"We're not supporting the commune that's living off welfare" - well said!

[@steve41557]

"I will not give people money who don't take our advice."

[@shannon2748]

@RedPilled View Don't take others' money if it comes with strings. It's a no win situation.

[@AnnMitt]

Hippies living on welfare. Absolutely maddening.

[@jimroscovius]

The government needs to cut the scammers off.

[@DarlingStudent]

Linda, in case you are seeing this, I will be praying for you, sister. I hope your daughter and son-in-law see the light soon. God bless.

[@sweetviciousmellons]

I would NOT tell the adult child that there is a saving account because it takes away the respectability of care for the baby in the long run. However, i would still save money for the baby and the only time i will tell them is when the baby is 18 and is going to college.

[@shannon2748]

I agree. Why even bring it up now? Wait 18 years. It will save a lot of arguing.

[@perryh.5306]

If I was your son....I'd be giving you my money anyway...so it wouldn't matter..lol

[@ijeomaemenanjo1758]

This lady wants to make a person ,”see the light”. News flash, regardless of your intentions, ppl do whatever they want to do, and will change only when they hit some sort of rock bottom. Preaching to them from the Bible is commendable, but your best option is to pray for them and wait until they get an awakening.

[@DrogoBaggins987]

Sometimes when adult children go bonkers they are actually pulling back the curtain on the actual quality of the parenting they got. This lady might be okay but you can't tell in a couple minutes on the radio.

[@patticarey9016]

I disagree with Dave that this lady should tell her daughter and this cult leader that she's not leaving any money to them in her will.that really serves no purpose and they have no business knowing what is in her will anyway

[@gigi8528]

That poor unborn child!

[@Division1xerox]

Thanks for all the advice. I'll keep watching your videos as a reference for life skills because quite frankly my parents haven't taught me anything about anything and they've never been involved with anything in my life. I'm an only child and I have had to learn a lot of lessons the hard way, but I somehow manage to scrape by, but I have always wanted to try to do a little better than just a scrape by. I was told to move out of my mom's place at 17 after graduation from highschool because she didn't want me there anymore because in her mind as soon as highschool is over you have to leave and rented my own apartment, got my own government student loan (paid it off myself too) and went to community college and graduated with 98% and earned a diploma in office reception and medical assistance. I paid my own way without even a moving out card from either of my parents. I have had to work to buy anything and at times it's been really hard and have lived on cereal many times but I think you're right when things are just handed to you like some people I know those people never seem truly happy and seemingly don't really appreciate it or understand the significance of all the things they've been given, whereas people that haven't had that type of life show the most gratitude and have better survival skills.. so I suppose that's silver lining in my life. Anyways Im rambling now, I just basically to put a long story short wanted to say thanks for all that you do.

[@zuzanaxyz8866]

How can I biblically extort my child to do what I THINK is right? I don’t know how these people live, but as long as they don’t ask you for your support, it’s none of your business…

[@nhgriff1]

Make sure the money isn't left to the grandchild until he is old enough to leave the commune. Otherwise, HE will share it with them!

[@eargesplitten9876]

St Augustine chose poverty, but on the other hand he wasn’t living off of welfare.

[@georgewagner7787]

The system shouldn't allow it. Able bodied people need to work. I've had stage 4 cancer for 5 years and still work part time . I finally accepted medicaid bc I probably won't get back all the social security I paid in.

[@DisabilityExams]

Set up a trust fund for the grandchild - you can have it pay out so much per month/year, with the child unable to access the principal to whatever age you choose. Let the daughter and son in law make their own decisions.

[@ThienNguyen24]

"give so much, take on government assistance" lol

[@nateg0140]

This isn't Biblical. Your family and household comes first! Once your own household is in order, then you can help others. This sounds like a cult. Get them out of it!

[@Beanhill_94]

They wanna live in a commune then they can. But not on the government's money. And if they can't provide for their children then what's the point.

[@src4409]

You just can't help people that don't want to be helped. My 28 year old brother wanted my advice on buying a used car from a dealer. He was convinced his Honda was a lemon. Turns out that is possibly damaged by the dealer that did work to it. He had a full, bumper to bumper extended warranty on it that would have put an engine in it. He sold it to carvana and has proceeded to call my parents and I multiple times over the last 2 days freaking out about the decision he made to buy a 25k used car. Luckily he had 30 days to return it, but when I told him car payments are the death of wealth building he said that he's not trying to build wealth... he just needs to buy a car.

[@jimroscovius]

I'll never understand why people want to be idiots.

[@user-tm4my4jb6d]

I think his answer is good. I mean it is judgmental, but like he said. Just put that money away and the child can decide when they grow up. And if the mess hits the fan then just protect them.

[@josie3096]

Prayer and fasting!

[@gambers20001]

What an Impatient Woman.

[@gambers20001]

This women strikes me as very judgmental. No Wonder They Left This Woman

[@MrAceman82]

:), but bad things makes people impatient sometimes

[@AhmedXbox]

"Cult leader"...LOL

[@debrawilliams7983]

A college fund only lasts as long a person is in college. What about after college? I believe this woman should have them put this money in a Trust that her Daughter and Son in Law can't petition the court to live off of!

[@tripleekitchen...6676]

After college, the child have to get a. Job.

[@stevekopcial129]

If your children do it right the government will pay for the childs College education... and dont assume there will be only one grandchild... Watch in the next five years how your kids needs will grow and they will try and put it in your lap...

[@sagrammyfour]

I live in San Antonio. What is the name of this cult?

[@tripleekitchen...6676]

😂🤣😂🤣

[@shannon2748]

Mormons???

[@mopnem]

Dave: “he’s a cult leader!”...minutes later: “so buy my book on god!”

[@georgewagner7787]

Sounds like a cult

[@jillianmcallister1012]

This commune sounds great lol

[@BassPlayer60134]

What wackadoodle denomination is this guy a part of?

[@you_can_just_do_things]

Sounds like it's more of a cult than a denomination...

[@BassPlayer60134]

Yes, but I'm hesitant to throw out the "C word" unless I have enough information. My gut reaction, though, is no legit Christian would have this viewpoint.

[@BassPlayer60134]

The way they are living doesn't sound very Christian. And no Christians I know would think the way they are doing things is ok.

[@buffymcmuffin5361]

Yes, Dave is Christian, but I think BassPlayer is asking what denomination is the hippie commune.

[@BassPlayer60134]

Yes, of course. I believe Dave is an evangelical non-denom. (Non-denominational is self-contradictory but I'll let it go for now :p )

[@nickbailiff575]

approach them biblically? what a joke

[@Justmeeeee813]

Dave’s got some trolls.🙄

[@bigroy38]

Nut burger!!

[@jeffmatthew1]

Read to him Matthew 19:24

[@mammothorbust]

Interesting. But what about 1 Timothy 5:8, doesn't that apply too?

[@sarahburggraf861]

Call children services!

[@sunshinelawfan7693]

Sarah Burggraf - nope. CPS harvests kids for foster inventory. Foster custody is toxic.

[@darqblue42]

Love it when Christians talk about "cult leaders" rofl 😂

[@JonO387]

So funny to hear a religious person talking about brainwashing like it's something they don't like.

[@MzBabsie]

...or participate in themselves. Love Dave, love the steps and the process and I completely respect any individual's right to believe or practice ANY teaching that gives them peace and hope. To assume "our indoctrination is better than theirs" because it's not what one may personally practice is foolish. It's all BS (belief systems)

[@droptozro]

Sorry that neither of you understand biblical marriage. Nothing about having to have a state license to be married in the bible. It's ignorant of tons of marriages in the Bible. Go with Jacob for just one example... he got married on accident sleeping with the sister of the woman he wanted. Obviously nothing about vows and such there or that wouldn't have been possible.

[@droptozro]

That's irrelevant. The state does not marry, God does. Homosexuals will never be married despite whatever they delude themselves into believing. Point is, the couple got married by God. I don't know this for sure but I have a feeling this mother in law is skewing things from her point of view. My wife and I went off and joined a church farther away at one point and family members had all sorts of unfounded accusations about the other members and the pastors.

[@BassPlayer60134]

Dave would advocate marriage being both because the state aspect provides legal protections that a merely spiritual contract couldn't enforce. You may be right about the mom, there could be a bias.

[@OrisueCrew]

I love when Dave talks money, but he should really stay away from trying to be a therapist. I mean calling the guy a occult leader? Lol really?

[@john1425]

Jesus explicitly said not to save. Read the sermon on the mount.

[@gretelhance]

We're to leave an inheritance

[@john1425]

@@gretelhance I guess nobody told the disciples that before they abandoned their families

[@craiggardner5525]

Dave have you been to this commune before actually judging it? Didn’t Jesus and his motley disciples start out as a cult?
