Gwen Shamblin Lara Accused of Being a Cult Leader in New HBO Docuseries

October 25, 2021 by Staff

(ChurchLeaders) A new docuseries on HBO Max about controversial “Weigh Down Diet” author and Remnant Fellowship church founder Gwen Shamblin Lara aims to expose Lara as a cult leader and her church as abusive.

“The overarching theme of everything she taught in there was being under ‘God’s authority,’ which was her,” said Gina Wilson, who was a member of Remnant Fellowship for 13 years. “Everything fell around that. And then everything else was about the weight and what you looked like. So we were constantly being told every time we were together, and the other leaders backing it up, that she was the voice from God, she was the one hearing from God, she was the prophet of God. And who were we to think we could question what God’s telling her?”
