- Daniella Mestyanek Young was born into the Children of God sex cult - one of the few sex cults that exist today - that is known for Joaquin Phoenix and Rose McGowan, where she was subjected to all sorts of awful acts as a child, before joining the U.S. Army as a soldier.

What do you know about Children of God cult? Will you join me here in the chat on Thursday?
Is that the flirty fishing cult ?
@@the-end-of-my-tether i'm not sure about that!
@@AndrewGold1 yes it's that one. I had to go back to my Spotify cult playlist. It's one of those cults you learn something new about them everytime you listen / watch anything about them. Looking forward to this interview. I look forward to all your interviews. You have really diverse topics that keeps your channel very interesting.
Yep!🤗🤗🤗
@@the-end-of-my-tether Ah thank you so much Sandra!! So nice to get positive feedback on the typically negative doom spiral of UA-cam!! :)
Anyone who says that women in power create less conflict didn't have to navigate an all girls education. Women are capable of creating as much conflict and turmoil as any man.
Hillary Clinton, condolesa rice, Madeline Albright- all war hawks- all war criminals.
History would like a word with you.
Comparing an all girls education to centuries of genocidal psychopathic men is pretty funny, not funny.
And yet 96% of all violent acts on earth are committed by men. Wanna explain that?
Exactly
I think of Oprah. Do I know for a fact? No.
I was around 13 years old when my cousin joined The Children of God. Children of God had meetings at my aunts house. I wanted to join but my mom wouldn't let me, now I am so glad she wouldn't let me.
She saw through.
What a beautiful mama u had❤️
9:02 I totally understand her mentality here. My husband was military and he was specialized. He once said the exact same thing to me about wanting to use the skills he had learned - THEN he went to Bosnia. He now suffers from PTSD and struggles with his feelings about the military. He said to me, “ I never wanted to be a killer.”
Yes this so many regret serving because what they were told was happening wasn't. We killed many innocent people. We won't stop bombing other people but would never put up with it on our soil.
Bosnia was such a bad situation. I hope your husband has seeked help
How do you think people from Bosnia and Balkans in general percieve you?WE feel sorry for you (the same people that survived all the horror you put us through)
ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB
They are shrinking people and erasing their memory. They do that to hide the truth. They take over peoples past lives and everything. It’s an attack and I’m not even sure who’s in charge. I don’t feel safe and I been worried sick about everyone I haven’t heard from. I hope y’all are ok. Listen people they can shrink you to a baby or grow you full grown in days, literally in days. I have seen them do this to women and then tell them lies or stories to get them to go against the one that knew them before. They do this to keep everything hidden and make people think it’s just a conspiracy. It’s true I swear.
What a wonderful talk you had. Great guest.
As the late Michael Brooks said. “Be ruthless to systems and kind to people”. That fits so perfectly in this interview.
Thanks Charisma!!
Beautifully said
Hadn't heard that before but I agree with that, so true.
@@katee8147 Yes Michael Brooks was a smart & talented guy who is missed :o(
@@SusanaXpeace2u Yes Michael Brooks was a smart & talented guy who is missed :o(
River Phoenix and Joaquin Phoenix grew up in this cult in the 70's until their parents finally left and they changed their last name to Phoenix as a symbol of rebirth. This cult is disgusting. Also actress Rose McGowan spoke up about growing up in it and how it affected her.
McGowan is a deceiver. On one hand she acts like a voice for Victims, but on the other she participates in Satanic rituals that are very abusive.
Yes, Phoenix talked about having sex with adults at 3.
@@nicolenul Yup- that was River talking about it.
@@raeray8245 No wonder he took so many drugs, probably just trying to cope
I looked into the cult and quickly found excerpts from some of their books. I can't believe anyone...let that go on and stay hidden for so long. I can't believe people survived that and have told the tale. The cult is evil. Has to be one of the worst cults ive come across and I've researched a lot of them.
And how they've managed to hide and evade all of these years is beyond me. I don't understand. Horrific.
Funny how Scientology dogma also says rape doesn't exist, because the victim did something to "pull it in" and basically forced their attacker to assault them.
I am a born again Christian and I tell Yeshua, Jesus to comeback. There is to much pain causes especially by man-made religion. Learn Hebrew so you can actually know what the bible sells and will learn about Yeshua=Jesus. God says you need to love God with all of your heart, all of your mind, all of your soul, and all of your strength. God wants you to have a healthy body, mind, and soul. We need to have a healthy mind you need to think clearly and he is speaking to you in some way and telling you this is wrong. I don't care who is telling you it is right.
Sounds like what a motivational speaker said to a victim
The Duggar's cult, IBLP, also teaches that if you're molested it's because God removed his protection from you & allowed it to happen because of some sin you committed. They even have a family Wisdom booklet with questions to help you figure out the sin you committed to cause it: not being modest, disobey8ng your parents, hanging out withbbad friends, etc. The founder of the IBLP homeschool group, Bill Gothard, has been accused of molesting 30-something teens girls. I wish he would be charged by the FBI for his crimes & someone would make a documentary on him & how he created homeschool materials that groomed all these parents to groom their kids so he could easily prey on their teen daughters for decades before anyone told. He is an evil genius, & imo, he wouldn't have been forced to resign by good men in the cult, like Gill Bates, after girls & some parents started speaking out due to Duggar fame & internet posts, connecting victims.
Thats gaslighting in the highest form
Can we talk about how mk ultra just moved into the cults and when enough info was gathered its moved back into society, I find it interesting that she brings up the army without bringing up what a huge intelligence op that is, is she still being handled?
As someone who's served in Afghanistan, agree with her 100% on the military. Nobody back home was any safer due to us being there, and nobody in the States is any safer because of their military base in Cuba. Occupying a part of a foreign country.
Unfortunately since the military was my first cult ever, this had only occurred to me once I was already in and over there.
I remember it very clearly...being on one particular patrol, my company being shot at and returning fire for the first time in the war, having to make a swift maneuver off of the beaten path and eventually ending up in an isolated village where the folks openly told us the last white soldiers they had seen were the Soviets...and we would end up the same as them.
While spewing the 'hearts and minds' propaganda crap outwardly, I was thinking to myself; what in the actual fu*ck am I doing here?!
Sorry to hear that Alex but glad you survived it and are here to tell the tale. Sounds so scary, I couldn’t do one day in the military.
@@AndrewGold1 Thanks Andrew but speaking of scary I saw your film on that exorcist in Argentina and appreciate what you do!
thank you!!
Thanks for serving Alex. I'm so, so sorry it's so corrupt.
Those poppy fields were very important, but now we have fentanyl so we did a pull out. A little too simplistic but still.
I practiced and studied 2 Martial Arts for over 7 years. I never "hoped" for a situation to occur that I got to use it. I was taught to turn my emotions off if someone was trying to take my life or a loved one's life. Also in conceal carry, I don't walk around hoping to have to draw my firearm. When I put my firearm in the holster, I actually say a prayer. I pray that I never have to use it but also pray that God gives me a steady hand and heart if I have to protect myself or others. I'm not arguing that the military doesn't do what she said. My point is that not every kind of combat training instills that hope of a fight/battle.
Nicely Stated!
I can't imagine being paranoid enough to think I have to carry a gun.
Yes, but you're not in a cult, are you? For most people, martial arts training is a relatively minor part of a full life. It's a good thing to know, "just in case", an also an excellent form of exercise. In addition to the training, you also work and/or study, hang out with friends and family, party, go on vacations, watch movies, spend time with your gf or bf etcetera. However:
If you had trained martial arts because you grew up in the brainwashing and isolation of a cult, and the martial arts training was assigned to you by the cult, it would be the purpose and focus of your entire existence. You wouldn't do it "just in case". Doomsday is near, and 100% certain. That's what you spend your life training and preparing for. That's why you'd be out recruiting new members to the cult. You have to spend every waking moment training for doomsday and save souls for the cult, because otherwise you will spend all eternity burning in the fire and brimstone of Hell and God's damnation. People in cults both fear and long for Doomsday. The entire purpose of your life has been to preparing for that day. If you really listen to what she says, and consider the context in which she says it, it is easy to understand the difference between why you and I do what we CHOOSE to do "just in case", and why cult members do what they HAVE to do because Doomsday is very near. Their mindset and reasons for doing what they do is obviously very different from ours.
@@Serai3Thats great for you!
Maybe everyone doesn't feel the same way? I must say I found the being "paranoid" bit is an odd way to insult someone..
I must say that I am also very grateful that you live in the type of neighborhood that you don't have to be concerned about protecting yourself or others; that's a privilege!
I do love this country despite all her flaws, because we can choose to do whatever we want within the confines of the law.
@@charissa6648 LOL. How many enemies do you have? You must think an awful lot of yourself if you think everyone's coming to murder you!
Love that you’re having people on who expose these cults for what they really are. 💁🏻♀️
Thanks Maryann !!
@Jdub NoMo 🙋🏻♀️
I support all anti-cult awareness. 🙌🏽
Thank you!
Then please also support the Anti-Cult awareness of Large-Scale Cults endorsed by Militant Atheist governments , such as Soviet Union, China and North Korea.
Jesus Cult Too ?
@@SimSetSoPalestine Can you explain to me what you mean by “Jesus cult”? Have you ever bothered to read The Gospel in your life?
What about the Great Atheist cults of the Soviet Union, Red China, North Korea and Cuba?
@@morticiagomez6166 Yes I have read The Gospel . As far as Great Atheist Cults Of The Communist Republic Of China (Thats what the Nation is called not 'Red China' That depends What Scjool exactly as you speaking of ? same Question applies to North Korea & Cuba . Be more specific . Thanks
I'm so glad I found this channel. Daniella was an amazing guest. I'm absolutely going to get her book. Her insight into the military was fascinating. I understand your point about the necessity and benefit of the military. I think that what she said can better inform how we handle the people who serve. In order to be an effective soldier, one must be trained to overcome instinct. The fight/flight instinct must not direct a soldier's behavior. We know that we, in the US, are losing as many vets to suicide as soldiers to war. That is a serious problem. In order for the military to do right by our vets, they need to receive training for re-entering society. If training is a kind of programming, they need deprogramming in order to be safe for themselves and those around them. I know we have to be careful to choose our words carefully. If we told soldiers, "You need deprogramming," they would, rightfully, be offended. I so don't mean it that way. I think the VA needs the resources to properly help vets, and the military needs to allow the last couple of months of service to be lent to a not optional therapy while serving at a post at home. They'll never agree to it. It would need to be required of them because it costs money to help people after squeezing them for all the service you can for 4+ years, but they deserve a better chance.
Bravo 🎉 That is so insightful snd true : a lot of soldiers probably also need trauma therapy, EMDR or something !
ExJDub here! These cults abuse women and oppress them. Thanks girl for telling your story. 💜👍🏽
Thank you Hannah !
Thank you Andrew, currently have faming still in a cult, and getting a "you're not watching conspiracies on UA-cam are you?" type replies. So it helps to see others journeys out, and learn how to relate and grow!
bloody hell! i'm so glad it helps, though!
Hi TechyBen. You are the exJW. Me too!
*This is good info. I am an exJW the largest cult in the world. Same sh8t in all these cults. We need more awareness to shame parents and these recruiters sitting in booths, knocking on doors, sitting in front of businesses.*
Thank you ! And I agree
@@lylarosenthal2402 thank you Lyla !
Mormonism is larger and has more money than the Vatican. I guess this comes down to the difference between a cult and a religion. Christianity is the largest cult, technically. A cult becomes a religion when it's embedded in and normalized in a culture, I think. By this definition , JW might be the largest cult because it's on the edge of culture and not assimilated.
Mormons May think they have been mainstreamed as a real religion, but that is still only the case in Utah and maybe in Wyoming, Idaho, and parts of Colorado. So they are definitely a cult, which more and more of the aware members have begun to realize. So I do believe that Mormonism in all its fundamentalist and even more liberal offshoots.
Keep in mind cults are not just religious!
They can be political, ideological, cultural, etc.
In fact, you might right now be led by a cult if you examine it.
I am in awe of Daniella! For what she has been through, how she has struggled, got herself through school, into the Army and all the way to Captain. Wow! This lady is so intelligent, determined, brave, very witty and beautiful inside and out. I remember the horrible stories about this cult and “flirty fishing” to bring in money and new members. The abuse of children was despicable. I would love to read her book. Being in Australia, I think she said we have to wait until December? Not fair! Thanks so much Andrew, Daniella was a fantastic guest to have on. This cult is now extinct, right? 🤔
I found it on Audible 20/9/22 not too long to wait - yay 😀
she is really something right! I think the cult is still going, not sure!
What an amazing wonderful woman so interesting and heartbreaking. I too found her book on Audible I just purchased it I'm going to be listening to it tonight I can't wait to start it
I was a member of the Children of God for about a year. I just couldn't do the sex thing. I was already angry about being forced to give away pamphlets and lie about raising money for a nonexistent school for little kids.
What a strong, sensical gal. I'm so pleased she could continue to move forward and improve herself through all this. Her book seems like it will be as fascinating and engaging as she is. Ty.
They are shrinking people and erasing their memory. They do that to hide the truth. They take over peoples past lives and everything. It’s an attack and I’m not even sure who’s in charge or how this is ok. They took the people out of my life that knew the truth. I don’t feel safe and I been worried sick about everyone I haven’t heard from. I hope y’all are ok. Listen people they can shrink you to a baby or grow you full grown in days, literally in days. I have seen them do this to women and then tell them lies or stories to get them to go against the one that knew them before. They do this to keep everything hidden and make people think it’s just a conspiracy. It’s true I swear.
So true...once you realize the dynamics of a cult you see it within ALL and every kind of groups, but are also aware of the good and/or red flags. Great show!
Thanks!!
Wow, she has so much to share, would definitely enjoy a second interview! I love how she has such an open and inquisitive mind after having gone through all those restrictive and traumatic experiences.
Glad you enjoyed it Annabelle!
I LOVE your guests -- not only are they interesting but they're outspoken and intelligent! I already have a book list of 4-5 must-buys thanks to your channel.
Ah thank you Kiska!!
Currently binge watching your stuff (here from growing up in scientology)...wow! Daniella is fascinating and so inspirational! 👏 👏 👏 loved this one, I wanted more!!!!
Thank you !!
That is a GREAT channel, I find that guy ay ay ron so entertaining, he could be interviewing a mouse at a cross road and it'd be so interesting.

The only time I noticed her starting to choke up was when she talked about her mom and the abuse that she must have gone through as a child having her at the age of 14. She really really loves her mom 💚💚💚 I don't think her mom though would want her to feel like she shouldn't have been born to save her mom from the abuse she lived through, but my god that's all very deeply touching, and I don't mean that in a trite way.
Why shouldn't she feel that way? She could have made her in a healthy relationship not of abuse. This is wrong to make woman give birth when she was raped especially at 14. At 14 that is a risky age to give birth because you could not be developed enough to have the baby. We need to arrest parents that sell their children for sex.
I’m half Guyanese and my great aunt refused to sell some of her land to Jim Jones.
Hi Andrew, great podcast I’ve been listening since the beginning! Don’t get down about bad reviews, you’re very good at what you do…playing devils advocate and asking the questions we’re all thinking. You’ll only get better, much success to you mate 👍🏼
Much appreciated! Thanks so much for saying so Matthew!
I agree, folk don't realise how difficult interviewing can be. Shaun makes it look so easy. Been following you since you first appeared with Shaun, I think you are excellent, especially for breakfast 🤗
ah thanks jean!! and yeh shaun is a total natural
absolute class interview.. loved the whole sympathetic approach and as for Daniella - what a great powerful and eloquent woman
I disagree with the statement that a world lead by women wouldn’t have war. Women can be very aggressive and combative. Not6 all, of course, but part of me believes that only those that are aggressive and combative would reach these positions of power.
As a Brazilian, I agree that Daniella comes from Brazil and I love the fact that she not only lived it, understands it, but also knows how to explain to others what Brazilian culture is like.🥰🥰
Greetings, Andrew! Am writing this from my U.S. West Coast city, where we’ve had yet another 95 degree day… (Summers have become Hellish here in the Pacific N.W., and I can’t wait for this one to end. Are you still having extreme heat in England)?
The one bright spot in my miserably hot day, was recalling that you had a new video uploaded, and checking it out.
I first heard of the Children of God cult years ago, and do remember Joaquin Phoenix being in the news in connection with it. Aside from that, have long had curiosity around cults in general, so this interview was right up my alley, subject-wise. Your guest, survivor/author Daniella, was excellent from start to finish, and I was fully engaged throughout the interview. (As an extreme AD/H/D’er, I often find myself unable to stay fully engaged, because I lose interest, for example, when someone is very redundant). She was a great guest, and I always appreciate your relaxed approach to interviewing. So, I must thank you for helping me to forget my misery for awhile! I really enjoyed this episode, and have a lot left to explore on your channel… I am now subscribed, and looking forward to new interviews. Wishing you, and yours, the best-and no more “dog days” of August!
Ah thank you, and it has cooled down a touch now ! She was a great guest and I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Wishing her all happiness and inner freedom. Unraveling this history is a lifelong process, yet she is living a full life which is so impressive. Thank you for having her as a guest, and also for your sensitive questions, timing, and patient listening with your guests.
This was way down in my subscription list so I thought it had been taken off, when it has a wee while to go it goes lower on subs list. I'll set a reminder as I've heard of this cult before and looking forward to this!💫❤ Thanks, you're amazing!
Oh fantastic, looking forward to seeing ya there!
I was in the military for 6.5 years and I always thought of it as a type of cult in how training for all these mission types would happen. Like learning how to setup an anti-tank mine. The truth of the matter is if the rod you insert in the too of the mine moves so far, you can blow yourself up if you aren't careful. We literally trained how to deploy things like that with the knowledge that it could very easily kill us while just setting it up lol, and we would do it without a second thought.
I do believe that countries need military strength, but I feel like the "programming" side of it needs to be taken out. People should want to protect their country, and not talked into it, which leads me to my next point. I personally feel, after serving from 2002 to 2009, that a lot of programming happens before the military. I say that because a good many people in basic training were already militarized before getting to basic. They would talk about their families, and how "patriotic" they all were. They would talk about how they grew up always believing the military was the best career choice in the world, and the only way you can come to that conclusion is if you've been told since birth that it's the only great job around. So it felt like a lot of people were already, or halfway programmed for the military already.
I grew up in a pretty liberal family. Most of my family had served in combat arms, but they never glorified it, so I didn't approach it from a "patriotic" idea. I just thought it would be a great place to get some discipline because I felt like I couldn't get control of my life. About 80% of my time in was me just doing what I had to do, or as close as possible to it, so I could get out lol. Now I am very left leaning, but I also have an understanding of the right as well. Most people say centrist, but I like to think I am more humanist than anything, like what do humans need in order to be safe, and make sure nobody tries to attack us, and not just blind loyalty to any one thing, or idea.
“My father is older than my grandfather”, right off the bat this story is a lot...
Isnt it also interesting that Berg chooses to escape to the Philippines because of the amount of vulnerable children for sexual abuse?....remember Peter Skully?
Yeh awful! Thanks Mack !
thought about that IMMIDIATELY upon hearing Phillipines..that country has a terrible reputation , so sad for them..
EXACTLY!! @15:30 I got goosebumps when you said that!! I’m an army veteran as well & deployed to Iraq 2x. The military uses all of the same tactics as cults it’s just that joining is less coercive & more of a choice.
Do you have a channel about your experiences I would love to hear more about it.?
Lovely guest and enlightening interview! It seems like there is a lot of culty behavior in much of our culture when people are told if they think a certain way, they are (pick a name) and are shunned. We are in very heavy programming - nothing new under the sun? I feel very compelled to question and detach from all narratives - there are narratives coming from every direction.
I went into this interview wanting to read her book and somehow I got put off by the author herself and I cannot pinpoint why…
Was scrolling looking to see if anyone felt this too!
Put off is putting it mildly. I was hoping that someone else felt the same way!!!
She/he looks like a MTF
Same@@glo3139
I was in a cult( not well known) for about 5 years. The first few years were exhilarating and giddy, but then it became dreadful, dull, and lifeless.. Being in a cult is very much like a romantic relationship. It would be impossible , I think, to have a cult without romance.
I love that point you make there! Took a screenshot of that for later reference …
Starts wilt love bombing.
That was an amazing interview and Daniella is an amazing human being. I was enthralled by every second of it. And look at you sir, switching to Portuguese and Spanish without any bother - mega impressed!! Thanks Andrew, I have no idea how I have been an avid UA-cam watcher for so long and have only found you in recent weeks but I am so hooked. Love the premise behind what you do and love the way you do it. Looking forward to looking at older videos and continued disection of the world of Scientology which is on your radar at the moment. Many thanks from a subscriber in Ireland ☘☘☘☘
Ah thank you!!! Love to Ireland, gorgeous country.
I remember hearing about this cult when river phoenix mentioned it when I looked into it and read one of his autobiography I threw up. It is disgusting this cult is still going on and no arrests.
I think she is dead wrong about 50% women in the military will get us peace remark. She forgets that most people of conscience don't do well in the army and the cold hearted, dutiful, ambitious people make it regardless of sex. Its the same in politics and the same in the military. All cults to a degree.
Bingo!
I am totally buying your book! Love to hear your unique viewpoint on the world, fascinating. I grew up on an island in Alaska before the internet or satellites, so I have always felt a bit different to the rest of my co-citizens down south, but nothing like your background. Thank you for sharing!
I was in a Buddhist cult for 7 and a half years and understand exactly what she is describing.
Bhuddist cult? sounds improbable, can you elaborate?
@@gigiarmany4332Kadampa is one.
This was so great! Riveting!!! Thank you for bringing her to my world. 💜
Best interview I have watched so far! Daniella is a very intelligent, strong and interesting human being. Amazing life story and curious points of view that invite some reflexion. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Maria !!
Thanks dear woman - so grateful your out & sharing what you know alongside your delightful personality & presentation style. Much care & keep going, you make a positive difference. Kate in Brisbane/Australia
thank you Kate!!
Amazing that someone can develop such a strong Californian vocal fry growing up in Brazil. Alarm bells.
I wondered if anyone else noticed that. Vocal fryyyy.
Not just California believe me. I am in another country.@@corinneharrison9113
Just bought Danielle’s book 📖 on audible.. really inspiring lady can’t wait to listen to it. Thanks for another great interview Andrew!
Thanks Bobbie !!
What an amazing story of strength and resilience! Thank u so much for sharing!❤
Thank you for watching La Mac!
River and Joaquin Phoenix, Rose McGowan and I think Winona Ryder were members of that cult as children.
Wow 😯, incredible story. Much respect.
Thank you for sharing. Your strength, resilience, and determination is inspiring.
And to both of you for your time and thoughts. 👏👏👏
Brilliant interview!!
Thanks !
Trauma Olympics - great expression.
Support groups for people with medical conditions have similar dynamics.
Yep!
Daniella comes across as an extremely intelligent, insightful and experienced woman! She has amazing communicative skills as well!
She’s so cool! Thanks for watching
It seems to me Andrew that, you will not have any kid, kids from that comment you made about nappies and shit everywhere you don't need to speak in such manner if you want children and I get that fron your comment
@@YASMIN-hn1hx , and you didn't have to write your comment, which seemed a bit shitty to me.
Everyone is born an atheist. We have to learn religion. If you really study religions, you will go back to atheism.
Found your channel just recently and already watched several videos. This one I had to pause for a while at some point because i was just overwhelmed with what this lady had to go through in her life. Exceptionally brave and strong.
Awesome, thank you! It was a particularly powerful one, and she is an incredible woman, I'm glad it resonated with you!
Another great guest with amazing insight. It's so true that the cult "playbook" is frighteningly similar to the military, politics and I've even noticed this recently in watching documentaries about elite athletes. See documentary about Andy Roddick and Mardy Fish who were top US tennis players. Their academy training was brutal, they were brainwashed to perform a certain way and became commodities instead of human beings.
PS I also used to believe the world would be a more peaceful one if women were in charge, then I worked for a Women's Centre for 3.5 years.... I was swiftly disabused of that notion 😂
Haha fair enough re the women. Humans are just difficult in general. Glad you enjoyed !
Love your comment and sense of humor! I concur regarding the last statement!!
@@charissa6648 Aww, thanks Charissa! ❤️ 😃
Can’t wait to read your book. My son n law grew up in the family. This helps me to understand him and his family better. Very interesting and informative. Lovely young woman here as well as my SIL and and his family
The pencil experience makes me sob and cry, because I can relate. It was so hard. I am so sorry Daniella that you went through so much, so much difficulty. I am so sorry.
What a great interview with Daniella. Thank you for allowing her to share her story.
Wow. Absolutely amazing person. It is simply incredible what this woman lived though, how she is processing, analysing her life experience, then sharing it in such an intelligent way. Giving that information to the public is priceless. Even learning why we as individuals are who we are. Personally I gained insight to my own phycology, and stolen childhood among the other insights she gave.. Thank you for this well done interview, and allowing this amazing person to speak her knowledge. On a side note, you mentioned Nirvana. Was fortunate to win tickets on a radio show to the last concert in San Diego before the death of Kurt Cobain. My ex husband who was never a fan became one after that show.
I have one child and she has always hated being an only child. She really hates it now because we are both in our 70s and she feels she has the responsibility to take care of us. I am next to the oldest of 6 and 2 of my brothers have passed away and my 3 remaining siblings still live in Houston near our mother who is 100. I live in Portland, OR and incredibly thankful I am not an only child.
My mother was an only child and she hated it, because she felt lonely, so after I was born, in the 1950s, she felt obliged to have a second child “to keep the first child [i.e. myself] company”. She did not know that two siblings are not friends, they are rivals. Ten years ago my brother tried to kill me. Tell your own child that she is lucky not to have siblings because she gets all your money and attention, and she has no rivals or enemies, which is what siblings are.
@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree I am an only child. Sorry to hear about your brother, but a sibling isn't a rival or enemy like you think. I would have given anything in the world for a sibling, yet we would have another messed up person out there like me having lived through emotional and physical abuse from my parents. Parenting isn't easy, but I'm glad my three kids love each other.
The Children of God has the highest level of suicide among second generation members, the people that were born into it. As far as being happy in a cult, it's true until it isnt, and once it isn't, it's miserable and horrible and a prison you do anything to get out of. I don't think the military is bad, but I've always thought it had a lot of similarities to a cult. A sex cult sounds like the worst!!! The one I was in went to the opposite extreme. Thanks for another great interview with a strong interesting guest!
Wow didn’t know that re the rates. Thank you
@@AndrewGold1 Yes, it's terrible! All cults take their tolls, but it seems like Children of God are the worst!!
I have never heard of this group, blasphemous
Powerful. Thankful for my family. From not knowing what a #2 pencil was at 15 to graduating college. Scholarship recipient - thumbs down on bashing the military that awarded her Capt status
Today's woman.
Also she doesn't understand that war is purely for profit - that's why we do it
Amazing interview! Daniella is an enormous inspiration. Thank you both.
Glad you enjoyed !
I completely disagree with the comment where if women were placed in the leadership positions there will be less war. Looking at female guards in Nazi death camps -they were much more aggressive and extreme than the male guards. I am going to need to read your book though. You just made some very interesting comparisons that I just never would have connected. I can’t wait to read it. Thank you.
Agreed. Margaret Thatcher’s Falklands War is a case in point. Both the figure head and the prime minister were women and still they went to war.
Glad she got out. I'm a bit surprised with as much as she's learned, her vocal fry & timing still sounds like a teen from "white suburbia" ending many sentences sounding like a question. ☺
Thank you for pointing that out. As someone for whom english is a second language, this always indicates a shallow person, one that is not intelligent enough to not sound like a teen valley girl. Very off-putting. And she is an author....okay.
Yes! thank you so much for pointing it out! As someone for whom English is a second language just like Jacqueline, I can't help but notice the fry voice and ending like a question...oh my God, it is tiring to hear!
Not uncommon these days, I had to constantly harass my daughter to stop doing that and speak like an adult woman. it's very grating but 35 is the new 15. I did not listen to this interview, I am tired of interviews where people feel the need to insert their " men are awful" BS. Men can be awful and so can women but that's the way the government wants all dialogue to be these days.
Omg yes, people always were telling me why don’t you have more kids?! I actually did want another child but we won’t able to. It’s just so rude and invasive though for people to do that. Why are you inserting yourself into my ovaries?
great point jenifer!!
It’s just ignorance. Ignore it. Or tell people to mind their own business.
Absolutely. I informed my mother back in 1975 that I would never have children, in order to protect them from the environmental destruction of our one and only planet I saw coming even as a teenager interested in science and physics. She didn't believe me and laughingly told me that I would change my mind -- I never did, nor did I ever regret protecting my kids by never having them. We all have free will and to this day, the blithe denial and stupid thoughtlessness with which most people approach family planning and pregnancies on a roasting, overpopulated planet disgusts me. And yes, I have been pushed endlessly to have children, almost always by women who themselves can't have babies but wish they could. The women who can and do have kids have mostly understood COMPLETELY and wished they knew beforehand what it was like, for they would have stepped on the reproductive brakes too.
@@BJones-yw4dd Sounds like you and your friends are complete narcissist. But, you are correct that you should never ever have children. Thanks for protecting your children from the resentment and abuse that they would surely experience.
Hi I am an only child and have found it a positive experience. When I was little my mum would always be asked when she would be having another child. She only ever wanted one. I agree it is none of anyone else's business how many children any woman chooses to have or not.
I don’t mean this in any kind of negative way! The way she talk’s reminds me so much of Harry’s wife.
Eric Hunley viewer here. Thanks for the interview.
thank you!! Love Eric - I'm re-directing my stream tonight to his stream. Thanks for coming over.
My cousin is in a religion and he posted a video on Facebook of him and his church members in El Salvador surrounded by bushes and facing a building in the middle of nowhere. They were yelling and preaching at the building but keeping their distance from it in the bushes and thought it was funny.
Oh god. The mind is an extraordinary thing!
I disagree with her view on women vs men. This just seems like more us versus them mentality and we need much less of it. We’re all individuals.
I don't agree with you on families being little cults, but I get your pov. Families have more in common than a shared goal or fate. A healthy family is a support system that keeps you safe, helps you find your personality and helps you to persue your own goals. A cult does harm people with in a disguise of those things. So It's a completely different thing.
Yes, some families may function like cults but it's dysfunctional, abusive and not healthy. Healthy families do not function as cults.
i have never heard of this before! you have the most interesting guests on your show. Thank you for exposing cults.
Thank you Mary !
Another really good video with great content. Bless her, with all my heart. Sweety, you are a great person with enough internal strength to move the earth. Be proud of yourself, very proud of how you pulled yourself out of a life of lies and misery. I truly wish her happiness and success. True, putting people in jobs that a person doesn’t know how to do WILL or should make a person work very hard to achieve the end result. I understand what your saying…..a bit……I’m Portuguese as well.
Oh nos podemos falar em portugues ! Haha thank you :)
This woman is so compelling, outstandingly eloquent and erudite.
Loved this talk, thanks Andrew and Danielle ❤
Thanks Calin!
Another fantastic interview and what a remarkable woman. When Megan Markle considers herself a feminist I wish she could take a few tips from your guest. She is amazing. 👍
Thank you! And you’re so right
I wonder if vocal fry is taught in the cult?
Time for her to come back to Brazil and raise awareness against the cults we are seeing rampant growth here
It’s scary
Oh no..😵
What an interesting conversation! I was waiting for her to bring up family as a cult. And you brought it up with Beavis and Butt-Head!!! We need to talk more about the family as a cult basis. I was in the air force for ten years and related to it being a cult as well.
Thank you Andrew, it was a thought provoking episode. Appreciate you!
hahaha i was loving beavis and butthead when i did this episode. thanks!
Another very enjoyable, informative and thought provoking interview.
I’m not a military person, so I don’t really know what impact women have in the military, but I wonder if more women in the armed forces would really result in fewer wars? The assumption that women are more maternal and therefore less likely to fight or kill, doesn’t convince me. I look to nature and think of lionesses vs the lion. They are the ones who do the hunting. The maternal instinct to protect your children is very powerful incentive to fight. Examples of women leading in battles or calling for war are Milunka Savić, Boudicca, Joan of Arc (if she is more than a legend), our very own Margaret Thatcher, Elizabeth I and Ng Mui. No doubt there are countless fierce women in the Israeli Army, American and Russian Armies and so many more I've never even heard of. 🤔
What an Amazing Woman 🤗🥇.. I couldn't b more Impressed 👊.. Appreciate you sharing this with us 😉.. B well and Thank you Both .. OLD G 😉
I couldn’t agree more. She’s brilliant. Loved talking to her
@@AndrewGold1Kudos to you Andrew 👊 Your style is appreciated my friend. Class act 😉
I love how genuinely intrigued you are by all of your guests and what they have to share! I just discovered your channel ¿last week? and I am a huge fan! (I think it was a collab you did w A-A-Ron)
I cannot afford to 'join' but I have subscribed, I 'like' every video of yours that I've seen and probably annoy you with comments on all your videos too.
I've said it before, I'm sure I'll say it again, *THANK YOU* for fighting the good fight against the bad guys!
aw thank YOU!
Fascinating and brilliant guest. Thank you.
And thank you for watching
@@AndrewGold1 Thank you my friend.
Great interview. Inspirational guest xx
wanting a war to "prove yourself" just shows how her mind has been tampered with from abuse. very sad.
That's all military but I am sure she will outperform all the men because woman, I should correct myself here, cis-gendered.
Train your kids young to not be recruited by cults!!!
Absolutely
Daniella is so intelligent it's amazing to me. Can't wait to read her book "Uncultured". Andrew is so clever with his language abilities too. Fantastic interview! I can hardly believe how emotionally and physically strong Daniella is.
ah thank you!!
Way back in 2007 I worked with a woman who was very fond of her time in that cult and allegedly remembered River and Joaquin as babies.
That's an incredible story. She's a very brave woman.
glad you enjoyed!
My question would be how did she manage to break or rewire her brain and training to that which is healthier and/ less intrusive especially pertaining to her child. I can only imagine being triggered for example when witnessing or experiencing my daughter expressing authentic moments of joy or even sadness
Daniella, you are a beautiful human spirit!!! Some of our worlds most powerful healers come thru major abuse in childhood. Its make them more empathic and a GREAT HEALER. Just had to shout out to you - GREAT JOB making it through and for talking about it!! You will do great works on this Earth.
Oh man, I've been watching these interviews for hours now. It's 4am and I need to sleep. Love your videos!
I started following you just recently and love have you conduct your interviews. I am learning with you with your questions and just listening to the experience of your guest. I loved when you spoke in Portuguese and Spanish btw. Please continue doing what you are doing.
Aw thank you so much !!
My goodness, these are real eye openers! Cults are bizarre, just lost people looking to be part of something or seeking power. Humans need to start looking within for that and stop joining cults 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Nicola ! You’re absolutely right
@@AndrewGold1 Thanks Andrew! All the best, blessings from Scotland 💫💎
Exactly!! God is _within_ us! We don't need a building or cult to get close to Him! ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@starlingswallow Absolutely agree, God is within us all!!❤🙌
Strangely the more I was abused the more I clung to God bcz He was the only one I could talk to.
It’s crazy now that I’m older and cult Obsessed I now realize that I grew up in a church that had a lot of cult ideologies
This episode was AMAZING! Need to listen again and take notes.
Thanks Alyce!!
