Dear Frank,

Well at least we've had an interesting discussion, agreeing on some
points and disagreeing on others. That's what makes the world go
around and as long as no one holds a gun to the other's head, telling
him he must believe "his way," everything is fine.

I, like most people, always hated the communists (and all other
totalitarian regimes) and I believe that the "religious broadcasters,"
while they do not actually hold a gun to your head, use an unarguable
agenda which they use to further themselves and themselves only. (As I
said, there are certainly some legitimate religious broadcasters.)
Plus I still feel they are ruining the hobby. (Sure they sell radios;
big deal. It's just another profit-making venture for them. The more
people who listen to their broadcasts, the more money they can get!)
"Brother" Stair appears to be an obvious "wacko" and sexual pervert.
By the way, DO NOT go to church; if you do, you are definitely and
positively under the influence of Satan. As the "church age" is over,
you should not support your church in any way. Harold Camping says so.
By the way, Harold would like you to send him some money.


Harold Camping's biggest problem for the SWL is he's a boring broadcaster.
But I think he made his fortune in building or real estate or something like
that. He could never be a big time broadcaster if he was depending on
donations from the listener. Most broadcasters have to deal with a economic
feedback loop. Alex Jones, Brother Stair, James Lloyd and all the rest have
to get the listener's attention, and strike a chord with potential donors.
It's a bit like street hustlers, I suppose. Any guy who asks for money owes
us a good story. Maybe not a convincing story, but certainly a good one.
"Awwwwww, just give me a dollar" certainly doesn't cut it.

Harold Camping is spending mostly his own money on SW broadcasting. I think
he's entirely sincere in what he drones. And he drones on and on and on and
on.


I really feel that these people and others like them who constitute
the "now-mainstream" SW "religious" broadcasters are inherently evil.
This is my opinion.

I'm afraid that you and I are going to have to "agree to disagree" on
that point.

However, as I said, it certainly has been interesting. You are
obviously a very reasoned and thoughtful person. We need more (many
more) like you.

Lawrence

Give it a few years. SW radio may yet again have another "format change".
The big international broadcasters are moving out, and hobbyist broadcasters
may fill the void. Or upstart networks may use SW radio to fill in smaller
markets. Air America hasn't done it, but a better managed network might
show up.


P.S. I never actually read Mao's "Little Red Book."

I never read read the Red Book either. I did read the Blue Book of the John
Birch Society.
