It would be fascinating to see how comments I might make on WDW videos would last ..

[jeanettemontanez]

You are a twister of words. I did not say Satan owned the world I said their are many systems set up in the world especially in weight loss that ARE governed by Satan. Any system that centers on self is of Satan, when it comes to weight loss. Oh I could name many areas but this is the arena we are talking about. You are a person with a made up mind to believe what your going to believe and twist the words of anyone who doesn't believe the way you do. I will not be pulled into your delusion.

[Rafaeldamian]

@jeanettemontanez .. You raise a great point about the twisting of words. You've done a great job of it here, ignoring the plain thrust of your teacher Gwen Shamblin's assertion that the world belongs to Satan. You've learned much from her by learning how to spin what she really meant into a homogenized vanilla defense of her own addled thinking. Congratulations. I hope she gives you a gold star on your card next time you share a Long Island Tea with her at the bar after church on Saturday night

You sound almost venomous in your response to Gwen's weight loss plan. I have read her books and never once does she advocate earning God's Love and Grace by being at the "proper weight". Her goal is simple. Eat only when you are hungry and learn to understand your body's hunger cycle to the point of satiation. American's have become pignopins with their large portions and super size cravings. Gwen is teaching each of us to trust God to lead us down the right path.

[Rafaeldamian]

@pammieroo Oh, so saying the world is owned by Satan and painting all non-Gwen Approved churches, Christians, doctors and dieters as Satanic pawns is sweetness and hearts, Pammie? You think I'M "venomous" ? Shall I go on? I could quote a dozen other quotes from her teachings that show how "sweet" her bilous ravings are. The problem is you are so used to the taste you can't tell the difference anymore.

[bereansearch]

The principles of the book seem fine. But be careful following a "Spiritual Leader" who denies the Trinity and starts her own church with followers who failed on this diet, to give them more attention and support. May your pounds fall away, without you falling away from the gospel. Don't be a part of Shamblin's remnant... She says focus on God, but who is her god?

[TheLizzylou2]

Im not a member of RF church but the truth is this people dont wanna lay down sin and they want the food more than they want a relationship with God. IT is a choice SIN is a choice and greed for food is gluttony. Read the bible and really read and comprehend the words. Ive been to remnant as a guest to my co worker and ive met so many loving generous and wonderful people who may be brainwashed but they live gods word everyday and wont be left behind. so keep eating fatties!!!

[blanchefful]

Gwen a prophet? That is such a joke. And I'm Michael Jordan.

[blanchefful]

@bereansearch You are right. Everything was fine for me before I joined her church. I loved her program doing it on my own then I joined her church and it was like hell. They "smack your hands" and henpeck you almost constantly. No matter what you do they always find something wrong with it. The leaders are considered blameless and never apologize for hurting your feelings and she supports them in their bad behavior. It is sick. Her God is GWEN!

@ziongrl1 If Rafealdamian is correct, then his anger is a righteous anger. Jesus was angry when the temple of God was being misused and showed it.

And Gwen is wrong when she says that being obese is not a disease. For most it is not, but there are some that have a slow or inactive thyroid gland and that causes them to gain weight. So, there for you saying tat being fat is a sin because it is due to gluttony is wrong as well.

[AaronsEve]

@Rafaeldamian I am not part of this program, but I must say that Satan DOES control this World. It is Satan's Kingdom on loan by God. Satan's time is coming to an end. And thank God for that!

[blanchefful]

The woman they interviewed on the program is 100% right. OUTRAGEOUS that she has to remain anonomous. This Gwen is truely a mean, sue happy bully.

It is true, you can wind up with an eating disorder. I wound up with anorexia when I was in RF.

That Maggie chick is a jerk. When I first joined RF she was really helpful to me but i started gaining my weight back and asked for her help and instead of helping me she went behind my back and turned me into leadership.

[blanchefful]

@Rafaeldamian They claim they are "non profit" but I don't believe that at all. One gal who left told me she could have been filthy rich if she stayed. And Gwen went down to Florida and shot some videos and made a new seminar and the whole church paid for it and she ripped everyone off. It was supposed to be 10 weeks but she cut it short at 8 and took a vacation...on mine and the churche's dime, obviously. I've been in her house, she lives like she got mixed up with the mob.

[blanchefful]

@Rafaeldamian How true!! That's what I said. She totally trashed poor dear Mother Teresa's rep. I'd like to see Gwen get down in a gutter and pull someone out. Oh, but she might ruin her manicure. I'd like to see her at least go visit the burn ward at the Children's Hospital. Oh yeah, she probably thinks they deserve it, too, or they are paying for the sin of their forefathers. She has no compassion.

[blanchefful]

@bereansearch Very good point. I wish I have NEVER gotten involved with it. It is good to get away from it but it was hell when I first left, the people were horrible to me. I would have been better off not to join at all just go join Thin Within. Her God is God of self and she is building her own kingdom. She is a master manipulator and she gets her members to work for her by using God as a manipulative tool.

[blanchefful]

@ohiodarlin She absolutely is. PURE EVIL!!

[blanchefful]

@txterbyheart She may not say it in the book but she subtly implies it. She is very arrogant. What rafaeldamian says is true. She thinks she is smarter than everyone.
