roaming_kate23Has anyone else been following the story of Gwen Shamblin Lara? She was married to Joe Lara(a former Tarzan and also a pilot but not a very good one but I’m getting to that..)
Gwen ran a weight loss church and put out a bunch of books which were used in churches all over the country.
The diet itself? Only eat when you’re hungry and only eat half of what you need. Be thin and deny yourself and only think about God and you will be thin. Oh, and Gwen is God. And don’t even THINK about having any sort of mental health issues. A big ‘ol nono according to Gwen.
Sooo.. a deprivation diet. Sorry, gonna go on a rant right here:
What the actual fuck. I thought some of these fundamentalist churches were bad but this is worse by far. Not only is it a cult but it’s promoting a scary ass diet. Literally has me shaking my head.
Like so many other cults they discouraged contact with people who were not in the cult.That is a very common tactic with cults.
Gwen and several people(including her husband who was flying the plane who yes, was a pilot, died in a plane crash. Yikes. They were in a small plane and he didn’t know what he was doing.
* Every picture I’ve seen of her she has HUGE hair. What’s the other saying? Big hair= lots of secrets? Gotta wonder if she was doing the Dolly Parton thing and wearing wigs because the hair pretty much always looked the same .That’d be a lot of hairspray to be using every day just to do your hair.. Can you say “ozone hole?” LOL
