1970's hippy preacher

[Joe]

Listen to the pastors words at 10:25. I guess he helped some people, but it is pretty strange.

Are you referring to the comment about not needing whites? That's a reference to drugs, not people.

I've got a hippy bible around here somewhere. I'll post pictures when I can.

Oh I see, Arthur Blessed. He made a few records.

[Joe]

That is why it is so strange, how he is talking about Scripture using drug jargon. "Get loaded on the lord", ..."a righteous peak"... it is crazy.

Do you have some of his records Staro?
I think the hippy Bible could be amusing.

I don't have any of Blessed's records. I know of one that is semi-collectible but I've only seen a copy once in my travels. You wouldn't know it from the video but some cool music came out of that "Jesus Freak" scene.

Here's a couple more;

That is actually pretty good.

That same book was used in my Saturday morning Roman Catholic Catechism classes sometime in the 1970s/1980s.
Along with a diluted version of the Bible, "The Good News Bible" similar to this picture below
(but ours did not have the Apocrypha)

An interesting article about the cult associated with one well known "Jesus Freak" rock band;

I've heard this band, I have a compilation LP with some of their songs. This is the first I've heard of their cult though.
