Hey, all! I think I made a mistake in this video: Marcella Von Harting is actually the Royal Crown Diamond in YL, not Robert Tennyson. My bad! One of these days I’ll get a video out with zero mistakes. 😅
I feel for the lady. She seems truly genuinely concerned about this book and it's effect on her faith. However, she's a snake oil salesmen being mad at snake oil salesmen
I feel disgusted with her. She's just as much of a delusional fruitcake as the people she condemns, but her brainwashing felt challenged by other brainwashing and kicked into defense mode. Literally EVERYONE who reads scripture twist it to suit their own narrative, but they can only see it happening when someone twists it a different way than they do.
It's amazing to me how powerful evangelicals think Satan is. When my parents took me to a mainline Lutheran church when I was a kid, the preacher said thinking Satan and demons had any power was blasphemous. I'm no longer Christian, and don't believe in any supernatural stuff, but the right-wing Evangelicals seem like a totally different religion to me. Satan is much more important to them than God is.
Apparently evangelicals also think that any initiative to bring peace to the world, or rights to any and all disenfranchised groups, is originated from Satan as well and is a trap and a setup for a "one world government". I'm betting your Lutheran preacher would think THAT is blasphemous too, right along with the assertion by folks claiming these things that this is a part of normal Christianity and what the Bible is "truly communicating". That latter assertion, btw, has even a lot of non-Christians in evangelical-dominant regions convinced that most Christians believe that particular brand of nonsense.
@@crowdemon_archives I think it's stupid as well. Apparently there are whole swathes of evangelicals who believe this nonsense and tell their flocks it's normal Christianity (helped by books like the Left Behind series). I don't think America is that nutty across the board, but it is something worth collecting data on. At least to see how many people are being lied to in this manner, and in what areas.
@@crowdemon_archives I was raised Evangelical (Southern Baptist) and yes, what you have heard is correct. I was taught that the Anti-Christ would bring world peace and the like. Peace was viewed as almost a dirty word.
My mother was in to this kind of thing back in the 80s and 90s. I swear, there’s nothing new under the sun. When I was a kid my mother wouldn’t take us to the doctor or hospital (especially not me since I was the scapegoat child) or give us medications. If I got a cold or the flu she would tell me it was my own fault for thinking negative thoughts. When I became a teen and had period cramps so severe that I fainted, I was also told it was my fault for inviting negative vibes in to my life and now it was manifesting as pain. Knee dislocated? My fault for being negative. Pop it back in place and walk it off. Fainted from heat exhaustion? Nope, not heat exhaustion, negative vibes and I should be more positive. Now stop drinking water and sitting there and let’s keep hiking. She had a crystal on her nightstand that was supposed to charge her positive vibrations while she slept. She also had a crystal in front of a few dollar bills almost like a shrine and that was supposed to help bring her wealth. It never did. It’s wild to me how much of the stuff I grew up with is bordering on mainstream now. Or at least common in woo circles. It scares me because I was absolutely medically neglected and abused. I hate to think that there’s countless kids out there being raised in a similar way. I hope there’s someone else there to help them if they need it.
Wow your mother needs to be locked up inside a mental institution facility. Your mother isn't normal. It's not your fault. You needed see a doctor. I had a friend her child has autism and the mom told her that it's the child's fault because negative child. No what kind of grandma. No you needed to see an OB they prescribed special medical for cramps.
@intan2768 I’m good. I’m married and have a kid. I’m very low contact with my mother. It would be no contact, but she lives with my grandma and forces her way in every chance she gets. I don’t like her being around my kid. She got breast cancer a couple years ago and she will only trust surgeons and surgery. She flat refuses to do chemo or radiation because “that stuff is poison and makes the cancer worse.” She’s convinced that between surgery and a specific diet she’ll be fine. And who knows, maybe she will be. Maybe in the 3 surgeries she’s had they got all the cancer and it hasn’t metastasized. But literally no one knows because she won’t do any scans or blood work because she thinks those are “just scams invented by Big Pharma to make money off scared people”. So, any day now she could break a bone and find out she has advanced bone cancer, or she could live to be 90 convinced that positive thinking and that diet cured her, when really it was that the surgeons got all the cancer cells before they spread. Either way, after my grandma passes away, I plan to go fully no contact with my mother. She done a lot more awful stuff and continues to try to manipulate and abuse me, my brother, my dad, and my kid. I plan to remove my kid and I from that cycle.
@@Annie_Annie__ wow, wild. It's cray to me how the folks who beleive in faith healing, magic and The Lord's powers think chemo or radiation will destroy their magic beliefs. Like... if God were so awesome, wouldn't he make you immune to those things, or pull you through it... if he loved you enough? Anyways, hope you can deal with the things she does as long as she's around to pester you
I was thinking the same, but the rep seemed genuinely upset. So I'm buying her explanation. Doesn't mean I would believe in Satan or God, just that she looked and sounded truly shaken by what she had read.
@@spa-peggymeatballs4861 it's a biofeedback device. It just told you to buy different oils every time you did it, even 2 minutes apart. I'm a clinical mental health counselor, and I know a little about biofeedback. And actual biofeedback is consistent and measures something tangible! Im also woo-woo so I would totally have bought into it if it wasn't just making things up every time you reset the thing. Like a slot machine!
As a radiation therapist who treats cancer patients this is so freaking infuriating. One of the nurses in the department just found out she has breast cancer.. to think that people are saying that’s HER FAULT is appalling. Ugh! Also, how can that rep condemn someone for not believing in Jesus.. do you have to be Christian to be in YL? What??
@@theantibot It would seem to be that YL targets and manipulates Christians, much like Jim Jones would. The only difference being that YL uses them to hawk their products than drink the Kool Aid.
As a cancer genetic counselor I've seen too many patients who waited to get treatment for their cancer because they wanted to try oils first...never blame the patient, it's the soulless companies that are peddling this snake oil
I have never heard anything about the requirements of being a Christian before joining YL. I have been with this company close to 4 years. The reference of the Bible is in my opinion, because God made trees and plants with healing properties and the EOs are from the trees and plants.
Fun fact, "Modere!" is a full German sentence. It's the imperative form of the verb "modern" which means to rot or molden, so "Modere!" would be an exclamation ordering you to rot or grow moldy. It could also be 1st person singular present, "Ich modere", meaning "I'm rotting".
@@pvanpelt1 it actually also just means Modern, as with many English words and phrases that can mean two things, often opposite of each other depending on context. Not defending any MLM, but I'm sure they are going for the Modern usage, not the rot and decay one. It is pretty funny that it has that DOUBLE MEANING though.
@@Sendarya Is the "modern" meaning from loanwording english modern or is the german word also rooted from late latin "modernus" (which is from latin "modo")? Asking as an etymology nerd who can't figure out a way to ask google to give me the etymology of the german word (I just get french "modere", "moderated").
Sounds like the same problem Chevrolet had with the Nova because in Spanish speaking countries "Nova " meant "won't go". Needless to say, not many of that model was sold even though it was a good car!
@@neoqwerty The English word modern (in the sense of current, timely, up-to-date) exists identically in German as well, but is pronounced differently from the verb meaning rot. (Emphasis on the first syllable for _rotting_, second syllable for _recent_) They are etymologically distinct, the rot verb is closer in origin to the German "Moor" (bog, swamp) and "Moos" (moss) or the English "mud". The earliest references I've found with a quick google search go back to the 15. century. There's references to many similar words over the centuries in Middle High German and Scandinavian languages with meanings along the lines of impure, fecal, decay, mud, swamp, thicket or moist.
I live in Utah and I despise YL and DoTerra. I am a part of the medical field and health care professionals have a hard time treating patients because they ingest these oils causing a challenge to treat serious illnesses due to the interactions between oils and medication. Diffusers are used in rooms causing asthma and other breathing problems. The most disturbing is that children are given these oils as well. This culture is predominantly anti-vax and is a major problem in infectious disease.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. They are anti-vax, which is already truly deadly, and also promote ingesting oils that are NOT meant to be ingested. I don't even understand how it does not say so in the package- even bleach has a warning and you'd think everyone would know not to drink it (then again...recent events have made us all wonder about that...). Have you run into cancer patients whose situation became worse because they opted for oils instead of actual medical science? I cannot help wonder how many people may not have died because of this oil insanity.
Most people consuming these oils have no idea how highly concentrated they are. Many of them will take the polish off your nails or strip the varnish from furniture. Regularly using them on your skin, even diluted, can sensitize it can cause new allergic skin reactions. Most of them have never been studied to determine whether they're safe for internal use, but these companies promote that.
Anti-vax, essential oils? What else do these cranks believe? 9/11 denialism? Obama birtherism? Moon landing denialism? If one of those essential oil cranks tries to pitch some pyramid scheme to me AND trots out the "Big Pharma" conspiracy theory, I'll tell them this: "Yeah, Big Pharma IS responsible for a conspiracy to vaccinate people so they can prevent the truth about the moon landing from getting out. And that truth? NASA DID go to the moon, but only to prove Earth was flat." If a conspiracy "theorist" believes one such crackpot idea, they're going to believe all the others due to crank magnetism. And it's fun to watch multiple crank ideas duke it out. I bet these people still think pro wrestling is real, too.
My mom would 100% fall for this shit. She's into MLMs, the law of attraction, "the secret," coconut oil cures everything, toxic positivity - you name it! 🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️
I had to break off a close friendship because she got into all kinds of that stuff too. Applied kinesology, homeopathy, laser chakra activation/stimulation, essential oils, and on and on. It seemed like every week there was something new. She spent hundreds of dollars on these so-called cures all the while touting their effectiveness when she had never been diagnosed by a real doctor in the first place. It was the chiropractor doing the muscle testing, diagnosing something based on alleged muscle weakness and then prescribing all of these junk pseudoscience treatments to her that, coincidentally, he could provide right there in his office. One day I just couldn't take it anymore and when she asked me what I thought about "Dr. Kevin" I let loose my pent up frustration at the charlatans who were robbing her blind. She got defensive of course. We stopped hanging out shortly after that.
@@oregoncoastbeachcomber2060 I feel sorry for her and everyone else who's got a bad case of crank magnetism. That shit's why we need to teach critical thinking skills to people before they end up in those rabbit holes
Biblical references to oils weren't "essential oils". The technology to extract those ingredients did not exist. Instead, they may have been the "oils of" Myrrh and Frankincense. Most likely in their resin form, but not unlikely to be pressed into oils. Just not "essential oils". The intent of those stories in the Bible and elsewhere were to condone the action of gifting, of sharing, or respect and love not simply imbue readers/followers with access to magical ingredients.
At that point in history, are essential oils even that easily obtainable compared to the raw thing for average people? Because I imagine unlike now, EOs were *very* expensive then.
@@crowdemon_archives They weren't just expensive, they didn't exist. Essential oils are produced through a complicated distillation process that wasn't developed until recently. They are also very wasteful, in that it can take thousands of pound of plant matter to produce just 1 pound of essential oil. Historically aromatic liquid oils would've been made by infusing resins, spices, etc, into a carrier oil, usually by heating these ingredients together (putting them in a jar in the sun is a common method). A big issue I have with essential oils marketing is that the medical claims they make aren't even based on traditional uses, since that didn't exist.
I feel like YL wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They wanted to appeal to Christianity while also appealing to New Age/New Thought spiritualism which is an issue since both usually hate each other but oils attract both so you have to choose (or stay silent).
The idea that there are healing oils in the Bible is ridiculous. There are oils, but they were for ceremonial and not medicinal purposes and I'm pretty sure co-opting religious objects for personal use must be some kind of blasphemy anyway. Even if I was religious I'd never integrate it with a business because any advantages are offset by having to deal with amateur inquisitors on the long run.
Speaking of ceremonial oils, Rabbi Ruti Regan posted on Twitter, not that long ago, in one of her Parsha Chat discussions about the Bible from a Jewish perspective, about a Bible verse in which they refer to a ceremonial role ("office") having a distinct scent, and about restrictions on making the oil that produced this scent if you weren't authorized to do so - which makes sense if the oil is ceremonial, because if it was, producing that scent when you aren't authorized to is akin to forging a signature or badge.
@@lsmmoore1 Smell authorization sounds wild to people now what with access to perfumes, but that actually makes sense if you think about it using the same logic that got us "purple is a royal color". Food for worldbuilding there, using scents as a status indicator instead of colors or fabrics...
@@neoqwerty And there are people who use logic like that nowadays. Like an elementary school teacher I had who arbitrarily decided that Crayola skinny markers were for teachers only (even though Crayola anything is made for all ages, and elementary school age is the right age for their detail markers). And I bet there are quite a few teachers employing similar logic, btw. Because it's easy to get away with that type of BS in elementary schools, and some teachers go into that job to power trip (not all, not by far, but it's pretty easy to tell who those teachers are, particularly when you look at them in retrospect).
just so we're clear, this woman was ok with drowning babies and poisoning their customers, but YL company leaders not believing in her brand of christianity was just.. too much for her.
That got me laughing. In the 80's found the book that was in the Exorcist, on exorcism. When certain people in the Jehovah's witnesses saw my books on reincarnation they would want to come in the house .Reading books doesn't make you go into the dark side of the world. God gave us a brain and we know how to use it
I'm assuming that means at one time there was a book she had (such as this one) that she later found out was demonic. Meaning it represents ideas that go against Christianity.
There's a belief that certain things like books, knick-knacks, symbols, etc. that people have in their homes with no purpose or intent in regards to the spiritual world, that gives evil spirits a "legal" entry to inhabit. By having those items, the evil forces will work to bring discourse in your life making you unhappy, friction with your family, laying seeds of temptations, etc. I have a friend that has explained all that to me.
The amusing thing is if we break all of the religious symbolism down to a secular philosophical level, I actually agree with the lady that the book is "satanic." xD And I don't even mean "satanic" as in "evil," but more as in regards to "pride" and "what the individual wants." This is at least within the framework when old Jewish theology had more of a theme of "truth vs. pride" rather than the dualistic "good vs. evil" after the 2nd temple period (and I don't know if Drew reads comments on your channel, but I'm thinking that this topic may interest him as the religious philosophies nerd inside me goes off, lol). Meanwhile, I tend to like looking at the God of the old testament as a representation of truth itself (can be arbitrary, overwhelming, and compels humility), which interestingly corresponds a lot to truth in the atheistic sense in a number of ways. While the God of the old testament tends to have a reputation of being a real jerk, the take home message is the idea of "humbling myself to truths I may not personally like," which is absolutely necessary for the scientific method to work as it aligns with "humbling myself to overwhelming evidence based on repeated measurements." Now when we get to the prosperity gospel people and woo woo new age "law of attraction" people, their motto of "God or the universe will bless me as long as I continue to think positive / be faithful enough" runs completely contrary to the "fear of God" in my opinion. It's no longer about "humbling myself to truths I may not like," but "wanting something to be true hard enough until it works." That's no longer "fear of God," but "worshipping what I want God/the truth to be," which aligns with that person's pride. (meanwhile, cue my hot take that truth seeking atheists ironically "fear God" more than the hyper religious folk who worship what I call "first world problems God." The atheists just don't call it that.)
In the quote show. At 12:07, it references the “I AM”: this is a reference to the “Great I AM”, which is part of New Age/Ascended Masters ideology. Read Constance Cumby’s “The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow”. It’s excellent.
Years ago, someone gave me a pamphlet that they give all potential customers, several new age words jumped out as I was reading over their descriptions of their various oils. Positive energy, centering, etc. so I knew it was not a company I would support. I’m glad fellow Christians are understanding that as well.
wow i lost it at the breast cancer bit, my grandmother passed from this horrible disease and to directly suggest if she loved more or was loved more or used some essential oil she wouldnt have died makes me f*cking sick
I love how the longer I've watched you, the more piercing that appear on you lol. I look forward to see which, if any, you get next. I think the ones you have are great for your face shape. This video and all your videos are so well researched and thought out. I always get excited when I see you posted, keep it up!
Yay! That’s good, cuz I’m planning on getting more! I’ve always been super interested in body modification/piercings/tattoos, but when I worked in the airline industry I couldn’t get any. Now that I don’t and just do YT full time, I’m going a little piercing crazy! Lol
@@theantibot that's awesome! I'm super excited to see what you get next. You seem to be taking really good care of the ones you have. Especially the brow piercing, they are infamous for rejecting and getting infected, so I'm happy to see how clean and well-healed yours is. If you ever wanna watch some funny piercing videos there is a UA-camr named Roly who does amazing commentary and advice for people who have or are planning to get piercings. Also, not going to lie, I lowkey fangirled when I saw that you had liked and replied to my post. It's always nice to interact with creators. Anywho, ya girl has a midterm due at midnight. I hope you have a great rest of your day!
Yeah, my eyebrow piercing has been a bitch to heal honestly. I keep it clean, but it’s definitely taken longer to heal than my other ones. Good luck on your midterms!
My UA-cam video algorithm sometimes makes strange suggestions. Which brought me to you channel. I am a long time viewer of GM Skeptic, so I am glad to find Antibot. I am not too familiar with MLMs or Essential Oils, so this has been educational. What is most amazing to me is the size of the Christian products market. My local book store has one shelf of philosophy books and two isles of Christian books. Thanks for the information.
Thanks for mentioning law of attraction too. Its not new but I remember that Oprah was pushing it like an idiot. Thanks again for another amazing video. Your long form stuff is definitely worth watching.
I lost my second oldest brother to complications from AIDS, my oldest brother passed away from pseudomitsoma peritonei (which is completely operable now), lost my father from leukemia and my mother from Alzheimer's in a period of 25-26 years. If anyone would have come to any of them with some miracle oil cure, they probably would have tried it out of desperation. And that thought makes me want to throw up. The death of Christianity will come at the hand of Christians like these, who are also responsible for the death of many who believed them as they struggled to breathe from the panini we are still on. The idea that people are running around giving people oils to cure deathly diseases and basically discard actual doctors, is a horrible legacy for the Christian now. And to prove to you that these Christians don't even understand their own religion, her upset over what Jesus did and didn't do but completely ignoring the fact that the whole thing says "the father, the son and the holy spirit" which is supposed to be in every single one of us because Jesus died for our sins....in other words, we are god through the holy spirit, according to the bible they all claim to follow. This is infuriating, sorry for the novel.
"The darkest and most demonic book I've ever had in my house." I want to make an edgy comment, but I can't think of one. I've literally sat here for minutes (minutes!) trying to think of something edgy to write. But I can't. You win this time, Jesus. 😾
@henry McLaughlin I'm assuming that means at one time there was a book she had (such as this one) that she later found out was demonic.

This is one of those situations where an emotional individual makes claims about reality that simply cannot be demonstrated. What’s crazier is that while the company they’re making allegations towards is not in fact guilty of said allegations, they do so many other wrong things including taking advantage of hundreds of thousands of people that it’s difficult to even defend the company.
These sayings sound very familiar. There’s this book called “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay that has very similar type affirmations as well as diagnosing things like UTIs as you being too pissed of.
That one woman is so scared of the ideas in a book! Wow. She was about to cry. I'm just, wut? Is she that gullible or is she a disingenuous scammer? Did her upline trick her into switching mlms? Or is she tricking her downline?
Totally made my day! So an MLM went from fundamentaly evangelical to new age - replacing one delusional mind set with another and people freak out. Sorry that I can't help laughing. I know that this esoteric mumbo jumbo is harmful - but I hear this bs from new agers since decades, so not actually something new.
What an amazing book, so in tune with today. Where can I get this book? It is so up to date in today quantum age. Please tell me how I can get this book. Hopeful
YL brought this on themselves by courting people who already had a religion. When you have a man with two guv'nors, and the two begin to clash, it causes cognitive dissonance, which is uncomfortable. We're driven to avoid discomfort, so typically the person will try to avoid the pain of cognitive dissonance by the method that seems to require the least mental effort, which is by trying to reconcile the two ideologies in their mind just enough to reach a compromise they can live with. (All of which makes sense from a biological standpoint. Brains are expensive to run, and the body just wants to be able to function again without feeling distracted by nagging doubts, not to go into deep thought trying to reach a rational conclusion. Hence, the brain routes around the worrisome thoughts as efficiently as it can from a strictly short-term viewpoint.) BUT, when the clash of two belief systems gets too serious for the mind to smooth over, there's a crisis of faith and the person will have to pick a winner -- whichever of the two belief systems they hold as the higher priority for whatever reason. This often results in a dramatic heel turn and the person turning fully, viciously against the 'losing' ideology while doubling down on the winner. YL has been testing these waters for a while and probably thought their indoctrination was strong enough that there wouldn't be backlash to their latest woo chant pamphlet. And still, I imagine there are some oily huns who weren't as Christian as these leavers who are speaking up. Maybe for them the YL ideoilogy won out, and they're still in. I also imagine there are lots of crunchy Christians with more room for woo in their beliefs, and they haven't undergone a critical clash of beliefs yet, so they're still in too. Wow, long essay. Anyway, thanks for this vid. Always fascinating to me to try to understand these trends among huns and scammers.
How did it take the Christians this long to realize that these organizations eventually lead to Occult thought? If you follow essential oil groups for long enough, you begin to learn about the new age and spirituality and at the heart of it is the idea of pantheism. The two groups are incompatible and watching them try to integrate is laughable at best and doomed to succeed at worst. This is wishful thinking at its best.
1. I love your hair (sorry to comment on your appearance but my hair isn't what it used to be so I'm hyper aware of good hair) 2. I appreciate your thoughtful, well researched content. Your presentation is flawless too. 3. I used to be a Jamberry consultant and am so glad I got out. It started to get really culty. I went to one conference and there was a manifesto of sorts that they made us all read out loud together in a huge auditorium. It gave me the creeps.
Hey Tahlor since you mentioned it can you please do a bit on NLP and the Hunger project? It was pretty scarey back in the day. I knew a guy who was all in with Werner Erhard. Really nice guy. Smart as a whip but frigging crazy as hec.
All that nonsense aside my problem with most Christians is most have never read the entire Bible themselves without some minister giving their interpretations as most just read certain books of the Bible coz if they did I don't think many would continue with their beliefs. I hate sounding misogynistic but it's so infuriating when mothers become housewives stop educating themselves & become easy prey to scams like this it's the same all over the world
I think she is trying to say, the people who wrote the book have been influenced in the writing of it, to write and claim such blasphemous things. It's truly unbelievable they would write such things, with such a huge influence of Christians to push and sell the product. It literally goes against everything Christians believe. I don't blame her for feeling that way. I applaud her for bringing it to light, and spreading the Truth. God will bless her mightily for standing up against this. God bless her and her family for choosing what's right, even in the face of losing a large part of their income. God will provide all they need. 🌷😇🌷🙏🌷 Fyi, I don't believe in any of this garbage. I believe in God. Period.
Doesn’t it sort of sound like a pagan spell book? That neurolinguistics is a questionable practice. It sounds like Satanism in the sense that “I am a god” and” My will is the whole of the law”. I am Catholic and we believe and the Holy Spirit of love can heal and that certain words and rituals can bring one closer to the spiritual realm, and the words and actions read here. Can’t open a door. They should have named the book” hey let’s start a cult”
I like EO, I use them and not because of my Christian values or someone talked me into it. I'm a firm believer in experiencing things for myself. I've literally experienced some positive results after using oils, when I was so desperate because the doctors couldn't figure it out and I waisted money on tests, co-pays and deductibles. I've also used some oils, that did nothing for me. I've used prescriptions that have made me sicker than I was before I used it too. I won't discount people's own experiences because that's their own . I feel sorry for people who have gotten talked into spending more money then they should have on any MLM. Anyone can use anything for bad intentions. They can also use it for good. I use YL, but I watch videos like this to keep a good perspective. I didn't believe everything I was told with YL and I won't do that here either. I'll vet the information for myself, and not take anyone's word. That is the beauty behind forums like YT. Lots of information to weigh in on....👍
Every time I see or hear people like this I hear this in my head: I don't like you because you don't believe that my imaginary friend actually exists!😂
8:37 If the quotes are correct, apart from essential oils, which probably do have some properties (tested out tea tree when it came to scabies, it works!), that book seems to have some issue. I don't think that issue has any essential bearing on the use of essential oils in general, though.
9:00 While Young Living wouldn't be my _favourit_e supply for Tea tree oil (should I need it again), if none other was available or it was the cheapest, I would not feel a need to boycott it.
I was with young living for years and made no money. Loved the oils and still use them, but never went too deep. I was mainly taken in by connecting the oils to my Christian faith, like the lady in the video said. In addition, the group as a whole became completely antivax during COVID and I was done.
This video is SATANIC not Young Living. Young Living has been such an incredible contribution to my life, my families life, my clients, my friends in all levels of mind, body and energy.
I can say this video shows what both women do not know. That’s a lot. Furthermore your religious view is that! A point of view snd does not make it true! There’s so much science to back everything you quoted yet you don’t believe it doesn’t make not true! Just a belief and beliefs change! I find it interesting how triggered people are like the gal against the book! I SMH I see snd hear so much projection and mind reading strictly only coming from your point of view on to the company, people, and anyone who sees it differently! We are all on our own path. We are all responsible for our own choices. You both have a lot of learning and lessons to go through! Good luck with that!
Guessing the affirmations are fo4 targeting people who are "new age" and like things like horoscopes and modern spirituality etc and they mixed up the promo materials used for targeting evangelicals.😂
Honestly, I feel bad for the lady. And the stuff that she was reading didn't really come across as Christian so I guess I see her point.. I dunno! She seems nice.
Maybe these MLMers haven’t realized their god is purposefully allowing the rise and fall of their MLM businesses as a cruel joke. You would think an all powerful god would create one unified message all people understand. Also the cognitive dissonance of that one lady saying that breaking away from Young Living is not about money dutifully noted.
In the Caddo language (spoken by Caddo tribe from the American South), Satan is called "Mister Horn" :) I feel for these people though. Most of them were highly indoctrinated and the reality they fully believe in seems terrifying to experience.
I use positive self-affirmation all the time. It's really powerful! "Those people are cray cray! Thank the gods I'm not that dumb!" "I love when people accept my love. That person doesn't want my love. Moving on." "You believe a guy listened to a burning bush for guidance, but you think a guy taking dictation from a god in a cave is crazy? I think both y'all are crazy, but you do you."
I tried affirmations during a difficult period of my life. Result? Nothing positive, just prolonged a bad situation. Not saying they made it worse, but the whole wishful thinking thing was a waste of time.
Yeah pay no attention to the fact I was paid by there competitors. Any time you mix Jesus and I want to make money,it's evil.She talks about the Bible but seems to forget the story of the ,people selling items on the steps of the chruch,church, ran over kicking them out.this was ment to teach you,don't use God to make money.
Hey, all! I think I made a mistake in this video: Marcella Von Harting is actually the Royal Crown Diamond in YL, not Robert Tennyson. My bad! One of these days I’ll get a video out with zero mistakes. 😅
I feel for the lady. She seems truly genuinely concerned about this book and it's effect on her faith. However, she's a snake oil salesmen being mad at snake oil salesmen
Wait until she reads what the Bible says about slavery...
Key word "seems"
@@thefisherking78 well that's why I used it as a qualifier... Should could truly believe that. And either way I feel for her.
I feel disgusted with her. She's just as much of a delusional fruitcake as the people she condemns, but her brainwashing felt challenged by other brainwashing and kicked into defense mode. Literally EVERYONE who reads scripture twist it to suit their own narrative, but they can only see it happening when someone twists it a different way than they do.
something about honor among thieves…?
It's amazing to me how powerful evangelicals think Satan is. When my parents took me to a mainline Lutheran church when I was a kid, the preacher said thinking Satan and demons had any power was blasphemous. I'm no longer Christian, and don't believe in any supernatural stuff, but the right-wing Evangelicals seem like a totally different religion to me. Satan is much more important to them than God is.
Apparently evangelicals also think that any initiative to bring peace to the world, or rights to any and all disenfranchised groups, is originated from Satan as well and is a trap and a setup for a "one world government". I'm betting your Lutheran preacher would think THAT is blasphemous too, right along with the assertion by folks claiming these things that this is a part of normal Christianity and what the Bible is "truly communicating". That latter assertion, btw, has even a lot of non-Christians in evangelical-dominant regions convinced that most Christians believe that particular brand of nonsense.
@@lsmmoore1 I... what?
(not a Christian in any way btw, but what)
@@crowdemon_archives I think it's stupid as well. Apparently there are whole swathes of evangelicals who believe this nonsense and tell their flocks it's normal Christianity (helped by books like the Left Behind series). I don't think America is that nutty across the board, but it is something worth collecting data on. At least to see how many people are being lied to in this manner, and in what areas.
@@crowdemon_archives I was raised Evangelical (Southern Baptist) and yes, what you have heard is correct. I was taught that the Anti-Christ would bring world peace and the like. Peace was viewed as almost a dirty word.
It’s demonic to over eat too.
My mother was in to this kind of thing back in the 80s and 90s.
I swear, there’s nothing new under the sun.
When I was a kid my mother wouldn’t take us to the doctor or hospital (especially not me since I was the scapegoat child) or give us medications.
If I got a cold or the flu she would tell me it was my own fault for thinking negative thoughts. When I became a teen and had period cramps so severe that I fainted, I was also told it was my fault for inviting negative vibes in to my life and now it was manifesting as pain.
Knee dislocated? My fault for being negative. Pop it back in place and walk it off.
Fainted from heat exhaustion? Nope, not heat exhaustion, negative vibes and I should be more positive. Now stop drinking water and sitting there and let’s keep hiking.
She had a crystal on her nightstand that was supposed to charge her positive vibrations while she slept.
She also had a crystal in front of a few dollar bills almost like a shrine and that was supposed to help bring her wealth. It never did.
It’s wild to me how much of the stuff I grew up with is bordering on mainstream now. Or at least common in woo circles.
It scares me because I was absolutely medically neglected and abused.
I hate to think that there’s countless kids out there being raised in a similar way. I hope there’s someone else there to help them if they need it.
Wow your mother needs to be locked up inside a mental institution facility. Your mother isn't normal. It's not your fault. You needed see a doctor. I had a friend her child has autism and the mom told her that it's the child's fault because negative child. No what kind of grandma. No you needed to see an OB they prescribed special medical for cramps.
@intan2768 I’m good. I’m married and have a kid.
I’m very low contact with my mother. It would be no contact, but she lives with my grandma and forces her way in every chance she gets.
I don’t like her being around my kid.
She got breast cancer a couple years ago and she will only trust surgeons and surgery. She flat refuses to do chemo or radiation because “that stuff is poison and makes the cancer worse.”
She’s convinced that between surgery and a specific diet she’ll be fine.
And who knows, maybe she will be. Maybe in the 3 surgeries she’s had they got all the cancer and it hasn’t metastasized. But literally no one knows because she won’t do any scans or blood work because she thinks those are “just scams invented by Big Pharma to make money off scared people”.
So, any day now she could break a bone and find out she has advanced bone cancer, or she could live to be 90 convinced that positive thinking and that diet cured her, when really it was that the surgeons got all the cancer cells before they spread.
Either way, after my grandma passes away, I plan to go fully no contact with my mother.
She done a lot more awful stuff and continues to try to manipulate and abuse me, my brother, my dad, and my kid. I plan to remove my kid and I from that cycle.
@@Annie_Annie__ wow, wild. It's cray to me how the folks who beleive in faith healing, magic and The Lord's powers think chemo or radiation will destroy their magic beliefs. Like... if God were so awesome, wouldn't he make you immune to those things, or pull you through it... if he loved you enough?
Anyways, hope you can deal with the things she does as long as she's around to pester you
Yeah guys, I totally left Young Living because of Satan. Pay no attention at all to the money I was offered to switch.
I was thinking the same, but the rep seemed genuinely upset. So I'm buying her explanation.
Doesn't mean I would believe in Satan or God, just that she looked and sounded truly shaken by what she had read.
I know I left YL because of the Jesus! (Thank goodness.) And the itovi gadget...
@@dharmafey omg I totally forgot about the itovi scan. What was the deal with that thing?!
@@spa-peggymeatballs4861 it's a biofeedback device. It just told you to buy different oils every time you did it, even 2 minutes apart. I'm a clinical mental health counselor, and I know a little about biofeedback. And actual biofeedback is consistent and measures something tangible! Im also woo-woo so I would totally have bought into it if it wasn't just making things up every time you reset the thing. Like a slot machine!
@@elainelouve because nobody has ever played up their emotions for the sake of money or power?
Watching someone start to actually shed tears over oils and nonsense words is bringing me an unexpected sense of schadenfreude.
The Divil'll get you! (If'n he ain't all'ready?)
As a radiation therapist who treats cancer patients this is so freaking infuriating. One of the nurses in the department just found out she has breast cancer.. to think that people are saying that’s HER FAULT is appalling. Ugh! Also, how can that rep condemn someone for not believing in Jesus.. do you have to be Christian to be in YL? What??
I don’t think there’s like a requirement to be a Christian, but I think if someone joined who wasn’t a Christian they’d have a very rough time.
@@theantibot It would seem to be that YL targets and manipulates Christians, much like Jim Jones would.
The only difference being that YL uses them to hawk their products than drink the Kool Aid.
As a cancer genetic counselor I've seen too many patients who waited to get treatment for their cancer because they wanted to try oils first...never blame the patient, it's the soulless companies that are peddling this snake oil
I have never heard anything about the requirements of being a Christian before joining YL. I have been with this company close to 4 years. The reference of the Bible is in my opinion, because God made trees and plants with healing properties and the EOs are from the trees and plants.
@@lifestylemanagement2063 So you do need to be a Christian to believe that a god made the trees for the essential oils...
Fun fact, "Modere!" is a full German sentence. It's the imperative form of the verb "modern" which means to rot or molden, so "Modere!" would be an exclamation ordering you to rot or grow moldy. It could also be 1st person singular present, "Ich modere", meaning "I'm rotting".
😹 I guess Modere won’t be expanding in German-speaking countries!
@@pvanpelt1 it actually also just means Modern, as with many English words and phrases that can mean two things, often opposite of each other depending on context. Not defending any MLM, but I'm sure they are going for the Modern usage, not the rot and decay one. It is pretty funny that it has that DOUBLE MEANING though.
@@Sendarya Is the "modern" meaning from loanwording english modern or is the german word also rooted from late latin "modernus" (which is from latin "modo")? Asking as an etymology nerd who can't figure out a way to ask google to give me the etymology of the german word (I just get french "modere", "moderated").
Sounds like the same problem Chevrolet had with the Nova because in Spanish speaking countries "Nova " meant "won't go".
Needless to say, not many of that model was sold even though it was a good car!
@@neoqwerty The English word modern (in the sense of current, timely, up-to-date) exists identically in German as well, but is pronounced differently from the verb meaning rot. (Emphasis on the first syllable for _rotting_, second syllable for _recent_)
They are etymologically distinct, the rot verb is closer in origin to the German "Moor" (bog, swamp) and "Moos" (moss) or the English "mud". The earliest references I've found with a quick google search go back to the 15. century. There's references to many similar words over the centuries in Middle High German and Scandinavian languages with meanings along the lines of impure, fecal, decay, mud, swamp, thicket or moist.
I live in Utah and I despise YL and DoTerra. I am a part of the medical field and health care professionals have a hard time treating patients because they ingest these oils causing a challenge to treat serious illnesses due to the interactions between oils and medication. Diffusers are used in rooms causing asthma and other breathing problems. The most disturbing is that children are given these oils as well. This culture is predominantly anti-vax and is a major problem in infectious disease.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
They are anti-vax, which is already truly deadly, and also promote ingesting oils that are NOT meant to be ingested.
I don't even understand how it does not say so in the package- even bleach has a warning and you'd think everyone would know not to drink it (then again...recent events have made us all wonder about that...).
Have you run into cancer patients whose situation became worse because they opted for oils instead of actual medical science?
I cannot help wonder how many people may not have died because of this oil insanity.
Most people consuming these oils have no idea how highly concentrated they are. Many of them will take the polish off your nails or strip the varnish from furniture. Regularly using them on your skin, even diluted, can sensitize it can cause new allergic skin reactions. Most of them have never been studied to determine whether they're safe for internal use, but these companies promote that.
Anti-vax, essential oils? What else do these cranks believe? 9/11 denialism? Obama birtherism? Moon landing denialism?
If one of those essential oil cranks tries to pitch some pyramid scheme to me AND trots out the "Big Pharma" conspiracy theory, I'll tell them this: "Yeah, Big Pharma IS responsible for a conspiracy to vaccinate people so they can prevent the truth about the moon landing from getting out. And that truth? NASA DID go to the moon, but only to prove Earth was flat." If a conspiracy "theorist" believes one such crackpot idea, they're going to believe all the others due to crank magnetism. And it's fun to watch multiple crank ideas duke it out.
I bet these people still think pro wrestling is real, too.
Hey, at least she recognizes culty red flags... Maybe this will be the first step in her journey to seeing MLMs in general are culty
My mom would 100% fall for this shit. She's into MLMs, the law of attraction, "the secret," coconut oil cures everything, toxic positivity - you name it! 🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️
I had to break off a close friendship because she got into all kinds of that stuff too. Applied kinesology, homeopathy, laser chakra activation/stimulation, essential oils, and on and on. It seemed like every week there was something new.
She spent hundreds of dollars on these so-called cures all the while touting their effectiveness when she had never been diagnosed by a real doctor in the first place.
It was the chiropractor doing the muscle testing, diagnosing something based on alleged muscle weakness and then prescribing all of these junk pseudoscience treatments to her that, coincidentally, he could provide right there in his office.
One day I just couldn't take it anymore and when she asked me what I thought about "Dr. Kevin" I let loose my pent up frustration at the charlatans who were robbing her blind. She got defensive of course. We stopped hanging out shortly after that.
@@oregoncoastbeachcomber2060 I feel sorry for her and everyone else who's got a bad case of crank magnetism. That shit's why we need to teach critical thinking skills to people before they end up in those rabbit holes
@@neoqwerty you are 100% correct!
I am sorry your mom is so delusional about those things. Perhaps when all the dreams DON'T manifest, she will begin to realize it is a load of crap.
Biblical references to oils weren't "essential oils". The technology to extract those ingredients did not exist. Instead, they may have been the "oils of" Myrrh and Frankincense. Most likely in their resin form, but not unlikely to be pressed into oils. Just not "essential oils". The intent of those stories in the Bible and elsewhere were to condone the action of gifting, of sharing, or respect and love not simply imbue readers/followers with access to magical ingredients.
At that point in history, are essential oils even that easily obtainable compared to the raw thing for average people? Because I imagine unlike now, EOs were *very* expensive then.
@@crowdemon_archives They weren't just expensive, they didn't exist. Essential oils are produced through a complicated distillation process that wasn't developed until recently. They are also very wasteful, in that it can take thousands of pound of plant matter to produce just 1 pound of essential oil. Historically aromatic liquid oils would've been made by infusing resins, spices, etc, into a carrier oil, usually by heating these ingredients together (putting them in a jar in the sun is a common method). A big issue I have with essential oils marketing is that the medical claims they make aren't even based on traditional uses, since that didn't exist.
I’m old enough to remember when Dana Carvey was on SNL, and all I can think of his his Church Lady routine, always blaming Satan 😹
If she is ready to even abandon shopping at Target, that means a lot
I feel like YL wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They wanted to appeal to Christianity while also appealing to New Age/New Thought spiritualism which is an issue since both usually hate each other but oils attract both so you have to choose (or stay silent).
I moved this video to the front of my Watch Later because it sounded so insane. Thanks for the video! It didn't disappoint 😆
Yay! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
actually being worried about Satan seems exhausting
Not to mention that it's frightening to children
The idea that there are healing oils in the Bible is ridiculous. There are oils, but they were for ceremonial and not medicinal purposes and I'm pretty sure co-opting religious objects for personal use must be some kind of blasphemy anyway. Even if I was religious I'd never integrate it with a business because any advantages are offset by having to deal with amateur inquisitors on the long run.
Speaking of ceremonial oils, Rabbi Ruti Regan posted on Twitter, not that long ago, in one of her Parsha Chat discussions about the Bible from a Jewish perspective, about a Bible verse in which they refer to a ceremonial role ("office") having a distinct scent, and about restrictions on making the oil that produced this scent if you weren't authorized to do so - which makes sense if the oil is ceremonial, because if it was, producing that scent when you aren't authorized to is akin to forging a signature or badge.
Even if they were used for healing, that was back then. I’m sure they would use modern medicine if they had it.
@@lsmmoore1 Smell authorization sounds wild to people now what with access to perfumes, but that actually makes sense if you think about it using the same logic that got us "purple is a royal color".
Food for worldbuilding there, using scents as a status indicator instead of colors or fabrics...
@@neoqwerty And there are people who use logic like that nowadays. Like an elementary school teacher I had who arbitrarily decided that Crayola skinny markers were for teachers only (even though Crayola anything is made for all ages, and elementary school age is the right age for their detail markers).
And I bet there are quite a few teachers employing similar logic, btw. Because it's easy to get away with that type of BS in elementary schools, and some teachers go into that job to power trip (not all, not by far, but it's pretty easy to tell who those teachers are, particularly when you look at them in retrospect).
just so we're clear, this woman was ok with drowning babies and poisoning their customers, but YL company leaders not believing in her brand of christianity was just.. too much for her.

One of the most demonic books she’s had in her home? I wonder what other demonic books she has 🤔 /j
That got me laughing. In the 80's found the book that was in the Exorcist, on exorcism. When certain people in the Jehovah's witnesses saw my books on reincarnation they would want to come in the house .Reading books doesn't make you go into the dark side of the world. God gave us a brain and we know how to use it
I'm assuming that means at one time there was a book she had (such as this one) that she later found out was demonic. Meaning it represents ideas that go against Christianity.
There's a belief that certain things like books, knick-knacks, symbols, etc. that people have in their homes with no purpose or intent in regards to the spiritual world, that gives evil spirits a "legal" entry to inhabit. By having those items, the evil forces will work to bring discourse in your life making you unhappy, friction with your family, laying seeds of temptations, etc. I have a friend that has explained all that to me.
The amusing thing is if we break all of the religious symbolism down to a secular philosophical level, I actually agree with the lady that the book is "satanic." xD
And I don't even mean "satanic" as in "evil," but more as in regards to "pride" and "what the individual wants." This is at least within the framework when old Jewish theology had more of a theme of "truth vs. pride" rather than the dualistic "good vs. evil" after the 2nd temple period (and I don't know if Drew reads comments on your channel, but I'm thinking that this topic may interest him as the religious philosophies nerd inside me goes off, lol).
Meanwhile, I tend to like looking at the God of the old testament as a representation of truth itself (can be arbitrary, overwhelming, and compels humility), which interestingly corresponds a lot to truth in the atheistic sense in a number of ways. While the God of the old testament tends to have a reputation of being a real jerk, the take home message is the idea of "humbling myself to truths I may not personally like," which is absolutely necessary for the scientific method to work as it aligns with "humbling myself to overwhelming evidence based on repeated measurements."
Now when we get to the prosperity gospel people and woo woo new age "law of attraction" people, their motto of "God or the universe will bless me as long as I continue to think positive / be faithful enough" runs completely contrary to the "fear of God" in my opinion. It's no longer about "humbling myself to truths I may not like," but "wanting something to be true hard enough until it works." That's no longer "fear of God," but "worshipping what I want God/the truth to be," which aligns with that person's pride. (meanwhile, cue my hot take that truth seeking atheists ironically "fear God" more than the hyper religious folk who worship what I call "first world problems God." The atheists just don't call it that.)
In the quote show. At 12:07, it references the “I AM”: this is a reference to the “Great I AM”, which is part of New Age/Ascended Masters ideology.
Read Constance Cumby’s “The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow”. It’s excellent.
Years ago, someone gave me a pamphlet that they give all potential customers, several new age words jumped out as I was reading over their descriptions of their various oils. Positive energy, centering, etc. so I knew it was not a company I would support. I’m glad fellow Christians are understanding that as well.
wow i lost it at the breast cancer bit, my grandmother passed from this horrible disease and to directly suggest if she loved more or was loved more or used some essential oil she wouldnt have died makes me f*cking sick
I love how the longer I've watched you, the more piercing that appear on you lol. I look forward to see which, if any, you get next. I think the ones you have are great for your face shape. This video and all your videos are so well researched and thought out. I always get excited when I see you posted, keep it up!
Yay! That’s good, cuz I’m planning on getting more! I’ve always been super interested in body modification/piercings/tattoos, but when I worked in the airline industry I couldn’t get any. Now that I don’t and just do YT full time, I’m going a little piercing crazy! Lol
@@theantibot that's awesome! I'm super excited to see what you get next. You seem to be taking really good care of the ones you have. Especially the brow piercing, they are infamous for rejecting and getting infected, so I'm happy to see how clean and well-healed yours is. If you ever wanna watch some funny piercing videos there is a UA-camr named Roly who does amazing commentary and advice for people who have or are planning to get piercings. Also, not going to lie, I lowkey fangirled when I saw that you had liked and replied to my post. It's always nice to interact with creators. Anywho, ya girl has a midterm due at midnight. I hope you have a great rest of your day!
Yeah, my eyebrow piercing has been a bitch to heal honestly. I keep it clean, but it’s definitely taken longer to heal than my other ones.
Good luck on your midterms!
Sorry, no. No face is made better looking by stabbing metal into it. It is distracting and unnecessary. Just plain ugly. Ditch the hardware!
She isn't crying enough
Agree
My UA-cam video algorithm sometimes makes strange suggestions. Which brought me to you channel. I am a long time viewer of GM Skeptic, so I am glad to find Antibot. I am not too familiar with MLMs or Essential Oils, so this has been educational. What is most amazing to me is the size of the Christian products market. My local book store has one shelf of philosophy books and two isles of Christian books. Thanks for the information.
Ooop. Savannah Marie said she was gonna read this book on her second channel.
Yeah, I linked her channel in the description.
@@theantibot :D
It is sooo good. Part 2 is out!
Maybe they wanted the new age "spiritual" people's money on top of the christian money...
Thanks for mentioning law of attraction too. Its not new but I remember that Oprah was pushing it like an idiot. Thanks again for another amazing video. Your long form stuff is definitely worth watching.
Between pushing law of attraction, “Dr.” Phil, and Dr. Oz, Oprah has a lot to answer for, tbh.
@@pvanpelt1 yes but at least I got to hear Eckhart Tolle who is simply amazing. I think he is a genius.
I lost my second oldest brother to complications from AIDS, my oldest brother passed away from pseudomitsoma peritonei (which is completely operable now), lost my father from leukemia and my mother from Alzheimer's in a period of 25-26 years. If anyone would have come to any of them with some miracle oil cure, they probably would have tried it out of desperation. And that thought makes me want to throw up. The death of Christianity will come at the hand of Christians like these, who are also responsible for the death of many who believed them as they struggled to breathe from the panini we are still on. The idea that people are running around giving people oils to cure deathly diseases and basically discard actual doctors, is a horrible legacy for the Christian now. And to prove to you that these Christians don't even understand their own religion, her upset over what Jesus did and didn't do but completely ignoring the fact that the whole thing says "the father, the son and the holy spirit" which is supposed to be in every single one of us because Jesus died for our sins....in other words, we are god through the holy spirit, according to the bible they all claim to follow. This is infuriating, sorry for the novel.

Don’t judge not to be judged.
This is one of those situations where an emotional individual makes claims about reality that simply cannot be demonstrated. What’s crazier is that while the company they’re making allegations towards is not in fact guilty of said allegations, they do so many other wrong things including taking advantage of hundreds of thousands of people that it’s difficult to even defend the company.
Damn, comparing MLMs to satanic cults seems unfair to satanic cults.
I just like the smell of frankincense. I’ll stick to incense instead of essential oils.
These sayings sound very familiar. There’s this book called “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay that has very similar type affirmations as well as diagnosing things like UTIs as you being too pissed of.
I LOVE your speaking voice, it's very soothing.
Shenanigans. My big issue with essential oils is parents believing they have a Dr House level of diagnostic skills to treat their children. Arrogance
That one woman is so scared of the ideas in a book! Wow. She was about to cry.
I'm just, wut? Is she that gullible or is she a disingenuous scammer? Did her upline trick her into switching mlms? Or is she tricking her downline?
Alternative medicine that actually works is called..... medicine.
My favorite part was when you cracked up over the B's affirmations 😂 great content
Your intro included humor so I subbed.😆 Thank you very much!!
Here from GM Skeptic's video, subbing!
Totally made my day! So an MLM went from fundamentaly evangelical to new age - replacing one delusional mind set with another and people freak out. Sorry that I can't help laughing. I know that this esoteric mumbo jumbo is harmful - but I hear this bs from new agers since decades, so not actually something new.
What an amazing book, so in tune with today. Where can I get this book? It is so up to date in today quantum age. Please tell me how I can get this book. Hopeful
Somebody I knew used to sell YL and then quit because of this and started selling Modere and I always wondered what the full story was!
I’ve never clicked on a video faster 😭 this title!!!!!!
YL brought this on themselves by courting people who already had a religion.
When you have a man with two guv'nors, and the two begin to clash, it causes cognitive dissonance, which is uncomfortable. We're driven to avoid discomfort, so typically the person will try to avoid the pain of cognitive dissonance by the method that seems to require the least mental effort, which is by trying to reconcile the two ideologies in their mind just enough to reach a compromise they can live with.
(All of which makes sense from a biological standpoint. Brains are expensive to run, and the body just wants to be able to function again without feeling distracted by nagging doubts, not to go into deep thought trying to reach a rational conclusion. Hence, the brain routes around the worrisome thoughts as efficiently as it can from a strictly short-term viewpoint.)
BUT, when the clash of two belief systems gets too serious for the mind to smooth over, there's a crisis of faith and the person will have to pick a winner -- whichever of the two belief systems they hold as the higher priority for whatever reason. This often results in a dramatic heel turn and the person turning fully, viciously against the 'losing' ideology while doubling down on the winner.
YL has been testing these waters for a while and probably thought their indoctrination was strong enough that there wouldn't be backlash to their latest woo chant pamphlet.
And still, I imagine there are some oily huns who weren't as Christian as these leavers who are speaking up. Maybe for them the YL ideoilogy won out, and they're still in. I also imagine there are lots of crunchy Christians with more room for woo in their beliefs, and they haven't undergone a critical clash of beliefs yet, so they're still in too.
Wow, long essay. Anyway, thanks for this vid. Always fascinating to me to try to understand these trends among huns and scammers.
How did it take the Christians this long to realize that these organizations eventually lead to Occult thought? If you follow essential oil groups for long enough, you begin to learn about the new age and spirituality and at the heart of it is the idea of pantheism.
The two groups are incompatible and watching them try to integrate is laughable at best and doomed to succeed at worst.
This is wishful thinking at its best.

All that nonsense aside my problem with most Christians is most have never read the entire Bible themselves without some minister giving their interpretations as most just read certain books of the Bible coz if they did I don't think many would continue with their beliefs.

It's truly unbelievable they would write such things, with such a huge influence of Christians to push and sell the product.
It literally goes against everything Christians believe. I don't blame her for feeling that way.

This kind of thinking is so foreign to me. These people are so out of touch with reality I'm speechless.
Doesn’t it sort of sound like a pagan spell book? That neurolinguistics is a questionable practice. It sounds like Satanism in the sense that “I am a god” and” My will is the whole of the law”. I am Catholic and we believe and the Holy Spirit of love can heal and that certain words and rituals can bring one closer to the spiritual realm, and the words and actions read here. Can’t open a door. They should have named the book” hey let’s start a cult”
What essential oils do I need to consume so I won't hear this shit anymore????
Wintergreen would do it (because it would kill you, do not take wintergreen oil)
Mary Young, sounds like a commandment
I like EO, I use them and not because of my Christian values or someone talked me into it. I'm a firm believer in experiencing things for myself. I've literally experienced some positive results after using oils, when I was so desperate because the doctors couldn't figure it out and I waisted money on tests, co-pays and deductibles. I've also used some oils, that did nothing for me. I've used prescriptions that have made me sicker than I was before I used it too. I won't discount people's own experiences because that's their own . I feel sorry for people who have gotten talked into spending more money then they should have on any MLM. Anyone can use anything for bad intentions. They can also use it for good. I use YL, but I watch videos like this to keep a good perspective. I didn't believe everything I was told with YL and I won't do that here either. I'll vet the information for myself, and not take anyone's word. That is the beauty behind forums like YT. Lots of information to weigh in on....👍
Best comment I've read so far!
Every time I see or hear people like this I hear this in my head: I don't like you because you don't believe that my imaginary friend actually exists!😂
Both groups sound foolish
It's like they took amway and made it evil.
8:37 If the quotes are correct, apart from essential oils, which probably do have some properties (tested out tea tree when it came to scabies, it works!), that book seems to have some issue. I don't think that issue has any essential bearing on the use of essential oils in general, though.
9:00 While Young Living wouldn't be my _favourit_e supply for Tea tree oil (should I need it again), if none other was available or it was the cheapest, I would not feel a need to boycott it.
Interesting point of view. Not mine!
As a Satanist, I don't claim Young Living.
Scam is the correct s-word.
Wow. Even if you take the religious aspect out of it, the people who wrote this book sound like some real Looney Toons…
I was with young living for years and made no money. Loved the oils and still use them, but never went too deep. I was mainly taken in by connecting the oils to my Christian faith, like the lady in the video said. In addition, the group as a whole became completely antivax during COVID and I was done.
Have you some idea of how the founder of Young Living would stand to Maria Treben's Gottes Apotheke (God's pharmacy)?
So much crazy.
This video is SATANIC not Young Living. Young Living has been such an incredible contribution to my life, my families life, my clients, my friends in all levels of mind, body and energy.
I can say this video shows what both women do not know. That’s a lot. Furthermore your religious view is that! A point of view snd does not make it true! There’s so much science to back everything you quoted yet you don’t believe it doesn’t make not true! Just a belief and beliefs change! I find it interesting how triggered people are like the gal against the book! I SMH I see snd hear so much projection and mind reading strictly only coming from your point of view on to the company, people, and anyone who sees it differently! We are all on our own path. We are all responsible for our own choices. You both have a lot of learning and lessons to go through! Good luck with that!
Poor blonde lady. She seems so upset.
Religion is whacky. Harry Potter for grown-ups. Sad.
How ironic, because Daniel Radcliffe is actually an atheist.
@@EpicGamerWinXD69 not irony. He had nothing to do with the book either. Dont know why you think he did
@@zapkvr I'm sorry, where did I say Daniel Radcliffe had some impact on the books, because I literally never said that.
Neither should be taken literally or seriously. Harry Potter was a fun series though.
MLM's Proof positive that theirs one born every minute.

comment for the rhythm🎶
Seems like good ol saint Germain is the entity at the top of this pyramid.
We prayed really hard about it. I’m sorry but 😂
Everything and everyone on BOTH sides is disgusting.
Wow Holy Xenu Engrams Batman!
Guessing the affirmations are fo4 targeting people who are "new age" and like things like horoscopes and modern spirituality etc and they mixed up the promo materials used for targeting evangelicals.😂
Honestly, I feel bad for the lady. And the stuff that she was reading didn't really come across as Christian so I guess I see her point.. I dunno! She seems nice.
Oh great, you might actually need to *defend* Young Living this time.
I guess there is always someone more diluted in their beliefs isn't there?
Just when you think you've seen peak crazy, you get a pleasant surprise
Maybe these MLMers haven’t realized their god is purposefully allowing the rise and fall of their MLM businesses as a cruel joke. You would think an all powerful god would create one unified message all people understand. Also the cognitive dissonance of that one lady saying that breaking away from Young Living is not about money dutifully noted.
Thankful I was able to leave Evangelical Christianity in the 90s. I was thinking it was stupid even when I was a kid.
They are NOT a satanic cult
She Will buy More Young liven
We're not little gods, but reflections of God. We're all different parts of the same thing. It's easy to understand, if you try...
It's always so amusing to me when religious people cry about Satan and things being demonic. Like calm down, Pain Daddy isn't real 😄😈
In the Caddo language (spoken by Caddo tribe from the American South), Satan is called "Mister Horn" :) I feel for these people though. Most of them were highly indoctrinated and the reality they fully believe in seems terrifying to experience.
Talk about reading a book (The Bible) and missing the point.
I use positive self-affirmation all the time. It's really powerful!
"Those people are cray cray! Thank the gods I'm not that dumb!"
"I love when people accept my love. That person doesn't want my love. Moving on."
"You believe a guy listened to a burning bush for guidance, but you think a guy taking dictation from a god in a cave is crazy? I think both y'all are crazy, but you do you."
I tried affirmations during a difficult period of my life. Result? Nothing positive, just prolonged a bad situation. Not saying they made it worse, but the whole wishful thinking thing was a waste of time.
that melissa lady is annoying. cant watch anymore.
Yeah pay no attention to the fact I was paid by there competitors. Any time you mix Jesus and I want to make money,it's evil.She talks about the Bible but seems to forget the story of the ,people selling items on the steps of the chruch,church, ran over kicking them out.this was ment to teach you,don't use God to make money.
Cherry picker Christian geez make it stops please
