I am an athiest, but I do enjoy hearing Cheere's relationship with her faith. I have never heard anyone explain it like this before. I do envy those who believe, but I simply don't after much thinking about it. I was bought up Catholic and checked out around 14, but I do have an extremely strong moral compass, stronger, unfortunately than a lot of religious people, which is why its great to hear Cheere talk about it.😊
Makes you wonder if Mimi saying she didn’t look on her relationship with JFK as a bad thing, is her justifying it in a way she can live with it. People lie to themselves all the time as a way to deal with trauma.
Or maybe she’s just being honest about enjoying the excitement of it all. She was old enough to know what she was doing, and is obviously recognising that.
This is what I was trying to say but doing so much less eloquently. It's so very hard to stand back, I mean one just doesn't have the gift of time and the perspective it brings.
@@Indoforscots-s2l True, but it doesn’t mean she didn’t realize later that he was just using her body and had no interest in her as a person whatsoever.
Most people do not want to face the fact that they were used and abused by someone who saw them as nothing more than a receptacle to deposit bodily fluids in. Especially when they keep going back for more, more, and more.
Cheere, at 61, with a many experiences and lessons having singed my once virgin soul, I am surprised to find myself utterly moved by your conviction and character. Though typically suspicious of proselytizers, I see in you a person that takes her burden of life very seriously and is exercising her abundance of powers to develop her best self for personal salvation and love of humanity. I truly respect you.
I asked a friend from Massachusetts why people were loyal to the Kennedys there, she said it was like when communities in Italy wouldn’t expose the mafia because they built their schools, etc… Thank you as always🙏🏻
@@debbrand8106 I’m from Massachusetts. The hero worship of the kennedys, specifically Jack, was insane. It’s lessened now but growing up, all my Irish catholic friends had pictures of him hanging on their walls.

In the early 90s all his philandering started coming out and I made a snide joke about it to a friend. She was SO OFFENDED, as if I had insulted her own father. So weird.
Cheere Denise, thank you so much for your willingness to stand and so eloquently say our value comes from God because we are created in His image. So well said.
yes but sometimes our humanity and true nature get reprogrammed and disrupted by traumas of all kinds. you're fortunate if you reach adulthood with your true nature still intact.
I would agree with you for the most part but I’ve been watching several interviews about Queen Elizabeth 2 & Prince Phillip. I think they’re the exception to that rule.

Preach it, sister! Knowing who you are in Jesus is wisdom. But following the heart is not - the heart lies. Too many of us have learned this the hard way.
Hi Cheere, great read. Regarding the comparison of Mimi and Monica, there was such a difference in the societal culture of the 60s and the 90s. While I'm not judging Monica, she was more 'worldly' than Mimi at 19. That said, the power imbalance between the president of the US and an anonymous young girl is such that she will always be in an untenable position. Power corrupts in a lot of ways.
Yes, young women were more worldly in the’90s. However, when you toss the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES into the mix, it raises it to a whole new level!
I really wish i had found Christ when i was young! My own father messed with me & my mother suspected, so she tried beating me up! I also searched for fulfilment & love in all the useless, unloving relationships! I was spiritually born again at 29! So glad i go to a church with great teaching of the whole gospel!
Thank you, Cheere! I love your commentary and I feel so very sorry for these women that JFK took such horrible advantage of. He was indeed a sexual predator. Their self-worth must have been very low once he discarded them. I cannot imagine how this chapter affected them and their memories of a powerful man who was the President of our country! How very sad and yes, it outrages me as well.
Your perspective on our personal dignity and worth, relating it to Christ and how he showed us who we are, is beautiful. Yeah through my early twenties I was still trying to find it in other things, and yet he was patient with me. Now I'm in my 60's and he continues to show me more. Expect great things as you get older..... Thank you.
Wow! You use this channel as your testimony. You brought me to tears today. I'm 54 and struggle to have meaning and hope in my life. I really love you!
There was a woman in JFK's life who wasn't covered in this book named Mary Meyer. She was murdered about a year after him. Her story is detailed in Mary's Mosaic. It gives a detailed picture of Washington during that time. Not only does it cover JFK but also the CIA and Timothy Leary makes an appearance. It's not boring.
Mary Meyer was a fascinating person. JFK’s relationship with her was far more than sexual. Mary was married to a top CIA official. Her sister was married to the famous Ben Bradlee. The circumstances of her murder were very mysterious. The LSD angle comes in because the CIA was allegedly experimenting in its possible uses at the time. Mary allegedly dropped acid with JFK.
I love that you show your faith and how it should lead the life of a believer, yet still say how we can still go astray. Thanks so much for including that in this chapter!!
Jesus never said follow your dreams or your bliss, but to take up a sword, put on the armor and follow Him. Your book reviews which I just discovered are delightful, very well done, the commentary always sits well with me and looking to Jesus will never steer you wrong. Thank you ma’am 👏🙏
Great chapter although I found it quite sad! It was a bad feeling knowing these two young women were definitely heading for an unhappy ending to their relationship fantasies. I’m not saying they were completely without agency but more that it was clear they really had no idea how little JFK thought of them.
I have a hard time thinking JFK was a Catholic.. Lots of people identify Catholic, but they are not. Their actions excommunicate themselves. He definitely did that!
Poor Mimi. That young, i have no doubt it's not just that he's this powerful man, but she was violated and i imagine it's somewhere wrapped up in coping or survival instinct to try and fit her experience into something that can be called acceptable on some level. You think sex is for intimacy if not marriage alone. How can a young woman imagine it can be seen as something so meaningless, and then as something weaponized. I have two teenage girls who think they know everything and i know they can't imagine such vile cruelty could reach them in a situation they walked into. God bless you for not shaming these women. Being human is messy.
Yes, sex and intimacy were made for marriage. The way God ment it to be. Having young daughters, we try to give then advice to always be on guard. Every teenager or young person thinks they know it all. Been there done that. As parents, we pray for their safety. May the Lord Jesus watch over and protect them. Have a blessed day.
Sadly, some people can't separate the magisterium from the body of faith. The teachings of the faith, since the days of Jesus, John, The Blessed Mother ans all the apostles including Peter, have carried forward. The Kennedy's are just humans. Fallible fallible humans.
He quit the Catholic Church because he loved his sin. JFK had nothing to do with it. A grown man blamed another grown man for the fact that he committed apostasy from the Catholic faith? Amazing. He was such a weakling that he, an adult, blamed another adult for abandoning the faith. Ok. I hope that soothed his conscience.
@@amycarter8497 above ☝️ someone said that they knew someone who abandoned the Catholic faith and blamed it on the Kennedys. I think especially after the president was killed.
I believe these women were star-struck but they had a great deal of fawning tendencies and jfk was probably very adept at spotting that in women. I believe the Kennedys were strangers to guilt and shame.
Cheere, thank you so much for your candor & perspective. I truly enjoy listening to your thoughts about these "kids" which is what they were. Very interesting insight!
Actual adults who should have known better enabled this behavior. Self perseverance is the downfall of society. The staff, all who were looking out for their own careers and access to power, just helped grow the egos and gall of these already narcisstic men.
Yes. A lost opportunity for Dave Powers and others to pull these young girls aside and plant the idea that they were being used for one thing. Doubt it would have landed, though, and then they risked their exciting proximity to power. They were somewhat like these girls. Even Dave had to perform for the sexual satisfaction of JFK it seems.
There but for the grace of G-d....we have no idea how we as individuals would react at that time in history, and/or at all. It's fruitless and arrogant, I think to judge. Speculate, of course, imagine, well, yes, but no one can say with any certainly what they would have had done in another's stead.
I already have enjoyed your opinions and the way you narrate, but the last few minutes at the end of this video? WOW! I absolutely adore you!! Much love from northern Indiana ❤️
I really took the end of your review so much into my heart. I felt the same as a nineteen yr old. Even though I was a child in my mind, I thought I knew so much about life. I forgot about Jesus, in spite of my Catholic education. Now at 62 yrs I now see the light of my savior. I wish I was taught early on in life about how much I was loved by Jesus. All I remember was fear, shame, and sadness. My life was similar to young women in this tragic story. Looking for validation and love everywhere. Now, my biggest struggle is forgiveness. It is pretty hard for me to forgive myself, never mind all the abusers. Thank You Cheere, your insight is very profound, and valuable to me, and most likely everyone. ❤
Nothing more disgusting than powerful people. Great review and I love your compassion for the girl in her humiliation, as we all have experienced making decisions we regret as we come up.
Mimi's book goes into a lot of detail. She was young and confused about that time. If my memory is correct Dave Powers also spoke of Mimi to more than one author. The drug episode was one of the more troubling incidents.
That poolside scene of Mimi ‘taking the edge off’ of Dave Powers at the pleasure of the President🫣🫣🫣…& Mimi saying that she didn’t hesitate, it hit me💡 She was conditioned / groomed. They ALL were conditioned / groomed to please &obey JFK without hesitation! This has the earmarks of a cult😳
Sexual predators like Jack always choose women who they know will willingly go along with his program. They can’t be bothered fighting with the non-compliant. He chose Jackie for the same reason.
CheereD, you are absolutely correct about there being a huge difference between MonicaLew & Mimi!! Mimi was bombarded immediately & in my opinion taken advantage of. I do think that ML wasn’t remotely prepared for what the outcome would be- & the media storm that followed really did make me sympathetic to her. She didn’t deserve all that- Either way, there was a difference. 15:03
ML was betrayed in the worst way possible by Linda Tripp, who she thought was her good friend and confidant, spending hours on the phone with her. Then Ken Starr, the partisan Special Prosecutor raked her over the coals, making her testify in public deposition to every sexual detail. She is a survivor though, making the most of her experience by bearing witness and helping others to understand the private and public abuse she had to navigate and overcome.
People in power seem to be all the same. They just take what they want regardless . They are the only ones that matter. Makes me sick. It's still going on today. ❤❤
You are right, being “true to yourself” is not an anchor in life, it’s a recipe for bobbing around aimlessly. True self worth can only be found in Christ.
I appreciate your summary!! As a woman who lost her mom at 18 to lung cancer, I too was searching at that age. I’ve made mistakes, I’ve grown thanks to Jesus Christ and VERY GRATEFUL now at 53 that no one like JFK was in my life at that time…because I would have been Mimi😔🙏
For years it's never hit me just how bad, dare i say evil, all the stories of the Kennedy women were. But, for some reason, the story of what Jack did to these girls has really effected me. I'm a Buddhist. We don't think of evil in quite the same way as Christians, but these stories are chilling me to the core. I love your videos.
I just rewatched from 49:00 when you were talking about Whose we are. Such wisdom. I’m 67 and it still applies to my life. I have often wondered why relationships haven’t worked out. Now I understand. I wasn’t letting HIM direct my path. That was the key point I have been missing even though I have loved HIM with all my heart since I was young. I’ve saved this video to rewatch that part as often as needed. Thank you ❤🙏
I love your channel bc of your centered understanding of Jesus and who your are under the protection of his mantle. The end of this episode almost had me crying. Thank you.
This is giving me the skeevatz but it reminded me of a movie called "Dick" it was a hillarious fictional take on the Watergate scandal and centered on 2 teenage girls that became dog walkers for checkers Nixons dog. This doesn't have much to do with the subject matter sorry but such a great movie and soundtrack. And very young Ryan Reynolds is it again sorry
Well done, Cheer. People have the idea that walking with Christ is restricting, but actually it’s a choice that grants ultimate freedom and ultimate peace. We none of us are perfect, but He knows and accepts us anyway. God bless
It occured to me that as Jack saw his intellectual mother humiliated by his abusive father, he developed a disgust & disrespec or intellectual women...
I read “ Once Upon a Secret “ by Mimi Beardsley. In her own words, she described how, at 19, the events with JFK had traumatized her so much she had never gotten over it. It was only recently that she felt she could finally tell her story , some 40 years after it happened. The book was published in 2012.
I think sometimes that people try to accept accountability for their actions, not wanting to acknowledge their anger but we can do both. But nowadays it seems everyone is a victim- I appreciate Mimi for her honesty, I do believe she was a victim- I too, would have liked to hear how she settled those feelings in her mind. ♥️
Your commentary is not only wonderful but necessary…I don’t think I could just listen to this audiobook without hearing someone else as outraged as I am to talk to about it…it’s OUTRAGEOUS and I am comforted to hear you say out loud what I would be screaming internally
I'm so happy you speak of your faith. Christ truly is the way, the truth, and the life.
Amen 🙏
As a recent convert to Christianity, totally agree. Wish it didn't take me so long to get it.
Yes
Ditto! I love &ow Cheere brought up her faith and worth in Christ.

Amazing. This was abuse whether the girl (now a woman) thinks it was or not. It was a massive power imbalance. Calling it "special" is a red flag too
Most people don't know that. :)
Do you have ANY idea how many women go to Washington just because of this “power imbalance “…..and men, too.
Wonderful listening to your reviews. You are insightful and hilarious at times. Merci.
My step father grew up in Brookline back in the day. His mother would not allow him to play with "those Kennedy children".lol

Also how disappointing that Dave didn’t turn down the offer of that stress relief..Just gross.
Agree but...who was he to deny the king anything? The inability of courtiers to say no is usually how the king meets his end.
He had been grooming her the whole time, and no doubt JFK had already told him that she would be served up to him on a plate.
Thank you for the Gospel message. That’s what matters most.✝️
I have a hard time thinking JFK was a Catholic.. Lots of people identify Catholic, but they are not. Their actions excommunicate themselves. He definitely did that!
Oh, he was definitely Catholic. . . .when it was useful!
But he wasn’t because he didn’t divorce. And then he likely could have gotten it if he was willing to pay enough $$$.
Very well said, Cheerie. I HOPE more young women, AND men would listen and understand what you said about feeling validated ❤

I forgot about Jesus, in spite of my Catholic education. Now at 62 yrs I now see the light of my savior. I wish I was taught early on in life about how much I was loved by Jesus. All I remember was fear, shame, and sadness. My life was similar to young women in this tragic story. Looking for validation and love everywhere. Now, my biggest struggle is forgiveness. It is pretty hard for me to forgive myself, never mind all the abusers. Thank You Cheere, your insight is very profound, and valuable to me, and most likely everyone. ❤
Keep listening to Jesus, not shame, not Satan’s lies, just Jesus. Real forgiveness and healing WILL come.
@@pamglass6007 Thank you for this message. I truly will
So true. Those who don't know God don't realize their own self-worth. And when you feel worthless, it's easy to let someone treat you like you are.
Totally riverting. What a shower load of creeps. Love your presentation and insights into your faith❤
Nothing more disgusting than powerful people. Great review and I love your compassion for the girl in her humiliation, as we all have experienced making decisions we regret as we come up.
It’s a joy to hear you share the gospel. Thank you!
Mimi's book goes into a lot of detail. She was young and confused about that time. If my memory is correct Dave Powers also spoke of Mimi to more than one author. The drug episode was one of the more troubling incidents.
Dear Cheerie Denise, thank you so much for your statement at the end of the video, about us belonging to Christ !Wow, wellsaid!
Christ is King!
Thank you for the reading and the extras you give us ❤️
Love your reviews. Also listening NOW to your Mountbatten book, you are doing a marvelous job.
That poolside scene of Mimi ‘taking the edge off’ of Dave Powers at the pleasure of the President🫣🫣🫣…& Mimi saying that she didn’t hesitate, it hit me💡
She was conditioned / groomed. They ALL were conditioned / groomed to please &obey JFK without hesitation!
This has the earmarks of a cult😳
Wow! Such a powerful, beautiful message! So true!
Thank you Cheere. I'm not in a place that is future thinking and your passion about Christ will sit in my mind.
Sexual predators like Jack always choose women who they know will willingly go along with his program. They can’t be bothered fighting with the non-compliant. He chose Jackie for the same reason.
CheereD, you are absolutely correct about there being a huge difference between MonicaLew & Mimi!! Mimi was bombarded immediately & in my opinion taken advantage of. I do think that ML wasn’t remotely prepared for what the outcome would be- & the media storm that followed really did make me sympathetic to her. She didn’t deserve all that- Either way, there was a difference. 15:03
Don’t believe there was that big a difference. Bottom line. . . .they were both young, naive (perhaps in different ways), and flattered.
ML was betrayed in the worst way possible by Linda Tripp, who she thought was her good friend and confidant, spending hours on the phone with her. Then Ken Starr, the partisan Special Prosecutor raked her over the coals, making her testify in public deposition to every sexual detail. She is a survivor though, making the most of her experience by bearing witness and helping others to understand the private and public abuse she had to navigate and overcome.
People in power seem to be all the same. They just take what they want regardless . They are the only ones that matter. Makes me sick. It's still going on today. ❤❤
I think there are still a few good ones.
“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” -Robert Ingersoll
@@Kitty-v2iNot and maintain power. One may have pure ideals going in but staying in is an altogether different animal.
Humans being “human,” I doubt that will, sadly, never really change.
I appreciate your wise insight on our personal worth. These poor women have one thing in common. They do not know they are daughters of God.
You are right, being “true to yourself” is not an anchor in life, it’s a recipe for bobbing around aimlessly. True self worth can only be found in Christ.
Thank you so much for everything you said in this episode at the end. It is what me and I am sure many others need to know and understand.
I appreciate your summary!! As a woman who lost her mom at 18 to lung cancer, I too was searching at that age. I’ve made mistakes, I’ve grown thanks to Jesus Christ and VERY GRATEFUL now at 53 that no one like JFK was in my life at that time…because I would have been Mimi😔🙏
Amen!...Thank you for your Christian testimony.
For years it's never hit me just how bad, dare i say evil, all the stories of the Kennedy women were. But, for some reason, the story of what Jack did to these girls has really effected me. I'm a Buddhist. We don't think of evil in quite the same way as Christians, but these stories are chilling me to the core. I love your videos.
I just rewatched from 49:00 when you were talking about Whose we are. Such wisdom. I’m 67 and it still applies to my life. I have often wondered why relationships haven’t worked out. Now I understand. I wasn’t letting HIM direct my path. That was the key point I have been missing even though I have loved HIM with all my heart since I was young. I’ve saved this video to rewatch that part as often as needed. Thank you ❤🙏
Master class in walking the walk. Thank you Cheere 🙏📿
Thank you, Cheere, for your support and testimony. I hope it will be a help to any who may be searching.
Thank you for sharing your personal perspective on things. knowing myself, I would’ve felt exactly the same way if put in that situation.
That was a beautiful reading, Cheere Denise. I wish every young girl could hear this.
What a beautiful testimony. You are such a great role model to young girls. God bless you and your channel. You are quite awesome!
I love your channel bc of your centered understanding of Jesus and who your are under the protection of his mantle. The end of this episode almost had me crying. Thank you.
Finding it hard to believe that Mimi could find any positive spin to this story
Especially after being used to give his friends favors…
This is giving me the skeevatz but it reminded me of a movie called "Dick" it was a hillarious fictional take on the Watergate scandal and centered on 2 teenage girls that became dog walkers for checkers Nixons dog. This doesn't have much to do with the subject matter sorry but such a great movie and soundtrack. And very young Ryan Reynolds is it again sorry
If you tell yourself something often enough, in the end you will believe it!
@@sopol6111I must find that satirical movie now.
@@sopol6111 Oh, I've seen it ; so funny !
Well done, Cheer. People have the idea that walking with Christ is restricting, but actually it’s a choice that grants ultimate freedom and ultimate peace.
We none of us are perfect, but He knows and accepts us anyway.
God bless
I love when your readings are like a talk with big sis 🙌 ❤
This is my favorite video. Thank you for sharing the Gospel!!
I commented before I got to end of the video. I agree with you on where our hope and dignity comes from.
It occured to me that as Jack saw his intellectual mother humiliated by his abusive father, he developed a disgust & disrespec or intellectual women...
Can't wait for the next chapter.! Lovely reading.
I read “ Once Upon a Secret “ by Mimi Beardsley.
In her own words, she described how, at 19, the events with JFK had traumatized her so much she had never gotten over it.
It was only recently that she felt she could finally tell her story , some 40 years after it happened. The book was published in 2012.
Wisdom 48:00-54:20. On repeat. ❤
' ... remembered thinking there was a little child in the car.'
CD: Well, they weren't completely wrong.
LOL!!
I read Mimi's book, I was hoping she would have more anger about it all later in life. I understand why she didn't see it when she was young.
I think sometimes that people try to accept accountability for their actions, not wanting to acknowledge their anger but we can do both. But nowadays it seems everyone is a victim- I appreciate Mimi for her honesty, I do believe she was a victim- I too, would have liked to hear how she settled those feelings in her mind. ♥️
Your commentary is not only wonderful but necessary…I don’t think I could just listen to this audiobook without hearing someone else as outraged as I am to talk to about it…it’s OUTRAGEOUS and I am comforted to hear you say out loud what I would be screaming internally
I love love your intimate input, especially at the end of this episode. You are a natural teacher and I look forward to your lessons everyday. ❤
Cheere, the more and more you read, the more and more respect i lose forJFK. What a predatory creep!
"Bestir" is one of my new favorite words, thanks to you... 😊
I do love that word 🤣
