1. Bruce, as I listened to your testimony this morning a few things came to mind. Often times a speaker will do one of two things. Embellish their own story, and/or share something so out of the box that it entices the listener(s) to act on it. By nature I am a suspicious person, however, I was brought to tears & convicted. I am a continued work in progress & I loathe the times I am not transparent. It is impossible to be a person of integrity if one is not convicted. Therefore, I thank you for the encouragement to look inwardly, allow myself to be convicted, & act on it.
2. I'll just keep my comments private.
3. What about telling your family your sibling raped you? Not so easy. All will be hurt and suffer. You are shattering a whole familial community forever.
4. One minute in and already with the 'raise your hand if' bullshit. WE GET Y'ALL WENT TO THE SAME PUBLIC SPEAKING SEMINARS. Ted is such a living meme lol.
5. If you are living in a highly religious community and you lose the faith after doing a lot of thinking, it might be worth keeping it to yourself.
6. people here being racist read only the most liked comments :V
7. we are not coca colas
8. Don't care about you or your whore mom, f...c. Ing racist shit head.
9. The I really need to listen to another speech of white guilt??Oh please....
10. Such a great speech. I agree completely
11. All secrets are a problem (no matter the secret) even government secrets allow them to perpetuate evil.
    
    This can only make sense to someone who unreservedly believes in light and darkness.
    
    All secrets are inspired by darkness and they halp to keep us in darkness.
    
    The interesting thing is ultimately all those who rule have done so through conquest and murder. The best human beings will choose to be killed rather than commit certain forms evil themselves, Jesus and he's early followers would be a good example.
    
    So until ultimate reality, light,God comes back and takes ownership of this earth---those willing to murder steal and rob will always have some advantages in this world.
    
    You will only be blind to this if you don't see that the biggest criminals on the planet are the biggest governments and co-orporations(companies).
12. it's not racist when you see that statistically speaking that blacks or latinos ARE more likely to commit crimes...including stealing your car...that's called a FACT. Idiots like this spreading false narratives are the reason crimes is through the roof.
13. the teds have really gone for a dump, haven't they.
14. nice i like the talk, im worried for john tho haha his wife must have killed him
15. For fucks sake, if the talk is about being truthful and consequently being alive, then why can't you be honest with your clickbait title?
    
    This was a good talk. But the thing that prevented me from watching it for months/years was the title. It's like having a piece of delicious chocolate marketed as cod-liver oil.
16. Nice talk.
    As a white guy married to a black woman, I had a similar experience in Cuba living in a black neighborhood, in a black household, with a black mother-in-law, black sisters-in-law, and I also felt I was black.
17. I have actually done this in the past year and I happened across this video. It is liberating to be honest. I highly recommend trying it; it is freeing!!!!!
18. I agree with the importance of revealing your secrets and living an authentic life. Keeping a childhood secret ate away at me inside until I was compelled to share. Things did get worse before they got better, but I was liberated and there was a space within me for forgiveness. Your talk inspired me to do this with some smaller secrets as well. Thank you for sharing your courageous story Bruce.
19. How's things going in South Africa in 2017?????
    
    Look at the Data???? Thing about Reality,its Real!!
