    Why is pancake face on here?
    She told a 16 year old to kill herself.
    Why do you have her on here?
    That's evil.

    People who didn't begin with Gwen in the 90's, go to the workshops and read the books and do the program can't know how Gwen's deception progressed. I followed Gwen for over 25 years, not as a cult member but agreeing that food idolatry is a real thing. Anytime you look to the creation for help and not the Creator for His solution, you are looking for help you'll never find. Only the Holy Spirit can manifest self control in a believer's life. We have no righteousness apart from Jesus Christ. Gwen began losing weight for herself. She got followers because people want to worship and follow people. They want some "formula" for success outside of self control. I believe as people elevated Gwen to "fame" and as they elevated her, she got sideways and Satan started to twist what began as a truth. Gwen did what she did by choice but unless you were a part of this whole weigh down journey, you can't sit outside and judge her correctly.

      I think he is just saying you can not fully understand her path without understanding the weight loss journey. He is saying that she went down the wrong path and people raised her to heights because people want to follow and want rules. They want a program to fix them and that is what Jesus taught. That is why we build religions rather than follow God, as the wind blows from the east to the west and so it is with the people of the spirit of God. Not saying what you said was wrong in any way. I totally agree with you. @@pinkystores9451

      According to her son, she was having an affair while leading the church. A hypocrite! Someone who had NO business being the leader of a church. We, as followers of Jesus Christ, have a duty to bring these things out in the open.

      This is a fair and true comment. I live overseas and have never even attended anything by her, but I do have the book Weigh Down. I think Gwen was an amazing person, she was inspiring, she was funny, she was honest and tough-: something we need more of in the world today. I am saddened it ended like this for her, and feel this snarky pack of vultures on stage are repulsive.
      Yet, there's no getting around the path Gwen went on, I think she was in a marriage where physical affection had long left the building, and as a fit woman who still looked brilliant for her age, the lure of a Joe Lara was too much to resist. I feel for her in that, but my God, it's one thing to think of it--but to DO it? Crazy.
      Also, Dan Grynder, the guy who analyses flight logs and all the rest states that without a doubt he believes Joe crashed that plane intentionally. He thinks this was a suicide/mass murder event and that just adds to the tragedy of Gwen's end :( May she Rest in Peace.

    Curious…if Joe was piloting the plane, was it not investigated as a purposeful crash to “suicide” himself, Gwen and the main church leaders in light of this HBO series or something else exposing them? I watched a moment ago, “Life with Gwen and Joe” done in May 2020 where Gwen gushes about Joe’s piloting skills and he says something to her about not questioning her courage if she trusts flying with him!

    • @mooney9046
      @mooney9046 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think he just wasn't that skilled. They explain in the documentary how Gwen kept buying him jets, planes, and even a helicopter. He didn't have time to really learn how to fly all those safely.

    • @KelseyDunlevy
      @KelseyDunlevy ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Please check out Dan Gryder's TH-cam channel. Dan covered this plane crash extensively, and as a pilot himself, he explained that Joe had no business flying that jet. Basically, Joe got his rating (or certification) on flying that jet when he shouldn't have. Joe was certified to fly VFR (visual flight rules), and then he pushed a flight instructor to give him his IFR (instrument flight rules) certification. When Joe took up their jet for that fatal flight, he most likely got spatial disorientation, and unintentionally flew the jet into the ground.

      @merrymeditation 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @@KelseyDunlevy well, I found his reasoning for this theory to be compelling. Joe's background of alcoholism and its consequences on the psyche, match a feeling trapped reality. Michael Shamblin said in his latest videos that he felt Joe hated his life, hated the position he was in being Gwen's financial boy toy and that he was resentful at everyone in Remnant. It works for me as a motive, and if he was drunk that day, even more so. Anyways, true that we may never have it officially confirmed, and maybe we have to let it go, but Dan's conclusion was that it was technically impossible for someone to do this kind of dive down unintentionally holds weight for me.

      I live and work very close to Remnant Church . At one time, several church members actually worked at the same company where I still work. The church didn't seem like a cult until you started hearing the stories of the people who were members. A church member that I became good friends with and her husband were trying to leave the church, and it was like the stories that you hear about people who try to leave Scientology. My friend and her husband actually relocated to another state instead of officially leaving the church. The church was trying to turn my friends teenage children against my friend and her husband and kept telling them that if they left the church, they would never see their children again.
