    Quick correction: Natasha Pavlovich was crowned Miss Yugoslavia and Miss Beverly Hills, and was a finalist in the Miss California-USA pageant (I accidentally stated she won Miss California). Who should I cover next? Video chapters below.

  • It was the HAIR for me! Her hair was like a visual of her ego. As she became more self absorbed and maniacal, her hair grew bigger and higher! Fascinating
  • @LordiAwa
    Have I ever heard of this woman? - No Will I watch a 1h long video about her downfall - Absolutly.
  • @sunnyquinn3888
    Another thing about the over-the-top hair is that the hair being so big made her look skinnier in comparison. This is important for the leader of a weight loss cult.
  • @janerogers2101
    After watching this I went and watched the HBO documentary. It was lame, drawn out, and full of fluff. This was sharp, to the point, and far superior, and it was free to watch! Well done.
  • @queenbee9874
    This woman was dangerous. I thought about joining this nut clump once and my uncle who’s a preacher told me god didn’t care what size your body was he cared what size your heart was. Best advice I was ever given
  • "She regularly got her hair and makeup done for free by church members." I'm guessing those church members passively- aggressively hate her, LOL. 😂
  • @donaldlawson24
    Great Documentary..Back in 2015, I briefly tried to date a woman who was involved in this cult. She was constantly quoting scripture to me. BUT her interpretations of these various scriptures were always wrong and out of context. One evening, she got on a rampage about how great King David was as a man after God's heart. I listened very intently to all the examples she gave to me about David and his greatness. I could tell that Gwen Shamblin had been preaching about this recently in her services. So I told her that David was a great man of God. But he was also a Murderer, a liar, and a cheat , and he also committed adultery. He orchestrated the death of one of his soldiers so that he could sleep with the man's wife....Hahaha. She told me that I had a demon of knowledge on me...hahaha..we never spoke again.
  • @elenahingle699
    Gwen said as she spoke about greed in the end, “ God will not be mocked!”So true!
  • “In an ironic twist of fate, it was said that the plane went down because it was overweight in capacity.” This is the greatest documentary I have ever seen. Period.
  • @sammcclain3778
    As a Tennessean living just around an hour from Brentwood I WAS SHOCKED that I had never heard of Gwen before. I even talked to my mother about her (born in 1966 , also born in Tennessee) and she had never heard of Gwen either. Thank you for this great documentary. It has really been eye opening!
  • @gra-emed3617
    My gaaaad when did it all go so wrong for her hair! I mean she went from a sort of typical affluent 90s southern lady with a full bodied southern style bob, and turned in to something from the Munsters 😂😂😂
  • @standoughope
    There's only one southern woman with big hair that's protected by God... I'm of course speaking of our national treasure Dolly Parton.
  • @rachelcookie321
    I can’t get over how normal and pretty she looked at the start and how insane she looked by the end. She obviously knew how to do good hair and makeup evident by the videos of when she was younger, how did she end up with that mess? Looks like she let a 5 year old child do it.
  • @corgisrule21
    My mom took me along with her when she did the Weigh Down method when I was a kid (and yes, I was fat😂), but she didn’t go into the cult of it. She just saw it as a diet and started doing more daily Bible time….I had NO clue that she had an actual “church”! 😳
  • @laraamaro8908
    Oh dear lord, the engagement video....i just can't 😂😂😂😂
  • @shelbsss0
    Imagine being told to stay with a lying, cheating husband because "divorce is wrong" just for your "pastor" to then get divorced and remarried within 60 days because now "in some instances its okay". Absolutely not.
  • @felicia7756
    To encourage parents to abuse their children is just plain evil
  • @frannypalmer2726
    "Overweight in capacity." Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💕 AND she died before her message about greed was finished.
