Blog on the Lillypad

So I snagged an audio copy of “Preying from the Pulpit,” a 40 minute news expose on Jack Hyles and his wacko church/college and the history of child molestations associated with them. It was in RealAudio. I converted it to a WAV file and then tried various filtering techniques, but anything that cleared up one type of distortion just increased distortions at the other end of the sound scale. So I left it as-is in terms of wave form.
I broke the 40-minute file down into 6 shorter pieces of 5 – 7 minutes each: the way it was originally broadcast on successive nights by the news station in Michigan. If you don’t see links to it on the right side of the screen, go to the “Secret Radio” blog and you’ll find the links there. I hope to create a sequel to it and update listeners on the sex abuse cases that have occurred since the Michigan news station did their broadcast, for surely at least an equal number of graduates of Jack Hyles’ college have been convicted of such crimes since the documentary was broadcast. And Joe Combs, the notorious wretch who told his adopted daughter that God had made her his concubine and raped and beat her all her life (until he and his wife Evangeline were caught, convicted, and tossed into the pokey), had been a faculty member at Hyles Anderson College. In fact, a bunch of the “suits” from HAC showed up at Combs’ trial to speak on his behalf. From what I heard, they left with their tails tucked between their legs.
