When I was a kid Paul was living just about 40 miles north of us in California. I have enjoyed his radio news programs for a long, long time.

[Liz]

I really enjoyed listening to Paul Harvey news. I am sure he missed his wife a lot.

[GoLions]

Someone once told me that he was a "fan" of Ellen White" and that he used her for one of his 'rest of the story' segments. I can neither verify or deny this however. I think he also said something about keeping the Sabbath, but couldn't because of his job. Once again it was hear-say.

I did enjoy his commentary's every now and then, but other times I just wished he would get to the end of the story a little quicker.

R.I.P. Paul Harvey, I hope you lived up to the light you've been given. I hope to see you in heaven.

Paul Harvey said that the US Post Office should make a postage stamp with Ellen White on it because she is such a distinguished American. Of course, in his usual way, he listed all her accomplishments and left the audience hanging about who he was talking about. When he named her, he then said, if you don't know who Ellen White is,,,, well,,,, maybe you should.

He attended an Adventist church when he wintered in Arizona but was never baptized. A letter from the pastor of that church was published here on C/A some years ago. It may still be in the archives.

Shane, I just read a day or two ago that Mr. Harvey was baptized about a year ago.

[Neil D]

I remember being forced to listen to him on the high school bus as I was going to high school...I got to where I appreciated his commentary.....I loved the "for what it's worth department"...and his signiture line at the end of his news....

Aaaalllll right...This is Paul Harvey..........................................................................................................................Goooood day!

[Woody]

And ... that's the end of the story.

[Dr. Shane]

If the rumor is true that he was baptized recently, then it is not the end. The best is yet to come.

[GreatLakesGramma]

Shane, I don't think it's just a rumor. Redwood posted the link in another thread: http://www.adherents.com/people/ph/Paul_Harvey.html

My sister lives in Scottsdale, and when I visit her we both attend the Camelback church. The pastor there, Charles White, used to be pastor in Northern California and he baptized my granddaughters there. He told us that Paul Harvey had given the money to the Camelback church [anonymously] to upgrade their sound system. [This was several years ago.] And when he was in town he attended church there.

Of course this news is at least five years old.

[phkrause]

I actually don't ever recall having heard him on the radio or where ever. But from many didn't people have heard nothing but good things. Also had heard that his wife was an adventist. That he read most if not all of EGWs books and brought her up on his radio broadcasts. And I had heard that he attended the SDA church with his wife, and was baptized within the last year or so. Even if he wasn't it seems that he was a christian none the less.

Quote:

Paul Harvey is a convert to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He was baptized into the church around the year 2000. Harvey regularly attends the Camelback Adventist Church in Scottsdale, Arizona.

From: Mark A. Kellner, "Adventist Communicators Conference: 'Communicating Christ'", on ANN/Adventist News Network website, 16 October 2001 (http://news.adventist.org/data/2001/09/1003237231/index.html.en; viewed 15 July 2005):

Radio legend Paul Harvey, who has often quoted Adventist pioneer Ellen G. White in his broadcasts and who attends the Camelback Adventist Church in Arizona during his winters there, received the "Golden Microphone" Award for his professionalism and graciousness in dealing with the church.

Quote:

And ... that's the end of the story.

Rather, I think it was said thus-

And NOW you know.......................the REST OF THE STORY.

[phkrause]

Thanks for the info Neil. I guess I do recall redwood putting a link to this earlier in this thread. So thanks to both of you.

[Dr. Shane]

I feel quite sure that website is incorrect. First, it also says that Jaci Velazquez is an Adventist. She is not. She is a Baptist. Her father is a Baptist pastor. Secondly, the letter posted here at C/A some years ago from the Adventist pastor in Arizona was written after the year 2000. In that letter the Adventist pastor said Paul Harvey attended his church in the winter but was not an Adventist member.

Of course I don't want to insinuate that he is not saved if he is not an Adventist or that he is saved if he is an Adventist. My only point was that if Paul Harvey died a saved man, it is not the end but the best is yet to come.

[GreatLakesGramma]

Sigh. Just goes to show, one more time, you can't believe everything you read on the internet. God knows his heart, and that is all that really matters.

[rudywoofs (Pam)]

I'm going to miss Paul Harvey's commentary, and the man behind the mike himself. He was such a gracious person to everyone that I know of that he met. What a loss to the world of communications. He was not a baptized SDA, but somehow, I don't think that matters to God....as Catherine wrote,

I heard Paul Harvey a few times before. I like Neil Bootrz a lot too.

..Also am doing homework...

[nuff sed]

You might like Neal Boortz but he doesn't like you. He thinks that creationists are ignorant, stupid and should be put in the same category as the "Flat Earth Society".He's not too keen on organized religion either. If you are a Conservative and are tired of listening to Rush Limbaugh, try Glenn Beck...

I think you're right, Shane. I'd be very surprised to find that he was truly a member.
