The Christmas ad is similar in the theme of hope (although not details) despite also using the symbol to show the universal connection/recognition to a divine holiday, but his spin at the SB forum is absolutely different in many key aspects as he told it. And the funny thing is, it is likely that even Solzhenitsyn could have lifted this. Have you never heard of stories of persecuted Christian trading secret signs to recognize each other in circumstances like this? You can trace these stories back to 100 AD or so. From the TEXT of the two stories (Christmas or SB Forum), calling out any plagiarism is really silly.
