The Way Down: God, Greed, and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin

"This is an absolutely insane watch. There are so many layers, I’m honestly speechless about the utter lack of humanity shown by these people. This may be very triggering for people who have experienced trauma in the past related to religion or family, as well as people who have struggled with disordered eating so that is my disclaimer. "

"Imo a relatively well done documentary. Had never heard of this before so it was pretty wild to me how off the rails it all was. Watched in one sitting so yea I myself was hooked . "

"Not one of my favorite or the most interesting cult docs. It's not very well made, messy, jumps all over the place, I got lost quite a few times, and it's just not a very interesting story. Also, I can't for the life of me understand how anyone could look at Gwen Shamblin and think they want to be like her in any way. She looks like a clown, I would never be able to take someone like her seriously. "

"Whoa! I don’t know how to describe what she did to those church members. The interviews with former church goers from her church was so sad to hear. "

"Whoa. Apparently this series isn’t finished yet, but no word on when the final two episodes will drop or what’s holding them up. "

"I moved to Tennessee and found out I work right down the road from this horrific place, I have no words. I pass this place all the time and had NO idea the horrors that have gone on here! It really makes you question and side eye everything in life, where evil is happening. It’s mind blowing to me that there has been no legal action after the child abuse. A church should have NO control over people’s children, where they should be placed, etc. the control this church has over it’s followers is sickening. No parent, wife, child, man, etc should have to go through what these survivors did. "

"Did I watch this?"

"Absolutely WILD. I'm so shocked more people aren't talking about this! "

"A sad but eye-opening story. Predators like her are always looking for preys..."
