I will never understand how these people can claim to be "in the Word" and taking their faith seriously when Jesus literally said, "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others" and they're over here filming themselves praying for tens of thousands of people to watch.
@Theantinarc because you've been brainwashed to believe it's from God and that you'll go to hell if you stop believing that. Source: me, I did it for thirty years
I think its due to their mentality or belief system being extremely performative. American Christianity as it is today is from the Protestant movement but even then its very disconnected from its own roots since the early Protestants were more ritualistic and traditionally private than the ones today in america since its all for show and profit. American Christianity though is too general, there are specific groups within not tied to these types of groups, like Orthodox Christians which do not behave this way and actually condemn or speak against it, since they believe it’s a lived faith rather than something you use to one up other people who dont belong to your belief system
I feel like I physically lost brain cells listening to that beach conversation. Like I can hear my brain sloshing around in the extra space that conversation created in my skull
The way Ashley and Ally talk about Christianity and having trust in god reminds me a lot of how people talk about the Law of Attraction. Law of Attraction is all about trusting the process and wanting it but not wanting it too much because then you aren't trusting the process enough. Then if it doesn't work and you don't get what you want you're told you didn't do it right and not that the Law of Attraction just isn't real.
These women are New Apostolic Reformation, which heavily promotes the Law of Attraction as a Christian concept. New Apostolic Reformation uses a lot of New Age concepts mixed with Christianity, which is why a lot of younger people are getting into it.
Yep, Law of assumption / attraction drove me nuts and not enough people talk about it, it made me obsess over my thoughts yet I was always told I just wasn't "doing it right." Kinda like people that have to conform to a religion.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that, they were praying together by the same bed! It does not necessarily mean anything even if they do sleep together but the vibe is there during the intro.
This entire show just sounds like two American white women with very little adversity in their lives saying lines that they think show what good christians they are. At times a little bit of what they worry about peeks through, but most of it just comes off as saying what they want to be real rather than what their reality actually is. That's an impression I get from a lot of christian influencers, not just from this reality show, but here it's even more clear.
Yeah it’s pretty severe cope more often than not (can attest as a pastors kid and former Christian myself). Part of saying it will all be ok “because God” is trying to convince yourself. There were moments you could tell they almost wanted to critique the structure (only God can give me a husband and I feel old yet he brought me to LA where it’s hard to date etc) but just cut themselves off with a shrug like “nothing we can do about it I guess.” I don’t miss that helplessness!
Hearing them talk about "The Enemy" is so wild, as someone separate from that whole culture, grown adults talking about the boogeyman and acting like it's real and is making them eat ice cream, it's so bonkers
@@chibbersthesquirrel6189 when you're in it you don't realize how effing crazy it sounds. But when you get out and deprogram, then go back and visit, you really start to realize that these people live on a different planet
Honestly it’s no wonder conspiracy theories flourish so well in the US, since a large part of Christian dogma is basically just a massive conspiracy theory about some spooky bad man trying to make you think naughty thoughts
@@chibbersthesquirrel6189 yeah I grew up in a Christian family but I still can't really fully comprehend how someone can believe all that. It never made sense to me or felt real. It seems like a crazy way to live believing that there's all these invisible beings effecting your life
i appreciate you guys consistently clocking their overuse of black and queer slang because aside from it being irritating its such an appropriative thing to do when both communities have been negatively affected by the kind of christianity they promote
What Ally said about how the world doesn't have "surrendering" and we all have anxiety is so ridiculous. I had so much anxiety around my faith, whether I was reading the Bible enough, praying enough, whether I was enjoying my hobbies and interests more than I enjoyed praying, whether God was going to do this or that for me or if I needed to give up on what I wanted because God's "calling" was different for me, etc. I actually feel more surrendered and at peace as an ex-Christian, believing there is no mechanism like prayer by which I can even attempt to exert control on my surroundings. I've accepted that bad things happen, that there are answers I will never receive, that I am not in control and there is nobody I can pray to who is. I'd say it's Christians who don't surrender because prayer is by its very nature an appeal to a higher being who controls things to ask it control those things in the way you would like it to. You may accept that the answer is no, but at the same time you're still expecting that someday you will have answers, someday things will work out for your good even if that's not right now. Christianity is by its very nature a refusal to believe that there may not be a happy ending. I mean, you can't tell me that coming to terms with the reality that there may not be a happy ending and that there may not be anybody out there looking out for you isn't "surrender." It absolutely is. EDIT: I wrote out this comment before Ashley's little add-on about trusting God to give them what they want and oh my god it doesn't sound virtuous and faithful, it sounds like ENTITLEMENT. They sound like spoiled brats who want to be pampered princesses without putting any work in. That's how they come off. I also want to point out that as a Bible college graduate in my late thirties, I've seen MANY young women ascribe to this "I'll wait for the Lord to deliver me a husband" and end up perennially single.
It has destroyed my OCD I'm telling you. Even to this DAY, if something bad happens to me after not praying, I feel like it's MY fault for not praying in order to prevent that thing from happening to me (OCD thinking) even though nothing exactly good happened after praying or nothing bad happened to me during days where I didn't pray either, like life went on as normally and I had just got unlucky during that ONE specific day where I didn't pray.
I really think these two girls like being single. But church frowns on single woman so they have to repeat the rhetoric of “ waiting on God for a spouse”.
If they want to go thru life as platonic life partners, no one but their conservative Christian values is stopping them...(also, they can hire a handyman or cleaning service to help them with the household things they don't want to do; though I'm not sure how long that would last without ending up like The Help.)
This honestly sickens me. Jesus: "Take up the heaviest burden you can manage. Serve your neighbor. Take care of the poor, widow, and fatherless. Turn away from material gain." These girls: "I want my goddaddy to give me a man servant because carrying my beach bag is sooo hard." Come on, these are worldly people using Jesus's name like a status badge.
There was a phase in my life where I desperately wanted a husband. I don't think lifting heavy things made the top ten reasons. What a backhanded way of saying men aren't bringing much to the table.
@@MM_MTea but they're, like, able to bring the actual table for our weak girl arms I'm just gonna say wait until you have a baby, you'll be lifting that thing constantly
Their conversation on the beach was torturous. “lol we’re so crazy for literally doing nothing and expecting to be married soon” but YOU ARE ACTUALLY CRAZY holy shit
Listening to the "husbands/fathers are for carrying things" reminded me of how my dad always encouraged my sister and I to help carry camping gear on our family trips. One, because we were a family of 4, 3 of which were female; my dad couldn't realistically carry all the things for all of us. Two, because we needed to learn to do things for ourselves! (Three, my mom also set the example of someone who doesn't sit back and wait for a man to do something *for* her) I know they're just chitchatting but like... ladies. It's great to have help from a life partner. But doing for yourself is great too! Being an adult who can take care of your own responsibilities is so great! And most other responsible adults find that attractive too!
Such phoniness… just showing off their coffee machine, meals, clothes, day at the beach and the beautiful house they don’t have to pay for? They don’t have jobs, do they? Just privileged influencers… unreal 🤢
We had to write a skit in my middle school spanish class. I was paired up with a girl that didnt like me.. our 5min skit in our non-native language was more natural than their "reality show" 💀
Probably not, young single men are being drawn into "trad churches" and see this type of Christianity as fake and devilish. While women are getting drawn into the type of overly emotional Christianity these women adhere to and call the "trad churches" dead.
@@imjustthisgirlok I mean it's very blatantly the result of an entire culture systematically grooming them to want to be submissive breeders. It's very creepy.
There are certainly things other than outward attractiveness that have to fall in line for someone to have relationships. Honestly, it doesn't surprise me in the least that these two aren't there yet. I don't know any man that would want to deal with the personality they are projecting. Maybe they're different away from the camera, but all I got from the video was vapid entitlement. Not attractive at all.
47:42 these women are in their late 20s and this clueless? Where do they have money to live in LA with apparently no sign of a job? Are they making enough as Christian influencers online? LA is frigging expensive!
I’m deconstructing and it’s really wild to notice the holes in what they’re saying “it’s really great that we get to have the privilege to not worry anymore and give it to god” “where’s my husband god” “I do get concerned about it” it’s like if you trust someone with something you don’t have to worry about it because you are secure in knowing they’ll take care of it you don’t have to keep telling reinforcing words to yourself you just trust them to take care of it and if they don’t then you react or respond to that 😅 if you keep having to remind yourself you trust in someone (unless you have a memory disorder which if so no shame) Do you really trust them?? 😩
@@RambleMaven or like saying God is going to make her able to play guitar. No one in the history of ever has just been able to play guitar as soon as they pick it up. It takes time to build up the muscle memory and music theory knowledge and all that. Whenever a Christian calls something a miracle it's always something that is not very impressive or would have happened anyway thru natural means. It's like that saying- "with faith you can move mountains" but I never seen anybody move a damn mountain. People could potentially move a mountain with a ton of work and heavy machinery maybe. But they're not going to work for it, they'll just trust that the mountain is going to move itself and until they die waiting for it to start moving
They took the "not by works alone" part to mean "you don't have to do any work." I think the most honest part was where the one girl was basically almost talking about her fears that god isn't there but she can't do that on camera with all the impressionable eleven year olds watching. Congratulations on deconstructing, it is such a freeing experience.
In a strange way the music and bad religious convo was nostalgic. It reminded me of my brother and I making the long drive through the rural midwest to our grandparents... I'd torment him with the worst radio stations I could find, and that almost always meant stuff kinda like this 😅
I don’t really understand. Shouldn’t they be doing charitable work? Feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, etc. instead they are leading a self indulgent, consumerist life. What does that have to do with Christ?
Why would anyone want to date these two? All they really talk about is finding someone who will do all the work so they can just not put any effort into anything.
Thanks for showing this. It reminds me how Christianity can teach learned helplessness. I used to be in their boots. I hope the best for them. When I was a teen in Sunday School at this evangelical free church, they played a reality show that was produced like Survivor on an island. It gathered teens of all faiths, but its goal was to convince them of Christianity. It was several episodes... I wonder if y'all could find it? It's gotta be around 2007ish?
When Drew said he draws the line at calling church a kiki 😂 But yeah, Ally's baby voice and them using those slang words is pretty annoying. lol I'd still love for y'all to do more episodes though!
I feel bad saying this because they are not actors by trade... but they *are* trying to act and it shows they are not actors by trade. I don't mean to shade them for it but they are functionally putting on a performance when they're not great at the given medium.
I’m at an entire loss for words watching this “show” 😮 Like, what the hell am I watching!? I already don’t care for reality TV but this is far beyond that and feels SOOO meaningless. 🤦🏻♂️
What’s amazing about this is just how much time they spend neurotically validating each other about how free from neuroticism and uncertainty while also being deeply uncertain and unsteady about their lives that apparently seem relatively cushy and trouble-free. The delusional lack of self examination here is absolutely wild.
I am not a Christian but i went to a Catholic school so I was interested in the content and the way i cringe when they said God is a girl Dad. I mean what does that even mean. Also FYI Ally and Ashley had only known each other only since September of 2023 😂
sadly, it’s mainly because those two places became media hubs. even youtubers/influencers who don’t live in those two places have to go there occasionally for opportunities. they have usually the studios, company headquarters, and the manpower to do some of the things required for media collaboration. you technically can be an influencer without living there, but being there means less traveling for opportunities. it also means you may not be considered for jobs because of the fact you have to travel/fly out to get there. it’s all about business in media hubs, especially getting things done as fast as possible.
Re: What's appealing about reality TV. Maybe it's just the crowds I tend to hang with, but my first thought was less "This isn't appealing because it isn't aspirational" and more "this isn't appealing because where's the drama/conflict/etc.?" Like, when I think reality TV, I think less about the Kardashians and more about Survivor, Love Is Blind, Family Swap (or whatever it was called), and so on, where the stars _are_ supposed to be regular people, but they're being pitted against each other and/or against their environment in some way. And even with the Kardashians, I always got the impression that at least half the appeal for a lot of folks was that there always seems to be at least two members of the family getting into _some_ sort of drama with each other. Now, that's also part of why I often feel a bit gross about watching reality TV, as well, but at the same time, that's what I've seen so many people (very much including myself) get sucked in by more so than just, "Ooh, rich people!" In fact, if a show was just rich people being rich, I would have absolutely zero interest, and it would be just as boring as non-rich people sitting around and being non-rich.
Bruh😂✋🏾 I got lost at the " I'm going on a Holy girl walk" from Ashley's social media. I just found it odd I guess. It seems like a facade. I genuinely can't stand Christian influencers even though I'm Christian because it seems so performative. I'm TRYING not to be so judgemental💀 I'm STRUGGLING
The ladies missed a perfect opportunity to say she's made 'chord progression' in learning guitar. I mean, if cheesy is the vibe, be all the way mozzarella. Jokes aside, I don't think I could watch this show unironically. Very much reminds me of the performative relationships necessary to fit in at church and in church culture. Speaking from own experience, no h8. ✌️
When I saw the announcements for the reality show, I was so excited but ONLY for the purposes of knowing The Antibot would 1000% be doing a review on it lol
I'm so glad you two are watching this because I wouldn't be able to. I try to remember that these women are victims of the system but them having deep conversations about nothing and twisting it around has me losing my mind! When I was a Christian I would have found this offensive 😭
Picking up heavy things and putting them down is actually healthy if done with proper form. I'm not suggesting they need to do all the time, but a few times a week would do some good. And no, it doesn't even have to be gym equipment.
This is some of the cringiest, most insane stuff I've ever seen in my life. Like, who's watching that? Who's watching Christian Kardashians? As if the normal Kardashians aren't boring enough, here's the Christian version with people you've never heard of.
Over the past few days I have watched videos you guys posted 10 months ago a year ago three weeks ago and now I'm an hour after the upload I've finally caught up!!!!!
29:10 He's engagement baiting. Chances are he already has a girl and just uses the "I'm so lonely" gimmick to get women, both attractive and un, to interact with his page.
I'm so mad because she said "We're raw dogging this" and I was thinking that from when she first said "raw" but when she actually said it my jaw dropped.. 😂😂😂😂
The way they seem to be misappropriating queer/ black language like "moment" and "period" and "imma keep it a buck" I find irksome. Maybe they aren't aware, but it's still a bit annoying and they already have their white Christian speak to use like "in the world" and calling god "dad"
Oh they’re aware of the Brown and black and queer tiktokers that are using this language online. As a 29 year old who frequently is around girls like them, they know! I made a similar comment as well.
Ashley seems to be struggling with anxiety about not knowing what her future holds, but at the same time renders herself completely helpless to be proactive about anything she really WANTS.
The sheer amount of unacknowledged privilege embodied in the statement of l “Not doing anything because the lord will provide for me” is mind boggling….
"I feel, like, I actually have a desire to pick up my guitar." 😑 But that wouldn't be leaving it in god's hands! Don't you trust daddy god to make you able to play the guitar if that's what he has planned for you?
I think the reason they’re so basic is that they’re trying to be normal outside the Evangelical stuff. “Look, we eat avocado toast and drink pumpkin spice lattes! We’re not in a cult! Is that something someone in a cult would do? I don’t think so!” After all, for them this is missionary work and convincing their young viewers that living like that is normal is a big part of that. The dullness is the mission.
That makes sense actually. A lot of cults/MLMs/etc *crave* any form of legitimacy they can get. By being so banal, it’s saying something like “Hey don’t worry! We’re not wierd or controlling or anything!”. They only want to roll out the manipulation once you’re in.
It's so weird that they say all of these things like they're earth-breaking, when you could go to any of the fifty churches on any given Texas street and hear the same exact stuff. It's so boring.
I've been out of the fold for so long, I am genuinely curious. Is this amount of God/Jesus talk normal? Or is it just because this is curated? At face value, it seems like extreme hypervigilence and obsession. Do they talk about anything else? I feel like a God would want us to live and enjoy life. I'm sad if this is an accurate depiction of their daily life.
Remember when the Monat girlies made their own "reality" show? I can safely say I'd rather watch that mess for 2 hours than 22 minutes of Jesus Freaks.
Right, also it seems like there's a lack of awareness of people who materially struggle more than them or who are discriminated against. With a name like "Jesus Freaks", it seems they should be counter-cultural in some way, or reaching out to people who are left out by the wealthy side of LA.

@@cindysavage265exactly! 💯
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE TWO HUMANS!
I love your profile pic!
Hail satan 🤘@@theantibot
We had to write a skit in my middle school spanish class. I was paired up with a girl that didnt like me.. our 5min skit in our non-native language was more natural than their "reality show" 💀
😂🤣👍
Are there seriously any men who see this and think “THATS the girl I want to marry!” ??
Sadly - probably yes.
@@rationalhuman2149 that's what these girls are hoping for at least. It's very cringe
Plenty of dudes would be happy with just a pretty trophy, unfortunately
Probably not, young single men are being drawn into "trad churches" and see this type of Christianity as fake and devilish. While women are getting drawn into the type of overly emotional Christianity these women adhere to and call the "trad churches" dead.
My advice to any man is to run!
There's something sinister about 2 conventionally attractive women repeatedly bemoan their lack of a spouse
@@imjustthisgirlok I mean it's very blatantly the result of an entire culture systematically grooming them to want to be submissive breeders. It's very creepy.
sinister??
There are certainly things other than outward attractiveness that have to fall in line for someone to have relationships.
Honestly, it doesn't surprise me in the least that these two aren't there yet. I don't know any man that would want to deal with the personality they are projecting. Maybe they're different away from the camera, but all I got from the video was vapid entitlement.
Not attractive at all.
This is exactly pretty much the "Californians" skit on SNL,, except for Jesus lol
@@garycoates4987 "TREH? WHADDARYOUDOINERE??!"
This is truly one of the most boring things I have ever seen. I couldn’t have gotten through it without you guys
I think they misunderstand what people like about reality tv...
47:42 these women are in their late 20s and this clueless?
Where do they have money to live in LA with apparently no sign of a job? Are they making enough as Christian influencers online? LA is frigging expensive!
I’m deconstructing and it’s really wild to notice the holes in what they’re saying “it’s really great that we get to have the privilege to not worry anymore and give it to god” “where’s my husband god” “I do get concerned about it” it’s like if you trust someone with something you don’t have to worry about it because you are secure in knowing they’ll take care of it you don’t have to keep telling reinforcing words to yourself you just trust them to take care of it and if they don’t then you react or respond to that 😅 if you keep having to remind yourself you trust in someone (unless you have a memory disorder which if so no shame) Do you really trust them?? 😩
@@RambleMaven or like saying God is going to make her able to play guitar. No one in the history of ever has just been able to play guitar as soon as they pick it up. It takes time to build up the muscle memory and music theory knowledge and all that.
Whenever a Christian calls something a miracle it's always something that is not very impressive or would have happened anyway thru natural means.
It's like that saying- "with faith you can move mountains" but I never seen anybody move a damn mountain. People could potentially move a mountain with a ton of work and heavy machinery maybe. But they're not going to work for it, they'll just trust that the mountain is going to move itself and until they die waiting for it to start moving
They took the "not by works alone" part to mean "you don't have to do any work." I think the most honest part was where the one girl was basically almost talking about her fears that god isn't there but she can't do that on camera with all the impressionable eleven year olds watching. Congratulations on deconstructing, it is such a freeing experience.
“Im finna be still” actually killed me. Had to go play it out of context to my partner
Was literally thinking about you making a video on this last night. Probably not divine timing but I'm still here for it lol 😂
Do you suppose either of these Christian lifestylers will post an episode where they volunteer to help those affected by the fire disaster?
Right, when I saw the PCH signs I automatically thought of the fires, although I'm sure they recorded this over a year ago.
Since when without the camera 🤳🤳🤳
In a strange way the music and bad religious convo was nostalgic.
It reminded me of my brother and I making the long drive through the rural midwest to our grandparents... I'd torment him with the worst radio stations I could find, and that almost always meant stuff kinda like this 😅
Will these ladies just get a room already?
@@sabineottala3588 they did and they're forcing us to watch all the boring conversations they have in it
They wouldn't know how, so they are subjecting us to their failure to understand instead.
The way they talk about God finding them husbands makes it sound like they have no choice or free will.
I don’t really understand. Shouldn’t they be doing charitable work? Feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, etc. instead they are leading a self indulgent, consumerist life. What does that have to do with Christ?
Why would anyone want to date these two? All they really talk about is finding someone who will do all the work so they can just not put any effort into anything.
@@geislar7682 right? They sounded lazy and spoiled.
The first time someone tried to have the most basic theological conversation with either of them, their heads would implode.
Honestly, I can't think of a better cover for someone deep in the closet.
Not saying either of them are, just that it would be a great cover.
Thanks for showing this. It reminds me how Christianity can teach learned helplessness. I used to be in their boots. I hope the best for them.
When I was a teen in Sunday School at this evangelical free church, they played a reality show that was produced like Survivor on an island. It gathered teens of all faiths, but its goal was to convince them of Christianity. It was several episodes... I wonder if y'all could find it? It's gotta be around 2007ish?
That sounds insane! 🫨🫣🙃
Thank you guys for making real and authentic content regarding the church, it really makes a big impact!
When Drew said he draws the line at calling church a kiki 😂
But yeah, Ally's baby voice and them using those slang words is pretty annoying. lol I'd still love for y'all to do more episodes though!
I SCREAMED and she didn’t know what it was and he was explaining it 💀
I feel bad saying this because they are not actors by trade... but they *are* trying to act and it shows they are not actors by trade. I don't mean to shade them for it but they are functionally putting on a performance when they're not great at the given medium.
im not even gonna lie theyre kind of hilarious. if they werent christian girlies…it seems camp. if they were joking this would be SNL
I’m at an entire loss for words watching this “show” 😮 Like, what the hell am I watching!? I already don’t care for reality TV but this is far beyond that and feels SOOO meaningless. 🤦🏻♂️
37:30 this whole conversation just sounds like two surfer bros high out of their minds having “deep thoughts” 😂
Okay, I’m sorry but I get major lesbian vibes from these girls. ……plot twist
“Bro, that (seeing Simon cowell on a bike) was god’s grace”
KILL ME I DON’T WANNA SHARE THIS REALITY WITH THEM
What’s amazing about this is just how much time they spend neurotically validating each other about how free from neuroticism and uncertainty while also being deeply uncertain and unsteady about their lives that apparently seem relatively cushy and trouble-free. The delusional lack of self examination here is absolutely wild.
I am not a Christian but i went to a Catholic school so I was interested in the content and the way i cringe when they said God is a girl Dad. I mean what does that even mean.
Also FYI Ally and Ashley had only known each other only since September of 2023 😂
Why do people feel that they have to move to LA or Austin to do social influencing? Can’t that literally be done anywhere?
Because you can't make money if your influencing if you move to small town Arkansas or Nebraska
sadly, it’s mainly because those two places became media hubs. even youtubers/influencers who don’t live in those two places have to go there occasionally for opportunities. they have usually the studios, company headquarters, and the manpower to do some of the things required for media collaboration. you technically can be an influencer without living there, but being there means less traveling for opportunities. it also means you may not be considered for jobs because of the fact you have to travel/fly out to get there. it’s all about business in media hubs, especially getting things done as fast as possible.
Easy money
Re: What's appealing about reality TV. Maybe it's just the crowds I tend to hang with, but my first thought was less "This isn't appealing because it isn't aspirational" and more "this isn't appealing because where's the drama/conflict/etc.?" Like, when I think reality TV, I think less about the Kardashians and more about Survivor, Love Is Blind, Family Swap (or whatever it was called), and so on, where the stars _are_ supposed to be regular people, but they're being pitted against each other and/or against their environment in some way. And even with the Kardashians, I always got the impression that at least half the appeal for a lot of folks was that there always seems to be at least two members of the family getting into _some_ sort of drama with each other. Now, that's also part of why I often feel a bit gross about watching reality TV, as well, but at the same time, that's what I've seen so many people (very much including myself) get sucked in by more so than just, "Ooh, rich people!" In fact, if a show was just rich people being rich, I would have absolutely zero interest, and it would be just as boring as non-rich people sitting around and being non-rich.
Yesss! It's the drama for me!
Bruh😂✋🏾 I got lost at the " I'm going on a Holy girl walk" from Ashley's social media. I just found it odd I guess. It seems like a facade. I genuinely can't stand Christian influencers even though I'm Christian because it seems so performative. I'm TRYING not to be so judgemental💀 I'm STRUGGLING
The ladies missed a perfect opportunity to say she's made 'chord progression' in learning guitar. I mean, if cheesy is the vibe, be all the way mozzarella.
Jokes aside, I don't think I could watch this show unironically. Very much reminds me of the performative relationships necessary to fit in at church and in church culture. Speaking from own experience, no h8.
✌️
When I saw the announcements for the reality show, I was so excited but ONLY for the purposes of knowing The Antibot would 1000% be doing a review on it lol
just commenting before watching! i love you and husbands content, its always interesting, thought provoking and entertaining to watch.
I'm so glad you two are watching this because I wouldn't be able to.
I try to remember that these women are victims of the system but them having deep conversations about nothing and twisting it around has me losing my mind!
When I was a Christian I would have found this offensive 😭
Picking up heavy things and putting them down is actually healthy if done with proper form. I'm not suggesting they need to do all the time, but a few times a week would do some good. And no, it doesn't even have to be gym equipment.
This is some of the cringiest, most insane stuff I've ever seen in my life. Like, who's watching that? Who's watching Christian Kardashians? As if the normal Kardashians aren't boring enough, here's the Christian version with people you've never heard of.
Omg, i'm gonna get snacks and a blanket for this shit.
Their reality show comes across as being so hollow.
I think they are struggling in their minds because they don’t have husbands not struggling financially
Over the past few days I have watched videos you guys posted 10 months ago a year ago three weeks ago and now I'm an hour after the upload I've finally caught up!!!!!
The way these two women talk, you’d think they were reading a script written by a man who doesn’t talk to women. It’s bizarre
29:10 He's engagement baiting. Chances are he already has a girl and just uses the "I'm so lonely" gimmick to get women, both attractive and un, to interact with his page.
Bonus points for Fugazi shirt.
41:03 Hey, a Mog is actually a type of goblin in Magic the Gathering. They are looking for a Mog Fanatic, a very famous old magic card.
I find these two fascinating because they are unlocking memories of the women and girls in my church from ages ago.
I'm so mad because she said "We're raw dogging this" and I was thinking that from when she first said "raw" but when she actually said it my jaw dropped..
😂😂😂😂
1:01:40 There is literally a verse that says "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48.
The way they seem to be misappropriating queer/ black language like "moment" and "period" and "imma keep it a buck" I find irksome. Maybe they aren't aware, but it's still a bit annoying and they already have their white Christian speak to use like "in the world" and calling god "dad"
Oh they’re aware of the Brown and black and queer tiktokers that are using this language online. As a 29 year old who frequently is around girls like them, they know! I made a similar comment as well.
Ashley seems to be struggling with anxiety about not knowing what her future holds, but at the same time renders herself completely helpless to be proactive about anything she really WANTS.
Ashley and Ally need better writers. The dialog is so bad.
I'm absolutely convinced it was ai generated
It feels like a weird twist on The Office, but like, if the writers took psychedelics, and unironic.
The sheer amount of unacknowledged privilege embodied in the statement of l
“Not doing anything because the lord will provide for me” is mind boggling….
48:20 lmaoo im gay and calling church a kiki it's the funniest thing I've heard of my life
Thank you so much, I was waiting for your review about this. I hope you'll do the following episodes.
Calling God "Dad" is so strange to me.
This is a "reality show"? Its so choreographed and scripted...do they know what "reality" TV is? lol.
"I feel, like, I actually have a desire to pick up my guitar." 😑 But that wouldn't be leaving it in god's hands! Don't you trust daddy god to make you able to play the guitar if that's what he has planned for you?
I need a crossover of y'all and Fundie Fridays 😂😂 that would be amazing!
Yessssss❤🎉
I had a really weird physical reaction listening and watching those two women! The cringe was so bad it has a physical effect on me!
I think the reason they’re so basic is that they’re trying to be normal outside the Evangelical stuff. “Look, we eat avocado toast and drink pumpkin spice lattes! We’re not in a cult! Is that something someone in a cult would do? I don’t think so!”
After all, for them this is missionary work and convincing their young viewers that living like that is normal is a big part of that. The dullness is the mission.
That makes sense actually. A lot of cults/MLMs/etc *crave* any form of legitimacy they can get. By being so banal, it’s saying something like “Hey don’t worry! We’re not wierd or controlling or anything!”.
They only want to roll out the manipulation once you’re in.
Am I the only one that got huge lesbian couple vibes from the first scenes??? Like okay this is just a cutesy Sapphic soap opera
i've been waiting for you guys to hop on this show 😅 another great video thanks guys!
Boring! And they can’t act. Yes they are acting, that is NOT real!
I’ve met my fair share of “Jesus freaks” and it’s not just a quirky name
You guys really went through this for us, thank you. Wow.
It's so weird that they say all of these things like they're earth-breaking, when you could go to any of the fifty churches on any given Texas street and hear the same exact stuff. It's so boring.
I've been out of the fold for so long, I am genuinely curious. Is this amount of God/Jesus talk normal? Or is it just because this is curated?
At face value, it seems like extreme hypervigilence and obsession. Do they talk about anything else? I feel like a God would want us to live and enjoy life. I'm sad if this is an accurate depiction of their daily life.
Remember when the Monat girlies made their own "reality" show? I can safely say I'd rather watch that mess for 2 hours than 22 minutes of Jesus Freaks.
😂
These girls are so shallow, boring, and self-infantilizing.
Right, also it seems like there's a lack of awareness of people who materially struggle more than them or who are discriminated against. With a name like "Jesus Freaks", it seems they should be counter-cultural in some way, or reaching out to people who are left out by the wealthy side of LA.
