Reading Only the Words of Christ - Understanding God, the Bible in a Different Way
December 30, 2024
"The very first time that a person ever heard that you cannot die...hearing the immortal soul concept, was when Satan, through the form of the serpent, was talking to Eve. He said, God said you cannot eat of any of these fruits in the Garden of Eden. Eve replied, oh no, we can't eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, for if we do so, that day we will die. Satan insisted, you shall not surely die, for God knows that once you eat of that fruit, you will become like God, knowing good and evil. Give it a try. Trust me. Don't trust God.
Since then, mankind has really not been trusting God ever since and it has gotten us into a lot of problems. But that's the very first lie in the Bible" - Bob Barney

Trump Goes Against Some MAGAites Agrees with Musk
December 30, 2024
"These visas are not the same thing as what we have with the illegal aliens running over the American border in droves without us not knowing a thing about them...whether they're criminals or anything of the sort. Musk made a post that the H-1B visas should be continued and not be a part of the deportation program...not causing it to cease. What many people don't understand history wise is that these types of people have special skills..." - Bob Barney
Musk Labels Certain MAGA Supporters As ‘Contemptible Fools’ Amid Heated Visa Debate
December 29, 2024
"Tech billionaire Elon Musk labeled a section of President-elect Trump supporters as “contemptible fools” as the online debate around visas for highly skilled workers on the right intensifies. A Trump world civil war has been brewing this week as Musk, and his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) partner Vivek Ramaswamy have found themselves on the opposite end of the legal immigration debate with the anti-immigration contingent of the MAGA base."
A True Short Story: When a B-17 Tail Fell With a Gunner Inside
December 28, 2024
World War II tail gunner Gene Moran fell four miles through the sky without a parachute and lived. Captured by the Germans, he survived a harrowing eighteen months as a prisoner of war, including a six-hundred-mile death march in 1945 across Central Europe.
When Gene returned home, he kept those memories locked up for nearly seventy years. His nine children knew little of their dad's war story. But when John, a young history teacher, learns of Gene's amazing fall, he's desperate to learn more. Finally, Gene agrees.
So begins a series of "Thursdays with Gene" interviews. Gene, nearing his ninetieth birthday, recounts incredible tales. But John has no idea what wounds he's reopening. Gene's nightmares and grief return. But both men persevere, bonded by their close and growing friendship.
As the interviews go on, John faces an ordeal of his own. His wife is fighting brain cancer. What will happen to his wife and his two young children? John must continue uncovering Gene's story of survival as he himself confronts the greatest trial of his life.
Tailspin is more than a war story. It's a story of two men's separate journeys confronting trauma and loss. It's a story of resilience and hope.

How a Chicago-born reindeer and other invented customs shaped the holiday season
December 27, 2024
Have you ever wondered where the stories of Christmas come from? Are they rooted in our cherished family traditions? Surprisingly, many of the beloved customs surrounding this holiday were invented—yes, made up! In her fascinating book, Christmas: A Biography, critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Judith Flanders dives deep into the history of Christmas, tracing its evolution from ancient festivals to the modern traditions we know today. Did you know Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has Chicago roots? The iconic character was created by Robert L. May in 1939 as part of a promotional campaign for Montgomery Ward. “In the mid-20th century, Montgomery Ward—a major department store chain—distributed a children’s book as a holiday gift for customers,” Flanders explains. “It was the story of Rudolph, which we now know so well.” But that’s not the end of the story...

Why We Do What We Do: Activities That Can Be Traced Back to Pagan Culture
December 27, 2024
Links between holiday traditions and pagan culture are well established - and occasionally celebrated - but there are also a lot of misconceptions about paganism that make the word itself a bit taboo. Paganism isn't something to be feared or shunned. In Latin, "pagan" was simply the word for villager or civilian. Religious connotations that developed during the Middle Ages made pagans into heathens rather than outsiders. With all that in mind, there continues to be a pervasive presence of paganism in the modern world.
Tsunami: the moment when everything changed - Full documentary in English
December 26, 2024
It is one of the memories that some wish they had never experienced. It killed more than 230,000 people, including 95 French people, destroyed the coasts of 13 countries and left thousands destitute. Fifteen years have passed and yet no one has forgotten the 2004 tsunami on the coasts of the Indian Ocean. December 26, 2004, 9:30 a.m. Hundreds of tourists lounge by the swimming pools of luxury hotels in Thailand. Some are having breakfast, others are finishing getting ready before going on an excursion. They are far from imagining that in a few minutes, nothing will remain of these heavenly places. Deep in the ocean, a cataclysm is brewing.

Why We Do What We Do: Common Words with Surprising Mythological Origins
December 26, 2024
Have you ever wondered why the days of the week are named the way they are? Sunday and Monday are named after the sun and moon, which makes sense, but then we've also got Saturday, which is named after the Roman god Saturn. And then, just to shake things up, the remaining four days of the week are named after the Norse gods Tyr (Tuesday), Odin/Woden (Wednesday), Thor (Thursday), and Frigg/Freya (Friday). Just as many common phrases derive from outdated traditions, words associated with mythology are indelibly bound to our vocabulary. Here are some of the most intriguing examples.

The Poor Traveller by Charles Dickens
December 21, 2024
Thanks to his seminal 1843 novel A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens is often credited with inventing winter festivities as we know them. His book of literary favorites, including Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the host of Christmas ghosts, are thought to define the 'Dickensian Christmas'.. Although The Plain Truth exposes the REAL CHRISTMAS as a pagan ungodly celebration, we still think our viewers and listeners should be familiar with the subject... Tonight's Short Story is from the Master of Modern Christmas....
