"She recieved 'messages' through the shaking of her body." No, that was just the alcoholism.

They came to Kauai and the locals literally ‘chanted’ them off the island. It was epic.

“What kind of deity would be disappointed by meatballs?” Couldn’t have said it any better than that.

"If she woke up and felt good, it was a great awakening"...........Priceless absolutely priceless.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the man they drugged and left naked in the middle of the desert. After that they started making fun of him on a livestream, as well as saying that his energy was very bad and that he's going "to the other side of the mountain" because he said "no" to "Mother God". This man was exhibiting symptoms of being emotionally unstable and his family said he was getting obsessed with researching conspiracy theories; he ended up finding the "Love Has Won" cult online and left without any warning, later saying he was "on a spiritual journey to save the world" or something similar. After two days there that involved hard labour, 3-4 hours of sleep and being told more about the lore of the cult (and that's some pretty crazy shit) he contacted his family saying he was trying to find a way to come back home. He didn't return, his family couldn't reach him and were very disturbed when they found the livestream I mentioned above. They filled a missing person report and a search party was organised. The man was found naked, disorientated, drugged and dehydrated wandering through the desert. His name is Alex Whitten and he says they left him to die because he refused to serve "Mother God" and because he wanted to leave. There's a very good article called "Crestone cult Love Has Won leaves man to die desert" by GuruMag where they detail all of their weird beliefs and history, as well as this situation. By the way, I heard they made the children sleep with her corpse... Which if true is awful... Beyond words.

"What does a god need with a starship?" Captain Kirk "What god doesn't want meatballs?" Dr Grande

"The members have denied that it's a cult, so I will refer to it as a cult." lol

You are the hardest working man on KZfaq! And I do so enjoy watching you NOT diagnosing anyone, just speculating on what could be happening in situations like these. 😉

The devil works hard but Dr. Grande works harder

I fell on the floor laughing when he said,"Amy Carlson set the bar low", and that "she had the longest tenure." Deadpan savagery at its finest.

" Help needs to be available for those that don't always ask for it." THIS- is why I Love Dr. Grande!

"The fantasy is better than the pain of not having what they desire" - Thank you again for your brilliant explanation Dr. Grande.

Can you imagine the insanity that poor 13 year old girl witnessed??? I hope she heals- but I also hope she writes a book after that healing 👀

I'm no deity, but I'm never disappointed by meatballs.

Well I certainly want glitter and Christmas lights when I die ✨

What did we do to deserve the extra video early this morning? Your spoiling us.

Time for my daily Grande :)

I love how abrupt Doc Venti was when he said "i will refer to it as a cult"

There is totally going to be a Netflix miniseries about this case...

Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating what could be happening in a cult like this.

Remember to hit that LIKE button so we can show our appreciation for dr Grande's efforts 😀

✨"Anyone can be a cult leader"✨ so inspirational 😏💖 thank you Dr Grande

Oh I'm so happy you're speculating about what could be happening in this case!! What a bizarre story.

I had never even heard of Amy Carlson. I just like to listen to Dr. Grande. And this one was fascinating and hilarious.

Being a fan of true crime has shown me some strange and disturbing things. Finding a mummified cult leader wrapped in Christmas lights. That's a new one, and I've heard about the Anthill kids.

If you're having to deny being in a cult, you're probably in a cult.

“What kind of deity would be disappointed by meatballs?”... GOLD Dr Grande!!

I love how the top of every cactus is visible, the mic is perfectly placed for cactus viewing 🙌🙌

Got Dang it....I hate when I leave the house, come back and it is full of dead bodies.

Come for the smooth voice, stay for the Grande burns!

I remember seeing her on Dr Phil. Her sister was very worried about her and her mental health. I had no idea she had passed away. It's so sad that she refused help.

I’m liking the light peach today. Very nice.

9:52 “the old ascension defense” 😂😂😂

These cults are detrimental not only to their followers mental health but also to their financial health. I have watched some interviews of people who had left cults and their reports were very disturbing. Their lives were shattered in so many ways. To me, it’s disgusting to see how these “gurus” prey on people’s vulnerabilities. Thanks for another thought-provoking video Dr. Grande.❤️ Btw, I didn’t think you would upload today given that you uploaded two videos yesterday. Nonetheless, I was very happy to see the notification.😊

In the videos I’ve seen of “Mother God” she just seemed like an abusive, belligerent drunk. Most disturbing was a video of her “helping” a couple “train” their toddler by locking the child in a dark closet. The child was hysterical but the parents felt “Mother God” knew best. I know her mother and sister tried to get Amy help but there wasn’t really anything they could do. Since we no longer have involuntary commitment in this country, except in limited cases, Amy was left to just destroy her life and take others down with her.

I believe with Amy, with everything I’ve heard from her family and ex’s; the primary issue was addiction, chronic alcohol abuse since at least her mid-20’s. She blacked out every day or night, according to family & friends; and frequently mixed in various drugs, including meth and mushrooms. While her family didn’t think she had any early indications of mental illness; the fact that she neglected and abandoned her children indicates there WERE other issues. Her so-called “teachings” were superficial and all over the place. She didn’t even know basic teachings in the Bible and seemed to just pick and choose trigger words and phrases from other faiths-often confusing what teaching came from where. She was a con-artist and an addict with a history of using and manipulating men and women to get what she wanted. Some ex-members have come out claiming that the core group seemed more interested in the steady stream of drugs and alcohol rather than any teachings or practices. An ex-fiancé she was back and forth with for years before she started her cult, recently posted some videos you might be interested in. The blind leading the blind, vulnerable using the more vulnerable, addicts using addicts.

Dr Grande, you need to analyse the Nikki Pillippi scandal that is blowing up now on social media, and the killing of their dog!!

Dr Grande always transports me into a new dimension, one of rational analysis and critical thinking. 😃

@ 4:35 What a Rogue's Gallery of Sick and Twisted Zombies.

THE SHADE IS STRONG TODAY. 😄😄😄 Just what I needed at 10:30pm. Send me off to sleep with a chuckle. Thanks Dr. Gawg😉 Nice hair by the way.

She has been trying to save the human race even before the big bang happened😂😂😂

You need to make a t-shirt that says, "What kind of deity would be disappointed by meatballs?" I love that! :D

I've been obsessed with this cult since the news broke of her death. Fascinating and tragic.

“She declared herself to be mother god, decided to leave her third husband and quit her job at McDonalds” You can’t make that stuff up, I’m so glad to be alive in the 21century Man why can’t we bring old school Australia back... just a big piece of rock in the ocean where we send all the holy mcD workers and other intellectually gifted?

10:38 'what Kinda deity would be disappointed by meatballs?" I wasn't expecting this video to make me laugh like that, that caught me off guard!

I’d love to hear your opinion on cults and gangs. Seems to be similar risk factors and dynamics but I’ve never heard a discussion about the similarities and differences.

My ex girlfriend won't leave, I need more information on how to "negotiate her departure".

We all have those 5'th dimension days

Im only speculating but seems to me Meatballs are a great indicator of higher awareness.

"I guess she wanted to get a head start" LMAOOOOO!! Best channel on KZfaq.

This just makes me sad. When I knew her, she was in a relationship, living in Mt Shasta. She would videotape messages and everyday there was a train that would interrupt her video. I met her online because of my art. Evidently my drawings held meaning for her. When I knew her, she was hopeful. She was participating, interacting with people associated with the galactic federation of light, gfol. She was living in a very abusive environment. She and I would Skype and I witnessed some of that abuse she experienced. It was a few years after that we communicated briefly, also about my art. She used to be very sweet, and she was someone who others enjoyed being around. When I saw her on Dr Phil, she was so changed in so many ways. She was so sick, both physically and mentally. I'm assuming because of the alcohol. It wouldn't surprise me if they found suspicious circumstances in an autopsy.

Happy Mothers Day to me. Coffee and headphones time 😎 'I will refer to it as a cult' 🤣

I am diagnosing myself, my mental health is top notch and I love and appreciate you. You make my days brighter.

"The old ascension defence"..always a tough one...loved this analysis. Thank you😍

The humor is always on point 😂

Thank you for not diagnosing anyone however Barney Fife would have said "They're a NUT!*😉

Dr Grande, I’d love to hear your take on Tess Holiday’s announcement that she has been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. Can someone who has been obese for much of their adult life actually have anorexia ? It would be great if you could shed some light on the whole confusing controversy.

"I hope you find my analysis of this topic, capable of transforming you to a new dimension." Looks like the good Doctor is dipping his toes in the water of starting his own cult. We're ready Doc. Lead us to the new dimension!

Your voice is really soothing, calm and you give an amazing overview of what happened.

One day I really would love to hear you diagnosing someone.

“What kind of deity would be disappointed by meatballs?” That cracked me up! 😆

When you your major hang are people who are on the fringes of sanity, sooner or later you, one of your posse, or someone you have infringed upon usually gets you.

What part did her job at McD’s play in her descent into madness?🤔 Perhaps...the lack of meatballs on the dollar menu... 19 billion, huh...similar to the number of hamburgers sold by McD’s (when it was listed on their signs ages ago)

I think past lives are possible but how come nobody ever claims to be Jon Smith, the guy that worked at the phone company? They always claim to be Marlyn Monroe or King Tut etc

I saw her family on Dr. Phil, a few months ago. She appeared via online zoom or similar app.

‘The old ascension defense’ 🤣 I never understood how people can fall for cults

Omg. I didn’t even know she died until I found this video 😨😳

Thank you! Having a tough day. Needed a Dr. Grande video!

Wow, pretty impressive she lived to see 19 billion

“What if life were an orgy?” This question has its roots in the Amy Carlson story. Reading about her experiences suggested that she was unable to come to terms with conventional society and its guardians. I believe this is what she experienced when the thought occurred to her that social experience is always at a muted or low frequency. Amy wanted to believe there was more to life than marketing, college educations, and home ownership. Whatever that more is didn’t have to be reduced to sex, booze or drugs. Each of those forms of escape prove to be dead ends. Now, could contemporary society be a “cult”? Is society authoritarian? Is contemporary society manipulative? Do mind-control techniques shape attitudes and practices of members of society? Are conversions and harassment forms of social control? Aren’t all belief systems products of new circumstances?

I'm amazed by your work ethic Dr grande. Love your videos and insights. Can you please share your insights and analysis on Maggie Wilken- Knodel case. Thank you🙏.

🤣 I love your sense of humor. Bentinho Massaro may be another interesting person to cover.

Ah this whole story is fascinating. Thanks for covering it.

"What kind of deity would be disappointed by meatballs?" IKR! CONTACT.

Abuse is a cycle that is so easily perpetuated. Tragic.

Thanks Dr. Grande. Would it be possible to analysis a few people who have done heroic acts and/or people who have accomplished things that helped or served others? We could all use some inspiration I believe.

TY for this. I agree that the pendulum concerning societal interest in the care of our mentally ill has got to swing back to more, rather than less, help available to all, incl. "those who don't seek it". There are legion, and they suffer and lead to societal suffering. We know so much more now, it would be the correct thing to use this knowledge to aid the most possible. TC! PS~cute plants, Doc.! :)

Love your content a lot! Liked before watching.

I used to say alcohol was part of every culture and it’s unnatural to quit drinking. Now, I haven’t had a drink in 21’years. Booze is dangerous.

I have knew her a few years ago... I didn't realize she died. She was always in screwed up situations with awful people who took advantage of others. Wow. Just crazy.

How were you able to get through this video with a straight face, Dr. Grande? Is there a bloopers reel? Thank you a always, for your hard work and content!

i wonder why human beings seem so attracted to cult-like structures... do you think its our nature or because we're taught from a young age to respect and obey authority without question?

I wonder if there are any cults who admit to being a cult...like if you ask them "Are you a cult?" They will answer "Yes, we are a cult. We clearly tick all the boxes."

Your dry sense of humor is fun to watch & listen to.

Our doctors works faster than I can watch his videos! 😂

The timing... I have been watching all kinds of videos about this and was wondering about her mental health. Thank you

I expect that they considered cannabis & magic mushrooms to be natural too, it appears their issue was with pharmaceuticals. I found it interesting that her mother said to Dr. Phil that, Amy 'mother god', was not a maternal mother towards her children, even before she left. I think she left when her 3rd child was around two, so I wondered if perhaps she had serious postnatal depression leading to untreated psychosis.

Dr. Grande outdid himself this week, covering such a variety of topics, including a surprise analysis at 2 am this morning!!! 🪴🪴🪴Regarding Carlson, I feel sorry for the 3 children that didn't ask to be brought into the world and pray that they are safe. Happy Mother's Day to all from NY🗽

new age cults all over America the yoga scene is infiltrated with all these types and the healing community I had to quit teaching bc I couldn't take it anymore

I watched some of their livestreams here on KZfaq, man, I just couldn’t believe people could be this brainwashed.

**From my new transported level* *: your analysis is simply _a la Grande_ 🍀🌵🍀Thanks a much....🍀👍🍀

Thank you for the brilliant and succint analysis of why some people are vulnerable to cults. Having lost friends over the years to various strange belief systems, I'm very grateful that I was able to recognise the cultish tendencies of two groups (initially inspiring and supportive) and get out, but others stayed on and on and on .........

Hell yes! Thank you for taking this one on!

Dr Grande please keep sending us! Also the blooming cacti!

The old "ascension" defense 😂😂

Never heard of her, but hey, I always love a good cult story.

Great video Dr Grande!! The roast in the end was great!! 🤣

“The old ascension defense” Oh Dr. lol

Wow, your sarcasm was truly on point. Never laughed so much at one of your vids. Thank you.

Been waiting for this one!! Thank you Doc!!!
