Did you ever think that overeating, specifically, could send your soul to Hell? Or that not losing enough weight, fast enough, could jeopardize your salvation? These are just some of the many terrible (and bizarre) messages that very skinny self-proclaimed "prophetess" Gwen Shamblin Lara preached before she died in a plane crash in 2021. Sadly, the cultish church she built, lives on. And this week, we explore (and mock) its weirdly weight-centric teachings.Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-3dKEiruxB4Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?
