Entering America’s Extreme Weight Loss Cult: A Journey into Remnant Fellowship
In our latest exploration, we delve into the chilling world of the Remnant Fellowship Church in Tennessee, led by the late Gwen Shamblin, a figure who intertwined extreme dieting with faith and spirituality. This video uncovers the shocking rise and fall of Shamblin, who built an empire that thrived on strict control and an alluring image — both of which concealed dark truths lurking behind the scenes.
We hear firsthand accounts from former cult members, including Shamblin’s own son, Michael Black, as they recount their experiences inside this unusual church. Viewers will be shattered by stories of manipulation, body shaming, financial exploitation, and even abuse camouflaged under the guise of religion.
As we venture deeper into this community, the unsettling realities of what members were willing to endure in the name of achieving the “perfect body” and divine approval come to light. From the strict regimens to the critical surveillance of congregants, this cult reveals a chilling dynamic where faith and fanaticism blur, creating a pressure cooker for psychological and physical distress.
Join us as we navigate through these harrowing narratives, witnessing an empire built on the pretense of spiritual enlightenment with a sinister undercurrent. Expect revelations that will make you question not only the faith of the members but the very essence of control and charisma in religiosity.
Stay tuned to discover just how far one woman’s vision warped into a labyrinth of loyalty and fear, and find out what remains of the community today after Shamblin’s controversial death in a plane crash.

This ain't no different than catholicism tho. Cults
Un alimentazione salutare non è una religione ma un educazione che ne io ne altri posso dirti. Ci sono delle laureae che ti educano a questo..Ragazzi dio non è guerra none odio ricevi un schiaffo porgi altra guancia. RAGAZZI ma 90 gradi neanche il Trump c è lo farà fare ❤❤😂
I hope he heals from this trauma. I had male cheer coaches that would harp on weight and if you’re “skinny and blonde” you’ll be in the front. It really fucks with your head and I only dealt with that for a few years… I can’t imagine that being my mom.
Дуже цікаве та змістовне відео
As long as they aren't violent, or talking about overthrowing the Government, the FBI will leave them alone…..they're too busy with Antifa and Muslim terrorists right now. These guys are small potatoes.
In Italy my family got sometimes visits by Jehovah's witnesses. My mother was a 100% catholic but she did not want to be impolite and let them in. One day they forgot their diary.
My mom was always curious. She opened it and read a lot of details about our family. They had jotted down the most important pieces of information about our family. After that incident she refused to let them in.
الحمد لله على نعمة الإسلام ❤🎉

Now do one of these on Islam, please.
Hey. I am listening to you in turkish. But you changed voice colour. Dont do it. Do like old type.
I don't like the way he refers to it as "the women's movement" it seems like he has a very complicated view of women in general. but I understand where he is coming from and how he would call it that and feel like that. It is all based on the women in his own life. This cult is terrible and toxic it is not the women's movement but it is what he experienced from a large group of women. It's sad. I'm glad he got away and I hope he can eventually heal psychologically. Otherwise he will become the other side of the same toxic coin.
Sounds just like the Mormon cult’s
Isaiah chapter 3 prophesies about all this and more.
christian nationalism is all about thinness equals being nearer to God. This is why all those tik tok christian creators bang on about diet in order to attract a husband.

LISTEN!
When parents pass, siblings separate.
Why?
"Parents do NOT choose children, children do NOT choose parents and children do NOT choose siblings."

She blamed the serpent, he blamed her. NO TRUST!
Little brother's gift was accepted and respected.
BIG brother's gift (2nd's) was rejected and he was NOT respected.
BIG brother's anger, rejection and jealousy led to the first "M". NO TRUST!

What about Ariana grande ??
Is she the new boss?
I seriously doubt that you’ll get into the church. They come off to me as extremely profitable devils in disguise.. good luck brother, be safe 💯
How come that a country that has one of the highest academics. Can produce people with this type of madness.
They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One Allah. There is no Allah save Him. Be He Glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)! [Holy Quran, 9:31]
How someone can follow a living skeleton , the daughter is like a zombie, what is wrong with people from North America? No critical thinking?

Interesting story. Thanks for the video. Great work bro. 💯
used to live near here, we snuck onto the campus and played volleyball at night once cause they had a sand court. about 10 min in, we saw a person walk out of the back of the church and just stare in the darkness at us. we noped the fuck out of there and saw two black trucks pull in as we whipped out
Just take ozempic. No need for all this nonsense.
I'm sure they video taped the young people sex party to use for bribes and to sell the videos. The repulsive rich dont get that way without playing dirty
I mean ive seen way worse. Flippin weirdos.
Eu fiquei impressionadas😮 com a forma de manipulação que ela usava pra controlar ao menbros, e ainda continua 😔😔😔
Why would you roll up with a big visible furry microphone?
That is in one of the richest counties in America. There are plenty of famous country singers, actors, pro athletes (Titans, Predators, MLS), and others located there. How many of them are associated with that cult?
Mike needs a lil therapy for the major trauma he’s endured so he can find love again for women, but go him for speaking out! Hope this “church” gets exposed!!
Doentes apóstatas doutrina de demônios
I have a feeling that Michael’s father and other men misogynistically drove Gwen into utter psychosis and resulting narcissism. The root of misandry is misogyny.
Super proud of the work we did on this 🙏 Michael is the man!
When you think of Ariana Grande?
There’s people in government intelligence that go there or sympathetic and using their power for the cult? I can’t help but think of the recent speech demanding no more fat troops or fat generals! I don’t think it’s connected whatsoever, but just thought of it! Ha! This is one of the most wild interesting strange cults I’ve ever seen! I’m going to definitely watch this a second time! Great job Drew!
This is one of the most fascinating investigations I’ve done in America and the craziest part is that it’s still ongoing! Thanks for watching and I hope you have an amazing day!
