Ralph Stair on his deathbed???
 

Noticed that Stair hasn't been live on the radio for a bit now, his
other followers have been doing the broadcast by their sermons. I knew
Stair said he was sick a little while ago. Considering this is their
main festival of the year this week, is Stair on his deathbed????

Hope so.

He's praying and fasting maybe? In all seriousness. {?}

Possible but rare for him to be off the air for this long.

My guess is that a new "sweet young thang" found her way onto the farm
and that's keeping him occupied.

I don't think he has been off the air. Perhaps he's on less
frequently, or has changed the times he goes live.

In addition to the prophet's 24/7/365 broadcast and net feed, he's
also on loads of AM stations (probably FM too) for a few hours per
day. Here in NYC he has 3 hours or so every night at 02:00 or so on
620kHz. These seem to be quite current -- he discusses the news, reads
letters, and has been pushing his 3-day group fast (scheduled for this
weekend, believe). I occasionally listen to these hours (there's
something compelling about the guy -- and when he plays tape of the
abusive phone calls he gets, it's great!) My impression is he's still
broadcasting.

I think what he does is a few hours of new program every day or so and
those hours are "privileged". That is, those are the ones he
broadcasts over stations where he only has a few hours. So while the
shortwave feed may be 90% repeats, the short mediumwave shows are much
more "new."

See if he's on a local AM where you are, especially for only an hour
or two. If so, listen to that programming, as it'll give a better
sense of what he's been up to lately. My 2 cents, anyways.

He's back, said he wasn't feeling well, still has a really nasty sore
throat. You can tell it in his voice, all broken up. Hate him or love
him, you have to admit, he does keep American shortwave alive.

I neither love him nor hate him. I just find him and his communication
style fascinating. He is, without a doubt, a compelling personality.

I imagine it won't be more than a decade or so after his demise that
someone writes a good, scholarly biography of the guy. He's a perfect
subject, given his influence on different levels of the culture
(religion, media, etc.)

On a related, old-SW-preacher note: Harold Camping has been calling
the exact day of the end of the world for a couple years now. It's in
late May, 2011, if I remember rightly. Last I heard, he was adamant
about that date.

Should the old guy live that long, his broadcasts up to that day --
and after, if, God forbid, he got it wrong -- should make fascinating
listening.

Brother Camping is even older than the Prophet; but those guys
sometimes go on forever.

Camping did the same thing in 1994, called for the end of the world. I
doubt if anyone believes him this time. Even his own station WYFR
conflicts with his teachings now.

The profit will never die.

He'll be giving false predictions till the second coming.
