Neville rejects a television preacher's prayer to an external Jesus

Neville turned on the television looking for a football game, stopped on a station where a preacher was praying to an external Lord Jesus before enormous crowds, and dismissed it as nonsense.

    Source The Potter's House ¶18passage 556660, 'I turned on the TV the other day' — combined with lecture nid 3992's certain year-level delivery claim (1971)
    Reasoning 'The other day' places the TV moment within days of the platform telling. The lecture's delivery year is independently corroborated twice within the same lecture (Barbados-departure-at-seventeen arithmetic, and the family's fiftieth business anniversary) at certain, 1971, so the happening year is the same year, circa 1971. This gives the existing type=relative, year-less claim an actual (if imprecise) year rather than replacing it.

    Reasoning Neville tells this TV anecdote from the platform, so field_told equals the lecture's delivery year, which the corpus already establishes at certain via two independent internal facts in the same lecture. No prior told claim existed for this event.
