[From a "prophecy interview" with River Phoenix's ghost, called River Bares All]


Q: You know how everyone was suspecting you and Keanu of
being gay. Was it true?
A: Keanu and I were like close brothers. We did love each other, but not in that way. We both wanted to buck the System. We wanted to get away from the image that they tried to give us, the labels that they tried to hang on us. We made the mistake of making that movie, My Own Private Idaho. It was very degrading, degenerate. That was the movie I'm the most sorry for, because of the effect it had - not only on my life, as that movie was my downfall - but it also affected others' lives, as we were telling them that it's okay to be gay.
Well, it's not okay! It's filthy! And that movie was my biggest mistake, for which I'm very sorry! Keanu and I made a decision that we wouldn't speak up against gays, which in itself is saying that it's okay. And I'm sorry for that. But, no, we are not [gays]. We were just very close friends, and I love him very much.

Q: I was wondering if you ever thought back to when you were younger, and in the Family. Did you believe anything that people told you about your past?
A: I was very young when my parents left the Family. It was very confusing for me because they had taught me to love the Lord, and to love Grandpa, Papa Lion.And I did. I loved him very much, and everything the Family stood for. My sister and I would perform on the streets, singing and playing guitar, and we really enjoyed it. We were very happy. It was beautiful. People loved us and we were very fulfilled.
Then suddenly they uprooted us and went back to the System, back to the Whore, back to America. They started teaching us new things, different things, things that were contrary to what we had learned in the Family. And slowly, slowly we drifted away. Our beliefs changed, our faith changed, and as I got older I started to hear negative things about the Family.
It was sad, because my faith had died. But deep inside my heart I still loved Jesus. Deep inside my heart I still wanted what I had had as a child. I wanted that freedom. I wanted to be able to serve the Lord, like you guys, but it was all very confusing to me. I was very confused, and very lonely. And though I was very famous and made lots of money, I was very lonely, and cried and cried and cried.

Q: Is there meaning to the name
"Hollywood"?
A: Hollywood is a spiritual place - a wicked, spiritual place. It's very anti-Christ, and it's run by anti-Christs who are trying to infiltrate the world with their propaganda. It's very rare that they give any credit or glory to Jesus.
Usually they defame Him, and spit on His name. It is a wicked place, and that's why there are certain ones that the Lord lays on your heart to pray for. He asks you to pray for some of those who He knows are searching for deliverance, for the truth, for a way out, from that den of iniquity. But God will have His way. You'll see. He will destroy that place for the evil it has spread throughout the world.

Q: Is there anything you think it's especially important for us Family teens to know?
A: When I died I was only 23, so I was just coming out of teenhood. When I came to Heaven, the Lord gave me the opportunity to serve Him with the Family, because of the prayers that were prayed for me. I was able to work along with some of the teens then who had come to Heaven, some of the kids that were Here, and later the girls from the Austin accident.
I saw the potential that the Family teens have. I saw what I could have had, had I grown up in the Family. I saw that a lot of young people in the Family feel unhappy and discontented, and compare themselves with those in the System.--And sometimes they compare themselves negatively.

Q: If you had a chance to redo it all, would you choose to stay in the Family? Like, we wouldn't have you talking, you wouldn't be here talking and all that. So would you redo it to stay in the Family, or redo it the same way you did it so we would have this chance?
A: If I had a chance to go back and do it all over, I would stay in the Family, because there is no greater calling on this Earth than to serve the Lord. And there's no greater place to serve the Lord on this Earth than in the Family. So that would be my greatest desire. But if I had a chance to come back and live my life the same way I did, then I would do it differently too.
