I knew the Gloriavale founder Hopeful Christian personally. Did drive with him a couple of times to Christchurch. He was a harsh man and always right in his own eyes. He did drive often like a mad man, going 140 kms per hour in 80 km zone, and I thought we are going to crash. He did swear if things did not go his way, and I was really surprised how this man could be a leader in the community.
“Religions don’t abuse people, leaders do”, “Find faith but beat the dogma”. Excellently put. Great video, extremely underrated.
appreciate the love!
Caleb, you are a gifted story teller. You are set apart from other creators because you are open minded, see all people as valuable and do not judge them. Through this you portray a non bias story which is educational and gripping. I'm proud of your creativity and your integrity in upholding all parties.
UP THE MIGHTY SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
Sick video bro! So underrated!!
thank ya my man 👊
It a social justice warrior perspective though.
Caleb, this video is stunning. The storey, the editing and the imagery. Wow I'm so so impressed.
thank you judah !! now i just need a big ol camera like yours heh
Most underrated storyteller and creator on RUclips!
You told this story so well Caleb, from scripting, to editing, to effects and of course on camera impressions. Inspired by you and your storytelling.
can always count on you for a nice comment 😍
Gloriavale seeing this 😮, but for real this was such a good video
Thanks Caleb. True story. I lived there for 36 years. It needs to be over for the sake of the misguided good people in there.
Update on the businesses that you have mentioned here. Moo Chews cut ties after the first court case hit the employment court. The Air West cost is no longer owned by Gloriavale. At some point they sold it and it is now owned by another company that is based in Franz Joseph. I found that out by chance as I was staying in Franz Joseph. There are a few other business that are under the radar that a lot of us are unaware of. Things like the sphagnum moss which is converted to the liners of baskets that get used in the hanging flowers. That was and probably is still a huge business. They have many eggs in many baskets.
Absolutely amazing! 🥰 loved that it didn't drag...yet was information packed.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’m part of the wider Christian Church… attend along with my girlfriend…we’re both active in our faith-based Christian groups…” Oh, and BTW, can you offer us a place to shack up together in our Jammies while we are there? Hogwash!
Great Vid. Extremely well done and respectful, was like a mini doco.
Just found your account and honestly didn’t want this to end so good man
Your editing and videography is absolutely insane!! Love this ! Subscribed!
Incredible video bro!
Thankyou so much for sharing this, yet remaining relative and fair on their beliefs and how they got there.
Top man!
Dope video bro, I was born and grew up there, was kicked out when I was 17. Very rare to hear such a balanced perspective on GV, enjoyed the POV.
You are very correct on the leadership being the corruptive element of GV and not necessarily the community aspect
Noah is a prick though lol and Howard and Fervent.
Whyd you get kicked out?
appreciate the comment dude, lets connect up! i've been contacted by a lot of former members & am thinking of doing something ✊
How did you get out, im assuming you wouldve left with nothing :(
My uncle and aunt live in Greymouth and help people wanting to get out of gloriavale
When i went there it was an experience to say the least
Also the main dog has been accused of sexually molesting underage girls.... no surprises its church
Epic vid man 👌🏻 unreal experience too!
I really loved this I also made contact with them and they welcomed me in aswell but I got a spooky feeling not being strong in my own faith I was concerned my intentions may have been scewed. Thabkypu for this was great 👍
Every time I come back to your channel it gets better bro, best believe you’re blowing up soon
Such a good video!! Love it Caleb.
Amazing story telling dude! And editing is top notch!
I watched a ted talk from a woman who was a former gloriavale member . the trauma and mistreatment that she and others were subjected to is appalling
This was awesome I been following this cult a while, super cool to see a young person's perspective on it and describe it in a easy to understand way. Great job bro.
appreciate this comment, thank you :^)
Your channel and your videos are so incredible! You are such a productive creator and you do it with niche and passion, I'm honestly shocked your channel isn't more popular. This video was insanely interesting
i really appreciate your kind words, they keep me going !! because yes, i so hope to reach more people :^) glad you found some value in the video too!
well done man i was glued to the screen the whole time haha
I love this video Jack thank you for sharing another perspective on gloriavale and no we shouldn't villainize them. Thank you.
Wow this was amazing! Good job!!
Wonderful job. I'm sure this channel is going to blow up.
This is really well-made, and should have more views! Some friends and I flew down from Auckland in 2018 for the community show, I have an inkling I know which elders gave you guys the induction haha. We had a little tour after the show and met some of the teachers at the school, both of whom have now actually left the community. The place seemed tranquil, but I got major North Korea vibes the whole time.
No hunting lodge for us though! We rented a freezing cold cabin in Moana :P
Thanks for shedding light on Gloriavale's business operations. Video is relevant in light of the two Employment Court cases against Gloriavale which found that former members with employees rather than volunteers.
This was awesome caleb! Love the last comment. :)
Great video. I loved your perspective.
Really amazing editing & storytelling! Was the old-timey music that played while you guys were in the cabin added in, or was it played int he cabin by Gloriavale?
This was an amazing video to watch
10/10 video, legendary stuff
This was amazing and I love how you can see the unfairness and also find the good and common humanity in them. I believe Lilia Tarawa would be proud of this.
I remember going to one of their concerts when I was a kid living in the South Island, a very strange place.
God bless you brother
And I'm not a Christian anymore but I fully respect other people's religious or spiritual beliefs falling as they're not emergent interpretation, promoting hate , violence on infringing on the rights of others. Anyways, I don't support cults or other extremists but this film was intriguing and well done
this is so good wth !
I’m going to be honest: I started watching this to take the piss. This is succinct, well filmed, well edited, and a quality expose. Colour me highly impressed. I’m going to subscribe - honestly, well done.
wholesome comment haha thank you my man
this is so great, incredible video!! also completely unrelated but you look like taron egerton
Such a cool video Caleb!
Damn, cool to watch. I grew up there.
Awesome video Caleb.
Hey there!
Just wanted to say that this is super well done and gives good insight! I’ve always been interested in Gloriavale’s community and their way of life as I’m sure a lot of people are, wouldn’t be surprised if I saw this clip on the likes of ‘Sunday’ or smth, I feel like I have so many questions for you about your time there 😂
Gloriavale is a terrible oppressive cult, very strict controlled by it's leaders. It has very little to do with Christianity, because many things it's founder Neville Cooper did teach them, were sinful corrupt and wrong. For example he did teach the people there to masturbate. That is why the most people who leave the community, go wild and are not prepared to live a normal christian life.
Have you seen I AM on NZ on demand? Interesting story on there about GV
Here from tik tok great job bro keep it up❤️🔥
They are in greymouth where I live, I see them in the supermarket and walking and driving around everywhere lol
interesting place, thanks for the vid, you're right on about 'mind their dogma'. its easy to respect people with faith who choose to live it with their words and epecially their actions. dogma is merely a tool for many leaders of organised religions, ensuring how their flocks think and act. choice to live that way is fine, but as you said, the children...
Bro well done seriously well done
Here before it blows up
Crongrats bro. You picked up on so many concepts most people miss. I would love to get in touch with you somehow for a chat. I was born and raised there and left almost 2 years ago.
flick me an email or something bro! wuould love to yarn, calebjackw@gmail.com
Hi Josh. I am a new creator and I would be interested in talking to you about gloriavale. If you are interested, please email me on tinydancer1993@icloud.com
Nice job mate pretty spot on
Great video
Well done Caleb.
There is a new documentary out now called escaping utopia. It is from the people that have left. The woman you have at the start of you video who talked about whether she would leave with her husband was in the documentary. It is three episodes long. In it she mentions what Gloriavale did to keep her and her husband apart. Three is only four of Hopeful children by his first still in the community. One of his daughters husband has been forced out that much I figured out from Facebook.
Appreciate the video
Great storytelling? Well done....
This is very interesting
Used to go to school with a couple of them and honestly they said it was okay but it's good to be them selfs go learn go get jobs party and just live
Epic.
i just got invited to Gloriavale
I gotta admit that the location of the community is absolutely stunning but the its a deceptive kind of beauty. And I can't help but wonder if animals were abused too . And seems there's a lot of racism against maori people and other POC amongst members of the community based on what you're describing
ya hit the nail on the head with these comments i reckon 👍
Had to check it out from tik tok
Wow
F yeaH!!
Scary 😟
I live past there on a farm
remember me when you’re famous
A lot of cults have a uniform. I'd love to bring a trailer full of clothes there and offer them to them but they'd either shun them as sinful or be afraid of being ejected from Gloriavale because they wore normal clothes.
Because it's not like you'd be mercilessly shunned, mocked and probably sworn at and abused if you were a girl wearing gloriavale outfits in the rest of NZ. Imagine trying to get a job...
So why if they are running businesses illegally and dealing in animal trade isn't your govt going after them?
They are.
Frank Zappa: ‘The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own’
I think the most important criterion is,: Are you free to leave?
hi
hellooo
Caleb, it looks like you did not see much there. Definitely they were following and controlling every your step. They are terrible cult.
So lucky there on the south island north Islanders wouldn't tolerate this shit
You're right bro, we wouldn't. We'd rather tolerate self-proclaimed bishop and millionaire Brian Tamaki and his sorry mob of brainwashed virtual slaves who are convinced that if they don't do as Bishop Brian says they will all rot in hell. But if they do what he says and follow the gospel of prosperity they will all become rich and when they die they will all go to "heaven" to be with "God". Sad.
I don’t think it was an unbiased opinion piece. You said that " they are limited to grow"based on your own impression of where or how they should grow. It seems that they are with God ALL OF THE TIME in my opinion.
Sounds like you went in to this with a preset story. I don’t really any journalistic investigation. Just a bandwagon story. I don’t agree with the cult. But what did you tell me that I didn’t already know?
why have most of the vlog that one cannot see? Oh well!! Good enough I guess. Nothing here to see...sorry guys
Go and see the movie GLORIAVALE. It's in cinemas now and will tell you a lot more.
Pretty stupid of you to shit on the fact that 15 yr old built your lodge. After all my research and the work they invest themselves in early, they seem pretty competent to me as far as carpenters etc. What is your Yelp review?
They use spiritual blackmail teaching the members that if they don't follow the "rules" or instructions of the leaders, they will be kicked out of the community with no means of support and only the clothes they are wearing and on top of that they will burn in hell. The leaders emotionally blackmail and brainwash the members and threaten them with eternal damnation unless they tow the line. They weren't employed as paid workers, they were virtually brainwashed, indentured slaves. Because they may be competent carpenters does not mean the leaders are, or the cult is a good thing. What is your Yelp comment? There is good and bad in everyone and it's obvious this cult has more bad than good. Maybe you could join the cult and do a documentary? Would love to hear what your research came up with.
Your not a Christian
