This is a really lovely film. Thank you for making it.

On the internet I have mostly found items relating to Quakers are actually about Evangelical Quakers. This is the first I have found wholly relating to my experience of Quakerism. Thank you for the peace your video has given me. :)

@struth001 Thank you for your kind comments.

I think we in Britain are in the minority - most Quakers worldwide are more Evangelical.

A few years ago I randomly got myself into a Quaker meeting in England when I was there on my holiday. They are an amazing bunch of people. I saw them having a smart attitude towards life in general, and an extremely peaceful and kind attitude towards other people. When I got home I did some research and found a lot of amazing achievements through history by Quaker people, inspired by their desire to help the needy. Keep up the good work, you people! I love you all!

@24414330 Seriously? The bible has done far more good than bad for the world, I admit it does have some bizzare stuff in the old testament but its core message is love and peace, if people say they do things in the name of god that promote what you said then they are doing it for personal reasons, Quakers do not think the bible is perfect its is a guide to their lifes, Simplicity peace and tolerance are core testimonies. Quakers helped stop slavery and to create Amnesty International.

@FredrickDeSherlock , when an organisation sets out to lie to children, that is child abuse. On the table of any Quaker meeting are several copies of the bible. When this vile book which has been the source of so much misery, through, racism, animal abuse, xenophobia, slavery and delusional thinking, (all activities that Quakers have been involved in) is presented to children as being true, then this is child abuse.

@24414330 Since when has there been child abuse among quakers? never!

@24414330 ....there's nothing typical about his/her response to your bludgeing demand of proceeds made from these simply made and a joy to watch vid clips . Y dont U , my dear Mr survivor of religious abuse , practice what u preach upon them ...... yourself . lol...

[24414330]

srekauq- thought so, typical of the religious response. Quite prepared to lie to children and quite prepared to condition their young minds into delusional thinking, but not prepared to offer the proceeds to help them. I rest my case.
