- 0:13Where are you tonight? Empty streets belong Something
- 0:23in the air. I can't quite let it go.
- 0:34The feeling that you're there every single night.
- 0:42I look up high, trying to catch a sign that you're watching over
- 0:48me, but I just can't see. Where are you tonight when I
- 0:58need you most? Where are you to die?
- 1:10Are you close? Are you close?
- 1:21Hands reach to the sky, stars fall like your tears.
- 1:34Time keeps passing by. Still I wait right here.
- 1:47Every breath I take, every prayer I make, Hoping you'll
- 1:51appear in this world of mine. Just give me a sign.
- 1:58Where are you tonight when I need you most?
- 2:12Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:13My name is Brett Keane from GOD TV Radio.
- 2:16I hope you're all having a blessed day out there.
- 2:19If you enjoyed that song that you heard at the introduction
- 2:23that is called Where Are You Tonight is the second track on
- 2:26my newest CD album that I released.
- 2:29You can buy that on Amazon, Spotify, my website, and
- 2:33hundreds of other outlets out there, along with 19 other
- 2:37tracks to go along with it. And you can listen to it for
- 2:40absolutely free by going to the front of my YouTube channel and
- 2:44seeing the full playlist for all to hear.
- 2:47I'm a big fan of allowing people to hear a product before they
- 2:51actually buy it to let them know that they're not wasting their
- 2:55money. And if you'd like to hear my
- 2:58radio station where I have over 1000 episodes, exclusive
- 3:03content, not on YouTube or anywhere else where freedom of
- 3:06speech rings high, then you can check me out on the radio.
- 3:13All links will be in the comments.
- 3:15You can also check out my newest book, Afterlife Simulation, and
- 3:20other content and neat stuff. When I first got away from
- 3:26atheism, ladies and gentlemen, I was struggling.
- 3:31It wasn't an easy transition to go from lacking a belief in God
- 3:36or believing that if there were to be a God and it happened to
- 3:40be the one of Christianity or any of these religions that
- 3:44exist today. I had it set in my mind that if
- 3:47something like this did exist it would make a very difficult
- 3:52universe to live in. I had a hard time with moral
- 3:56arguments as well as the problem of evil, which is an issue that
- 4:00Christians as well as people of other faiths and non believers
- 4:05have battled with for thousands of years since the idea that a
- 4:10higher power even existed. So I was looking for people who
- 4:15were knowledgeable. I was looking for people who
- 4:18were intelligent. I was looking for people that
- 4:21lived up to their name, walk the walk, talk the talk.
- 4:26I connected with people like Ken Toven.
- 4:29I connected with people like Praise.
- 4:31I am. I connected with PTOR through
- 4:33Bit Shoot. I connected to Proverbs
- 4:36ministry. These were the type of people I
- 4:40was listening to and paying attention to, as well as many
- 4:43other Christians, including Sister Sunshine and a plethora
- 4:48of other religious believers that either still exist in
- 4:51social media are long gone. And I learned a lot.
- 4:56I absorbed a lot of information and I adopted many of the ideas
- 5:02and thoughts that a lot of you did.
- 5:04But not only did I do that with praise, I am and Proverbs and
- 5:09TTOR and all that. There were things in the
- 5:13beginning when I first met Smokey St. he didn't always go
- 5:18under that name. He used to go under Josh and
- 5:21showed himself on camera. In the beginning of his YouTube
- 5:26career, he used to visit sister Sunshine's live chats and me and
- 5:31sister enjoyed his company. He was a different person it
- 5:35seemed back then. Very nice, very respectful, very
- 5:39articulate, well read, seemed in the Bible, and I've seen myself
- 5:46for the longest time enjoying listening to the words that came
- 5:49out of his mouth. But one of the problems I had is
- 5:54being a babe in Christ, transforming from atheism into
- 5:57Christianity, is I failed at a gift that Christianity offers
- 6:03and it's called discernment. I had a difficult time being
- 6:08able to tell the bad ones from the good ones.
- 6:10I just simply wasn't able to pick it up.
- 6:14And I was kind of like Donald Trump.
- 6:15As long as someone was nice to me and stuff, they were my
- 6:18bestest. I, I liked them.
- 6:21I wanted to be friends. I wanted peace, not war, that
- 6:24kind of stuff, if that makes sense.
- 6:28So I followed all these people. I subscribed to them and I
- 6:32listened to them during this time.
- 6:35There were some Christians out there that they went down a dark
- 6:40path. They gave up their faith and
- 6:42they became atheists themselves. Some of them remained calling
- 6:48themselves Christian, but they didn't behave or act in any way
- 6:52like that. And then it came down to I
- 6:57started seeing the Christian community fighting with each
- 7:00other over theology. I've seen people saying, no, the
- 7:03trinity's not the way. Yes, the Trinity's the way.
- 7:08This is what it's like during tribulation.
- 7:10Should we follow the commandments or should we do
- 7:13like Paul? Are we under works?
- 7:15Are we not under works? All right, once you're saved,
- 7:19are you always saved? And the list just kept going on
- 7:22and on and on where Christians were creating more and more
- 7:26obstacles, so the person had to get in order to find salvation.
- 7:31I even got to the point where I looked at myself in the mirror
- 7:34and I said, do I got it right? This is so confusing.
- 7:38I feel like what what is happening here?
- 7:43And eventually I had to get to a point where I didn't know who
- 7:47was telling me the truth, who was right, who was wrong.
- 7:50And I had to go directly to God and quit using humans as a
- 7:55mediator. I said God, what is what is the
- 7:58facts? What is the truth?
- 8:00Because all these people have their own interpretation, all of
- 8:04them have their own stories, all of them have their own walk in
- 8:08life. There was a lot of growing, a
- 8:11lot of learning, and eventually I found out that my walk with
- 8:17God was going to have to be strictly prohibited from other
- 8:23people's walk, that it would have to be unique and
- 8:26independent all on its own. Then things got worse.
- 8:32Christian community went from arguing over theology to getting
- 8:38into each other's personal business.
- 8:40And eventually it was found out that Josh, who was known as
- 8:43Smoky St., was a pedophile and he was charged with it, actually
- 8:50went to court and he hung out with a man who wasn't taking
- 8:55care of himself that had health issues that struck him down
- 9:01mentally. Kenny Rhodes, a guy who has
- 9:06almost the same condition as I do, bipolar manic depression.
- 9:11If you don't keep up with bipolar manic depression, if you
- 9:14don't stay in front of it, it can turn into a really, really
- 9:19serious problem. My mother had it and it
- 9:22eventually ended up in her committing suicide.
- 9:26It's a it's a problem that causes you to devalue yourself.
- 9:33It allows rage, anger, hopelessness, everything that a
- 9:39Christian is not. It'll tear you apart emotionally
- 9:43and mentally. It can cause you to be your
- 9:46worst enemy and destroy everything around you.
- 9:51And that's exactly what Kenny Rhodes did.
- 9:54Kenny Rhodes ended up losing a high paying job at a Christian
- 9:58organization where people used to listen to him and supposedly,
- 10:03according to Christians today, he is now homeless.
- 10:08Kenny Rhodes spent instead of spending his time trying to sow
- 10:13seeds and help people and support people and emphasize,
- 10:18empathize with people and identify, he decided to use his
- 10:23platform to attack, attack, attack.
- 10:26And he justified it because he said people don't agree with my
- 10:31friends and criticize my friends.
- 10:33So therefore I'm going to beat people up.
- 10:36I'm going to say nasty things. And the hell with what God
- 10:40thinks about it was his attitude.
- 10:46This road ruined his entire life.
- 10:51And then, of course, there's Josh.
- 10:54Josh made a decision a long time ago, while he was going to
- 10:58college, that he wanted to screw an underage girl in a motel
- 11:02room. Instead of taking accountability
- 11:05for it and saying that he was a stupid young man who made a
- 11:08terrible mistake and would never do that again, he decided to lie
- 11:13about his identity. He pretended to not be the guy
- 11:16in the mug shot. He lied for over a year saying
- 11:21that that wasn't him, that they got the wrong person.
- 11:24They're framing an innocent man is what he said.
- 11:27I recall that he deliberately attacked me repeatedly, even
- 11:33though I had told him respectfully and politely before
- 11:36I found out he was a pedophile and still looked up to him as
- 11:40one of the people that might be able to help educate me
- 11:43biblically and all this. I told him some of the views
- 11:48that I was looking into, that some of the philosophy I
- 11:50adopted. Instead of patiently and
- 11:53politely enduring this and taking me in and trying to teach
- 11:58me a different way of doing things, instead he decided to
- 12:02make stream after stream trying to humiliate me and embarrass
- 12:06me. I'd already told him in private
- 12:09that I have my own personal problems, I have my own issues,
- 12:12and I'm trying to figure out my way, trying to figure out the
- 12:15best way to serve God. He knowing all this, he took
- 12:20everything that I told him and basically rammed it directly up
- 12:24my ass. And that's what he did.
- 12:28Since then, Josh has had relationships with homosexuals.
- 12:35He has made streams where he makes homosexuality out to be a
- 12:41joke because he knows that he actually entertained it and
- 12:44experienced it. And a majority of you out there
- 12:47know that I'm not one of these like super strict Christians.
- 12:51Although I know biblically it's wrong that homosexuality is
- 12:55considered an abomination to God, I don't slam it down
- 12:59homosexuals throats. I don't tell them how they ought
- 13:03to live. I assume that they already know
- 13:05what God thinks about it and what the Bible says.
- 13:08I'm not one of these people where I feel like I got to beat
- 13:11people over the head with the Bible repeatedly.
- 13:14You've been told once. You've probably been told by
- 13:16everybody else. You don't need to be reminded
- 13:18daily. You are basically the master of
- 13:22your own destiny. You're going to pull your own
- 13:24strings and you're either going to lead yourself to God or
- 13:27straight to hell. No need for me to assist you in
- 13:31that process. So before knowing that Josh was
- 13:36a pedophile, he had done everything he possibly could to
- 13:39RIP me down, tear me down, try to harm me in my faith because I
- 13:44was a new believer. I was trying to find my tracks.
- 13:50I was always honest about that. To me, going from atheism to
- 13:55Christianity was not a simple move, especially since I had a
- 14:02lot on the line. Reputation, ego, obviously the
- 14:08position of being an authority, a mouthpiece.
- 14:12People looked up to me. People respected me as a non
- 14:15believer back when I was an atheist.
- 14:19Giving that all up meant that I was going to lose a lot of
- 14:22friends. It meant I was going to lose a
- 14:24lot of time. It meant that I was going to
- 14:26have to look back on everything I ever said or ever did and say
- 14:30that I was wrong and accept accountability and then try to
- 14:36live a completely different lifestyle and philosophy than I
- 14:42ever could. One of the most difficult,
- 14:44challenging lifestyles I've ever.
- 14:46The lifestyle of trying to be a Christian, trying to serve God
- 14:51and trying to make altruistic sacrifices and such when I
- 14:57already had this very little to give in the 1st place.
- 15:01I still gave it all. I got praise.
- 15:06I am was one of those Christians where even though he was going
- 15:09to battle back and forth, not wanting to, not desiring to, but
- 15:13it's got to the point where it happened so much that now it's
- 15:17become a natural mode for him. But before he tried everything
- 15:21he could to be friendly with Smokey, Smokey decided he wanted
- 15:27to smash a whole lot of Christians out there because
- 15:31they found out what he was. They found out that he was a
- 15:35criminal, and he turned on a lot of people who would have given
- 15:42the shirt off of their back for him.
- 15:45You know, I obviously wasn't the only one.
- 15:48For some reason, Smokey went postal and started attacking
- 15:52everyone in every direction. Anyone that criticized him was
- 15:56considered an enemy for life, a foe that needed to, a corpse
- 16:00that needed to be buried. There was no way to rationalize
- 16:05or have any kind of logical discussion.
- 16:09When I returned after all this time of taking a break from
- 16:12YouTube, I'd actually considered going in and trying to talk to
- 16:16him and actually forgive him for the things he did to me.
- 16:22I considered that. Instead, I found myself in his
- 16:25text chat and I discovered that he had gotten married to a a
- 16:31young woman who claims that she actually spent time in my live
- 16:35rooms in the past. And I simply found myself
- 16:39congratulating them. And it wasn't long before a
- 16:44Smokey and Will started dropping mockery towards me and insulting
- 16:50me. Like, you know, a day didn't
- 16:53pass, like time didn't even move for them.
- 16:59It was like they were trying on one hand to be friendly and
- 17:02nice, but on the other hand, they apparently kept a lot of
- 17:06clips where they used to mock me still in their database to
- 17:10insult me. And it was sad.
- 17:15It was like, well, OK, I had hoped that I could just let
- 17:20bygones be bygones. I was hoping that I could just
- 17:23simply say whatever. But then it even got worse.
- 17:28Smokey attacked my friend TTOR simply because my friend is a
- 17:33young Earther TTOR. Although he comes off like a
- 17:38very optimistic, good person, TTOR has got a lot of his own
- 17:42personal stress and aggravation he has to go through.
- 17:46It's just that he doesn't bother wasting his time talking about
- 17:49it publicly because he knows a lot of people on social media
- 17:53doesn't care. He's the type of guy that has
- 17:56this philosophy that if you got problems and issues and you're
- 17:59going to have to take care of it yourself.
- 18:02And he's done really well for himself, but he was minding his
- 18:05own business. Smokey comes over, starts hating
- 18:09on him simply because he believes the Earth is some
- 18:14amount of years that don't agree with his view of it.
- 18:18I'm not a young earther myself, ladies and gentlemen.
- 18:22That's still one of those things that I haven't got around to
- 18:26going through. I've listened to Kent Tobin
- 18:28countless times and other Youtubers, other friends of mine
- 18:33who are young earthers, and I haven't been able to get around
- 18:35to it. But the point is, I don't feel
- 18:38at all any kind of desire to attack them and argue with them.
- 18:44I've always been more than happy to have an open discussion about
- 18:47things that other Christians may not believe the same way I do.
- 18:53Always willing to have an open discussion, but I don't want to
- 18:57argue with someone or make them feel like they're being
- 18:59interrogated because I'm not their judge, I'm not their, I'm
- 19:05not God. I can tell them that I have an
- 19:09interest in why they have the perspective they do, but there's
- 19:13absolutely no reason in my heart where I need to battle someone
- 19:17to the death over Scripture. The whole idea is that we're all
- 19:22in the same boat and we need to paddle together towards God, not
- 19:27toss people off into the ocean or water and all this.
- 19:34Unless of course, they fit the context of this Bible passage
- 19:37that I have sitting up on the screen.
- 19:41You know, when I read this verse a while back, I was not aware of
- 19:45something. I always assumed that the verse
- 19:48was talking about just children. I always thought it would meant
- 19:52that if you hurt children or you cause children to stumble or you
- 19:55cause children to sin, that God would prefer you to just tie
- 20:01some, you know, tie a rope around your neck and jump into
- 20:04the sea and none of that passes. Does it say that Jesus is
- 20:09forgiving people who hurt children?
- 20:12But there was something else that I noticed too.
- 20:16It wasn't just talking about little kids and kids that are
- 20:19undeveloped or ignorant or don't know any better.
- 20:23It's also talking about people who are babes in Christ.
- 20:26If someone comes along and and messes with a person who's just
- 20:30trying to find God and trying to develop as a Christian,
- 20:36transform into a, you know, get rid of the, the dead and become
- 20:41the living. It's just as bad as causing the
- 20:45child to stumble because you're what's happening is if you
- 20:49traumatize a child or someone who's trying to find their
- 20:53faith, then you may be the very person who puts your foot on
- 20:59their head and pushes them directly into the flames.
- 21:02You may have destroyed their life.
- 21:04How do you explain that when you get to Judgement Day and you're
- 21:07standing before God, that you abused people, that you hurt
- 21:12people, especially those who are babes in Christ or children,
- 21:16physical, biological children? I don't think that you can ask
- 21:24God to let that pass, especially if what you did caused or
- 21:29determined someone's direction down the dark Rd.
- 21:37I don't know So I believe that I've learned something new.
- 21:45I I've always liked to hold on to the idea that God is
- 21:49forgiving of all things. Well I like to believe that.
- 21:53But now I realize after looking at the Bible and and scratching
- 21:58through the surface, I realize at this point I have evolved
- 22:02from a babe in Christ to someone who is actually able to
- 22:07minister, someone who can teach. I have consumed knowledge and
- 22:12information and at this point I see it as their my discernment
- 22:19skills have become more powerful.
- 22:22They've become more sharp as they were not in the beginning
- 22:25whenever I spent time with some of you people out there.
- 22:31To me, there are some Christians out there where you're still
- 22:35making mistakes and you're still sometimes finding yourself in
- 22:39your flesh, but there's still hope for you.
- 22:42There's still light. Yes, you've called some names.
- 22:46Yes, you've jumped into the mud with the pigs, but you still
- 22:53believe in God, you still love God, and you still want to
- 22:56serve. You're having a moment that's
- 22:59bad right now. You're having an issue where the
- 23:02community is fighting each other, but they're still good in
- 23:06you. You haven't become a a
- 23:08completely bad person, but Josh, you are the same person that
- 23:13you've always been. You have become evil.
- 23:17You've become dark and you don't care who you hurt.
- 23:20You don't care how old they are. You don't care who's listening.
- 23:24You Attack, Attack and ain't nobody mean or praise.
- 23:30I am TTOR or Proverbs. None of us are claiming to be
- 23:35perfect. We're not claiming to be
- 23:37wonderful. But what we are not doing is
- 23:40we're not pedophiles, we're not criminals, and we're not
- 23:44deliberately or intentionally trying to cause anybody to fall.
- 23:48That's where you are. It's almost as if you get some
- 23:52kind of sexual orgasm off of trying to destroy other people.
- 23:58You don't care who they are, what they are.
- 24:01And some people might actually admire that.
- 24:03Oh, he'll attack anybody, he'll fight anybody, he'll destroy
- 24:07anybody. He'll try to ruin anybody that
- 24:10he possibly can. Some people like that kind of
- 24:12attitude. They like the bad boy thing.
- 24:15I don't. I'm not wanting to be around
- 24:18that kind of nonsense. If I wanted that, I would have
- 24:20remained a Christian. Not a Christian, but an atheist.
- 24:24And just continue to dwell in darkness with the rest of the
- 24:27lost. I'm looking for something better
- 24:30in my life. I'm looking to be a better
- 24:33person. I'm looking to be a person who
- 24:36wants to be accountable. A person that takes
- 24:38responsibility and then moves forward from it for better
- 24:43things, greener grass, that kind of thing.
- 24:49Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to fail.
- 24:52I'm going to make mistakes. Sometimes I'm going to think
- 24:56wrong things, sometimes I'm going to say wrong things.
- 25:01But I would never do it deliberately or intentionally.
- 25:03I'm always willing to learn, I'm always open minded and I always
- 25:07have a open heart. But I do believe there are some
- 25:10things that are not redeemable, things that simply can't be
- 25:14forgiven. And what I'm saying, Josh, is
- 25:17that I, I have no desire whatsoever to forgive you and my
- 25:21heart and my mind and my soul. I think what you've done is
- 25:26devastating. And I think that you have
- 25:29tainted a lot of people's walk with God.
- 25:33I think that you have caused and directed people to a very, very
- 25:40bad place for them. And I think that it's going to
- 25:44cause physical and emotional and spiritual destruction for many
- 25:48out there. I mean, look at Kenny Rhodes.
- 25:51You could have supported him. You could have encouraged him to
- 25:54do the right thing. Instead, you encouraged him to
- 25:57be vicious and nasty. You could have told him to go to
- 26:01a doctor, seek therapy, get on medication.
- 26:04That way he didn't start calling people on the phone and
- 26:07threatening to harm them and violence and all this.
- 26:11You had to have known that eventually your own friend would
- 26:15end up in no man's land. But she did nothing.
- 26:21Even though you considered him one of the greatest friends
- 26:24ever, and he stood up for you. He was loyal.
- 26:28What were you though? You did nothing.
- 26:33You let him fall. So here's what's going to happen
- 26:40now. I don't want to be involved in
- 26:43your nonsense. There is an overabundance of
- 26:46Christians out there who they absolutely despise you, and
- 26:53they're going to probably spend the rest of their time on social
- 26:57media exposing you repeatedly. I don't want to be a part of
- 27:02that game. I got so many other things on
- 27:06the table, so many other things on my plate, and I feel like
- 27:11you've already been thoroughly destroyed like a demon that has
- 27:13been exposed to the light. I don't want to spend all of my
- 27:18existence dealing with you or any of these other bastards out
- 27:22here on the Internet who are terrible like yourself, worse,
- 27:26or even a little less. I just want to work on my music,
- 27:32my books, my life, be positive for my family, learn as much as
- 27:39I can, continue to be the student, and learn and
- 27:44strengthen my relationship with God.
- 27:46This is where I'm at. I want to be able to do live
- 27:49shows and I want to have good discussions with atheists and
- 27:53religious people. I don't want to allow myself to
- 27:57be in a position where I'm attacking, attacking, attacking,
- 28:00or fighting people. I want to be able to sow seeds.
- 28:05I want to actually serve God and not just talk about it.
- 28:10There's a lot of times where I don't feel like I was actually
- 28:12sowing anything. I was just Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep,
- 28:16Yep. And what's the difference
- 28:18between that and a sadity? This is called accountability.
- 28:24You hold yourself responsible for what you've done, and you
- 28:28try to learn from it and move forward.
- 28:30That's what I'm doing. And I don't know if there's any
- 28:33hope for you whatsoever at this point.
- 28:36I don't think that there is. I can't find one single reason
- 28:42in my creative, imaginative mind why anybody should forgive you
- 28:46or give you any opportunities or chance.
- 28:52You know, that's, that's that TTOR is one of the nicest, most
- 28:59kindest people there is. Proverbs guy.
- 29:01He's one of the nicest, most chill, open minded people teach
- 29:07you are the type of guy that if you just talk to him and discuss
- 29:11with them, he'll be more than happy to spend hours with you
- 29:14hanging out and and having good conversations.
- 29:18He doesn't have a spiteful mean bone in his body, but he's also
- 29:23the type of man who doesn't doesn't allow people to kick
- 29:27dust in his face. He's not going to let you kick
- 29:31dirt in his face. So choices, that's really what
- 29:39it comes down to, folks. Choices.
- 29:45And Josh, before you get all pissed off and angry and think
- 29:49that the world's against you and you didn't do anything wrong
- 29:52kind of thing, you keep in mind that not one of these people
- 29:57wouldn't you first you did this. You attacked every single one of
- 30:02these people. You initiated war with TTOR.
- 30:05You initiated war with praise. I was there.
- 30:09You've went off on Beckel. You went off on every Christian
- 30:13out there. And maybe the reason why you
- 30:18attacked all these people is because it made you angry that
- 30:23they had the kind of respect that they had in the community
- 30:26is where you felt like the only way you could get popular was by
- 30:30destroying other people. Maybe it's jealousy.
- 30:34Maybe it's envy. Maybe you realize that just
- 30:39being able to spew out some Bible verses every once in a
- 30:42while and argue simply isn't enough to work out right with
- 30:48God or people. There's something wrong with
- 30:54you. Maybe one day you'll fix it.
- 30:59But they say you can't teach a dog new tricks.
- 31:01Old dog at least. So people, let this be a lesson
- 31:08to you. You know, make your bed, sleep
- 31:11in it kind of deal. Empty streets below something in
- 31:35the.
