FIRST: I have not abandoned BTR; I have been attempting to “finalize” a manuscript that I started around 1983 and re-started in 2003 and once again in 2007. I’m not that much of a “procrastinator”, just not enough hours in my typical day to get stuff started and completed; stated another way: “too many irons in the fire” for this still laboring “ole timer”. Here is a paragraph from that manuscript that is connected to previous BTR podcasts: “I used the word “manual” whereas since the 2016 election, President Donald Trump has further validated the various and many premises contained in this book, BUT only if one will think about, and considers such “objectively” also, not merely “subjectively”! The US Constitution is an objective document (thing) that relies on subjective individuals and therefore “people”, aka “We the People”! Here was/is the “old” warning from the second US President: "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other." (John Adams) SECOND: I will return to BTR - eventually; until then considering the preceeding realities.

Podcast #289 is the follow-up podcast to #288, i.e. our re-grouping. Pay particular attention to the end of this program, whereas a pattern repeats itself. Bottom line - you can continue to think, believe, and accept what and whomever you want. However, you've be warned again on this two podcasts with regards to political and religious "hanky-panky".
CHANGE - when does it cross over the "line" collectively and individually? I have no idea how many people actually, really listen to these podcasts. Yes, change has affected everyone and everything - well almost every thing. This podcast is about these letters LGBT or L-G-B-T. So what's the difference you might wonder? You could visit my two Facebook pages. But one is not really a page per-se, but rather a "timeline" - according to the words used by Facebook to explain the difference OR is such a distiction? But that will have to be another program, aka podcast.
Computer program issues continue. Unfortunately I'm not a computer geek, thus the issues continue - most likely on my end. Therefore this programs description will be posted on my Facebook page - at least in theory. NOTE: The program posted but for some reason the title was incorrect.
Podcast #285 is entitled “The Separation of Politics and Religion - 2016 Style”. Twenty-four hours have now passed since the voting ceased for the Presidential Republican Primary in South Carolina. Physically, for the most part, the final election results did not surprise me. Initially, the final results did surprise me spiritually; in retrospect however I was not all that surprised from the Spiritual aspect, whereas those results were predicted thousands of years ago. IMPOSSIBLE, you might claim; yet the Bible claims the exact opposite - like it or not, believe it or not. If you hold a bible up to your ear, does it “say” anything to you? Why that is a RIDICULOUS question to ask you might claim; really now? Does not the bible claim, at least in part, that “Faith comes by hearing…? So, what is really and actually “impossible”; what and who are “ridiculous”? What was interesting about the aforementioned election results could be stated in this manner as well; “Podcast #285 is entitled “The Blending of Politics and Religion - 2016 Style.” America OR Amerika cannot have it both ways; and that is the issue that Noel and “The WORDOLOGIST” deal with in our “crazy” individual ways on this program. We also discuss my infamous question, in the same way, “Why were the disciples first called Christians at Antioch?” Additionally, how much Truth is imbedded in this cliché, “Experience is the best teacher”? Is not that question something to ponder about folks for the next nine months or so?
