Me too, Ellen. I took her classes in her early days, and I was impressed by her knowledge and sincerity. She was very sensible about overeating, how to recognize our hunger signals, and offered some suggestions about satisfying a chocolate craving. She taught that no specific food group is 'bad'. Again, it was about recognizing hunger signals and not eating just because it was 'meal time'. Not long after that, she went TOTALLY off the deep end.
YES! Not the Good Girl deserves to be a HUGE channel! Thank you for sharing her work! Her videos are above and beyond! (And her sense of humor is great, too. Everyone should watch her video on Shamblin if only for her segment on Lara because you will re-watch the wedding and engagement part over and over its so weird!)
Yeah, I don’t know what happened. She went over the top with everything. She was not the same person that she once was. Her hair, her makeup, her clothes, her Cinderella engagement and wedding , considering herself a prophet….so far from where she started.
🤩My dad ,a father of two long haired daughters, made up a scrap book called bad perms & outfits of the 80s . We cracked up when he dragged out the old album on family holidays , my sis & I and our friends,in all our big hair sprayed glory ! Our children & grand children love looking at the thing it’s become a great conversation started . Lol.
I've never heard of Gwen Shamblin. My jaw is dropped listening to this story. Just horrific! Keep these coming Andrew. Exposing this stuff is so necessary!
I actually grew up in a Southern Baptist church in Mississippi- hearing about Gwen and her Weight Loss books were Everywhere!! She busted up churches w her Theology too! She was a Nutcase. She just taught starvation techniques to millions of women! Her daughter is truly suffering since her mother's demise.
I peripherally saw Southern Baptism and it made me cringe how misogynistic it was and so figured that she was as much a product as a "perp" but then, no, she was a predator through and through. Ruthless. I laugh SO hard at those videos of her and Lara, it's so pathetic!
Hi! Yes, I saw a documentary about this woman on TH-cam, I don't know what channel. This story is so weird!! Thanks for turning me on to another good channel!
I watched this a while back and thought it was excellent. The section on the young boy was particularly disturbing, and just shows what people will do when they become a cult follower.
I have read somewhere that Keith Ranieri had spent some time with polygamous Mormon Fundamentalists when he was in Mexico...perhaps this influenced the se*ual aspects to the NXIUM cult
Since leaving Jehovah's witnesses I'm astounded at how similar these high mind control cults are, elevating a human to a godlike authority that always seem to operate by a twisted acceptance of oppression by followers. So sad 😞
My brother got sucked into JW by dating one for years, then they got pregnant, forced to marry because SHE would get disfellowshipped and they had already done that to her brother, and they just got to him with their lies about working your way into salvation. I'm really sad about it. We never really had a relationship, but now it's almost non existent. He won't even let us stay in his house when we visit. He would even pay for the hotel for his parents and my family saying he thought we would be more "comfortable" even though air mattresses and couches were fine for her parents and sister and all their kids and we told him repeatedly that that would be fine for us too. It's bullshit and it destroys families for generations. I hate the watchtower devils.
@@nfcapps Sadly the control Watchtower exerts over members is stronger than love, making believers reject even family for no greater reason than they are not JW. It is an insidious cult enslaving adherents to a life of servitude, guilt and fear of death at an Armageddon that's been imminent since 1874. So sorry he got sucked in. 😞
"Not The Good Girl" channel is soooo good! Everyone should check out Josie. Thanks for bringing her in Andrew. Very interesting to hear about Gwen Shamblin on your channel too. Please stay away from the "Weigh Down" program - starving + religion is horrible.
As they say in the south🇺🇸, "the higher the hair the closer to heaven honey!" But she did spend some of her millions on the private jet that crashed killing her and 6 others so all that hairspray for nothing lol. Excuse my dark humor 🙊🤭
firstly - the fact “sham” is in her surname, warning bells for me. lol put the fork down, step away from the plate.. karma’s a proper bugger, isn’t it.! 😉😉😉 🤘🏻🇦🇺🌏✌🏻
I think Daniella was not actually locked inside the room. She was sent to it, but she could physically leave. She didn't though, and this has been raised as evidence to how psychologically manipulated she was by everyone involved.
As far as I understand the nixivm/Daniella story, she wasn't locked in the room physically, she was locked in mentally. Door was closed but not locked. Keith is a horrible monster.
His name was Joseph Smith, but it is best that you be clear that the Weigh Down cult has no relationship to the cult of Mormonism. Each would disavow the other completely.

10:00 I wonder if some of the people drawn to cults who "blindly" hand their children over are subconsciously drawn for that 'hands off' approach. Maybe they wouldn't have been great patents had they joined or not
How about interviewing john Collins? He has a channel on TH-cam called Leaving the Message. He was raised in the cult leadership, or royalty really, of the cult I was in for 28 years. He is the top historian on this cult called The End Time Message or also called Branhamism. William Branham was the leader until he died. We thought he fulfilled all kinds of stuff in the Bible. Some people still think he was God and is coming back from the dead. The whole things is lies, of course. It has a really interesting history, involving the KKK, Jim Jones, all kinds of stuff!!
Had you heard of Gwen Shamblin? Who should I interview next?
Yes and I think it's very creepy.
Munecat!
I just watched the doco about it. Creepy is an undesrtatement. She was truly an awful person.
th-cam.com/video/N8aABrjMZSs/w-d-xo.html
How about uk cults
I attended her weight loss classes many years ago before she started the cult. I learned some good stuff but always felt something was off.
Oh fascinating !
ELLEN!!! 🥰
Glad to hear that she didn't hurt everyone she came in contact with.

After her first weight loss session, she went back into depending on the law
THE WEBSITE IS STILL UP !!!! THATS MADNESS
She doesn’t look the least bit slim and healthy, she looks tired and emaciated

she will be, i'm sure of that!
I completely agree

The fact she could make her hair levitate like that is evidence she had gods spirit.

Initially it wasn’t that way though. Things changed, she charged. She got divorced and then became her own God.

HBO has a documentary called The Way Down, it’s very good. That’s how I found out about her.
@@sinistercyn9849 Very evil and so hypocritical!! Saying people have to look perfect to be right with God! That is so wrong!!
The only thing that springs to mind is, Fools and Money are soon parted. A bit like Scientology.
I did her program for a bit in 1999 before she went extra wooo-wooo
Always comes down to money and power.
it does, thanks pam!

Josef Smith died of suffocation and blunt force trauma.
have you seen the "Fundy Fridays" episode about the Shamblin disaster? if not, you really should. it's bat-_ _ _ _ crazy.
Very interesting how sick and evil people in a cult can be.

Loving this interview with Josie. Her channel is first-rate. She does her homework, tells the story clear and well, and also does great interviews.
thanks, i love her too!

I did weigh down workshop in 2001. It was okay and even inspirational at the time. Then she changed
Any true Christian church does not require money to be a part of it.
Denial of Jesus Christ is blasphemous 💯
I'd only heard of Shamblin through Not The Good Girl, her channel is fantastic!
Your killin it Andrew 👏👍😉
thanks old g!
Every time this pops up I think it's David Bowie from that goblin king movie.😳
It’s like the bigger her hair got, the weirder she got.
Loool
Off to watch the video! Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed it!
KOOL
Needs to spend some of her millions on a decent wig.
Haha Stanley !
As they say in the south🇺🇸, "the higher the hair the closer to heaven honey!" But she did spend some of her millions on the private jet that crashed killing her and 6 others so all that hairspray for nothing lol. Excuse my dark humor 🙊🤭
@@some102 haha!
Thanks for 🤣🤣🤣💋🤘🏻✌️
They help one to lose weight through nauseating clients of their hypocrisy.
Yep!
@@AndrewGold1 , thank you for your acknowledgement.
So….instead of exercising your fat…you exorcise your fat. Okaaay then Gwen 😂
Haha Beth !
as a fatty myself, this is hilarious! :)
I saw a documentary about this. Totally absurd.
Absolutely !!
Her hair got higher and higher lol
Interesting 👍🏽✌️
I guess whatever I learned in those videos from Gwen were not too life altering as I still need to lose weight! Lol!
so do i! but we gotta enjoy life!
Her hair is unreal! It’s actually spooky.
firstly - the fact “sham” is in her surname, warning bells for me.
lol
put the fork down, step away from the plate..
karma’s a proper bugger, isn’t it.! 😉😉😉
🤘🏻🇦🇺🌏✌🏻
It was hardly a diet, more like basic starvation
The little boy was named Joseph Smith and the website about her is still up. We saw it two days ago.
Complete insanity

Door was closed but not locked. Keith is a horrible monster.
thanks jackie, interesting!!
@@AndrewGold1 i saw this on the vow season 2. Episode 5 called The Room.
Gwen's hair is strange.
Love your comment!!😂🤣😂🤣✌️👋

@@AndrewGold1 Cool!!!
What kind of cult is this?? And where can they be reached at? Asking for a friend.
hahah!
With friends like you, who needs enemies.🥴
The child was locked in a bedroom without food and was forced to read the Bible until he submitted.
So it’s just intuitive eating with a side of God? Mmkay…
Hah used to edit larry King he swears Like a sailor
Now l have to watch, not the good girl channel. Lol. Still love you and AAron the best though.
How do you beat a child with a glue stick?? They are only about 4 inches long and a half inch wide.
Still a hard object
Oh no. There are some that are 10 inches long. For when you just can’t stop crafting long enough to reload.
Gwen was the queen and one cc of her adrenochrome going down in that jet is worth more than a life time ride pass for Kings Island.
Not the good girl❤❤❤
She’s great isn’t she magdalena !

Well I'd like to think God wants us to be healthy. And you can't be obese n healthy
Seriously, though… Why does no one ever mention the hair? It is so huge. It is the original Karen hair.
Yesss thank u,when i saw this my first question was whats with the hair??? Jezzzus
