I'd bet they were shocked that the USSR fell, but the USA now has an anti CHRISTIAN commie in the white house.
An amazing story.
At the same time, I can’t help but think that a little more knowledge could have made their lives a lot better. Like different ways of cooking after their pots and pans disintegrated. Or how to tan leather. A good reminder on things I need to practice before I need them.
Thank you so much for posting this. I don’t know when I’ve read anything so moving and such a powerful testimonial to the spirit of man and religious freedom.
Night time stories of their dreams and waiting for the precious rye seed to grow. I would like to hear some of those stories of their dreams.
Wonder if Glenn Beck has read of this?
“A man lives for howsoever God grants.” Dimitry
Reader comments were also fascinating especially the idiots who blame this family’s fate on their strong religious beliefs.
I guess these idiots have no knowledge of the hundred millions killed by godless communism.
One of the better responses to the commenter known as Raymond:
“@raymond: “Once again religion shows it’s ability to completely overpower rational thought and make a total mess of peoples lives. A truly sad story.” —Yes how irrational it was for those Christians to not stand still and make it easier for Stalin’s thugs to kill them. They truly messed up their lives by not letting themselves be murdered. On a more serious note, this is an amazing story, and the Lykov’s have lived incredible, amazingly different and amazingly full lives.”
it is totally rational - inherently human - to want to live free. the extent some have to go to to do so is amazing.
Them standing around guarding one shoot night and day to get 8 seeds for next year, wild stuff.
Also the part about them marking the appearance of artificial sattelites, and thinking it was something man-made.
Freegards, thanks for all the threads on FR
