wow, I can hardly believe this except that I can. I'm so sorry this happened and good for all of you for upholding your truth and staying with life as you choose it. May the force be with you, the forces of love and truth and happiness that is!

This shows you are making an impact...love is an amazingly real threat to the establishment.

Agreed! We know we got their attention and they obviously felt really uncomfortable. We are definitely out of the norm. I am certain they've never had a SWAT raid like this before. we offered them breakfast while they held us at gunpoint, even to lay down their guns and bring their families here and we would feed them, reminding them they don't have to hold guns to people's heads to make ends meet. We are grateful to all be safe. Love and light were definitely on our side! Thank you for your comments.

@everlove is amazing - who else would offer to feed the SWAT team raiding their property???

Hahahaha---don't think I've ever heard of anyone! But it is who we are. I'm sure they could feel it. That's likely why we are still alive. Loving them anyway has made all the difference. I'm certain they would have liked to have just made us go away!! Now they made us stronger. There is no denying we made an impact. Funny how the community loves us anyway--the firemen, bankers, postal workers and other local businesses too. Love is the answer!

Also they don't like anyone who doesn't conform to their idea of what is "normal". It is due to prejudice too plus they are making the authorities look bad by doing some of the stuff that they are supposed to do but don't - like feeding hungry people.

We are anything but the standard definition of "normal". We wonder what the community would look like if the authorities chose instead to use the $350K of taxpayer dollars towards bettering society, like putting in public gardens or playgrounds...or feeding people. This is why we are so vocal about living VALUES!

Yes. It is sad but I doubt it will change any time soon. Keep doing what you are doing - it makes a difference and that makes it important.
