My mom grew up in the walk and i will never get used to the stories she tells me. It was shocking how utterly brainwashed my grandma was.
That’s terrible.. I’m so glad she was able to get out!
Someone should make sure that girl is still okay! Kinda weird she just disappeared after sharing information that’s been very carefully and who knows to what extent, kept under wraps. We’re talking about a BILLION dollar business. I don’t think people realize how dangerous doing that is.
Edit: has there been any updates on her? I really hope she’s okay and they didn’t silence her somehow..
Yeah i thought same that they didnt come for her
@@spannajupiter well and since she’s very vocal about living across the street from one of their main gathering spots, they know EXACTLY where to find her. And we’ve seen with other notorious billion dollar companies/cults (Scientology for example) they will literally do whatever they can to silence you (or bring u back) 😥
Edit: plus all the info she has I can’t imagine they wouldn’t want that information in their hands, or at least not in hers.
@@sumbunniii8721 exactly that was one of my worries to
She could be in a lawsuit against them and isn’t able to talk about it right now. At least i hope.
I really hope someone found out ... Is she ok? Was she issued a gag order? .. wish we had an update
This is just so scary to know that it can happen so close to anyone’s home. I guess you never truly know someone.
IKR? Its so scary to think that they can get away with whatever they want to do. And u won't know a thing 🥲
@@jxnn1e- Bullshirt. This "expert" grew up across the street so now she is the EXPERT? These are public declarations, but with a twist inserted from these "ladies" of scandal! I GREW UP ACROSS THE STREET MAN, I KNOW THINGS, I'M AN EXPERT MAN!
@@dianajo7645 and who are you? One of Gary's trolls?
Anyone who read the printed material (much was basically plagiarized rather than a word from god)) can get a pretty good idea of what was going on, if they were looking from the outside. I found it disturbing at the time ...I am an "expert" for a certain time period, on John Robert Stevens, the Walk, The Chruch of the Living Word cult. These ladies did an excellent job on research - but only touched the surface. I for one appreciate this video.
@@MalikaBourne smiling. No. I'm an almost-70-year old woman, NOT a Gary troll. Nice try.
I was part of "the walk" for over 50 years.
You be disturbed; you have your own responses. Whatev. THIS video is a journalistic nightmare and a gleeful, deliberate, hatchet job. All Loie is doing is gossipping, parrotting bullshirt from OTHER people, not even second or third-hand info. She repeats publicly accessible records from disgruntled, offended marshmallows, which she is repeating for profit and for followers on UA-cam. She is marketing herself with sensationalism, innuendo, not-quite-half truths and sly winks. Not my thing. You do you.
I don’t know if this is weird but i love hearing stories about cults. It’s comforting because i grew up in one myself
Same
💜💜💜💜
And it's so much worse when you grow up in a cult, it's not like you yourself made the decision to join. Our parents are supposed to protect us
Same
Same here. Exmo here, and it took me until recently (last few years) to even be able to acknowledge that it was in fact, a cult.
Hi Loey! Mennonite here (Menno USA), living in Amish country. Whether or not an Amish person is allowed to use a radio depends on what their order is like, and is decided by the community elders. Many Amish around here allow some technology outside their homes, up to and including cell phones! However, there are some that refuse to even put reflectors on their buggies and use gas lamps at night instead. It's a big spectrum!
I find it interesting that the Amish aren't more strict in the sense that they aren't all required to follow the same laws or rules or whatever. I would've thought that either you can have technology or you can't. I never would have guessed there were such grey areas like this involved.
@@debtoralive4693 it’s the same way here in MN. It kinda reminds me of different denominations in Christianity. But instead of Catholic/Lutheran/etc, they have “New Order” or “Old Order,” etc. I grew up with Amish neighbors nearby and in general our community has many. I’ve even witnessed one family use an old, small tractor, but I’ve only seen that once.
Anyways, when I was a kid I always thought it was no radio/electronics/no anything like that. Then as I got older I learned about the different types. In general pretty misunderstood but kind people, at least around where I’m at. They have some awesome greenhouses around here that I visit every summer/spring.
I grew up in this cult until I was 19, when John Robert Stevens died. You did a great job with sharing your research
Thank you!
Omg. Tell us more - I’m so sorry you had to go through this 😢
Oh you could write a book about it.
..... I LOVE , searching for & Listening to TRUE CULT STORIES, As well !! 😲😱 👍🏻
( However, it sorta upsets me when Ppl post stories of "True CULT Stories" That happened, to get there all every left one about Christian folks that take their religion too far, End up turning it CULT-like 🫤 )
WHEN I HEAR CULT-STORIES ! . .
IM EXPECTING Satanic-Cults !
So, we’re you abused or witness abuse?
@lostinportlandia3739 okay well ig it means you gotta change what you think is a cult. Not every cult is a satanic one, a lot are Christian or other religion based. ANd a lot of Christianity and their beliefs or practices can be seen as cult like when you meet the more extreme ones. Ik I was raised heavily influenced by the Christian church growing up, you can't just think cult and demand a satanic one. They're gonna be all kinds of them, sorry you got your hopes up? But you gotta realize not every cult is a satanic cult, most aren't even satanic cults
Loey, thank you for continuing to bring light to this issue. It's surreal to see this video with my own voice being shared and I really appreciate how you have portrayed this story. Keep up the great work :)
omg i'm so glad to see you commented! i haven't been on tiktok and got worried when Loey said you only had 2 videos up still!! hope the research is going well
She needs to pin this
I Grew up in the water of life ministries… I always told my family it was 100% difficult and they always called me a Jezebel spirit… I got beat for it, and many other punishments🤨 it’s nice to see other people see these things for what they are now because the longest time I was told I was nuts I was crazy I was driving my family to hell for even questioning
LOL I got called a demonic jezebel as few times myself by the seventh day Adventists in my legal guardians dumb church
I am sorry. God bless.
I had a terrible childhood also, similar to your description, but not in a religious way. I truly hope you are able to cope with those memories well enough to enjoy your life now. I know it is never an easy thing to deal with emotionally, the abuses inflicted upon an innocent child. I used to think I was only beaten when I deserved it, all the way up until I was in my late 20's when I had my own son and realized immediately that I NEVER once had a reason good enough to warrant hitting my child. NEVER! His mistakes did not ever enrage me, they only helped me teach him to correct his errors. You can punish children in effective and loving ways if they mess up. But mostly with calm discussions designed to reach mutual understandings.
Ok, this hit close to home. William Branham was born in the house next door to me. Where I live is his main church and also a ton of his family members that run things around here. Every year around his birthday all of his followers will stop in front of the house next door to me and take pictures with it, it’s super creepy. One of the members tried to burn my rainbow flag which was hanging from my house! I called the police and thankfully we also live around the corner from the police station and they were arrested. But yeah, this hit super close to home! Creepy stuff.
Im so sorry that happened to you, i hope you're safer now 🏳️🌈💖
@@puppyslop that is very kind of you to say. We upgraded our cameras after that day for sure. It's sad that people who ask things like "what would Jesus do" are the same people that would burn a home down with a family inside just because they have different beliefs. I cannot wrap my head around that kind of blind hate, I guess that's a good thing! Have a wonderful rest of your day and a beautiful tomorrow! ❤🏳️🌈
@@illbeyourstumbleine you're so right. and thank you, you as well :)) 💖💖
Stay safe. Be careful. These people aren’t happy to be called out. Or called cults. It worries me that you folks say how close you all live near these places. NEVER give people or type your location when your online. It makes you vulnerable.
Judgement should be left to our creator, and ultimately it will be.
Loey always looks so pretty no matter what video she's making
this is wild. i always felt something was off with my family’s church they go to/own. just now finding out what “the living word church” means. helps me understand why i never felt right going there.
I was part of a cult (that I later found out was part of a legitimate cult watch website with thousands upon thousands of articles), and the similarities between the start of The Walk and mine are eerily similar, but also fascinating given that I have some form of first-hand experience
Which one?
It is eery that the patterns of toxic groups all sound like the other. To me, that is "proof"of something.
I grew up in an Assembly of God church and that alone was enough to scare someone. They made us take a test to see which “Holy super power” we had - i scored pretty high and was seen as a healer at only 11 years old.. They put me in services with adults at 12 and after every sermon i would be called up (the adult sermon may I remind you, i’m the only child in a room of adults) and I “healed” the people who came up and bowed down at the end of the stage. Elderly people would come up to me and beg for me to pray for a sick or disabled family member they had.
I was 16 and leading sermons for children and even kids my own age at the time. By 17 the church offered to pay for my college tuition at their organized university. Thankfully, something (finally) told me this is not good and i left the church and pretty much ghosted them.
Very traumatizing.
You need to write a book about this!
Assembly is like the early days of the original church.
How is being seen as a young healer a bad thing though?
These women are so strong and brave wow I'm so impressed they stand against the injustice!!! Thank you Ladies.
Well, they ARE full of bullshirt. Everything she is saying is sensational and only half truth. She is not giving out truth.
As a Christian here myself … I’d say that denominations within Christianity are like a big family reunion. Most of the family members are pretty normal but there is always that one creepy uncle or crazy cousin. Those are the culty Christian groups. And they aren’t really Christians according to Jesus of the Bible.
This is a wonderful point thank you for pointing it out❤
I grew up in a Christian cult (which a lot of my family is still a part of). This is a great way to put it!
I grew up Pentecostal which is called a cult by other Christians who aren't educated. The Pentecostal belief is very similar to others! Just with more outward "rules" if that person chooses to follow them. All up to the person tbh. I hate to see people call it a cult, even tho im not very involved with the religion anymore.
although i will say, some Pentecostals are so far into the religion (wrongly) that they are very similar to a cult. They give a very bad name
Mmm No. All organized religion are cults. Just because some have more members due to centuries of obligatory, forced membership by those in power doesn't make them less of a cult. You just can't imagine how freakish Christianity is because it's been normalized for you, and Jesus has been dead forever and mythicized.
I appreciate you speaking about this, it’s important to give these things coverage especially when there’s barely any information on this cult
Spread the word!
Oh, and John is dead. And Marilyn is dead. And this church was dissolved in 2017/18.
Puzzle pieces are being collected.
@@dianajo7645 Everything since the mid 1950s was taped recorded and then transcribed.
Who are you, Harold William's daughter or granddaughter? You have some reason to be attacking former members.
When she said holding that stuff in is like poison i almost started crying, because it really is.
Toxic for sure.
Thank you for spreading awareness about TLW and JRS! I grew up in this cult and actually went to the middle/high school ran by the San Diego church. I have also been to Shiloh many times, we would go for 2 weeks every summer.
I love this series! It's so comforting to listen to you talk about paranormal stuff!
35:45 Hearing that a sister church is/was (hopefully WAS) in my town makes me so ill and chilled. As someone who grew up in a cult, seeing people speak out and are able to get away from these places makes me happy but also grieve for their wellbeing. I have been able to get away from mine at 10 thanks to my grandmother realizing the place was bad and have been breaking cycles since, but still, cults should be taken far more serious, far more looked into, and destroyed.
Find a better source, malcolm. This is sensational trash. Marilyn is dead, this church was disincorporated and broken up in 2017/18. Someone LIVED ACROSS THE STREET, SO THEY ARE EXPERTS!
Im so glad you got out safe, as a Christian I feel like I should apologize I'm really sorry this happened to you and so many others, I hope you and your loved ones have peace and you can safely deal with the trauma
Oh my gosh, thinking of a child your age or younger in 1 of these cults makes my heart sink. Kudos to your wonderful grandmother!! I raised my son alone, & I was so very protective of him. Not obsessive, but I would have sooner died than let anyone hurt him!
A child is the most precious gift a woman can ever receive.
I wish you would reach out to Ren and help her sort through all this stuff and get it out to the public so its not all on her shoulders. With your platform you could help so much
The reason that doesn't happen is that Ren is promoting falsehoods and half-truths. Most of this is in the public domain and this BS doesn't carry so much weight in "truthiness".
I was raised in a cult that sounds very secretive like living word. It’s called “the truth” but we don’t have an official name. I can’t find any websites about it. Can you do a video on this too?
I grew up as a jehovah's witness which is something I would definitely consider a cult. They also call their religion "The Truth" as a substitute for the name.
Can you tell me it's name in the language/country of origin? I can try to research it a little,and share what I find
My momma still in that cult
@@asociallyawkwardreject4076 they don’t fall under FBI qualifier’s …
I grew up in the truth too. You may find information looking up the 2x2s. The ministers are called workers and they traveled 2x2. It was created by William Irvine in the late 1890s in Ireland.
I lived in Palmer Lake when the cult was active around 10 years ago, and attended it a few times. My parents met through the Living Word Fellowship, and so I was pretty much indoctrinated into it. I'm currently recovering from CPTSD and severe depression. It's really messed up what they teach. It destroys your free will and takes away your ability to form boundaries and healthy relationships.
It's refreshing hearing someone from "outside" talk about it. I'm still coming to terms with just how destructive this group was. It really destroyed many many lives, including my own. I'm no longer "Christian" and will probably never trust another religion or religious group.
My dad worked at the sawmill and was one of Shiloh's builders. I personally went to Young Adult School of Prophets, a two week summer camp with work activities and other church events, twice at Shiloh and twice in San Diego at another church location, and then attended the School of Prophets (for adults) in Shiloh.
Members of this cult have tried to get media attention & there are lawsuits pending. It would be absolutely great if outside researchers would reach out to some of the former members (those who aren't involved in lawsuits). Some of what you share here is great, some is a little off course as far as the big picture. You must also realize there was blatant emotional abuse, gaslighting, sexual grooming, physical abuse, & labor abuse. All us kids who attended YASP (young adult summer program- part of SOP-school of profits) at Shiloh were forced to work during their 'summer camp' (which was run for at least 30 yrs). Families/marriages were split up, LGBTQ youth & adults were shunned & more. My memory of a lot of stuff is fuzzy & hard to piece together (which is a red flag of sorts). Thank you for raising awareness & hopefully compassion.
Hi Heather, I am an older survivor.
I am collecting puzzle pieces added to my recollections of my early years.
I am willing to collect and publish verifiable survivor stories in my No Non-centsNanna blog with a section devoted to Church of the Living Word cult, the Walk, JRS. I can be goggled. We also have mutual friends.
I think the video is being too kind but so grateful that we can get the word out.
It looks like there are few of possibly Gary's trolls here.
I remember Shiloh in the late 70s/early 80s. I was elementary school age, so most is pretty fuzzy. I remember the playground outside, the narrow green(?) halls, the smell of new carpet, the sanctuary, and a green olive, cream cheese, and sprout sandwich that I couldn’t get enough of.
I'm a non denominational Christian and faith healers sketch me out. Prayer is a huge part of our faith but I don't think God is calling us to reject modern medicine. My sister was part of a faith healing cult for a while because they convinced her, if she prayed hard enough, her eczema would go away. If God didn't heal you, you weren't "Christian" enough. It messed her up. My pastor, on the hand, has expressed multiple times that physical and mental illnesses are not symbolic of weak faith or being a "bad" Christian. He's even been using anti depressants for years. It was a breath of fresh air to hear him say that stuff because I was in a dark place mentally at the time.
we need stephanie harlow to do a deep dive into this cult
Won't happen. This is slander and falsehood. There is nothing there to do a deep dive into. John Stevens died. Marilyn is dead. The church was dissolved in 2017/18
Amish have the exact same access to technology as everyone else. They choose not to use it. One Amish family near us has solar panels to run the generator uses to electrify the fence around their horses. A local Amish business man owns multiple vehicles. However, he pays people to drive him around.
When I was in San Diego, California I remember seeing the Can you drink the cup? pamphlet and the one that says Do you wish you were dead? on the trolley. This wasn’t that long ago in 2019.
Church was dissolved 2017/18.
Those pamplets are so old that I remember them. They printed their own literature. Including plagarized song books.
@@dianajo7645 Why a re you so defensive?
Legally on paper ,the organization dissolved. But, I know for a fact there are a number of groups still going. And sister Gary is in Isreal last I heard peddling more BS. He has trolls that pop up all over the place.
I have a weird fascination with cults. Growing up in a religious household, the concept of people using other people's faith and beliefs to corrupt and warp their minds is horrific. Im always afraid of getting caught in one too... I sometimes struggle with gullibility, and am a mentally ill person, and I know those two do not bode well when it comes to my susceptibility of being manipulated. Tack on my people pleaser defensive mechanism to avoid conflict, and Im just a walking target for these evil people. Learning about cults give me a sense of comfort, cause it allows me to educate myself on the things I should look out for if I ever found myself talking with the wrong person
you are smarter and more resilient than you think❤ stay safe
To be totally safe, you should just avoid any/all organized religions. They are all cult-like to me.
May the LORD grant you discernment and peace in your journey. ❤️🔥🙏🙏🙏❤️🔥
@@jennybrooks9027 no
i mean, every religion uses people's faith and beliefs to warp their minds and control their actions. thats like. the point of a religion. control of the populace and setting rules for behaviour
Netflix or someone needs to make a documentary about this cult.
I agree.
that is the PERFECT lip shade for your complexion. I'm obsessed. Ok back to the story🤣😅
Fun fact, William branham is also a "cult leader" and Jim Jones was another one of his pals..... I've become heart broken knowing my church life has been a connected to William branham. He was a horrible person and most all his top leaders were kkk high members and the kkk rules were intertwined into his teachings in the church! William branham is another huge rabbit hole to dive into! I'm in the process of deconstructing my "faith" and it's the hardest, most heart breaking thing I've ever done! 💔
Hang in there,and stay strong!! That can't be easy. Cousins of mine were raised in Children of God aka The Family,and many of them dud did it too. Try to connect with people qho are also having a crisis of faith. I suggest Amanda Rae on YT (she was in Escaping Polygamy) and she talks about how hard that is to leave a religion you grew up in. Best of luck to you!💜
Check out john Collins
Ah I’m so excited for this topic!!! I always love the way you explain things❤️❤️❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed this. You did a great job piecing stuff together, and I always love listening to you while I'm doing stuff around my house.
Thank you for taking on this topic and spreading the info on this. It's really important.
2:50 Thank you. Huge respect 🙏 if only everyone thought like that before attacking people of faith
Love your videos
One day there is going to be a video like this about Kanye. The Donda Academy and his "I'm a god" seemed so similar to this.
Yeah that place does not seem normal. But for the sake of his 4 children, I hope there's no SA/Abuse allegations involved.
The Shiloh compound sounds like the same kind of thing the "keep sweet: pray and obey" Netflix documentary discusses. Why do most cults in America stem from Christian denominations 🤔
Because it is the easiest to convince people looking for a new church family into joining because it's easy to portray as just another denomination, and easier to twist the familiar into a different way of thinking about it, especially since most in the Christian faith only have a surface level knowledge of what the bible says, and usually from hearing others tell them what it means instead of what it says.
No, it's any happy religion that focuses on kindness.
i don’t know maybe because it’s the most widely practiced religion and it’s easier to bastardize scriptures when people already respect them. be quite hard to indoctrinate the average american into an islamic or eastern cult
Shiloh was sold to the teenagers as a year round church camp with flush toilets. To the adults is was supposed to be a conference center with a nursing home for the seniors. I had planned on being a nurse in the nursing home after I got a few years of RN experience. 50 years later that was never built - false promises. In fact the buildingggs were so not up to code that the complex could not be sold to a school or a nursing home. It got burnt to the ground.
Jesus warns that there will be many false teachers. Anything Jesus promises is always proven true.
Those survivor statements at the end were so powerful… especially anaiah. Go off, queen. 💙
Hey Loey. Thanks for uploading today. I had fallen asleep and woke up kinda panicking and was just trying to relax. So I jumped on UA-cam and I see this lovely surprise. 💜💜💙💙
Loey you're smart to research this & bring it to our attention. Well done!
This is an important topic to shed light on. So thanks. Unfortunately there are thousands of cults and many of them claim to be Christian. It's disturbing.
the way you do your lipstick is like totally perfect your makeup is very inspiring to me! thank you for making this super interesting entertaining stuff!!
I was born and grew up in this cult. Thank you for spreading awareness
whoa are you okay? and have you thought of posting your story about this cult?
Yes. I would suggest hearing from the actual victims. Look up the living word cult on you tube. They just released a doc of their own
@@michellemiller9857 Thanks ill check it out
It’s gets complicated telling my personal story. But yeah one day I want too.
@@Imw4tching_y0u thank you. I typed this whole long story to you but you tube glitched and sadly it did not post. Definitely watch the documentary that these guys released.
So good to see you on my timeline again loey!! Sending happy vibes your way🧡
Thank you for posting about this. I hope this becomes wide known.
I hope some former member releases a documentary about it this weekend
It breaks my heart to see these women who grew up victims of abuse at the hands of religious leaders,, those are the adults that are meant to guide you and for them to take advantage of it makes me sick
I love getting my Loey notifications! You are the best and my favorite to watch! I wish I could really be your friend, you are such a cool human! Please keep it up Loey!!! Xoxo.
Thanks for your videos Loey!! You always give me so much body confidence no matter what, and you always always look SO SO pretty!
gurl let me tell you, i am having the most stressful day and this made it better. i love you loey🖤🖤
Also Loey, Ren posted 3 days ago at the time of this post. So hopefully she is okay.
They are okay I’m friends with them irl ❤
I love you loey, you legitimately make a day 😭❤️
Loey being absolutely stunning once again! 💕💕
I remember these being in my church. My dad would order them, he was the senior pastor
Thank you for bringing a spotlight to this. Blessed be love!
You a witch?
Shiloh was controllably burned down by the fire department in collaboration with the owners of the building in 2022 after breaking ties with living word. They even acknowledge that burning it down doesn’t undo the damage to its ex-members. Source: the live wire
Let's go, Loey is powering me through homework.
YES! I'm so glad you're covering this
I grew up attending a church called "Living Word Penecostal Assembly" and I'm REALLY hoping the name is just a horrible coincidence. D:
There are lots and lots of living word churches that aren't associated with Stevens.
Not the same
Yeah it’s not
TLW left the four squares assemblies long before due to Stevens and other leaders not following the rules.
I go to UC Irvine and we supposably have religious cults here too! I've been stopped multiple times by people who are in these organizations and it's campus wide! It would definitely be a cool topic for a video
Funny maybe, but don't be so Naive it could be dangerous. Just saying
@@charleneanderson218 I definitely don’t think it’s funny. Its just something to be aware of and avoid. It’s super serious and it’s something that people have come out and shared their experiences with it.
Ooo I’m going to ask my brother if he’s been stopped. Do you happen to know the name?
@@Grayyy__ there’s a couple but one of them is called God the mother
@@gazelleey ok thank you I’m definitely going to ask. He’s an alumni now (class of 2018) but very interested to know if it’s been going on for a couple years
The fact that you’ve been making videos for 8 years and I’m just finding you is INSAAAAANITY!!! 😂
The women who came forward are so brave and are doing so much good for other victims to see that they are not to blame.
PRETTY LOEY ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘
NO YOUUUU
I accidentally read that as petty loey and was so confused as to how loey has ever been petty. But pretty makes way more sense 😅
@@AshChiCupcak I'm a nice person I wouldn't say that haha
@@Loey ❤️ 💙 💜
I literally jumped when I heard Iowa. Nothing ever happens in Iowa- I wish it was something scary like this to be another claim to fame 😫
Bro samee
nothing ever happens in my state and it’s so boring here 🙄
This is scarily fascinating. I usually skip over cult vids because I've heard them all but this is a new one for me. Leave it Loey!
As someone who grew up in an Assembly of God church, in Iowa, I've never heard of this. I am no longer a member but thank you for sharing this information.
I also reside 11 miles from the Shiloh church. It is in Kalona, IA. I live in Washington, IA
Also, the Amish do have some sort of contact with electricity. Around here, they get picked up in vans and brought into town to buy from stores that have certain products they can't get from a fellow neighbor. I worked at a farm store and they came in, almost, every week.
"Go Demons". I am a Warshington girl. I'm sure we know many of the same oldiess but goodies.
loving the hair color! you slay loey thank you for making videos for us despite going through rough times ❤
I’m seriously going to have to visit this building, I live 15 minutes away from Palmer Lake, it’s sort of crazy knowing I’ve drive past this buildings plot
Edit:
Drove over there a few days ago, unfortunately it’s private property and has camera up now
There were groups all over the place including Brazil.
The Shilioh complex got burnt down under a control burn of the county fire department in Iowa. There was a time that neighbors feared it was another WACO.
I remember hearing about yoko's daughter such a sad story if only John Lennon could have been alive when they reunited he too travelled looking for yoko's daughter I'm so glad she is now reunited with her kyoko (I think that's how you spell it) is now a mother,a wife and has also like her mother an artist 💜

2:13 i know it’s off topic but, as an art student, it’s really nice to hear someone include us :)
This came up on my TikTok through the algorithm and PHEW it's been a ride. Also, as an Iowan, it's freaky to hear how close some of this is. XD
I'd love to see some in depth videos about the ppl you mentioned that would have been full on videos their own.
so excited for this loey !!
I love this series! I actually got my friends into your channel! Your such a icon and I am so excited for this new video!

@@Loey OH MY GOSH! Thank you so much for replying! It’s unreal how you inspire me! As someone with mental health problems and a service dog, my favorite thing to do is snuggle up with my dog and watch your videos when I need a quick break. I would love to work with you as I have some spooky stories that you might be interested in!
yayayay new loey video!! and i just got home from work too :)
I know there are some Amish families that live around me that have essentially an “outhouse” but designated for a landline. So they’re allowed to have a phone, but only outside their house, maybe they had a similar thing for a radio?
Some farmers even use a computer.
I used to watch you religiously from age 14-17, then I lost my UA-cam account and had to remember who I used to be subscribed to and I literally just found u again🥲I missed you I’m 19 now
Take it to the white board and map out all the connections and tangents. It will probably be a big project, but there is nothing more satisfying then getting all the information out.
I love how you referenced Danielle! She like you is one of my favorite story tellers 🥰
I've been waiting for thissssssss 😍
LOEY! YESSS, HI!! I STOPPED WATCHING BOBS BURGERS TO WATCH THIS IM SO EXCITED!!!!
stunning as always 💜 love you💜
I am greatly concerned that my ex-mother-in-law is starting a cult in her basement. Legitimately. She's already so freaking creepy....
Thank you for the disclaimer! Its def appreciated by us christians who dont wanna be connected to shot like this. Great vid loey!
Loey, thank you for pointing out that Christianity itself is not a cult but that someone can take the ideology and twist it for their own selfish gain, and that is when it can become a cult
Loey, you have such a relaxing voice xxx
You are so stunning!!! Even when talking about cults 😂!! I also really enjoy the deep diving into TikTok accounts it’s really interesting to hear about this stuff from a true pro! 😊
I grew up AOG and lemme tell you it’s so problematic. Prosperity preaching, strict end days beliefs. It’s so crazy
Oh my god I think this is the church I grew up in as a child. I was so confused everytime I went there. So many strange things happened there.
Spill it Rhonda what happened
@@Kat-jz9ko it was always weird. The adults were always having weird parties and meetings. When Pastor Stephens was there everything seemed fine. But when Gary came in thing got strange and out of control. At that point we moved away but I still had family in that church and cousins at Shiloh helping to build their "ministry"
It is possible. Stevens die in '83. That was 40 years ago. You may have known a number of survivors.
I asked my mom, and yes it was. She said it was so odd how things changed in the church after Steven's died. We left that church in 1984. I was a teenager and really didn't play much attention to the church going on. Well, except the weird parties.
Have you heard of the colonia dignidad cult? It’s sounds so similar. There was a movie made of it with Emma Watson called “Colonia”.
In Frankfort, Indiana, there was a Living Word church. My grandparents went there and even sang in the choir. My grandma performed solos there. They drug me there as a child a few times and their members would dance around, arms in the air, speaking in “tongues”, etc. They would tell me over and over I needed to do that too. It was creepy AF. The last time I went with them on a Wednesday night, they had bible study or something and I had to go to the kids class. We were given this book called “Don’t Hug a Grudge” to take home. It was definitely culty!
Side note: the living word has a man named Cameron Stratton that was working for them that was a superintendent or something and dealt with disciplinary actions for students with a Christian school in Frankfort. He was arrested for child seduction and there was a trial. I don’t know a lot about it bc I don’t live around there anymore but pretty interesting giving so many people are coming out with abuse allegations and saying this is a cult!
@@cartermichellelee Sounds like the same excuse to cover for predators.
I don't know. JRS TLW abandoned the Pnetcostl speaking in tongues decades ago for "bigger revelations.:
Not the same cult. No less nasty, I'm sure, and definitely some similarities. However, I'm positive that it wasn't a Living Word Fellowship church. We did have a family living in Frankfort at one time. But we were in West Lafayette. Most folks traveled in from surrounding towns, including our Frankfort family. In the late 80's some key people moved out to Shiloh and some other key people transferred elsewhere. I think they eventually lost the building or something. I was gone by then, but services were moved to Indianapolis in the late 80's and eventually died out. There hasn't been a TLWF in Indiana in decades.
I’ve never tapped a notification so fast!!! Love You loey ❤️❤️
It depends on what type of Amish you are, somtimes there are groups that regroup or just chose to use minimal electronics
