SHE ARRANGED MY SPEECH IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE

HONEYSUCKLE DIVINE - SEE HER WIKIPEDIA

      I assert that she should be remembered as she wished - as a spiritual person rather than being limited to the roles she played for a livelihood.  And I might add, many of those in the adult trade love God & have good hearts. Jesus said to the Pharisees 'The Prostitutes shall go into Heaven before you.'

So ‘as a woman’ she had no ‘pride’ or ‘self esteem’.  But when she did her ‘Honeysuckle’ act she was perfect as it was SELF DEMEANING /DEPRECATING.  This SUITED HER PERSONALITY, her total humility & self abnegation.  She came out on the stage as a CLEANING WOMAN, with a mop that she used as a joke, & did all sorts of incredibly humiliating, salaciously ingenious things with her vagina.  Her ability to make money came out of this act – it was hit.  She went from $300 a week as a dancer to $1,500 a week doing this.  No woman had ever done the kind of things she did.  They were humiliating, embarrassing & hilarious.  The audience screamed with laughter. 

However, this is important: You cannot judge, measure or define a person by what they do on stage or in the ‘theater of life,’ – as long as it’s not ‘for real.’  What she did was for money / survival.  Boris Karloff was not a monster, though he played Frankenstein & other villains, neither is Anthony Hopkins or Bela Lugosi.  To rivet the mind & focus on the sexually comedic act Betty Jane did on stage is to focus on a part she played – it was in her life but NOT HER LIFE, it was theater.  It was personality, not her soul.  She was not, in her heart, the character she played.  Inside she was a kind, gentle, humble soul who loved God & cared about others.  To focus only on her theatrical act, to speak of it only, is to continue her entertainment, but it is not explaining her true self.  As her act was a form of self-exploitation, for people to focus on that & that alone, is to exploit her again, & to make matters worse, it makes her seem eccentric in a bad way, like she’s crazy.  Her act was ‘crazy’ but she’s smart as a fox……………….. 

  “At the same time, religion was never far away. As she said to a bewildered Penthouse magazine interviewer in 1975: “I would like to be remembered as a person who believed in St Augustine, and as somebody who was a very spiritual person. I believe in the City of God as opposed to the City of Man. The City of Man is mostly a physical thing but the only time you sin is when you transgress against spiritual things. The free will is a spiritual thing. Censorship is against free will. It is against God.”

11.  Kellie Everts – the Stripper for God (1976-1979)

Betty’s religious calling continued to play an important part in her life: “I often daydreamed of being in a group of nuns working secretly together as strippers – who mysteriously disappear after work going back to the convent.”

In early 1976, Betty met her ideal counterpart, Kellie Everts.

 

*** {Rasa says:  It was July 1975, I was on AM Washington speaking about the Esquire article – the first national article on female body building. But I talked about God a lot.} ***

 

Everts was a bodybuilder and stripper, who had been Miss Nude Universe 1969 and Miss Body Beautiful 1974.

 

*** {Rasa says:  Miss Body Beautiful 1^st place, twice Second Place & twice BEST BODY {on stage with Arnold1972 B’klyn Academy of Music}.  Miss Americana 2^nd place & BEST BODY on the same stage with Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Felt Forum.} ***

 

 She also had a deep evangelical religious conviction and was the self-styled ‘Stripper for God’, an ecdysiast who was also a minister. Everts was the Vice President of ‘One World Light Church’, a small offbeat Christian sect that sought to unite all faiths.

Betty was smitten with the idea of joining Everts: “I became a student and a disciple of Kellie Everts after seeing her on a T.V. show. I was impressed by her spiritual qualities. I believe Kellie Everts is a Living Saint, and her closeness to God can’t help but cause me to love and admire her.”

When Everts ordained Betty as a minister in February 1976, reactions were skeptical to say the least:

From Cheri magazine (April 1977):

God must be having a nervous breakdown. I dig that his job must be incredibly demanding but Honeysuckle Divine a REVEREND?! I guess the big G does work in mysterious ways but it sure is a sign of the changing times that his newest messenger’s specialty is shooting pickles out of her snatch.

 

Betty and Everts (right) become close and talked about how stripping could spread the word of the Lord, and how they could set up a boarding home for children from poor homes in Fort Lauderdale, but their relationship was strained by Betty’s frequent busts.

 

On March 8, 1977, she was arrested for performing at Aquarius Adult Center in Gloucester, NJ – whilst in the middle of playing ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’ on the horn (“That’s what you get for fucking sheep, I guess!”) This time it was the Camden County sector of the New Jersey Health Department that was called in to inspect all equipment used. As a result her mop, grocery cart, ping pong balls, horn, and stage supplies were confiscated as evidence. Betty was released on a $5,000 bail until a health report could be issued. In the end no report was issued, and the case fizzled out – exhausting Betty’s meager savings still further.

Then Betty was arrested in New York. She had returned to there in April 1977 for an engagement at the Melody Burlesque and stayed with Kellie Everts at her apartment in Brooklyn. Betty’s show was big news, and Cheri’s Peter Wolff came to cover it for the magazine. Other New York-based friends, such as fellow strippers Monica Kennedy, Jacquie Brodie, and Sonja Tokyo, and porn actors Tina Russell and Marc Stevens, joined the crowds eager to see her show again.

 

But on a Tuesday night, Betty was busted with another act, Wendy Williams (who, as Wendy O’Williams, would later achieve greater fame as lead singer for the American punk band, the Plasmatics). Rod Swenson, Wendy’s partner and a Times Square live show impresario, got them a lot of press, including coverage on the ABC Six O’Clock News.

 

*** {Rasa says:  On the news, instead of talking about herself, she talked about me!} ***

 

Another bust came a few weeks later at the Studio Theater at 1632 Market St, Philadelphia where she was given a police citation. 

Betty was keen to prove her value to Everts and to the ‘One World Light Church’, and so on June 16, 1978, she arranged for Everts to preach a message to Our Lady of Fatima in front of the White House with the aim of bringing about the conversion of Russia. Betty Jane got the permit and sent out the press releases to all in Washington. 

*** {Rasa says:  I was impressed by her zeal for God’s work, & the way she handled the promotion.  She wrote things out by hand – not typewriter – xeroxed them - & sent them to all the media including the Russian Embassy, which answered her that they would consider witnessing the sermon!} ***

As a publicity event, it was successful (it was covered the following day on the front page of the Washington Post) 

*** {Rasa says:  There was front page publicity COAST TO COAST in the United States – all the way to the Los Angeles times – where I got a call from an agent about doing a movie on my life.  We were ON THE WASHINGTON NEWS before & after the speech, the Washington Post did a huge article the DAY BEFORE the speech & that’s why we had a BIG AUDIENCE of Washington men in suits & the Washington News there again.  We were called, at the theater by SIXTEEN RADIO STATIONS the day after the speech – from all over the US!} ***  

Betty Jane Allsup

 I knew her fairly well, she stayed with me like 3 months because God told her to "stay close to Kellie" so she called me & asked me to move in.  I said OK & the exorcisms I did on her had not to do with porn or performing.  While she traveled by bus on her way to see me {she called me at each stop from pay phones}, she kept getting psychosomatic paralysis.  I defined this as being 'from the devil' trying to stop her from reaching me, & did exorcisms on the phone.  Each time I prayed the paralysis disappeared.

The article says I denied knowing her – that they had contacted me - not true – No one contacted me about her - I have made inquiries even recently but could not get any info. 

Understand that those in the adult trade are working out of necessity to SURVIVE.  They are not IMMORAL – it is not SIN or an affront to the Almighty.  Second, her PERFORMANCE is an ACT, NOT REAL LIFE.  Do not confuse the person with their act or performance as 'All the world's a stage, & we are merely players.' 

     As far as being a person like she said, in spite of her actions, including adult sex therapy, she 'felt like an angel' & why?  Because she has a good heart, 'the pure in heart shall see God' Jesus said.  She was NOT SINNING as adult trade workers do not sin because of their actions, unless they are hateful, cruel or do something to hurt others.  WHO DID SHE HURT? 

I did NOT like her act because it was demeaning / self deprecating.  But she did it to SURVIVE.  As just a plain dancer, like this says, she was unable to support herself.  She was clever & thought of gimmicks that worked - her finances increased after that.  As this says, she became a star & had big audiences.  I also thought her act was bad for her psyche & life in general, as it was incredibly stressful to get arrested constantly, where in each state she got arrested, in order to clean her record, she would have to return to that state & face charges.  There would be only a deficit not a benefit to her, each time she did this.  The time & expense was so great she missed facing some of these accusations.  So the charges remained on record.

Perhaps because of her good heart, religious background & spiritual intentions, she was CHOSEN BY GOD to set up the occasion of my preaching in front of the White House.  This was the highlight of my life & hers, although this event HAS NOT BEEN RECOGNIZED OR APPRECIATED AS HAVING AN EFFECT ON THE WORLD STAGE.  It is DISMISSED because the women involved were in the adult trade – society is not yet able to see past that.

 Because of Our Lady of Fatima, the Power of her Immaculate Heart, the Polish Pope got elected, then Reagan & Gorbachev.  People did pray the rosary for the conversion of Russia {Betty Jane went to Church daily & said they were praying it as a group in the Church of the Immaculate Conception}, the Pope did consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart {after he got shot & the moment he recovered asked to see the papers on Fatima}, then Perestroika & Glasnost occurred.  The Cold war ended, Communism fell because of this event.  And mark this:  the threat of World War III which loomed at that time was AVERTED & nations were not annihilated.  Holy Mary's Immaculate Heart Triumphed.  See my account:
