I hope you understand how this might have been doable for a pretty white woman in the 60s but not so easy in the modern world. Don't blame everyone for not being able to overcome adversity.

@@Xeirus911 race is irrelevant

@@robertb8629 Do you seriously think being white in the 60's didn't afford you massive benefits over every other race? Are you that stupid are or just a racist?

@@Xeirus911 So, only "pretty" people have the tools to overcome adversity? Wow. Sad for you.

The Kingdom of christ is inside you not in the sky

@@daniellap.stewart6839 that is false. We are Gods temple. The physical kingdom comes down during the millennium reign of Christ.

actually the Kingdom of Christ is in heaven, where the kingdom of God is, which is in another dimension, and you can only go there after death if not hell, which is also yet another dimension.

I'm in my 60's, I spent my whole childhood in the care system, and the early days of my life were especially traumatic as I spent time in the Father Hudsons care home which was run by priests and nun's. I witnessed child abuse that would these days be considered unlawful. Because of this I hated anything to do with the church and God and ultimately grew up an absolute atheist. My belief has always been that all religion was written by man for man for self policing purposes but I did grow up with a code of conduct that kept me out of trouble with the law, when I came across people later in adult life that would be considered abusers or bad people, I took the law into my own hands and delt out punishment that I believed would best suited to teaching these bad people that their actions and attitude towards others was not only wrong but made them fear that there was always going to be people like me that didn't follow any religious beliefs and therfore had no problem dishing out a punishment to make them stop and think about choices they were making that were impacting other people's lives that was totally unacceptable. I never killed anyone but did torture a few before handing them over to police. I have no regrets about that especially as the the punishment I dished out was more severe and thought provoking to them than anything in the way punishment that was given to them by our legal system. I have had a fairly good career that wasn't as financially rewarding as it could have been and I changed my career a few times after making choices based on principle rather than accept some of the poor practices laid down by companies in the name of profit and unaccountably. I always stuck to my beliefs in the hope that I made a difference. I have never looked for, or found God because I see the state of our world with all the suffering and still can't believe any God would allow this if they ever existed. I find everyone who mentions God and wants to forgive bad people even to this day nieve to the experiences of life and what it brings to all of us.

Hiya, just wanted to thank you for the share. Hallelujah! Praise to the Most High the God of all creation.

In the 60's our paperboy was my cousin. He'd stop to talk a couple of minutes when he dropped the evening paper off and my mom would sometimes give him a soda to take on his route through the neighborhood. One day he lingered on the porch,much longer than usual and my mom could see he was troubled by something. He said we are moving to Arizona for his job( we are in NY) and he didn't want to go. Of course my mom and my brother and me said," you'll be ok, you'll make new friends" ect. Trying to boost his mood. He said "no, I don't want to go because we are going to be killed on the highway". Of course my mom discounted it as fear of moving ect. (I'm getting chills recounting this story). A couple of weeks later they did leave NY and drove to Arizona. They did get into a motor vehicle accident. A semi crossed the double line at night and hit them head on and my cousin and his dad was killed instantly.( Edit- his dad's job in Arizona)

Hallelujah Praise Jesus 😇 ✝️❣️🛐

@@Awakeningspirit20 😲 Wow!! What has God called you to do? I'm sorry you have been through all that. God Bless you 🛐❣️✝️

@@Awakeningspirit20 I identify with your struggle, friend. A lot of the professing church has been misled and the church as a whole seems hopelessly fractured. I, too, once felt like an outcast who was called to much greater things. Nevertheless, if you feel called by God to be a prophet or a leader, then I recommend picking up a Bible of your choice and reading it again, or at the Torah and the Prophets. Let the Lord guide you in understanding what it tells you, with a humble heart, and you’ll find a wellspring of understanding in relation to the mysteries of life. Especially the prophets, their words provide images and even methods of spiritual understanding. A prophet isn’t a prophet by his desire to be one, but rather by the depth of his understanding of God’s manifest will in the world. They speak in images of an ancient culture that still speaks to us today and for all ages. The book of Proverbs, in its simplicity, is also a good guide to start with. The Lord is eternal, and within us, and His wonders are there for everyone to see if only they want to see it. Those who do see it are like vessels into which abundant water flows without ever breaking or rusting over. The New Testament is also of immense value to the one who knows God, but it’s significance can’t be spoken in plain terms, and the masses must take it literally to bolster their faith. And for some, that is good enough, so long as they repent from evil and do good according to their capacity to understand and do so. In all cases, we need to be merciful toward one another in our faults. I hope that you find encouragement and are lifted up by your virtue and belief in God, and I hope that He works a wonder in your life. Many Christians and Jews believe that prophecy is over, that it ended long ago, but that’s not the case. We live in a unique time, my friend. If you want to understand, then knock, and knock again, and the door will be opened to you. Clearly, you can think for yourself. So God bless you, and I hope you uncover the truth and find your purpose, whether it’s in the church or anywhere else. You are a child of the Living God, who loves you dearly. Remember that. :)

I wish I could talk to her now to learn from her perspectives now later in life.

@@Julia_USMidwest Same here.

That would be so interesting. She seems really thoughtful and deeply on her spiritual journey.

She died from cancer in 1996

Yes. It can't be said enough, David.

@@jaakkopontinen yes indeed!

What a comment 👏 Hit me hard too it is the world that is wrong and the Bible is right

*woman

If I might offer a gift of knowledge to you. If you decide to read the Holy Bible. Pick up the King James Version. Not the 1611 or the new KJV but the original. At first it is hard to understand but pressing on the knowledge will appear with prayer. The new versions of the Bible are remade for easy to understand as they say but have polluted the truth of the word. They added to it and took out the treasure of its real meaning which in turn put one in subject of the Government of the land and making you be in bondage to the law of their manmade inturpretation.. I hope you will find the freedom of Christ and his magnificent truth as this woman did..

Yes, read the Bible for yourself. Just not the watchtower version JW’s use. They change critical things. Many versions are good though. ESV, NASB, NIV, NKJV are some good ones. And Christianity should be about a relationship with Christ and not a works-based religion. You can’t work your way into heaven. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:8-9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ www.bible.com/111/eph.2.8-9.niv Blessings!

@Northwest River I am open to any advice you have to share.

Saw the recommended video in my feed. Decided to check the comments and came across yours. I will pray certainly be praying for you. If will also drop a few things here for your search if that is fine with you. Seeing your comment has honestly been a blessing to me.

Pray and ask Jesus Christ to show you the way

or if she has moved on from religion.

@@its_me_dave David will track her down. He's genius like that🤓

@@JamesWitte pray attention She gave up religion. She now has a relationship with Jesus..not religion. Big difference however it would be nice just to see where this beautiful soul is.

@@Franaflyby Christianity is a religion. as someone with a year in ministry school, don't try tell me that nonsense. There is no big difference. Its no different to being Muslim, Hindu, or any other religion. To think otherwise is a deluded sense of self entitlement bestowed to you by the religion itself. (which they all do by the way) Anyway, yes it would be interesting to see if she progressed on the Christian religion or not.

@@JamesWitte your wrong. But I'll let you think your right. If you listen close she gave up religion. She tried every religion.

They're called podcasts.

Check out on KZfaq Soft white underbelly channel. Real interviews with real people. A large majority are from skid row in Los Angeles. But then some are from Kentucky and other cities. Pretty interesting.

Most interviews in the majority of the media today are preplanned and set up. Everything has to be said exactly as the media outlet wants, you are not allowed to be yourself. Basic Communism 101.

​@@user-ru6mq5sc5n So there were more platforms available in the 80s? I don't think so.

@@malcorub One would think with the advent of the internet and the fact everyone with a phone has a camera it would be easier to do this type of thing.

She's beautiful because we see Jesus in her😊

I hope she is still doing well and happy, still married, enjoying life and grand babies.

@@rigavitch you could say that about any comment on this video.

@Northwest River Even though the comment was condescending in tone, I found it to be thought provoking.

She`s showing a tremendous self-awareness of what you would call cheap cultural conditioning: mentions the "spiritual market" of south California, mentions that she despised born-again christians just like you. But she was confident enough to follow the truth despite the social perception and even the "threat" of being coarse.

Her experiences are unique to her, you can't really argue against that unless you are willing to die on this hill, lol. Our experiences are all unique to us.

@@clairefitzpatrick7183 - I believe in God, I do not believe in church.

@Northwest River - Personally, I appreciate being able to be a truthful person and integrity being second nature. However, it took a LONG TIME to learn that I could not have such expectations from others as I have for myself (lest I be disappointed in humanity). It's a continual walk. But you got to laugh! And I'm enjoying life! And at least I'm sure I'm heading in the right direction. And I'm doing my best to enjoy the journey wherever it may lead.
