Nobody can take a so-called “preacher” seriously when he chronically mis-spells words like “especially” and “scriptures”…


And Johnny Robertson is saying that another preacher is “confused”?

Kinda funny, isn’t it? That there have been at least two major stories that happened in the area in the past few days, and WGSR general manager Charles Roark didn’t see fit to have either of them reported over the air. The bigger priority at Star News is the illiterate cult leader from Texas: the one that Roark acts like an obedient dog to....

Before I get to the meat of this particular post, there’s something that I’m gonna share here, that I think is nigh worth passing along…

In the past several days, two individuals – each of whom is a highly respected and admired member of the community in this area – have volunteered to me their opinion of WGSR Star 39: the television station “serving” the market around Reidsville, North Carolina.

The first person said that WGSR is an “embarrassment” and that it “makes the people here look dumb”.

The second person was more precise in their assessment: that WGSR general manager Charles Roark is not a serious broadcaster, that he is only out for “tabloid television” and that Reidsville’s television station never tolerated such “nuts like Johnny Robertson” when it was operating as WAEU Channel 14 several years ago.

I agree, one hunnerd percent. WAEU had a much more professional ...

This is what happens when otherwise normal individuals don’t think for themselves with the minds that God gave them…

It was thirty years ago today – November 18th, 1978 – that the Jonestown Massacre occurred at the People’s Temple Agricultural Project near Kaituma, Guyana. Following an ambush at a nearby airstrip (which took the life of United States Representative Leo Ryan), People’s Temple founder and leader Jim Jones told his followers that their enemies were coming to destroy them and that the only option left to them that afforded any “dignity” was to commit “revolutionary suicide”.

Jones then ordered his faithful to drink cyanide-laced fruit drink. Many families used syringes to squirt the deadly poison into the mouths of infants, before they themselves ingested the fatal fluid. All told, 909 people – including Jones, who was later found with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head – killed themselves ...

We missed it by three days, but I don’t think most people will mind if we “honor” it belatedly!

Yes folks, this past Friday, August 1st, was the thirtieth anniversary of a certain somebody going all nuts in a convenience store in east Texas, pulling out a revolver and threatening to kill the store’s owner, then making off with a ridiculously tiny sum of money before being apprehended following a twenty-minute high-speed car chase… in a Ford Pinto.

(Was this same young man suicidal in addition to being an idiot?)

For that little stunt, Our Hero spent two years locked up in the prison at Huntsville (the one used for death sentences) before getting out and spending the next few as a paroled convicted felon.

And that’s just the beginning…

More coming soon....

Remember these guys?

It was ten years ago tonight that the 39 members of the “Heaven’s Gate” cult were found dead – after committing mass suicide – in their house in California. That was one weird thing when it happened. In case you were a bit younger: these guys were a UFO cult that believed a flying saucer was accompanying the Hale-Bopp Comet, which was big in the skies that spring. By killing themselves – or “leaving their earthly vehicles” as they put it – the Heaven’s Gate bunch thought they were going to be takign a trip into outer space. Remember when they were showing footage shot inside the place: all those bodies with bags around their heads, wearing the same outfits and all found to be carrying five dollars in quarters (for the “videogames” that were going to be onboard the UFO that was supposed to pick them ...
