34. JJ - One of the GREAT Stories of Forgiveness and Transformation

from A Journey with Bernie · host Bernie Kelly

This is one of the most incredible stories you are likely to hear. It is a story of a boy who had a taste of a 'living hell'. As a result, JJ joined the army so he could 'kill people'. He found alcohol and painkillers to be his daily companion. He attempted suicide but 'an angel' in the form of his son kept intervening. Then nearly 5 years ago, he found THE PROGRAMME. Instantly and without plausible explanation his alcoholic problem was over. JJ has not drunk since. THE PROGRAMME helped him to forget his problems, by introducing him to a life of service. Vipassana meditation now plays a role in helping JJ forget the past with a purified mind. Now he truly LOVES and there is evidence.This is a remarkable story but be aware you are going to hear of 'ugliness'. You mind will conjure pictures of war atrocities that will make you squirm and cringe. Stick with it, because in the second half, you will be stunned by how JJ's life has blossomed to inspire a man with an extraordinary level of self-honesty, a comfort to communicate it and a love for life, people and family for which most could only wish.Bernie K +61412982444JJ + 61417719428
