST
Well, I would say that the teachings are at odds with traditional Christian beliefs, to be sure, and explicitly contradicts the Bible in a number of ways, especially his idea of Anglo-Israelism.
