Did you ever think that overeating, specifically, could send your soul to Hell? Or that not losing enough weight, fast enough, could jeopardize your salvation? These are just some of the many terrible (and bizarre) messages that very skinny self-proclaimed "prophetess" Gwen Shamblin Lara preached before she died in a plane crash in 2021.   Sadly, the cultish church she built, lives on. And this week, we explore (and mock) its weirdly weight-centric teachings.Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-3dKEiruxB4Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

Prophetic News Radio-Cults-End Times, Michael Shamblin speaks out, News updates. The son of Gwen Shamblin Lara, Michael Shamblin speaks out on what he deems a cult that his mother founded. New updates, ullegal aliens money grabs.

Today Heather digs into the mysterious and disturbing world of diet culture and, more specifically, how diet culture turned into an actual cult in the case of Gwen Shamblin, the Weigh Down Workshops and book, and the Remanent Church. This is part one of a two-part series where we'll walk through the new Starving for Salvation Lifetime movie that is based on Gwen Shamblin's life story. Though it is a fictionalized account, much of what the movie shows was documented in The Way Down documentary that aired on HBO Max a few years ago.  What sticks out to Heather today is how an unbiblical focus and prioritization on weight loss and beliefs about weight loss that are connected to holiness and righteousness set Gwen on a path of heresy and, ultimately, self-destruction. Today we explore some clips from the first part of the film and talk about Gwen's obvious eating disorder and twisted way of thinking about food, God, and the body. All clips in this episode are used under Fair Use law for informational, educational, and critique purposes only.

HBO has a new documentary, but we focus on Lifetime's GWEN SHAMBLIN: STARVING FOR SALVATION, which stars Jennifer Grey (DIRTY DANCING, FERRIS BUELER'S DAY OFF) in the lead role as Gwen, covering her life's journey from housewife to cult leader. We at Boys' Bible Study previously covered Gwen ourselves back in 2021, learning about her extensive and specific theories on how you can replace gluttonous urges with prayer. Her most famous theory is that one must wait for “The Growl”, a stomach growl which sometimes requires fasting as long as 36 hours at a time to truly experience. STARVING FOR SALVATION doesn't get too deeply into the content of Gwen's teachings, but the film is impressively researched and entertaining as it recreates the harrowing atmosphere of a southern belle cult leader who exerts total control over the dogma (and diets) of her congregation. Watch as Gwen and Joe go shopping for a private plane to add to their tacky, opulent estate — the same plane that would later come crashing down in a Tennessee lake, bringing an abrupt end to Gwen's reign over Remnant Fellowship. The Church lives on, and has even issued a harsh press statement denouncing Lifetime's biopic, but they should be grateful! GWEN SHAMBLIN: STARVING FOR SALVATION is not a flattering portrait, but we think Gwen would enjoy seeing her legacy live on in such an entertaining and, dare we say, “iconic” way.

Welcome to Talk'n Docs, the monthly podcast where we dive into the world of documentaries and review them for your listening pleasure. Hosted by Jennifer Smith, Logan Crosland and Cowboy Roger, their second episode continues a season dedicated to exploring cults. The Way Down is a very interesting and somewhat chaotic documentary series told through the eyes of former members and their friends and family. The panel discuss the cultists belief system, its foundation, and the mastermind behind it all, Gwen Shamblin Lara. Other things discussed include the role the weight loss played in their religion and the tragic accident that shook the church to its core.

Kat teaches a lesson on a dietician who dipped her toe into evangelical cult-leading. Gwen Shamblin's diet program of praying the fat away somehow appealed to enough people that she could afford a private plane- unfortunately for her.. Then, Hayley introduces us to a pair of feral children who showed up in Woolpit, England a very long time ago. We don't know where they came from, only that their skin was green and they LOVED raw beans.  https://linktr.ee/NightClassy ED Resource:  https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/help-support/contact-helpline Gwen Shamblin sources:  https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/22/us/nashville-tennessee-plane-crash-ntsb-report/index.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Shamblin_Lara https://www.ranker.com/list/gwen-shamblin-lara-weigh-down-workshop-church-cult/aspen-stevens https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/do-the-weigh-down-workshops-still-exist-active https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/sep/29/gwen-shamblin-docuseries-the-way-down-remnant-fellowship Green Children of Woolpit Sources: GREEN CHILDREN of Woolpit | The story of the green boy and girl found in England | History Calling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpLUJasKrQA 6 Nightmare Historical Diseases Humanity Forgot Are Possible Wears https://www.cracked.com/article_24245_exploding-teeth-6-scary-diseases-that-were-lost-to-history.html The Mystery of the Green Children of Woolpit Schneider https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/62878/mystery-green-children-woolpit Green children of Woolpit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_children_of_Woolpit   Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2023

I could start this story with a murder, I could start with a plane crash, I almost started with the book.  But then I was lucky enough to have my researcher speak to a person who read the book and tried the diet, so I thought I'd start instead with an inside look. Today we will be talking about a woman who developed the Weigh Down Diet, founded the Remnant Fellowship Church and turned it into a cult. This is the story of Gwen Shamblin Lara. https://youtu.be/21L3DJK8nAg

Keto. Intermittent Fasting. Paleo. Juice Fasts. They all claim to be the best for weight loss, but is this true? There is an overwhelming amount of information out there trying to convince you to lose weight. While there are a myriad of ways to lose weight, losing weight too quickly or in super restrictive ways won't work in the long term. In this episode, Illa and TMN Coach Courtney discuss a number of things that the dieting industry gets wrong about long term weight loss. They also discuss a recent Variety article about disordered eating tied to Gwen Shamblin Lara of the Weigh Down Workshop, where Shamblin Lara equated weight gain with sin in her Christian-based Remnant Fellowship.

When people preach that there is just one way, they are often trying to sell you something. Different methods work for different people, the key is finding a way that will work for you in the long term. Losing a large amount of weight quickly may seem like a win but it's actually a loss. When you severely restrict your calories, you lose weight quickly but your body becomes malnourished. This puts your body at a higher risk of developing diseases since you don't have the nutrition to protect yourself. Don't take things to the extreme. More is not always the answer. A little protein is good, but don't go overboard and eat a ton of protein. Walking 10,000 steps a day is good, but don't go overboard and do 30,000 steps. Incorporate habits that are sustainable in the long term. Hi! I'm Illa (MS, RDN) and I am a Registered Dietitian who provides weight loss coaching for millennials. There are so many health companies and fad diets out there that want to convince you to buy their products, but I'm here to show you that you don't need any products to lose weight!

After rising to fame with her Weigh Down Workshop, a Christian-based diet program that preached slenderness as next to godliness, Gwen Shamblin Lara founded the Tennessee-based church. Despite a carefully curated image, Lara and the church soon fielded accusations of emotional, psychological, and physical abuse, and exploitation for their alleged cult-like practices. The concluding two episodes of this documentary series examine the mysterious accident that claims the lives of Gwen and some of her inner circle. New voices come forward for the first time. Natasha Pavlovich was one person Shamblin could not control. She is the mother of a daughter she shared with Joe Lara. She discusses her experience with Gwen and Joe, and the aftermath of their deaths.

Gwen Shamblin nousi 90-luvulla suureen suosioon, kun hänen kristillinen dieettiohjelmansa, Weight Down Workshop alkoi trendata erityisesti yhdysvaltalaisissa kirkoissa. Dieettigurun titteli ei kuitenkaan Gwenille riittänyt, vaan hän halusi enemmän - luonnollisena askeleena oli tottakai oman kirkon perustaminen. Gwenin kirkkoa, Remnant Fellowship Churchia on kuitenkin epäilty laajasti kultiksi, joka oli vain naamioitu paastovinkkien ja Gwen Shamblinin karisman taakse.

If you're familiar with ‘The Way Down', the HBO Docuseries that chronicles the rise and fall of conservative Christian diet guru Gwen Shamblin (Lara), who died in a plane crash in May of 2021, you may remember today's guest: Gina Wilson. As a devoted member of the Remnant Fellowship, the Brentwood Tennessee church founded by the big-haired, charismatic Shamblin, Gina spent over a decade inside the group as a part of the music ministry team and as a poster child of sorts for the church's ‘Weigh Down' diet method and weight loss empire. Gina joins us to talk in-depth about her experience in the church, the collateral damage to her family unit, and how she ultimately escaped Shamblin's clutches. She also shares how her faith has only deepened now that she's free from the Remnant Fellowship, and how she's coming back from years of spiritual abuse. The Way Down Season 2 is now streaming on HBO Max. Support the ALBC Pod:We've made a link where you can support A Little Bit Culty with a one-time, weekly, or monthly contribution.

Previously on Deadtime Storiez...... Stephanie told us about the Unification Church (aka The Moonies). But what she was saving for this episode was the completely insane sect that branched off from the Moonies: the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary Church - also known as - the Rod of Iron Ministries. And that is because they not only worship God in their church, but also...the AR-15 assault rifle. This church has bullet crowns, gun blessing ceremonies, and openly encourage you to bring your personal AR-15 to service.....I mean, what could be more 'Merican than that? Sarah follows up this cult-filled episode with the leader of the Remnant Fellowship church: Gwen Shamblin Lara. The woman who personifies "the higher the hair, the closer to God", Gwen started her journey as a dietician creating the "Weigh Down Workshop", a faith-based weightloss program (because that won't turn unhealthy fast...) Check out the recently released HBO Documentary "The Way Down: God, Greed, and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin". Both of these cult leaders are quite the personalities, both in what they preach and in their outward appearance. We'll be posting pictures of both on all out social media accounts. *We know that the USA is the "land of the free", and was built on the freedom of religion. BUT, that doesn't mean that all religions are good, or healthy, and some are straight up cults - which is why we talk about them here.

What a Creep: Gwen Shamblin Lara Season 13, Episode 4 The Founder of Remnant Fellowship Church “HBOMax The Way Down”  Gwen Henley Shamblin Lara was the founder of a popular Christina diet program called “The Weigh Down” whose followers were instructed to use God as their guide to lose weight and overcome eating issues. This led her to start her own ministry called the Remnant Fellowship which along with her best-selling books and popular online programs and festivals made her a wealthy woman. For years, she dodged rumors that she ran a cult and took advantage of her followers. On May 29, 2021, she died in a plane crash along with her second husband for Tarzan in Manhattan actor Joe Lara, her son-in-law Brandon Hannah, and several members of her church on their way to a MAGA rally. HBO Max produced three episodes for a series called The Way Down (two more are due next year) which exposed many of the more unsavory aspects of her life. Today we talk about the mysterious leader with the incredible head of hair and what is happening with her ministry today. Trigger Warnings: Church cults, eating disorders, and child abuse.

Right after brunch on May 29th of this year (2021), evangelical cult leader Gwen Shamblin Lara and her recent husband Tarzan actor Joe Lara, along with six others, plunged their Cessna C501 into Percy Priest Lake near Nashville, Tennessee. Shamblin created a Christian diet plan called the Weigh Down, that became its own religious cult called the Remnant Fellowship, that emphasized body shaming as a tool to keep people, specifically women, obedient and exhausted. When her plane dove into the lake just after take off, was it an accident? Was is it foul play? Faked death maybe? Or maybe, like Johnny Cash says, "Sooner or later, the Man'll cut ya down."

In this episode, we discuss the final chapters of The Way Down. These episodes cover the impact on the lives and families of the cult surrounding the Remnant Fellowship and diet guru Gwen Shamblin Lara. Many former members detail the extent to which the cult controlled their behavior and actions, and their struggle to get free of its grip. Check out this article for some good coverage of the issues around leaving a cult. Quick recap of the series: The author of the bestselling diet book The Weigh Down, Gwen Shamblin, appeared on the national TV talk shows and sold her weight loss philosophy to people across America. Especially churchgoers. By 1999, she had essentially started her own Tennessee church (or cult depending on your point of view). Her background as a nutritionist brought some actual common sense to the diet, but when she put herself forward as a prophet who equated devotion to diet as devotion to God she stepped into dangerous and manipulative territory.

Maybe you've tried Keto or Atkins or the blood type diet, but have you thought about maybe trying God? The Weigh Down Workshop was founded by Gwen Shamblin in 1986. She didn't believe in dieting, exercising or counting calories. Shamblin instead told followers to rely on God and pray that He will slap the Doritos out of your hand. Strange Country cohosts Beth and Kelly talk about this program turned church and how some cult experts see it as a cult.

Listener discretion is advised.   A self-described dumb blonde with a genuine heart for God, this registered dietician combined her love of the Lord with her professional training to craft her lightning rod hit weight loss program. But what started as a health venture morphed into a strict religious sect that concerned religious scholars and controlled its members' everyday behaviors - sometimes with deadly consequences.

As the girls always say, the higher the hair the closer to God. Ok, they don't say that, but when Sara dives into the Remnant Fellowship Church the girls feel like they're closer to God than ever... or maybe it's a cult?

If you follow Christian culture, you've probably seen her name in the news this month - on May 29, 2021, she was aboard a private jet that crashed in a Tennessee lake, killing Gwen, her husband (actor Joe Lara), and 5 other high ranking leaders of her church. Many news outlets, tabloids, and documenters of contemporary Christian culture have covered her bizarre career and untimely demise - but we at Boys' Bible Study, being media critics, choose to do so through her decades of video work. She's released countless self-help VHS tapes and youtube videos as a part of her Christian weight loss ministry Weigh Down. She also releases streaming TV show episodes that seem to double as Remnant church services. We also cover her wedding and engagement videos, which are so larger-than-life they qualify as video art. In our discussion, we conclude that Remnant Fellowship is more than just using God to justify an eating disorder - it's also a full-blown cult of aesthetics.  View our full episode list and subscribe to any of our public feeds: http://boysbiblestudy.com Unlock 2+ bonus episodes per month: http://patreon.com/boysbiblestudy Subscribe to our Twitch for monthly streams: http://twitch.tv/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/boysbiblestudy
