Hello everyone this is Ty/ Tyrone it was a honor to join my cousin I want to take the time out and say thank you for watching and I love you all. In the last few years I have been on a journey called (Wholeness) the state of being unbroken or undamaged or even complete and harmonious unity in GOD. Sometimes in life you have to press pause to understand who you are and who you are in GOD. People will always label you to fit their narrative but after discovering the true love of GOD. You truly have to learn how to encourage yourself in the lord. Always remember you are someone you are loved and even when it seems dark and gloomy and no way out always know he has made a way of an escape for you. Push beyond the hurt doubts and frustration because at the end of every journey there is a reward with your name on it . ( love y’all LET GOD BE GOD HE WILL UNCOVER ALL THINGS ♥️♥️
I’m not gonna lie Tee girl this wasn’t just “kinda” a cult this was a full blown functioning systematic cult. I’m really sorry that you’ve had to overcome this. Never minimize your experiences. We love youu
Jesus and it just keeps getting worse. You mention most of the people were drug addicts, convicts, etc, these are the exact type of people that cults prey upon. Lost souls desperate for a direction - easy to manipulate. This is heartbreaking Tee. Im sorry again.
I grew up in a similar type of religious family. It's unfortunate that certain people use the church for their own means of control, but I'm glad to see that you haven't denounced God and that you still believe. I'm glad that you have found your own relationships with God because that's so very important. Many of us in my family have done the same. Peace and blessings 💜🙏🏽☮️
Tee thank you for posting this so people can get some understanding on how triggering that people playing with religion, and how people weaponize religion for monetary gain and control of the masses!!! I love your video's and you letting us see a deeper you. I will see you back on Back on Figg, but honestly I love it here more baby girl....KEEP SHINING SUPERSTAR!!!
I’m so glad you talked about this. I remember reading about cults and realizing the similarities in the church. The rituals of drinking “blood” and eating “flesh” and being initiated into the cult by “giving your life” and allowing your body to be possessed and “used by the spirit” and being baptized. Shunning psychics then literally predicting our futures. I was mortified when I started to see the truth of what I experienced. It never really set right with me and now I know why. And I’m so grateful to now know “God” in a healthier way.
Best video on here, well done man, this was very much appreciated My parents are pastors and I'm the first born and I always had questions as to why things were done certain ways so this hit home for me
Amen to that, real talk. Continued healing and revealing to who God truly is. Non-cult, non-judgemental and negative but an unconditional, graceful, loving and positive way. In Jesus name, amen.
I don't know why, but this conversation between you and your cousin feels like a warm hug or maybe I just wanna hug you both because of what you went through.❤❤❤
I grew up in a Christian cult too. I walked away for a while, but God found me and revealed His true heart. I’m so grateful for that. I had to unlearn what I learned in the church I grew up in. I watched Mike Todd’s series on grace and it changed my life.
Tee this hits home. I grew up with my auntie & uncle. My auntie because obssed with church. She use to read the Bible everyday, go to church almost everyday. She was soo evil to me she hated me she would give me food and send me outside to the back yard and I would eat alone. I had to constantly clean the house when I would get out of school, I would have to cook for her kids & church people after church. She turned her garage into a church. She would be sooo loving with eveyone at church. As soon as she got home she was evil. I hate church I just belive in God. She did soo much mentall damage Iam still trying to heal from it. Thanks for sharing Tee I tough I was the only one that felt with this
I struggle to comprehend why some individuals wont just live theyre sinful lifestyle instead of simultaneously interfering with the lives of others. Their actions not only harm innocent individuals, but sometimes tarnish the goodness within them. 😢
I grew up in a Christian cult for over 12 years. This was refreshing. Tee and Ty I applaud your growth, you didn’t bash God but the hearts of people. The Christian cult I grew up in literally did arranged marriages. Everything y’all talking about is very relatable! Ty spoke the gospel better then most pastors these days
Wow thank you for sharing this. I watched Baddies and when you shared that I was shocked. Now watching this video has shed so much light on why you snapped like that and why you reacted that way. Takes a lot of strength to come through and talk about this!
Thanks for sharing! Now I see why she was so pissed at Vicky. We need her full in depth story about this. So many holes. Share your story! You don’t have to name drop to share your story and your history in your family’s church. Her cousin is so sweet. I can tell they be having fun and are funny together. Love it!
Thank you for sharing this Tee. I grew up in a cult too and it was a very similar situation to yours. Black people don't talk enough about dealing with Christian cults. We gotta share our experiences, a lot of us were raised in cults.
Love the real that you are delivering and opening a space for people to start having these discussions with their loved ones so start the healing and diffuse the energy of confusion and separation. Like you said Family should be our safe space ❤
Omg thank you for this it’s literally healing I left the church at 18 am now 24 and it’s all hitting at once my thoughts keeps replaying old scary Christian music. I literally just want a relationship with God and no church . I was so scared growing up I will literally pray at the age of 8 wishing to be paralyzed, blind, deaf literally no movement like a vegetable because I didn’t want to do anything that can make me go to hell but thank you for this
Growing up in a Mexican family that was from a Catholic background, God was a being who was all powerful, all righteous, all just. That we were meant to be people to treat people how you wanted to be treated, to be kind, to be respectful, to be giving, to not be jealous, envious, angry. To not do “evil” towards others. To not judge people, or be biased/ignorant towards people due to their background. That we were to fear God because He’s a Father who will correct you or you will fall into your consequences of your own actions. To give it to God, for him to handle. Though there was alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, poverty, and violence. I became a Christian and I started to understand the difference between being religious and actually having a relationship with God. There are tons of “Christians” who are religious but actually don’t understand the spiritual nature of God and how He is so intricate into the lives of all of us, whether a believer or nonbeliever.
I agree with you that I have suffered from religious trauma. In the past, I used to receive invitations to gatherings where the Christians did not exhibit the true reflection of Christ. I had been dealing with this for 20 years, facing issues such as gossiping and cliques. Moreover, during my difficult times, they avoided me as if I were a peasant. However, despite these experiences, my faith in God remains unwavering, and I wholeheartedly love Him for all the blessings He has bestowed upon me.
As a gay Christian, it's so refreshing to watch this video. I've been shunned my entire life, and still to this day about this shit by what's supposed to be HIS followers. No matter how hard it got, I never let GOD go, and won't. Tee and Ty, luv y'all. ❤️
I can relate to this video. I had recently told my mom that I think something is wrong with me because every time I go to church I just feel like I shouldn’t be there and my spirit would be so unsettling every time I step in there
T we need a podcast & you need to interview people who can relate ! so many people relate to you and who are AFRAID to speak up. You can be their voice. thank you for this. I grew up the same exact way.
Wow thank you for talking about this I grew up in a Pentecostal church but always confused 🤔 thinking God was mad at a Lil 7 yr old😢😢😢this hurts me til today💔as an adult I looked for the Lord and every church I step to scares me because they start telling me I have to dress like an 80 yr old lady no offense but I'm not where near that and all i want is to serve the Lord but is becoming hard I can't take the pressure you miss one day and they all calling texting where am I at😮I can't w the pressure then when I do go they use the word to like condemn you and I don't want to deal w that .. but I do want to serve God I'm starting to feel Im better off praising him at home but the Bible says we must congregate... God bless you guys❤
Girl, we had the same cult experiences. Had me living scared everyday feeling like the rapture was going to happen any second and if I wasn’t doing what they told me to do, I was gonna be left behind. Couldn’t even go to the movies because they said you would get left behind if you were in the there during the rapture 😒 I had to watch Good Burger in that chair next to the exit, waiting for the ground to rumble so I could hurry up and run out. They did arranged marriages and everything. I have been traumatized and I’m afraid to go to church now, I have seen WAY too much go on.
I love how honest and real everyone was talking about this experience. You can see on the bus how triggered you were by the situation. I think that being told to calm down in situations like that is also triggering because in a cult church you’re already told constantly to be quiet. Which is not ok. I love that you opened up about it because many people are attending churches like this and not realizing this is wrong. Love you Tee
I didn't have a childhood like that and i still appreciated this talk. I feel like i could have if my mother allowed me and my sister to live with our godparents at the time. Who knows what would have happened!. But im so proud of you huys for speaking your truth, and finding god on your own. ❤️
Sending LOVE and HUGS your way. Tee, thank you for being so transparent and allowing us in on the convo w/ your cousin Tyrone. It’s a beautiful thing to watch your candidness and authenticity unfold. Much respect and positive thoughts and vibes to the both of you 💜
Thank you so much for speaking on this. I also grew up in a similar environment and it was rough. Church hurt is a real thing, that a lot of people don’t talk about.
My grandparents are both pastors with their own church I was born and raised as a PK and it was def a certain spotlight my family and I lived in which was very hard things I went through as a normal kid was broadcasted and it wasn’t fair there is a lot of things that do happen in the church that just aren’t right I am still saved and believe in god but the people in the church have the spirit of judgement and it’s gotta change
I love the animations in your intro, and I'm happy you're letting people in on something that is triggering for you so that people can have a better understanding of what you were feeling. ❤❤❤
@25:00 Teee you funny asss shit but definitely took me back to my childhood ! I grew up in the church as well and would have those same experiences where they would be acting a fool and I would know they FAKING IT !!
I was brought up Catholic and when I would go to other churches with my friends their pastor would always ask me what religion was I and when I told them Catholic they told me I was going to hell but who were they to pass that judgement only God decides and that was not what God told me but I know now that those pastors might be left behind for playing God in my life
Omg this is giving twin flame universe. Specifically the making people not go to college to use them to work for the church. This is so sad bt I’m glad u guys got out.
I remember I grew up like this too it wasn’t even with my family. My mom was going through vulnerable times and her friend forced us to do all these things. I appreciate you talking about this!
I LOVE THIS BECAUSE I GREW UP THE SAME WAY BEING JUDGE BY THE PERSON WHO BROUGHT MY FAMILY TO CHURCH WHICH WAS ALSO A FAMILY MEMBER AND WHILE I EXPERIENCED ALOT OF MIRACLES AND HOW GOD SPOKE TO US WITH TRUTH AND DELIVERED FAMILY MEMBERS I STILL FELT LIKE THOSE PEOPLE WERE NEVER PERFECT AND BY ALL MEANS MEANT TO LEAD. THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT MY FAMILY MEMBER TO CHURCH WHERE DIFFERENT THEY LEAD W GRACE AND UNDERSTANDING AND I CAN SEE THE FRUSTRATION COMING FROM TEE TOWARDA VICKY BECAUSE ALTHOUGH SHE MEANS WELL SHES GOING ABOUT IT THE WRONG WAY SHE ALMOST IS MOCKING OUR GOD BY GOING AROUND YELLING AT PEOPLE SAYING “god says” BECAUSE GOD DOES SAY BUT HE ALSO DECIDES AND KNOWS OUT HEART. VICKY PISSED ME OFF SAYING SHE COULD JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY WAS WRONG BECAUSE SHES NOT SPEAKING TO PEOPLE TO THEIR HEARTS SHE JUST YELLS AND POINTS A FINGER EXCLUDING PEOPLES ISSUES.
Thanks tee for keeping it all the way real. I really could see why on the show why you were upset. But I loved this video💞💞thank you for sharing your experience I know it’s very much personal and could be a hard topic to discuss for people! And your cousin has such good energy!😇
This is so similar to my experience. I just left a christian cult about two years ago. It’s so hard and lonely sometimes but it’s great to know i’m not alone in my experience unfortunately
This sounds like how my mom is. To be honest my mom is a good person but at the same time she’s not. I had a mental breakdown one time and told her “you talk about God like it’s a cult and he’s a cult leader” while crying because that’s exactly how it felt to me. She started acting crazy, screaming jumping up and down. It was very weird and scary. Also, I got abused n choked by her older son at 16 one day (he’s not my biological brother and I’m adopted) and that’s the first time I felt like she actually had some type of evil in her because after he did she started yelling at me about how I was wrong and basically defending him. The man was in his 40s, muscular, heavy set and over 6 foot. I was 16, my weight fluctuates between 112-120, and I’m still 5’3. Also, didn’t hit him first. And there’s times where I would feel like god did something for me and she’ll tell me nah that’s the devil. And it makes me not want to be a Christian anymore and just be spiritual. A lady in the church also hit me and started yelling when I was on my phone playing a game when I was younger. So yes church and family can definitely bring you far from god. You have to talk, get to know, and see him for him on your time instead of going based on what other people believe. Most church people will go to church but do the most unholy things out of this world. I used to say god know my heart because I really believe he do. She told me that I was evil and the devil but No one can tell me I’m evil and the devil no more because he knows me. I am the most empathetic person even when I was emotionally numb, I even cried. I don’t believe I’m evil and I don’t believe he thinks I am.
Thank you both for sharing your stories. I can totally relate to your cousin, growing up in the church as a gay man. God is love. God is merciful and forgiving. Love your neighbor as you love yourself is the most important commandment after loving God with all our heart, mind and soul. ❤️ God bless 🙏🏼
I grew up in a tumultous christian househould with my uncle ( a Pastor), aunt and cousins. They would curse each other out , even me. Then because i refused to go back to that exact church ( where several church members were cheating and gossiping, plus one of the elder members disrespected me) my uncle said it seemed i was damned to hell then told me i was excummunicated because i wouldnt return. To this day the house is still messy and they are still cursing and disrespecting each other almost everyday. My cousin came down a few weeks ago( their daughter) they ended up cursing and shouting and she ended up kicking them out of her airbnb. Her baby got sick and they came back to help . Then when they left she cut everyone off including me By the way they cursed and shouted 3 times during that 2 weeks. I was the scape goat in the family and eversince I left they turned on each other. My bigger cousin who rented the aifbnb was a devoted christian and is now an atheist married to a muslim. Her dad is very embarrassed
Not often to hear of a black church based type cult but this is def is it. I grew up typical southern black baptist church. There is a true spirit of God you where raised with though! You both know the Lord in His realness and if nothing else y’all still have that despite the negative experience and abuse. Loved the talk ❤
Tee you did what you had to do I’m so proud of you , you surprised me so much I was like tee punched her then flipped her like damn et the lap dog 🐶 got beat up keep your head up tee all love
Btw I love you and your music so much yes you are truly special and regardless of whatever you have been through in life you are truly talented and blessed and can’t wait to see you become and even bigger star then you already are!!! I also love you on baddies
When it comes to God saying he is a jealous God he means he’s jealous for our time, and that he’s jealous over us . When we choose to put things first in our life’s they become idols and he clearly says idols or anything else we put before him is a sin, let’s lit forget that God is holy so even when he’s jealous over us he’s still holy. He asked us not to be jealous because the hate that drives the jealousy and out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks which me when you let hatred and jealousy stir up in your heart it will eventually come out and sometimes unfortunately acted upon.
I really appreciate you tee & your cousin being so open and speaking up about your experience growing up this is your story & im so apologetic because the reality is a normal family upbringing isn’t the reality for you and sadly many of us don’t have that either but your strength to really speak on your experience and not let this define you truly speaks on your characters and to still trust in god your a real genuine soul as is your cousin a genuinely beautiful soul. Thank you guys so much for taking your time to speak your truth and your story about being in a family religious “cult” so to say or more so a family with a mindset that is similar to a cult. I hope you found closure within the things that happened as you grew up and if you are to speak to your family or not we support you tee all the way and appreciating you being so open I wish you the abundance of happiness in your life I think your so strong and amazing with courage to come on here and say this is what it is and this is my experience my past my life I respect real people and you and your cousin are to be proud of yourself for coming from a tough situation and making a life outside of that experience and not letting it define you - LOTS OF LOVE YOUR FAN JESS PHILLIPS FROM SYDNEY AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤
Hey Tee you are amazing so many layers to you please show all facets of you more often . You are an amazing singer actor knowledgeable beauty and funny. Your well rounded. Wish you the best
Hey Tee love you girl 🔥🥰 can’t wait to watch you have to beat Scarface ass 😂😂💯 she just wanted some clout off you girl🙄 🤦🏽♀️ and it was just embarrassing of her to do that and Rollie in the back talking stupid just eww 🤮 they better stop underestimating the short girls cuz y’all are beating ass and I’m so here for it 😂😂🥰❣️❣️ also thanks for sharing and speaking your truth. ❣️💯🥰
This sounds like my church , I grew up Pentecostal. The only that I can say though is that when the scandal showed up- my family removed themselves and built their own
Ooo Teeeee... nah, we now friends in my head. Had to get my ass up and outta bed as I was watching you guys on my TV and find my phone to give you your flowers. You are such a beautiful person. Inside and out. Your a bad bitch, your intelligence shines naturally having such a rich experience in your life by being yourself in so many different situations and that allows you to speak from a place of experience. You are so well rounded you get in where you fit in, which is anywhere and you learn from so many different sides. You are a business woman, you are funny and silly and living in your truth. Girl, u played ya stay at that baddie house like a master chess player. You are just a fuckin G. Nobody, and no baddie can come close.
Hello everyone this is Ty/ Tyrone it was a honor to join my cousin I want to take the time out and say thank you for watching and I love you all. In the last few years I have been on a journey called (Wholeness) the state of being unbroken or undamaged or even complete and harmonious unity in GOD.

You are a brilliant man, my dude Much Blessings to you.
Thank you so much for joining her. I was able to relate to a whole other level
What you said is so beautiful. Thank you for this, and I'm so glad you and Tee are so open in your conversation. ❤
❤❤
❤
Tee thank you for these talks. It's really setting people free from religious cults and false teachings. God is really working through you.
Thank u !
Thank you for talking about religious abuse
Yes definitely amen 🙏🏼
I’m not gonna lie Tee girl this wasn’t just “kinda” a cult this was a full blown functioning systematic cult. I’m really sorry that you’ve had to overcome this. Never minimize your experiences. We love youu
Jesus and it just keeps getting worse. You mention most of the people were drug addicts, convicts, etc, these are the exact type of people that cults prey upon. Lost souls desperate for a direction - easy to manipulate. This is heartbreaking Tee. Im sorry again.
Man I thought it was just me, but it was a big cult. And it sounds like they was stealing church funds
I grew up in a similar type of religious family. It's unfortunate that certain people use the church for their own means of control, but I'm glad to see that you haven't denounced God and that you still believe. I'm glad that you have found your own relationships with God because that's so very important. Many of us in my family have done the same. Peace and blessings 💜🙏🏽☮️
I grew up in a Jehovah’s Witness household. I myself have experienced a lot of the things you’re speaking on 📢👏
Omg SAME!
Same here. Got baptized at 16 and I hated it. Disassociated when I was 27.
Same! I hated it so much. So glad that it is behind me!
SAME
@@slantblant1im trynna do the same but the idea of being disfellowshipped and disowned by my fam kills me
Tee thank you for posting this so people can get some understanding on how triggering that people playing with religion, and how people weaponize religion for monetary gain and control of the masses!!! I love your video's and you letting us see a deeper you. I will see you back on Back on Figg, but honestly I love it here more baby girl....KEEP SHINING SUPERSTAR!!!
Thank you so much this means a lot

I completely understand where y’all coming from. The younger generations in families are always the most aware.
The younger generation isnt acting dumb to things anymore , we catching on to the bull
Best video on here, well done man, this was very much appreciated
My parents are pastors and I'm the first born and I always had questions as to why things were done certain ways so this hit home for me
I recently saw the video wit u and your mom and now I can't stop seeing the Resemblance
After watching this I completely understand why she felt the way she did &snapped like that. That situation must have really took her back
Amen to that, real talk. Continued healing and revealing to who God truly is. Non-cult, non-judgemental and negative but an unconditional, graceful, loving and positive way. In Jesus name, amen.

I struggle to comprehend why some individuals wont just live theyre sinful lifestyle instead of simultaneously interfering with the lives of others. Their actions not only harm innocent individuals, but sometimes tarnish the goodness within them. 😢
I have a similar upbringing. Praying for your mental healing. I’m struggling but, “Gods power is unlimited.” Job 36:22!!!
I’m so sorry 😢

Thank you being open and speaking your truth as a PK I can totally relate
What they are talking about happens and more than often, it turns people off and away from God.
Love the real that you are delivering and opening a space for people to start having these discussions with their loved ones so start the healing and diffuse the energy of confusion and separation. Like you said Family should be our safe space ❤

I was in a Christian cult in college and I grew up with an ultra religious mother. I definitely have religious trauma.
Growing up in a Mexican family that was from a Catholic background, God was a being who was all powerful, all righteous, all just. That we were meant to be people to treat people how you wanted to be treated, to be kind, to be respectful, to be giving, to not be jealous, envious, angry. To not do “evil” towards others. To not judge people, or be biased/ignorant towards people due to their background. That we were to fear God because He’s a Father who will correct you or you will fall into your consequences of your own actions. To give it to God, for him to handle.

Do you believe you were born gay?
I can relate to this video. I had recently told my mom that I think something is wrong with me because every time I go to church I just feel like I shouldn’t be there and my spirit would be so unsettling every time I step in there
T we need a podcast & you need to interview people who can relate ! so many people relate to you and who are AFRAID to speak up. You can be their voice. thank you for this. I grew up the same exact way.
Wow!!!! I went through all of everything you two went through from the Church. I’m no longer Christian.
Can’t wait for your solo video on this topic. I’m sorry you had to go through what you did 🥺
Our family crazy happy we finally speaking about it !!!!
Wow thank you for talking about this I grew up in a Pentecostal church but always confused 🤔 thinking God was mad at a Lil 7 yr old😢😢😢this hurts me til today💔as an adult I looked for the Lord and every church I step to scares me because they start telling me I have to dress like an 80 yr old lady no offense but I'm not where near that and all i want is to serve the Lord but is becoming hard I can't take the pressure you miss one day and they all calling texting where am I at😮I can't w the pressure then when I do go they use the word to like condemn you and I don't want to deal w that .. but I do want to serve God I'm starting to feel Im better off praising him at home but the Bible says we must congregate...

They treated them better because they listened and followed them! Any opposition caught the wrath!

25:15-25:22…. This is exactly how I throw a temper tantrum with my man! “And you know it” and all !!! I thought she was me for a second 🤣
My grandparents are both pastors with their own church I was born and raised as a PK and it was def a certain spotlight my family and I lived in which was very hard things I went through as a normal kid was broadcasted and it wasn’t fair there is a lot of things that do happen in the church that just aren’t right I am still saved and believe in god but the people in the church have the spirit of judgement and it’s gotta change
I love the animations in your intro, and I'm happy you're letting people in on something that is triggering for you so that people can have a better understanding of what you were feeling. ❤❤❤
I love him he’s so soft spoken
@25:00 Teee you funny asss shit but definitely took me back to my childhood ! I grew up in the church as well and would have those same experiences where they would be acting a fool and I would know they FAKING IT !!
I was brought up Catholic and when I would go to other churches with my friends their pastor would always ask me what religion was I and when I told them Catholic they told me I was going to hell but who were they to pass that judgement only God decides and that was not what God told me but I know now that those pastors might be left behind for playing God in my life
Love your openness 🙏🏾❤️❤️
Respect due 💯 % I been a fan of your content for like 5 years. Much continued success 💯 %
I appreciate that!!
Omg this is giving twin flame universe. Specifically the making people not go to college to use them to work for the church. This is so sad bt I’m glad u guys got out.
I was so uneducated about this topic 😮I appreciate you for shedding light on this❤
25:14 😂😂😂😂 not the invisible drum set!
Tyrone is so wise God bless him🫶
they were cursing yall! oh my goodness. God bless you
Omg i loved the vulnerability and truth!!!
I remember I grew up like this too it wasn’t even with my family. My mom was going through vulnerable times and her friend forced us to do all these things. I appreciate you talking about this!
Tee has the best best videos ever
Teeeeee your freckles are so cuteee, thank you for sharing your story !
Excellent job Tee ❤
I LOVE THIS BECAUSE I GREW UP THE SAME WAY BEING JUDGE BY THE PERSON WHO BROUGHT MY FAMILY TO CHURCH WHICH WAS ALSO A FAMILY MEMBER AND WHILE I EXPERIENCED ALOT OF MIRACLES AND HOW GOD SPOKE TO US WITH TRUTH AND DELIVERED FAMILY MEMBERS I STILL FELT LIKE THOSE PEOPLE WERE NEVER PERFECT AND BY ALL MEANS MEANT TO LEAD. THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT MY FAMILY MEMBER TO CHURCH WHERE DIFFERENT THEY LEAD W GRACE AND UNDERSTANDING AND I CAN SEE THE FRUSTRATION COMING FROM TEE TOWARDA VICKY BECAUSE ALTHOUGH SHE MEANS WELL SHES GOING ABOUT IT THE WRONG WAY SHE ALMOST IS MOCKING OUR GOD BY GOING AROUND YELLING AT PEOPLE SAYING “god says” BECAUSE GOD DOES SAY BUT HE ALSO DECIDES AND KNOWS OUT HEART. VICKY PISSED ME OFF SAYING SHE COULD JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY WAS WRONG BECAUSE SHES NOT SPEAKING TO PEOPLE TO THEIR HEARTS SHE JUST YELLS AND POINTS A FINGER EXCLUDING PEOPLES ISSUES.
Religions divides rather than brings together.
Thanks tee for keeping it all the way real. I really could see why on the show why you were upset. But I loved this video💞💞thank you for sharing your experience I know it’s very much personal and could be a hard topic to discuss for people! And your cousin has such good energy!😇
The devil put that person in the car accident!!
I love this and Ty is definitely a honest vibe
God sees the moment of the heart and u will be judge on those moments ❤️ wowwwww that was deep felt that 17:28
This is so similar to my experience. I just left a christian cult about two years ago. It’s so hard and lonely sometimes but it’s great to know i’m not alone in my experience unfortunately
I’m so glad u called out Scotty!
love this & definitely something that should be spoken about. it pushes people esp kids away from God bc the false narratives.
I completely agree with y’all. I went through something like this at my old church home
Thank you for sharing tee❤
Cousin Tyrone is preaching!!!
I love you Tee you and your cousin are wonderful people!!!
Good video telling your truth!
Thank you!!!
i wanna sit down and talk with you! you hold loads of wisdom@@HiMyNamesTee
This sounds like how my mom is. To be honest my mom is a good person but at the same time she’s not. I had a mental breakdown one time and told her “you talk about God like it’s a cult and he’s a cult leader” while crying because that’s exactly how it felt to me. She started acting crazy, screaming jumping up and down. It was very weird and scary. Also, I got abused n choked by her older son at 16 one day (he’s not my biological brother and I’m adopted) and that’s the first time I felt like she actually had some type of evil in her because after he did she started yelling at me about how I was wrong and basically defending him. The man was in his 40s, muscular, heavy set and over 6 foot. I was 16, my weight fluctuates between 112-120, and I’m still 5’3. Also, didn’t hit him first. And there’s times where I would feel like god did something for me and she’ll tell me nah that’s the devil. And it makes me not want to be a Christian anymore and just be spiritual. A lady in the church also hit me and started yelling when I was on my phone playing a game when I was younger. So yes church and family can definitely bring you far from god. You have to talk, get to know, and see him for him on your time instead of going based on what other people believe. Most church people will go to church but do the most unholy things out of this world. I used to say god know my heart because I really believe he do. She told me that I was evil and the devil but No one can tell me I’m evil and the devil no more because he knows me. I am the most empathetic person even when I was emotionally numb, I even cried. I don’t believe I’m evil and I don’t believe he thinks I am.
I love the fact that i can come to youtube and learn about what people have been through.💙💙💙💙 Its very hard to do that on reality tv. Especially Zeus.
Thank you both for sharing your stories. I can totally relate to your cousin, growing up in the church as a gay man. God is love. God is merciful and forgiving. Love your neighbor as you love yourself is the most important commandment after loving God with all our heart, mind and soul. ❤️ God bless 🙏🏼
That little wave at the beginning got me 🤣❤️
I grew up in a tumultous christian househould with my uncle ( a Pastor), aunt and cousins. They would curse each other out , even me. Then because i refused to go back to that exact church ( where several church members were cheating and gossiping, plus one of the elder members disrespected me) my uncle said it seemed i was damned to hell then told me i was excummunicated because i wouldnt return. To this day the house is still messy and they are still cursing and disrespecting each other almost everyday. My cousin came down a few weeks ago( their daughter) they ended up cursing and shouting and she ended up kicking them out of her airbnb. Her baby got sick and they came back to help . Then when they left she cut everyone off including me
By the way they cursed and shouted 3 times during that 2 weeks. I was the scape goat in the family and eversince I left they turned on each other. My bigger cousin who rented the aifbnb was a devoted christian and is now an atheist married to a muslim. Her dad is very embarrassed
I’m so sorry I hope that you heal from this and are able to move forward
@@HiMyNamesTee Thanks tee. It took me a while to get over it. I had moved from the family house years ago, thank goodness
Not often to hear of a black church based type cult but this is def is it. I grew up typical southern black baptist church. There is a true spirit of God you where raised with though! You both know the Lord in His realness and if nothing else y’all still have that despite the negative experience and abuse. Loved the talk ❤
Tee you did what you had to do I’m so proud of you , you surprised me so much I was like tee punched her then flipped her like damn et the lap dog 🐶 got beat up keep your head up tee all love
Btw I love you and your music so much yes you are truly special and regardless of whatever you have been through in life you are truly talented and blessed and can’t wait to see you become and even bigger star then you already are!!! I also love you on baddies
My fave on the Baddies keep being you Queen ❤❤
Literally came over soon as I saw the instagram clip!😇
I love these videos pls keep making more. vlogs , sit downs , and getting to know you more period ❤
When it comes to God saying he is a jealous God he means he’s jealous for our time, and that he’s jealous over us . When we choose to put things first in our life’s they become idols and he clearly says idols or anything else we put before him is a sin, let’s lit forget that God is holy so even when he’s jealous over us he’s still holy. He asked us not to be jealous because the hate that drives the jealousy and out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks which me when you let hatred and jealousy stir up in your heart it will eventually come out and sometimes unfortunately acted upon.
Thanks To Both You & Your Cousin For Sharing Your Stories, Tee! I know it couldn’t have been easy to tell the world 🌎. ❤❤❤❤
I wish this video was much longer

I really appreciate you tee & your cousin being so open and speaking up about your experience growing up this is your story & im so apologetic because the reality is a normal family upbringing isn’t the reality for you and sadly many of us don’t have that either but your strength to really speak on your experience and not let this define you truly speaks on your characters and to still trust in god your a real genuine soul as is your cousin a genuinely beautiful soul. Thank you guys so much for taking your time to speak your truth and your story about being in a family religious “cult” so to say or more so a family with a mindset that is similar to a cult. I hope you found closure within the things that happened as you grew up and if you are to speak to your family or not we support you tee all the way and appreciating you being so open I wish you the abundance of happiness in your life I think your so strong and amazing with courage to come on here and say this is what it is and this is my experience my past my life I respect real people and you and your cousin are to be proud of yourself for coming from a tough situation and making a life outside of that experience and not letting it define you - LOTS OF LOVE YOUR FAN JESS PHILLIPS FROM SYDNEY AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤

This sounds like my church , I grew up Pentecostal. The only that I can say though is that when the scandal showed up- my family removed themselves and built their own
Ooo Teeeee... nah, we now friends in my head. Had to get my ass up and outta bed as I was watching you guys on my TV and find my phone to give you your flowers. You are such a beautiful person. Inside and out. Your a bad bitch, your intelligence shines naturally having such a rich experience in your life by being yourself in so many different situations and that allows you to speak from a place of experience. You are so well rounded you get in where you fit in, which is anywhere and you learn from so many different sides. You are a business woman, you are funny and silly and living in your truth. Girl, u played ya stay at that baddie house like a master chess player. You are just a fuckin G. Nobody, and no baddie can come close.
