I had someone comment on my video and said $600 was a generous price for a retreat……😳 I’m like, “$600 for less than 48 hours, pictures, worship, food and baptisms??” No ma’am!
@@motherlessgoat72 Didn’t mean to thumbs down at first haha Yes! It’s awful. It’s , in my opinion, a lot of emotions al manipulation and sleep deprivation.
The prices people pay for her events really scares me, $600 seems just ridiculous and shows the ‘power’ all these big Christian influencer have. I’m going on a church weekend away literally next weekend and we are staying in a beautiful house next to a forest and it is only £75 (about $90) with everything included!
Hey angels extra updates. Allegedly they are trying to get Brittany's former team and ex-husband to testify during the trial for her alleged fitness scamming? So it may take longer for this trial to happen? Everything is very uncertain now, and I am trying to figure out the details.
That's so depressing because they now have another foster baby and the baby is black... With Jordan being convicted of police brutality on a black man. She is already exploiting the baby on socials. ☹
Okay update! I think the request for a later date got denied. It looks like it’s still happening in March. We shall see! Fingers crossed it happens next month 😊
Dannnngggg, Brittany Dawn needs to just get off social media and reclaim that soul back…..Brittany darling, please go get off social media, stop charging folks to come listen to what anyone can honestly google themselves or watch a YT video I guarantee they can as what isn’t on RUclips when you’re stuck on something and don’t know how. I mean it saddens me that she must think she’s doing something right even though she’s far from being in the right mindset and place…..I mean it’s a church function or from a church that obviously advertised this correct? So if I was from her church which btw um I’m not lmao and would never pay to hear her talk about anything to be honest. She hasn’t been a very good person, she’s not showing even good signs or actions rather of being a Christian, she is disrespectful, dishonest and been proven of these claims we speak of right now aren’t just comments or claims they are the truth and the fact is her church & the area she lives in have to know all about her and these lies so why are they pushing her lies and false information on people that either haven’t heard about her before (which I’m not sure how they didn’t hear about her before) & or don’t obviously know and understand how evil her soul is, all of the money she’s stolen from innocent victims & most likely has it hidden in probably an offshore bank account somewhere & how everything she says & does is a lie and dishonest & they are ruining their reputation for their own church sadly. I just don’t understand how she gets away with all of this stuff STILL, WTH IS GOING ON HERE?
The thing you described talking about getting emotional after being exhausted is known as cry night. I am a Christian and was a youth minister with my husband. I had planned on not letting the kids go to camp because I didn't trust it. The pastor convinced me and my husband to try this local camp run by a mutual friend on the condition that we could leave early if I saw shenanigans. Turns out that camp was specifically created because they were sick of the manipulation and cry night. My kids got to rest, and it is the only place that church takes anyone now. I truly wish others would follow that camp's model but I doubt it will happen.
when you brought up the exhaustion thing for camps and stuff that just made soooo much sense to me. as a kid i went to church camp every year and i always felt so much more compelled at our nightly worships than i ever did at church.
they’re christian’s that drink her koolaid so i guess they want to believe that jesus really forgives wrongs even when you don’t authentically apologize or change 🙃
I’m Christian but she doesn’t convince me at all, idk I just don’t get a good vibe from her at all. Especially after what she did. and hosting a retreat out of anyone she should not be the one doing one
I was seriously wondering when someone was going to cover this. It has scam written all over it. Kinda weird she can compile a whole mass gathering like this, but cannot get things ready for trial or pay back the people she scammed.

As someone who has been to Broken Bow a number of times, there were definitely more cabins to rent in the area. Like there are literally hundreds to choose from ranging in various prices because that’s a super popular in-state vacation spot for Oklahomans. There are literal neighborhoods full of just rental cabins. She could’ve gotten like 3 smaller ones side by side for cheaper and they’d probably all have the same owner/host too lol.
I still can’t get over her fitness scamming and it’s even more crazy she’s now scamming in a different industry … thanks for covering this !! Also question will we be getting Monat leadership summit content ?! ❤
I went to a retreat my church put on 2 years ago. It was about $250 for 2 nights. Food included. The bathtub baptism is awful. She's not qualified to do that.
I feel like the other takeaway from having people exhausted is this sense of "we did a lot of things." Like, if you're tired, it must mean that you had a full day of amazing bonding, healing, etc. etc. So, to your point about how it makes them feel something emotionally, I'd argue that it also makes them feel like there was an abundance whatever emotion they were feeling.

I grew up in a church where it started at 9am on Sunday then it would go to 2pm. Then we would go out to eat and go back to church at 7 to 10pm. This was every Sunday then 3 to 4 hrs Wednesday night. I believe in God but not religious.. I believe I can talk to him anywhere I am at.. I was taken to conventions for hours with casting out of demons and hours of prayer. For a 7 to 8 year old this was way to much. Later in my mom's years she would give all her money to the church to the point where I told the pastor she was going to be homeless because she stopped paying her house payments. His answer was she will have a place in heaven. Really!!
I saw through the church business (model) a long time ago. Not to say there aren’t some smaller congregations doing the work of the Lord. They are a rarity. From a biblical perspective: 1) are they caring for widows? 2) are they helping the sick/in-firmed 3) Feeding the homeless etc What they’re doing is feeding the business of church which is controlled by the federal govt through their tax exempt status. They are beholden to the real “powers that be.” The original church was the house church. See verses: “Where 2 or more gather in My name, I’m present. “Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves….” In addition to all of the above: I’ve heard testimony that people gain more knowledge & fulfillment in a Bible study than 10-20 yrs in church. They typically stay on the milk in these churches & get hungry for more & end up leaving worship altogether. The true gospel isn’t being taught. Just look at many of the celebrity pastors but thats an entire other long story 😊 I’m so sorry about your experience & it saddens me this is happening all to often. God bless!🕊🌿
This is just my opinion but I wonder if she makes him be around to fulfill the “helpful and amazing husband” look. I just notice how much she posts him it’s a lot 😅😂 and I think he’s become a part of her brand
@@IsabellaLanter she definitely wears the pants. What man wants to hangout at a women’s retreat all weekend. Like get your own friends and go do your own thing.
Tbh as someone who still practices certain aspects of my life spiritually. I hate Christians that claim to love Jesus and don’t want other people have access to basic human rights, etc. it makes Christianity look bad bc of those people and sometimes makes me question certain parts of it most of the time.
I plan corporate meetings and I think this was poorly planned. They should’ve filled that house to capacity and if not, they should’ve negotiated the price. That’s a standard. You never pay full price. EDIT: SHES PLANNING ANOTHER ONE FOR APRIL?! IS SHE INSANE?! THAT LOCATION SHOULD ALREADY HE SECURED!! There is no time to secure housing without losing a ton of money
Is it possible that since she recorded and posted this retreat .... that use of the location throughout as content would have gotten her a huge discount or perhaps even no cost for the location at all since it would be viewed by so many people?
oh an update! The court granted a continuance (requested by both the TXAG & bdong I believe), so now the civil trial is pushed to July. So glad you did a video on this dumb little retreat ETA: She just got foster baby 2 and this baby is Black, so lots of folks are rightfully concerned given Jordan's history of beating an unarmed Black man.
In my former work life one of my responsibilities was to plan and host a leadership retreat. We held it at a retreat center in the woods right after school started and they had no camp groups onsite- but they still had staff because they were going to shut down the camp for the fall in a few weeks (you get a good deal that way LOL.) We had three meals a day and snacks. The event was 6 days and 5 nights and I think the cost was $600. But that included a place to sleep, meals and snacks, and some swag. Yes, they had to get themselves there, but we did charter a bus from the airport to camp and we paid for that, too. If someone had to come in the night before (because some were flying internationally) we paid for their hotel rooms. BDong's event isn't even two full days. It's a scam! I wonder how much money she is making from these retreats.... we need a deep dive. LOL
It's just wild to me the way that people keep supporting such sketch as* individuals. Just scandal after scandal and they keep explaining the terrible behavior away. Makes me have no hope for humanity, honestly.
The fact that she didn’t even think someone with bad intentions could soooo easily infiltrate this and have murdered them all…😳 that would’ve been my first thought
You know what’s crazy. I lived in KS and my family was in a very strict religion called “the fellowship.” When I describe it to most people they instantly think cult. It had been a practice in my family since my great great grandparents. Literally women wernt allowed to wear pants , minimal makeup, no jewelry minus a wrist watch and a wedding ring…couldn’t color or cut your hair. Not allowed to have Christmas trees ….the list goes on. We later found out (after getting out) that there was horrible things going on with the sister and brother workers (traveling pastors) and so much corruption. It was so hard for me to have a good outlook on Jesus after that. But I did eventually come back to Him and realized all the lies. Anyways ,long story long …one how cool would it be if you did a series on corrupt churches. And two brittney Dawn makes Christians look AWFUL. She is just trying to get money… so sad
Take that $600 plus travel expense and go on a real trip. Look at some beautiful art or hike a trail or visit a cathedral. Whatever brings you happiness. This is a scam.
Key word, targeting. I have been going women’s retreats with my sisters in sobriety for the past 14+ year’s. We stay in some really nice places here in the Pacific Northwest. The cost is always kept under $150 per person for the weekend and we always have tickets that are donated for women who cannot afford to pay that amount out of their pocket for whatever reason. No questions asked. I have watched several videos on the SLF business and I still can’t get over person after person sitting in a bathtub full of water fully clothed. Makes me feel gross every time. I also swear I heard you say she had her first retreat in 2021? Of course she had her first retreat in the middle of the pandemic. 🙄
Yes! I have done many retreats in recovery. I’m currently one of the registration chairs for a retreat next month $160. And that will still make a profit of $35 pp, to go back into the account for next retreat deposit and scholarships. We have the scholarships and sponsor a newcomer tickets-I think it was 15 total out of 80 going for free. I have also done Emmaus retreats, where you get sponsored by someone who’s gone before you, I think it was like $150 for four days, and Kairos 3-day retreats, which are free/donation based Bdawn also has a donation button on her she loves fraud website that says her retreats are for trafficking victims, so she’s also taking donations on top of the $600. She’s a scammer 💯 in everything she does.
The retreat world is wild. Yoga with Kala has ones that are $9,200USD+ not including plane ticket. Yes, its advertised as luxury and she has more affordable retreats ($2,700 within US) but her audience is also Panic at the Disco fandom people....
I am in NO WAY condoning this retreat lol, NO WAY. BUTTTT As a yoga instructor, yoga retreats are double, triple, quadruple that price. Just throwing that out there
I was shopping market place for furniture and found a cute coat rack thing. I clicked on it to look at it closer and it’s from Brittany Dawn. Lol i didn’t realize how close she lived to me 😮
I feel extremely uncomfortable at the lack of diversity amount her guests. Literally, everyone is YOUNG, beautiful, and conspicuously light-skinned….. very “instagram-able”
@@heatsann4456 nah, when there’s limited spots, I’m sure it can be curated. Sounds like you’re quite the apologist, based on your other comments. Did you go? Did you get picked, sis?
Pointing out the lack of profit, I initially thought for like .02 seconds perhaps BDong actually had genuinely good intent to bring these ladies together and worship. I mean, IMHO, that's really what it should be about, right? But it's BDong we're talking about. I'd bet anything she somehow negotiated a heavily discounted rate to stay at that beautiful cabin, and free or discounted gifts. It didn't look like they had much in the way of activities to also pay for so those being the only expenses, there's no way she'd arrange anything that wouldn't fill her own pockets.
yeah looking at other comments and looking up the reddit post myself (from someone on her team) it seems like it is too good to be true. ++ she got the cabins free from a christian sponsor 🙃 so of course she was so uncharacteristically transparent about the math. it was a lie! lol
Can you pls do a video on FitFatandAllThat? She’s doing these kinds of “retreats” for people with disordered eating while having zero credentials, as a “coach”, and always goes off on people calling her out on it.
How is She Lives Free or whatever incorperated or trademarked etc? I'm curious to know if this is some kind of ploy to funnel money into her new religious organization so when she loses her court case she can have money protected from bankruptcy.
They’re paying for the stay, food, etc - sure. But they are paying also to spend time with / meet her. She is, in whatever form, a public figure. Many will agree / disagree with this. But SHE is her brand. Her brand is how she makes a living. And yes - we could argue that promoting Christianity / foster for profit is wrong. But she is bringing others closer to religion, support, community. The only thing I do agree with is that her experiences with fostering could be somewhat more private. But this is not uncommon. People blog their experiences with fostering all the time. Which also helps to promote an area in which there is desperate need. She has used social media as a platform and means of living for years. It has shifted to her current goals and priorities in life. Everyone has a career and I do think her heart is there, even if some of her content is guided to reach more individuals. Which - is necessary - to make an impact /grow a business.
Isabella did this video get posted and removed and re posted? I was halfway through watching it and wanted to come back to it but it wasn't there, now it's back? Odd ??
Of Course they trust people more who are “religious”. This are the people with morals and values. (Not all of those who claim to be Christian have that however). But I’m not convinced she’s a scammer. I do think she’s wordly and should possibly tone down the “influencer “ thing but I think there are just a lot of haters here.
Dangit I'm from OK and Broken Bow/Beaver's Bend is SUCH a beautiful area (TBH it's unlike most of the rest of OK). I'm so disappointed that this group came and desecrated it with their nastiness. Gross. I go down there sometimes to solo backpack and solo camp. I hate that there are entitled over-privileged scam-artist MLM leaders down there from time to time. Gross. Maybe I'll hike into their lot and slash their tires next time (j/k obviously, not implicating myself in any future crimes here)
You know that Britt reads every single one of these comments. And I LOVE that she does. Hey Britt 👋🏼👋🏼….what goes around comes around, and March 1st is coming around QUICKLY! Better get you lies in order.
@@gypsylee333 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
@@jasminemorales5964 hmm ok I guess it doesn't mention no women in that verse, I've definitely seen preachers say women shouldn't baptize but I know with the Bible you can always find a verse to support any argument you want to make. Not that I agree that women shouldn't be able to baptize, just have heard it often.
@@gypsylee333 women aren’t supposed to have authority over a man, like a woman should not be a church leader according to the Bible, but Jesus called all believers to serve and that does include the service of baptism ❤️ that’s definitely strange to hear that a pastor condemned that
I just watched a video of her before watching yours and I just kept thinking to myself why the heck she has a puffy winter vest on while cleaning 😂 and her "Christian talk" is just annoying and pushy making everyone else's life "unfulfilled" and "demonic " and I feel bad and disappointed that they actually are able to foster
I've organised many youth camps and retreats and it never amount to $600, even in a nice place for 3 days. And who is Brittany Dawn that people should listen to her? She's not a pastor or an author or someone who specialises in a topic that she went to Theology school for. She's not even tied to a church so there's no one who can vouch for her. People who quickly sympathise and support ANYONE who says they believe in Jesus do not have wisdom.
Feels like she’s grabbing for money to pay a fine that they’re expecting and making that image to sell to the courts of the changed woman. And those testimonies show casing how much of a great member of society she is (not saying I ageee my assumption of what they will sell) and try to prey on public opinion .
I wonder what she'll do next after the religious/spiritual scamming back fires like the fitness influencer scamming. Anyone want to take bets? 🤣 I'm betting MLM scheme
I think that it's OK to find God later in life but it's not OK to try so hard to sweep your past under the rug. I went to a church where my pastor used his past as a drug abuser and just overall not a Christian to show us that we need to be compassionate to people even if they don't believe in what we believe. This doesn't always make someone trustworthy because there are a lot of people who use the "born again Christian" title to be manipulative. It just feels like she never actually repented and, like you said, is trying to exploit people.
Yes! There has to be sincere repentance & a “turning away” etc. The jury is still out on that. I don’t think she’s in a place-> yet, to be leading young women. Staying off social media in her case would be a great start!
Yah know people go to college to study religion and be able to council people with said religion… I bet she believes she won’t be held accountable for anything because she is using religion
Ah this is the same lady who husband hit her dog and shot it instead of going to the vet to get properly euthanized and many many other problems wants to adopt a kid !!! Oh lord please dont let her
Also. It’s not a scam. People are aware of what they are paying for. Yes those who paid for the retreat are likely paying to come closer to their religion, etc, but they know they are paying for an experience that will help them to feel better about themselves and not just in terms of religion. Everyone knows this. It is glamorized religion in terms of aesthetic, style, the way all these girls dress. Which yes, I’m guilty for. That is what social media is these days. Promoting a lifestyle. And you can incorporate good like religion and foster care .. but the way it is presented (neutral style, kindness, beauty etc ....) is what draws others in. This is in almost all areas. This is reality. There is good in it but those who are paying are aware of the other aspects they are looking for in going to the retreat.
It is though. The Reddit sub has had a couple people join who attended having seen it advertised much differently than what it actually was and having omitted all mention of Brittany so people weren’t aware she’s involved until they showed up.
Uh…. You don’t have to be a pastor to baptize anyone. Every person in the body of Christ should be baptizing people Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the ag
She’s a narcissist- and narcissists will always self destruct. Always. I’ve seen it so many times. They are their own worst enemy.they will self destruct- that’s the good thing , the bad thing is it may take time and unfortunately narcissistic people usually take some innocent people down with them.
It is pretty jarring to have you pitching supplements, considering the context of this video and your channel generally. I really feel like it takes away from your message and potentially gives the “huns” ammunition for saying you are a hypocrite.

Yes!! I saw you talk about this in an IG story and I really wanted to see what it was about! 😍
I grew up in a church where it started at 9am on Sunday then it would go to 2pm. Then we would go out to eat and go back to church at 7 to 10pm. This was every Sunday then 3 to 4 hrs Wednesday night. I believe in God but not religious.. I believe I can talk to him anywhere I am at.. I was taken to conventions for hours with casting out of demons and hours of prayer. For a 7 to 8 year old this was way to much. Later in my mom's years she would give all her money to the church to the point where I told the pastor she was going to be homeless because she stopped paying her house payments. His answer was she will have a place in heaven. Really!!
I saw through the church business (model) a long time ago. Not to say there aren’t some smaller congregations doing the work of the Lord. They are a rarity. From a biblical perspective: 1) are they caring for widows? 2) are they helping the sick/in-firmed 3) Feeding the homeless etc What they’re doing is feeding the business of church which is controlled by the federal govt through their tax exempt status. They are beholden to the real “powers that be.”
The original church was the house church. See verses: “Where 2 or more gather in My name, I’m present. “Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves….”
In addition to all of the above: I’ve heard testimony that people gain more knowledge & fulfillment in a Bible study than 10-20 yrs in church. They typically stay on the milk in these churches & get hungry for more & end up leaving worship altogether. The true gospel isn’t being taught. Just look at many of the celebrity pastors but thats an entire other long story 😊
I’m so sorry about your experience & it saddens me this is happening all to often. God bless!🕊🌿
Also so odd how jordan was just lurking around there… maybe that’s just me lol
This is just my opinion but I wonder if she makes him be around to fulfill the “helpful and amazing husband” look. I just notice how much she posts him it’s a lot 😅😂 and I think he’s become a part of her brand
@@IsabellaLanter she definitely wears the pants. What man wants to hangout at a women’s retreat all weekend. Like get your own friends and go do your own thing.
She has also said he’s for “security” as well because of all the threats she gets online.
Hello Isabella! Fellow Kansan here!
You should do a video on meri brown from sister wives. She is with lularoe and i heard she’s doing a 3 day retreat for $6000!!!
Dead on with the strategic exhaustion I too have experienced this in “cults” that claim to be a church
Tbh as someone who still practices certain aspects of my life spiritually. I hate Christians that claim to love Jesus and don’t want other people have access to basic human rights, etc. it makes Christianity look bad bc of those people and sometimes makes me question certain parts of it most of the time.
I plan corporate meetings and I think this was poorly planned. They should’ve filled that house to capacity and if not, they should’ve negotiated the price. That’s a standard. You never pay full price.
EDIT: SHES PLANNING ANOTHER ONE FOR APRIL?! IS SHE INSANE?! THAT LOCATION SHOULD ALREADY HE SECURED!! There is no time to secure housing without losing a ton of money
SCREAMING IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDDDD.
Is it possible that since she recorded and posted this retreat .... that use of the location throughout as content would have gotten her a huge discount or perhaps even no cost for the location at all since it would be viewed by so many people?
This makes a lot of sense! Possible maybe she knows the owners or something to also get a discount.
oh an update! The court granted a continuance (requested by both the TXAG & bdong I believe), so now the civil trial is pushed to July. So glad you did a video on this dumb little retreat
ETA: She just got foster baby 2 and this baby is Black, so lots of folks are rightfully concerned given Jordan's history of beating an unarmed Black man.
In my former work life one of my responsibilities was to plan and host a leadership retreat. We held it at a retreat center in the woods right after school started and they had no camp groups onsite- but they still had staff because they were going to shut down the camp for the fall in a few weeks (you get a good deal that way LOL.) We had three meals a day and snacks. The event was 6 days and 5 nights and I think the cost was $600. But that included a place to sleep, meals and snacks, and some swag. Yes, they had to get themselves there, but we did charter a bus from the airport to camp and we paid for that, too. If someone had to come in the night before (because some were flying internationally) we paid for their hotel rooms. BDong's event isn't even two full days. It's a scam! I wonder how much money she is making from these retreats.... we need a deep dive. LOL
Girl you should cover passion conference, lots of juicy info online about it
Wait, the event on austin! I went out in that area and there was soooooo much traffic. Also I got just so many dirty looks while minding my business
It's just wild to me the way that people keep supporting such sketch as* individuals. Just scandal after scandal and they keep explaining the terrible behavior away. Makes me have no hope for humanity, honestly.
I'm in Kansas and we never have anything fun here. I would love an event to come but one that's not full of lies
The fact that she didn’t even think someone with bad intentions could soooo easily infiltrate this and have murdered them all…😳 that would’ve been my first thought
Bb, you are watching too much true crime
You know what’s crazy. I lived in KS and my family was in a very strict religion called “the fellowship.” When I describe it to most people they instantly think cult. It had been a practice in my family since my great great grandparents. Literally women wernt allowed to wear pants , minimal makeup, no jewelry minus a wrist watch and a wedding ring…couldn’t color or cut your hair. Not allowed to have Christmas trees ….the list goes on. We later found out (after getting out) that there was horrible things going on with the sister and brother workers (traveling pastors) and so much corruption.
It was so hard for me to have a good outlook on Jesus after that. But I did eventually come back to Him and realized all the lies.
Anyways ,long story long …one how cool would it be if you did a series on corrupt churches. And two brittney Dawn makes Christians look AWFUL. She is just trying to get money… so sad
The fact people like Brittany are allowed to adopt and foster while perfectly capable and loving people are denied on the REGULAR baffles me
Take that $600 plus travel expense and go on a real trip. Look at some beautiful art or hike a trail or visit a cathedral. Whatever brings you happiness. This is a scam.
Key word, targeting.
I have been going women’s retreats with my sisters in sobriety for the past 14+ year’s. We stay in some really nice places here in the Pacific Northwest. The cost is always kept under $150 per person for the weekend and we always have tickets that are donated for women who cannot afford to pay that amount out of their pocket for whatever reason. No questions asked.
I have watched several videos on the SLF business and I still can’t get over person after person sitting in a bathtub full of water fully clothed. Makes me feel gross every time. I also swear I heard you say she had her first retreat in 2021? Of course she had her first retreat in the middle of the pandemic. 🙄
Yes! I have done many retreats in recovery. I’m currently one of the registration chairs for a retreat next month $160. And that will still make a profit of $35 pp, to go back into the account for next retreat deposit and scholarships. We have the scholarships and sponsor a newcomer tickets-I think it was 15 total out of 80 going for free. I have also done Emmaus retreats, where you get sponsored by someone who’s gone before you, I think it was like $150 for four days, and Kairos 3-day retreats, which are free/donation based
Bdawn also has a donation button on her she loves fraud website that says her retreats are for trafficking victims, so she’s also taking donations on top of the $600. She’s a scammer 💯 in everything she does.
And the bathtub baptisms are absolutely nasty
❤🎉❤ great job sis
This was interesting! Have a great weekend, all!
The retreat world is wild. Yoga with Kala has ones that are $9,200USD+ not including plane ticket. Yes, its advertised as luxury and she has more affordable retreats ($2,700 within US) but her audience is also Panic at the Disco fandom people....
I am in NO WAY condoning this retreat lol, NO WAY. BUTTTT As a yoga instructor, yoga retreats are double, triple, quadruple that price. Just throwing that out there
I was shopping market place for furniture and found a cute coat rack thing. I clicked on it to look at it closer and it’s from Brittany Dawn. Lol i didn’t realize how close she lived to me 😮
Omg 😂😂 really? Small world
@@IsabellaLanter yeah and no way am I buying anything from that scammy lady. I’m not gonna help with her attorney fund 😆
@@RoseWater20 LMFAOOOOOO 😂😂😂 that’s hilarious yes
Sometimes Spiritual retreats have you sleep less. It's not uncommon.
I feel extremely uncomfortable at the lack of diversity amount her guests. Literally, everyone is YOUNG, beautiful, and conspicuously light-skinned….. very “instagram-able”
Everyone is welcome . Maybe those who chose not to go felt insecure .
@@heatsann4456 nah, when there’s limited spots, I’m sure it can be curated. Sounds like you’re quite the apologist, based on your other comments. Did you go? Did you get picked, sis?
Pointing out the lack of profit, I initially thought for like .02 seconds perhaps BDong actually had genuinely good intent to bring these ladies together and worship. I mean, IMHO, that's really what it should be about, right?
But it's BDong we're talking about. I'd bet anything she somehow negotiated a heavily discounted rate to stay at that beautiful cabin, and free or discounted gifts. It didn't look like they had much in the way of activities to also pay for so those being the only expenses, there's no way she'd arrange anything that wouldn't fill her own pockets.
yeah looking at other comments and looking up the reddit post myself (from someone on her team) it seems like it is too good to be true. ++ she got the cabins free from a christian sponsor 🙃 so of course she was so uncharacteristically transparent about the math. it was a lie! lol
Can you pls do a video on FitFatandAllThat? She’s doing these kinds of “retreats” for people with disordered eating while having zero credentials, as a “coach”, and always goes off on people calling her out on it.
I find it highly ironic that the name of her retreat is called "she lives free" when she's living free on her members money.
How is She Lives Free or whatever incorperated or trademarked etc? I'm curious to know if this is some kind of ploy to funnel money into her new religious organization so when she loses her court case she can have money protected from bankruptcy.
Yay new video! Perfect subject to watch while i build a bridge out of popsicle sticks
They’re paying for the stay, food, etc - sure. But they are paying also to spend time with / meet her. She is, in whatever form, a public figure. Many will agree / disagree with this. But SHE is her brand. Her brand is how she makes a living. And yes - we could argue that promoting Christianity / foster for profit is wrong. But she is bringing others closer to religion, support, community. The only thing I do agree with is that her experiences with fostering could be somewhat more private. But this is not uncommon. People blog their experiences with fostering all the time. Which also helps to promote an area in which there is desperate need. She has used social media as a platform and means of living for years. It has shifted to her current goals and priorities in life. Everyone has a career and I do think her heart is there, even if some of her content is guided to reach more individuals. Which - is necessary - to make an impact /grow a business.
I was genuinely hoping not all is lost to be able to find this comment in here ❤️
Isabella did this video get posted and removed and re posted? I was halfway through watching it and wanted to come back to it but it wasn't there, now it's back? Odd ??
yeah it disappeared last night? we were hoping isabella took it down to edit it and it wasn’t flagged by brittany or something 🙄😬
@@infoskrimp420 omg thank you!! I'm not going mad x I hope it wasn't flagged too
Of Course they trust people more who are “religious”. This are the people with morals and values. (Not all of those who claim to be Christian have that however). But I’m not convinced she’s a scammer. I do think she’s wordly and should possibly tone down the “influencer “ thing but I think there are just a lot of haters here.
Scammers are scammers
Dangit I'm from OK and Broken Bow/Beaver's Bend is SUCH a beautiful area (TBH it's unlike most of the rest of OK). I'm so disappointed that this group came and desecrated it with their nastiness. Gross. I go down there sometimes to solo backpack and solo camp. I hate that there are entitled over-privileged scam-artist MLM leaders down there from time to time. Gross. Maybe I'll hike into their lot and slash their tires next time (j/k obviously, not implicating myself in any future crimes here)
Plot Twist: either she or her family own it
I'd like to know why they're all wearing the same outfit lol
Wearing white clothes is symbolic in the Bible ❤
well, well, here we go again
I hope she loses the court case
If you are no longer a Christian you never had true faith... Js.. that's not how it works. Someone did you wrong or you got impatient with Jesus.
This is such a legalistic view
If you weren't there, you're just gossiping. Oh your opinions are so factual! Wow!! Way to get views!
You really think you're above her it's crazy
Unfortunately the people who follow her have no discernment. She follows the blueprint of what a false teacher is in the Bible.
I usually just listen to the videos that you post but I looked over at the screen and is she baptizing them? What is going on?
Jesus gave all believers authority to baptize people according to the Bible ❤
You know that Britt reads every single one of these comments. And I LOVE that she does. Hey Britt 👋🏼👋🏼….what goes around comes around, and March 1st is coming around QUICKLY! Better get you lies in order.
She's baptizing people? I thought women weren't allowed to baptize in that silly cult.
Bible says differently.
Every believer in Jesus should baptize ❤
@@jasminemorales5964 what verse?
@@gypsylee333 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
@@jasminemorales5964 hmm ok I guess it doesn't mention no women in that verse, I've definitely seen preachers say women shouldn't baptize but I know with the Bible you can always find a verse to support any argument you want to make. Not that I agree that women shouldn't be able to baptize, just have heard it often.
@@gypsylee333 women aren’t supposed to have authority over a man, like a woman should not be a church leader according to the Bible, but Jesus called all believers to serve and that does include the service of baptism ❤️ that’s definitely strange to hear that a pastor condemned that
I just watched a video of her before watching yours and I just kept thinking to myself why the heck she has a puffy winter vest on while cleaning 😂 and her "Christian talk" is just annoying and pushy making everyone else's life "unfulfilled" and "demonic " and I feel bad and disappointed that they actually are able to foster
I've organised many youth camps and retreats and it never amount to $600, even in a nice place for 3 days. And who is Brittany Dawn that people should listen to her? She's not a pastor or an author or someone who specialises in a topic that she went to Theology school for. She's not even tied to a church so there's no one who can vouch for her. People who quickly sympathise and support ANYONE who says they believe in Jesus do not have wisdom.
Wait!!! U live in Kansas???? Did I hear that correct??? I'm in Wichita ❤️❤️
I will try this.
Feels like she’s grabbing for money to pay a fine that they’re expecting and making that image to sell to the courts of the changed woman. And those testimonies show casing how much of a great member of society she is (not saying I ageee my assumption of what they will sell) and try to prey on public opinion .
I wonder what she'll do next after the religious/spiritual scamming back fires like the fitness influencer scamming. Anyone want to take bets? 🤣 I'm betting MLM scheme
These retreats are getting problematic. Jessie lee and brit dawn..
I think that it's OK to find God later in life but it's not OK to try so hard to sweep your past under the rug. I went to a church where my pastor used his past as a drug abuser and just overall not a Christian to show us that we need to be compassionate to people even if they don't believe in what we believe.
This doesn't always make someone trustworthy because there are a lot of people who use the "born again Christian" title to be manipulative. It just feels like she never actually repented and, like you said, is trying to exploit people.
Even if she was a scammer. You don’t think that God can heal that and change her for the better?
Nope
Yes! There has to be sincere repentance & a “turning away” etc. The jury is still out on that. I don’t think she’s in a place-> yet, to be leading young women. Staying off social media in her case would be a great start!
She is trying to sue reddit users and youtubers?!
She can go right tf ahead she truly cannot win a case where people are following the law and making commentary content properly lollll
The retreats may be to cover her legal fees.
Yah know people go to college to study religion and be able to council people with said religion… I bet she believes she won’t be held accountable for anything because she is using religion
Ah this is the same lady who husband hit her dog and shot it instead of going to the vet to get properly euthanized and many many other problems wants to adopt a kid !!! Oh lord please dont let her
You rock for shining the light on this dimwit tiktok addict!
Also. It’s not a scam. People are aware of what they are paying for. Yes those who paid for the retreat are likely paying to come closer to their religion, etc, but they know they are paying for an experience that will help them to feel better about themselves and not just in terms of religion. Everyone knows this. It is glamorized religion in terms of aesthetic, style, the way all these girls dress. Which yes, I’m guilty for. That is what social media is these days. Promoting a lifestyle. And you can incorporate good like religion and foster care .. but the way it is presented (neutral style, kindness, beauty etc ....) is what draws others in. This is in almost all areas. This is reality. There is good in it but those who are paying are aware of the other aspects they are looking for in going to the retreat.
It is though. The Reddit sub has had a couple people join who attended having seen it advertised much differently than what it actually was and having omitted all mention of Brittany so people weren’t aware she’s involved until they showed up.
@@meggie11102 you trust Reddit users? 😂
Is she a pastor? She's preforming baptisms? I'm pretty sure the church frowns upon random people who are not pastor's performing baptisms.
And she's a wamen and we know how the church feels about wamen 🙄
Uh…. You don’t have to be a pastor to baptize anyone. Every person in the body of Christ should be baptizing people
Matthew 28:16-20
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the ag
@@gypsylee333 that's what happens if you base your whole personality in politics making you cringe 😂😂😂😂
There is a hilarious CAH type Christian called A Game for Good Christians. The choice of millennial and gen z seminarians all over.
Waittt is she baptizing people
It’s part of the great commission in the Bible❤
She’s a narcissist- and narcissists will always self destruct. Always. I’ve seen it so many times. They are their own worst enemy.they will self destruct- that’s the good thing , the bad thing is it may take time and unfortunately narcissistic people usually take some innocent people down with them.
🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝
Girl is that wardrobe behind you a tribute to Brittany lol?? The lack of anything other than earth tone is..well very brittan-y lol
1500th like
❤
We need to connect woman to EACH OTHER not a false power
Offer her grace and forgiveness.
No
No way!
😁✌
It is pretty jarring to have you pitching supplements, considering the context of this video and your channel generally. I really feel like it takes away from your message and potentially gives the “huns” ammunition for saying you are a hypocrite.
What do you know about worshipping God? You made an entire video about someone else just to gossip about them. Sorry seems biased
600 to get saved in a retreat..I can get saved anywhere in the crewl.foe free.
