Right. I was about to come comment about the fact that no human history has ever gone without being sick. Her advertising that her family never is would be a malicious lie. Now that I heard the coughs and now I surmise that she was feeling guilty for starting to get sick and the anger and fear was from that root cause. I went to many a fundamentalist, activist churches in which Spritual Warfare was a major component. She rattled off many phrases that flag her as such. The unfortunate parts are that it’s not just her. There is a large sector of churches that believe this and preach this.
Same😂, I have an appointment with mine on the 29th. Will let her know that this will be my last visit since I’ve just told my RA to leave me the hell alone. Could you imagine their faces if we actually said something like that?💀
As an infertile person I was told more than once that God was telling me I shouldn’t be a mother. I basically said “F off” and made my own path through adoption. What I truly abhor about fundamentalist beliefs (any of them) is that there is no acceptance that someone else might live life is a totally different but wholly valid way from you and that is okay.
I have read the whole Bible multiple times. Basing my view on what is written in there, the people I have met who are not religious are much better Christians than the majority of Christians I've met. I often want to ask Christians if they've read the book. Jesus didn't preach hatred, demon contracts over costumes, screaming at people about how sickness means their faith is lacking, judging the poor and downtrodden, or elevating yourself in this life for your beliefs. I recommend Brittany go back to her Bible - starting with Matthew 6.
When they make up silly rules like "I don't get sick because I'm a believer," the inverse of that is, "Those who get sick aren't believers," and inevitably gives the "true believer" a sense or superiority AND THAT IS WHAT I HATE. There is no room for pride within Christianity.
"Go, devil, go!" Sounds like rooting for the devil, not trying to banish him. Also, her intense belief that her faith will protect her from essentially everything ever might contribute to why she believes she will be protected from her own reckless driving!
WFTW: I found out I am presenting at a conference in Portland this summer based on an event I threw for our College faculty this past fall. I worked very hard on making my boss's vision come to life and we got great feedback so it feels like I really earned this recognition ❤️
WFTW: Seeing Mickey Atkins post a new video about Bethany from Girl Defined, finishing that video, and then seeing this one! Two great and in depth videos from two of my favorite creators on the same day??? It must be an early birthday gift 🥰🎉 Also, you look so beautiful in this video, B. ❤

When you're around one of those "my family NEVER gets sick" types, whatever you do, DON'T remind them of all times their family was sick. They will just snap at you that those times don't count for blah blah blah reasons and then they'll never like you again lol
@@kellyguarano8864 its not the same thing that shes talking about.. when you blame a certain spirit its a whole new level and in my opinion thats where it goes wrong. theres nothing wrong with faith and believing in healing. it is our right but its not so simple and faith is not easy in todays churches due to the lack thereof
Wow... B can I just say, I normally do chores while I listen to you, and this particular one I was thinking to myself "I kinda miss going to church for (xyz reason), but I hate the aspect of organized religion" "I wish I didn't have such a strong conviction against the 'organized' part, so i can allow myself to go... i feel like I'd just end up **feeling bad about myself** if I go" Then within a couple minutes you spoke on that feeling you have about organized religion and how feeling bad about yourself is also a big concern/issue you would have *if* it made you feel that way. Like, idk what I'll do with this, but it just felt very validating! And like... OK, maybe I *can* go back to church to get something out of it and put the boundary up to not feel bad about myself. Anyways, thanks for always speaking from your heart and experiences.
Ugh, I am so sorry you’re wrestling with this 💛 there were a few years where I didn’t go to church pretty much at all because I was so disillusioned with the whole concept of organized religion. It was hard to work through the idea that this is supposed to be a place where God’s love is shown the most, yet I have experienced worse hurt from people here than anywhere else! Honestly I don’t know if/when I would have started attending regularly again but a few years ago my husband wanted to get involved again (at a different church than we had previously gone to) so I went back for him. By that time I had done so much deconstruction and rebuilding of my own beliefs that I knew I could go, listen, participate and be comfortable voicing when there were things I disagreed with. Realizing I don’t have to internalize something just because a pastor said it was so powerful!! Anyway that is just my experience so far! I am sending you so much love right now. If you’re feeling pulled to get back into church, a lot of churches livestream their services now so maybe you could find some local churches and check out their RUclips channels from home where you can turn it off if the message isn’t good for you. I don’t agree with everything that is said from the stage at my church but something that they always emphasize is that everything they say is coming from a place of love and everyone is welcome at our church and loved by God so I’d hope there’s a place near you that will have that same approach too💛
@BHaney that's a great idea about checking out Livestreams so I can feel the church/message out from the comfort of my own home before committing to one in person. Thank you so much for further sharing your personal experience with why you stopped going, and the return. Very much appreciated!
I've seen children die because of this way of thinking. They're overly religious parents think they're evil because they've gotten sick and they believed that they could starve the sickness out of them. Truly scary when you think about it. I'm not anti-religion by any means. I just don't think the religion they prescribed to is in any way shape or form Christianity as they claim it is.
Man, this hit home. I had a family member share the same message when I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. It was the same 'you let the devil in because of sin, so now you're cursed with an illness' type messaging. This was over 5 years ago and even after much deconstructing and healing, that still sticks with me. I can't believe people who speak those things don't take a moment to reflect on what they're actually saying.
Win for the week: almost everything I've eaten this week has been my own cooking! I don't have a lot of energy, but I'm improving that by eating well. 😊
Your point around the 12 minutes mark is so painfully true. I just had to say my final goodbye to my uncle, one of the MOST FAITHFUL AND DEVOUT MEN I've ever known, because cancer has ravaged his entire body. He is going through so much suffering and pain. We were going into his room to say goodbye and HE was praying for US 😭 does that sound like a bad Christian, someone that didnt believe hard enough? I would LOVE to have a chat with her about this face to face. Such insensitive bullshit. And my god, I feel so awful for her young children. Shes just shouting at them about demons 24/7, you know it. What a home life they must have 😔
Win for the week: turned in cortisol test with my MD which is hopefully a step closer to answers (speaking of being sick) - and got a hair cut which made me feel so much better about myself 💕
WFTW: My mom got hurt and my aunt was hospitalized, but they both are doing so much better and I thank God for that! I also made the Dean's list and I am so happy and proud of myself! ☺️ At this church I attended, someone was speaking and said if you are sick then you don't believe in God enough. I thoroughly disagree as a Christian. Just as we take in good bacteria we also take in bad and it can make us sick. My best friend's grandfather had terminal cancer and went quickly, but he was the most godly man ever, and I don't doubt in my mind where he is. I believe he is with Jesus and that makes me feel so much better. There was a pastor as well that said if you have something in your life (sickness, issue, whatever it may be) you have to WANT it to go away. I've had Lyme for a long time, and yeah I want it to go away, but I also don't think God looks down on me because of my illness. It could be way worse, and I am thankful it isn't. For those who have chronic illness, I pray for you and hope you know God is still with you ❤❤
This woman sounds exactly like my mom growing up. If she continues, it doesn't get better. Myself and another sibling are low contact with both of my parents because of how out of touch with reality they are.
My win for the week is the engineers at work seeking me out directly to tell me how good I do at my inspection job. This isn't something they generally do, so it feels like it means a lot more than management saying anything.
Thank you so much for calling out toxic Christianity. As a new Christian I’ve been struggling with finding a Christian community to be apart of because a lot of Christian spaces in my area are a bit toxic.
Imagine being next to her at a red light and just looking over, seeing this woman with a bright light in her face as she rants and raves while sitting alone in her car.
There was a sister from the Church I was raised in, who got sick and ended up on life support with tubes everywhere and a older sister from Church said This was Gods punishment on her and I thought that was so crazy to say.
It looks like she’s already deep into religious mania. Times like this, I truly hope she is playing it up for the camera. Similar to what televangelists do to get more donations. Religious mania can be so dangerous and has led to some horrific things. I just hope she isn’t “praying” hers & her kids illnesses away and not going to the doctor.
I think this thing of Christians blaming the enemy for everything is just so weird - we live in a fallen world and stuff happens. I admire these ladies fervent attitude and enthusiasm toward the faith, but dang this is borderline craziness.
As a high school senior, I have absolutely found it hard to make friends with other girls in my youth group. For the longest time all of my friends were my younger sister’s age and so I didn’t really know anyone in my own group, even though I desperately wanted to fit in with them. I joined student leadership with a handful of them and realized how much of a clique they really were, constantly talking over me and ignoring me. Some petty drama went down and by the end of the year they were all just… gone. But it’s just over the past year or two that I finally started to connect with the new girls who started coming. It’s taken me that long, and I’ve been coming every week since 7th grade. Thank you, B, for mentioning this
I don’t know why I’ve never seen your videos before but this just popped up and grabbed my attention!! I am a follower of Jesus and have been chronically ill for 10 years. Between members of the church and my own family members, I have been really put into a dark place. They all treat me like I just don’t have enough faith. Or I haven’t prayed enough. Or let’s just do this exact “prescriptive prayer” and you’ll be magically healed. It’s definitely my fault apparently… that is devastating. It’s so damaging and hurtful. People in the Church as a whole need to do better. Jesus isn’t our magic genie in a bottle. We all endure things in life no matter what we believe. The Bible literally says “it rains on the just and the unjust.” I quote that alot to these people. None of us are immune to illnesses or suffering. God is still good and kind in the midst of our suffering. I think maybe they just don’t want the real Jesus. He’s not enough for them. And that’s sad. Thank you for sharing this. ❤
If you struggle with people saying such things to you, please watch Joni and Friends. She addresses this a lot and she’s super encouraging and a huge disability advocate. ❤
This is what drives me crazy about fundamentalism. They have to keep peddling the sickness (shame, doubt, ect) so they can keep peddling the “cure” (strict adherence to their doctrine)
Win for the week: I start my PhD and counseling on Monday. This video was very concerning. As a clinician, if a client was acting like this in my office, I would think that they were in some sort of manic episode. I would also consider religious scripulosity. I do hope she is taking her children to the doctor and not praying over them if they get seriously ill. Have fun at the game!
I’ve seen it come from a non-privileged place. Many poor people are preyed on by the faith healers and believers like this. She is making money and no better than a faith healer on TV. Also, Jesus/God is not our genie or our magic wand. He is all powerful sovereign Lord and we can pray according to his will but he let’s things happen we may never understand this side of Heaven and that is what true FAITH is! Thanks for talking about this B. This doctrine almost destroyed my walk with the Lord. He brought me back in love though. ❤
This belief system is literally killing people. This over spiritualization of absolutely everything often leads to people not taking care of themselves and not seeking proper treatment for real serious health conditions... Pray for them.
I had a lot of amazing and hilarious comment ideas for when Farryn (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) was screaming at us about Lucifer’s, aka The Light-Bringer, influence over viruses, but what I really want to say is I feel very sorry for her kids. There are innocent human beings who lost the birth lottery and have this mentally ill woman as their mother. She clearly needs a therapist.
As tedious as it must be, I appreciate the qualifers, cavets, and clarifications B Haney makes when stating her assumptions and statements (e.g. the red light flash in the eyes to know if its being filmed, the mental health speculation disclaimer, etc). I normally dont like commentary videos because often they throw generalizations carelessly or are very presumptuous or are full of contempt. But you recognize the subjectivity, and acknowledge you may be wrong or dont have all the informations and that you are only sharing your thoughts.
I am a Christian. I will not question Dawn and friends' salvation, but they may as well be in a totally different religion. My practice has as little in common with their flavor of Christianity as it does with Hindu practices. This is just an observation, I am not throwing shade at anyone for their religious beliefs.
Yes!!!! I so agree. My Christian family gets sick. My half polish mom gets sick less than the rest of us-to which she credits the vodka in a her occasional martini.
I’m not going to lie, Farryn is very entertaining to watch. She definitely believes what she is saying. She can pray for me. And she would believe it so hard, it just might come true. Farryn pray for me to buy the winning lotto ticket next week. How about the blood of Jesus pays my student debt. He paid the ultimate price and all.
Honest questions here. 1. Are you Christian? 2. Are you saying, in this post (sarcastically) that Jesus can not make away for your student debt to be paid off, even a miraculous one?
I am Christian. And yes, this is a joke. I know that he can make a way out of no way. I’m jokingly saying that if he died to forgive our sins, and his sacrifice paid our debt, how about he goes ahead and pays off my student debt.
when i was diagnosed with asthma at age 3 i should’ve just yelled into the void about the devil and maybe i wouldn’t still be dealing with this annoying affliction 20 years later…. dang i really missed the mark on this one :/
Happy Birthday to your husband! She looks like an SNL skit character. The screaming and her message that Christians shouldn’t get sick (it seems like satire)…I’m fairly confident this is not what Jesus has in mind about spreading his message. This isn’t Biblical. Every time I see things like this, it makes me understand why Christianity can leave a bad taste in people mouths. Incredibly sad too because she seems to be struggling.
My Win for the Week: I went out for dinner with coworkers and had a great time! I'm not a very social person but even I had to begrudgingly admit that it was nice to be in a group setting and feel like I belonged somewhere.
Yayyy ok my win for the week is I didn’t get discouraged when I had to reschedule an exam and I don’t need to punish myself for taking more time and ps loveeeee your videos
I heard about a girl who got really sick and her parents prayed for her and refused to take her to the hospital and they let her die. You cant pray some things away.
Good to know now that I could have just declared, “No! Devil!” over my father, THE PASTOR, dying from malignant melanoma at 42 years old. Also, no need for sympathy. This was 20+ years ago, and I fully understand that God uses sickness, suffering, and death as sanctification and for the glory of God. 😊
5:38 This is so interesting when you consider that Paul was “given a thorn in his flesh” which I’ve always been taught was some sort of maledy that God refused to heal. Seems contradictory to her own Bible honestly
Thank you for speaking on this. Somehow the algorithm sent me Ferrin's video (not my usual content) and I was so triggered. "Healing by faith" is one of the main reasons that I lost my genuine faith in Christianity, after years of crying out and being prayed over. As someone who was brought up believing it was possible to have "faith enough" to be healed and that witches cursed over my birth and contributed to my mother's health problems with the placenta. I had been praying for healing since childhood as someone with chronic illnesses that were unexplainable. For me, the story of Jobe is enlightening to the fact that the devil is allowed to mess with us and having genuine faith isn't a coverall to healing. Also, why is she screaming at us all? Even if I liked her message it's wayyy aggressive to be auditorally assaulted.
Holy moly, she is INSANE. Royally pisses me off that she's doing this while driving too. I bet if she had a car accident from negligent driving she would blame the "devil" too. What a scary and horrendous human.
WFTW: A 2-day system meeting that had been dumped on my shoulders went off with only a few hitches (that were outside my control)! So now I can stop stressing over it 😂
I feel like we are watching the evolution of the prosperity gospel. The old prosperity gospel and "this" is focused on villianizing everything, but the old prosperity gospel focused on money as the solution. The problem was that people just didn't have enough money to pay for the solution. In this evolution, the solution is you, but "you" is never good enough to be the solution. VLOG: "Boring vlogs" - Danny Gonzalez
These things remind me of the story where a flood comes and a man is stranded. 3 times someone comes by offering to rescue him but all 3 times he refuses saying God will save him. He dies and when je gets to heaven he asks,"Why didnt you save me?" And God says,"I sent you 3 rescue opportunities!" Like have these people ever thought hand washing, vaccines and medicine are God's way of protecting them? God works through people all the time so why would that be any different?
Faryyn coming in hot!! 😂 In all seriousness, B, I understand your comment about her potential manic episode she may be experiencing due to her beliefs. She does seem very unwell, I'll admit it. However, I just think it's important to point out that there are a lot of online Evangelical Christian MEN influencers with large platforms too that spout the same sort of rhetoric and use the same sort of "unhinged" tone. But I'm willing to bet that they don't receive speculation about their mental health like this. And maybe that's some insight into internalized misogyny (speaking for myself, anyway). Something to ponder.
"It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Emphasis on the part where Jesus reaffirms a need for doctors to heal the physical body in the physical world.
If Farryn truly believed that then she should be in the hospital every single day praying over ppl. If she has the answer to sickness and she doesn’t do that then she’s willingly keeping ppl sick. The whole thought that illness/ disability is a moral failing is BS. I sure hope that none of her loved ones ever become seriously or chronically ill. Bet her tune would change then. My grandmother was a very devout Christian but that didn’t keep her from dying due to a heart valve defect. Miss me with that shizz, girlfriend. Ooo that one made me mad. 🤬
Wow. Just wow. B, you nailed it -- there's some mania just bubbling under the surface. Doctrinally, she's so far off; but her manner is one of the unhinged. To speak politely.
WFTW: I did another performance with my Doctor Who radio drama group today at a local convention. Everything went great, and I can't wait to start our next production! What version of The Bible are these people READING?!?! (If they ARE reading in the first place!) Everyone has to handle some bad stuff in life, according to Scripture, we suffer that regardless of our faith, strong or not! Where is Farryn coming from to make this outlandish claim?! I find her ranting ludicrous, not to mention INSULTING! Her claim that "her family never gets sick"...What a LIE! EVERYONE gets sick! "The rain falls on the Just and Unjust alike", she is NO DIFFERENT! Who am I going to "partner with"....? Science-Based Medicine, thank you so very much! I think a lot of this stems from a perversion of their idea of "We are IN this world, but we're not PART of this world" train of thought that I hear repeatedly! That silliness has never sat well with me! We ALL have influence on different things and different PEOPLE on this planet! We DO affect people around us, intentionally or not! I get so tired of these people using it as some type of shield defending what they do and say. Sorry, but if I can hear and comprehend what they're saying, they have no "spiritual protection" from negative comments and sarcasm I may have to say in return if I find your words outrageous! I get really tired of Britt making a huge production that she thinks EVERYTHING in her life is so Pure and Faithful, and she's two seconds away from being able to walk on water! She's so annoying and her hypocrisy is so thick, you wouldn't be able to cut it with a LIGHTSABER! And then she has to make it even more annoying by including her entourage she calls her "friends". Basically she's got a troop of "yes-girls" to agree with everything she says. As the late Bill Hicks said, "These are a bunch of fevered egos, tainting our Collective Subconscious, making us pay a higher psychic price than we imagine!"
Honestly I feel for her. Life is so scary an unpredictable. It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that anything could happen at any moment and much of it is beyond our control. But the notion that Jesus will make it so no one who follows him will ever get sick is ridiculous. It’s not represented that way anywhere in the Bible. As tempting as it is to believe that everything bad can be prevented by being faithful enough, it just doesn’t match up to reality or theology. My mom always said “the way God provides for our health and healing is doctors and vaccination.” Pray but keep the gunpowder dry 😂
"I don't ever get sick!( Cough cough)." I think she's trying to convince herself.
For sure…like you’re getting sick, it’s ok. Take some DayQuil and keep it moving lol.
@bhaney😂
😂😂 you’re yelling 😂😂 Also, isn’t there a scripture in the Bible that says women who are godly have a gentle heart and demeanor? 🤷🏼♀️
Right. I was about to come comment about the fact that no human history has ever gone without being sick. Her advertising that her family never is would be a malicious lie. Now that I heard the coughs and now I surmise that she was feeling guilty for starting to get sick and the anger and fear was from that root cause.
I went to many a fundamentalist, activist churches in which Spritual Warfare was a major component. She rattled off many phrases that flag her as such.
The unfortunate parts are that it’s not just her. There is a large sector of churches that believe this and preach this.
The irony of her coughing the whole time she’s screaming about not getting sick😂
the way i see it, God can heal miraculously but he also heals us with medicine that ultimately comes from him too
Every time she says “I declare” all I can hear is Michael Scott from the Office yelling “I DO DECLARE!!”
Haha now that is gonna be on repeat in my head 😂
I can’t wait to tell my rheumatologist that my incurable autoimmune disease has been canceled from my body. 😅
I'm with you, sister. Hugs
I'm going to tell my endocrinologist that in February when I go in for my thyroid check. I'll let you know how it goes.
Same😂, I have an appointment with mine on the 29th. Will let her know that this will be my last visit since I’ve just told my RA to leave me the hell alone. Could you imagine their faces if we actually said something like that?💀
As an infertile person I was told more than once that God was telling me I shouldn’t be a mother. I basically said “F off” and made my own path through adoption. What I truly abhor about fundamentalist beliefs (any of them) is that there is no acceptance that someone else might live life is a totally different but wholly valid way from you and that is okay.

I didn’t even notice at first lol that’s great

"Go, devil, go!" Sounds like rooting for the devil, not trying to banish him. Also, her intense belief that her faith will protect her from essentially everything ever might contribute to why she believes she will be protected from her own reckless driving!
It reminds me of the book Go Dog, Go 😂
WFTW: I found out I am presenting at a conference in Portland this summer based on an event I threw for our College faculty this past fall. I worked very hard on making my boss's vision come to life and we got great feedback so it feels like I really earned this recognition ❤️
Congratulations, that is amazing!! It must feel so great to have your effort and skills celebrated like that. 💛
I also just found out that I'm presenting at a conference in Texas! It's such a great feeling. Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations! That's awesome!
WFTW: Seeing Mickey Atkins post a new video about Bethany from Girl Defined, finishing that video, and then seeing this one! Two great and in depth videos from two of my favorite creators on the same day??? It must be an early birthday gift 🥰🎉 Also, you look so beautiful in this video, B. ❤
lol I just watched Mickey’s video, too
Same!!
Ditto!
B Haney is like a ginger chew for Brittany’s content 😊

Yeah regardless of whether she’s trolling or serious, the post is super concerning.
@@BHaney concerning for sure...
Omg she has children
When you're around one of those "my family NEVER gets sick" types, whatever you do, DON'T remind them of all times their family was sick. They will just snap at you that those times don't count for blah blah blah reasons and then they'll never like you again lol
They’ll say it was the demonic spirit of jezebel that made them sick 😂😂
They’ll start rebuking you 😂😂😂

MY family rarely gets sick but that's cuz we have decently healthy immune systems (considering half of us have an autoimmune disease)
Not you photoshopping yourself in their photo in the thumbnail😂 that made me LOL
Wow... B can I just say, I normally do chores while I listen to you, and this particular one I was thinking to myself "I kinda miss going to church for (xyz reason), but I hate the aspect of organized religion" "I wish I didn't have such a strong conviction against the 'organized' part, so i can allow myself to go... i feel like I'd just end up **feeling bad about myself** if I go"

We were going into his room to say goodbye and HE was praying for US 😭 does that sound like a bad Christian, someone that didnt believe hard enough? I would LOVE to have a chat with her about this face to face. Such insensitive bullshit. And my god, I feel so awful for her young children. Shes just shouting at them about demons 24/7, you know it. What a home life they must have 😔
My win for the week is that I survived corona two times in a two month period. 😊🙏
Win for the week: turned in cortisol test with my MD which is hopefully a step closer to answers (speaking of being sick) - and got a hair cut which made me feel so much better about myself 💕
WFTW: My mom got hurt and my aunt was hospitalized, but they both are doing so much better and I thank God for that! I also made the Dean's list and I am so happy and proud of myself! ☺️
At this church I attended, someone was speaking and said if you are sick then you don't believe in God enough. I thoroughly disagree as a Christian. Just as we take in good bacteria we also take in bad and it can make us sick. My best friend's grandfather had terminal cancer and went quickly, but he was the most godly man ever, and I don't doubt in my mind where he is. I believe he is with Jesus and that makes me feel so much better.
There was a pastor as well that said if you have something in your life (sickness, issue, whatever it may be) you have to WANT it to go away. I've had Lyme for a long time, and yeah I want it to go away, but I also don't think God looks down on me because of my illness. It could be way worse, and I am thankful it isn't. For those who have chronic illness, I pray for you and hope you know God is still with you ❤❤
This woman sounds exactly like my mom growing up. If she continues, it doesn't get better. Myself and another sibling are low contact with both of my parents because of how out of touch with reality they are.
My win for the week is the engineers at work seeking me out directly to tell me how good I do at my inspection job. This isn't something they generally do, so it feels like it means a lot more than management saying anything.
Thank you so much for calling out toxic Christianity. As a new Christian I’ve been struggling with finding a Christian community to be apart of because a lot of Christian spaces in my area are a bit toxic.
When she yelled No!No!my dog immediately felt guilty and shamed.
That poor animal 😂
Imagine being next to her at a red light and just looking over, seeing this woman with a bright light in her face as she rants and raves while sitting alone in her car.
There was a sister from the Church I was raised in, who got sick and ended up on life support with tubes everywhere and a older sister from Church said This was Gods punishment on her and I thought that was so crazy to say.
My win for the week is that I found something really important to me that I thought I'd lost. It's the little things ...
It looks like she’s already deep into religious mania. Times like this, I truly hope she is playing it up for the camera. Similar to what televangelists do to get more donations. Religious mania can be so dangerous and has led to some horrific things. I just hope she isn’t “praying” hers & her kids illnesses away and not going to the doctor.
I think this thing of Christians blaming the enemy for everything is just so weird - we live in a fallen world and stuff happens. I admire these ladies fervent attitude and enthusiasm toward the faith, but dang this is borderline craziness.
Amen
There’s zero personal liability in this. It’s wild.
I literally just finished your Brittany Dawn playlist TODAY and was so sad I had run out and then BAM a new video 🙌🏼
As a high school senior, I have absolutely found it hard to make friends with other girls in my youth group. For the longest time all of my friends were my younger sister’s age and so I didn’t really know anyone in my own group, even though I desperately wanted to fit in with them. I joined student leadership with a handful of them and realized how much of a clique they really were, constantly talking over me and ignoring me. Some petty drama went down and by the end of the year they were all just… gone. But it’s just over the past year or two that I finally started to connect with the new girls who started coming. It’s taken me that long, and I’ve been coming every week since 7th grade. Thank you, B, for mentioning this
oh boy…I knew as soon as I laid eyes on Farryn I new we were in for a wild ride!
I don’t know why I’ve never seen your videos before but this just popped up and grabbed my attention!! I am a follower of Jesus and have been chronically ill for 10 years. Between members of the church and my own family members, I have been really put into a dark place. They all treat me like I just don’t have enough faith. Or I haven’t prayed enough. Or let’s just do this exact “prescriptive prayer” and you’ll be magically healed. It’s definitely my fault apparently… that is devastating. It’s so damaging and hurtful. People in the Church as a whole need to do better. Jesus isn’t our magic genie in a bottle. We all endure things in life no matter what we believe. The Bible literally says “it rains on the just and the unjust.” I quote that alot to these people. None of us are immune to illnesses or suffering. God is still good and kind in the midst of our suffering. I think maybe they just don’t want the real Jesus. He’s not enough for them. And that’s sad. Thank you for sharing this. ❤
If you struggle with people saying such things to you, please watch Joni and Friends. She addresses this a lot and she’s super encouraging and a huge disability advocate. ❤
Love this friend. Praying for peace in this area for you.
Read the title and I ran here 😂 love your videos!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed this one 💛
This is what drives me crazy about fundamentalism. They have to keep peddling the sickness (shame, doubt, ect) so they can keep peddling the “cure” (strict adherence to their doctrine)
Astute!
Win for the week: I start my PhD and counseling on Monday. This video was very concerning. As a clinician, if a client was acting like this in my office, I would think that they were in some sort of manic episode. I would also consider religious scripulosity. I do hope she is taking her children to the doctor and not praying over them if they get seriously ill. Have fun at the game!
I’m in a doctorate for psych. Welcome. Have a great 5 years!! ❤
Manic is an understatement
They give the devil soooo much power by assuming every little thing is “the devil”!!
I’ve seen it come from a non-privileged place. Many poor people are preyed on by the faith healers and believers like this. She is making money and no better than a faith healer on TV. Also, Jesus/God is not our genie or our magic wand. He is all powerful sovereign Lord and we can pray according to his will but he let’s things happen we may never understand this side of Heaven and that is what true FAITH is! Thanks for talking about this B. This doctrine almost destroyed my walk with the Lord. He brought me back in love though. ❤
Screams for minutes “the devil makes my throat sore!”
She said Jesus take the wheel lolol 15:52
Exercising her faith right there 😅
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on “chasing away the devil/sickness away.” I have a dear friend who leans this way and I cannot agree with her.
This belief system is literally killing people. This over spiritualization of absolutely everything often leads to people not taking care of themselves and not seeking proper treatment for real serious health conditions... Pray for them.
I worry for her children if they should ever become seriously ill. She’ll likely ignore any medical recommendations.
I had a lot of amazing and hilarious comment ideas for when Farryn (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) was screaming at us about Lucifer’s, aka The Light-Bringer, influence over viruses, but what I really want to say is I feel very sorry for her kids. There are innocent human beings who lost the birth lottery and have this mentally ill woman as their mother. She clearly needs a therapist.
I’m DEAD - It took me WAY TOO LONG to notice you edited yourself in their friend group 🤣🤣
Just wanted to say that I appreciate you watching B Dawn’s shit so that I don’t have to.
As tedious as it must be, I appreciate the qualifers, cavets, and clarifications B Haney makes when stating her assumptions and statements (e.g. the red light flash in the eyes to know if its being filmed, the mental health speculation disclaimer, etc). I normally dont like commentary videos because often they throw generalizations carelessly or are very presumptuous or are full of contempt. But you recognize the subjectivity, and acknowledge you may be wrong or dont have all the informations and that you are only sharing your thoughts.
I am a Christian. I will not question Dawn and friends' salvation, but they may as well be in a totally different religion. My practice has as little in common with their flavor of Christianity as it does with Hindu practices. This is just an observation, I am not throwing shade at anyone for their religious beliefs.
Yes!!!! I so agree. My Christian family gets sick. My half polish mom gets sick less than the rest of us-to which she credits the vodka in a her occasional martini.
Same. I don't recognize any of my own personal beliefs in what they say. Similar words, zero relatability.
Lol you may not be questioning them but they sure do feel entitled to question everyone who doesn’t believe exactly like them. Losers.
I’m not going to lie, Farryn is very entertaining to watch. She definitely believes what she is saying. She can pray for me. And she would believe it so hard, it just might come true. Farryn pray for me to buy the winning lotto ticket next week. How about the blood of Jesus pays my student debt. He paid the ultimate price and all.
« how about the blood of jesus pays my student debt » would make such a great t-shirt honestly! Haha
Honest questions here. 1. Are you Christian? 2. Are you saying, in this post (sarcastically) that Jesus can not make away for your student debt to be paid off, even a miraculous one?
I am Christian. And yes, this is a joke. I know that he can make a way out of no way. I’m jokingly saying that if he died to forgive our sins, and his sacrifice paid our debt, how about he goes ahead and pays off my student debt.
I am LOLLLLING at B photoshopping herself into the group pic in the thumbnail 😂😂😂😂😂
“Maybe you get a dry spot in your throat because you’re yelling” - I died
Win for the week: Today is my birthday! I spent most of today playing Baldur's Gate 3 and I had so much fun!
ma’am, this is a wendy’s
Mam this is a McDonald’s
i'm obsessed with the thumbnail 🤣& great video as always!
Spiritual psychosis is in the room with us and her name is Farryn 😂
My WFTW: B photoshopped into the God Squad group photo. I can't tell you how much it delights me!
when i was diagnosed with asthma at age 3 i should’ve just yelled into the void about the devil and maybe i wouldn’t still be dealing with this annoying affliction 20 years later…. dang i really missed the mark on this one :/
WFTW: I decluttered and reorganized my bedroom and found my locket from my sister that’s been missing for months
🥺 I hope she gets found and is safe💗
Edit: Oh my god you were talking about the locket. The locket was missing. Wtf is wrong with me😂
@@EleanoraaaaaThis made my day 😂
My win for the week is that I got to go see the Mean Girls Musical Movie with my friends on Thursday and we dressed up and had a good night.
How fun!! 🥰💛
Was it good? I’ve been wanting to see it!
@@lindseystein9676 it’s definitely not better than the original but we had a lot of fun and it was still good. I love Reneé Rapp and she slayed
I think she's trying to gaslight herself that she isn't sick. Girlie take a nap and eat soup 🍲
I say this as respectful as possible. The lady speaking at the beginning sounds very manic IMO.
Win for the week: I found out that I'm expecting 🤰🏻
Happy Birthday to your husband! She looks like an SNL skit character. The screaming and her message that Christians shouldn’t get sick (it seems like satire)…I’m fairly confident this is not what Jesus has in mind about spreading his message. This isn’t Biblical. Every time I see things like this, it makes me understand why Christianity can leave a bad taste in people mouths. Incredibly sad too because she seems to be struggling.
My Win for the Week: I went out for dinner with coworkers and had a great time! I'm not a very social person but even I had to begrudgingly admit that it was nice to be in a group setting and feel like I belonged somewhere.
Your thumbnail is so great!
Thank you, I thought it was pretty funny myself 😂
Yayyy ok my win for the week is I didn’t get discouraged when I had to reschedule an exam and I don’t need to punish myself for taking more time and ps loveeeee your videos
The thumbnails on these are so good 👌👏😂
I totally missed you in the thumbnail the first 4 times I saw it 🤣 Love it
Glad you’d liked it 😂
I heard about a girl who got really sick and her parents prayed for her and refused to take her to the hospital and they let her die. You cant pray some things away.
I would be a legit superhero if I had received every bit of healing and wholeness and strength someone claimed for me.
Good to know now that I could have just declared, “No! Devil!” over my father, THE PASTOR, dying from malignant melanoma at 42 years old.
Also, no need for sympathy. This was 20+ years ago, and I fully understand that God uses sickness, suffering, and death as sanctification and for the glory of God. 😊
We live in a fallen world so sickness exists.
5:38 This is so interesting when you consider that Paul was “given a thorn in his flesh” which I’ve always been taught was some sort of maledy that God refused to heal. Seems contradictory to her own Bible honestly
Thank you for speaking on this. Somehow the algorithm sent me Ferrin's video (not my usual content) and I was so triggered. "Healing by faith" is one of the main reasons that I lost my genuine faith in Christianity, after years of crying out and being prayed over. As someone who was brought up believing it was possible to have "faith enough" to be healed and that witches cursed over my birth and contributed to my mother's health problems with the placenta. I had been praying for healing since childhood as someone with chronic illnesses that were unexplainable.
For me, the story of Jobe is enlightening to the fact that the devil is allowed to mess with us and having genuine faith isn't a coverall to healing.
Also, why is she screaming at us all? Even if I liked her message it's wayyy aggressive to be auditorally assaulted.
Holy moly, she is INSANE. Royally pisses me off that she's doing this while driving too. I bet if she had a car accident from negligent driving she would blame the "devil" too. What a scary and horrendous human.
WFTW: A 2-day system meeting that had been dumped on my shoulders went off with only a few hitches (that were outside my control)! So now I can stop stressing over it 😂
I feel like we are watching the evolution of the prosperity gospel. The old prosperity gospel and "this" is focused on villianizing everything, but the old prosperity gospel focused on money as the solution. The problem was that people just didn't have enough money to pay for the solution. In this evolution, the solution is you, but "you" is never good enough to be the solution.
VLOG: "Boring vlogs" - Danny Gonzalez
GIRLLLL if you don’t want your throat to be dry maybe just settle down a little?? LMAO
Woot! I'm really early! Excited for the video :)
I hope you enjoy it!
These things remind me of the story where a flood comes and a man is stranded. 3 times someone comes by offering to rescue him but all 3 times he refuses saying God will save him. He dies and when je gets to heaven he asks,"Why didnt you save me?" And God says,"I sent you 3 rescue opportunities!" Like have these people ever thought hand washing, vaccines and medicine are God's way of protecting them? God works through people all the time so why would that be any different?
Faryyn coming in hot!! 😂 In all seriousness, B, I understand your comment about her potential manic episode she may be experiencing due to her beliefs. She does seem very unwell, I'll admit it. However, I just think it's important to point out that there are a lot of online Evangelical Christian MEN influencers with large platforms too that spout the same sort of rhetoric and use the same sort of "unhinged" tone. But I'm willing to bet that they don't receive speculation about their mental health like this. And maybe that's some insight into internalized misogyny (speaking for myself, anyway). Something to ponder.
"It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
Emphasis on the part where Jesus reaffirms a need for doctors to heal the physical body in the physical world.
Fess up,this is Kenneth Copeland in drag
😂😂😂
If Farryn truly believed that then she should be in the hospital every single day praying over ppl. If she has the answer to sickness and she doesn’t do that then she’s willingly keeping ppl sick. The whole thought that illness/ disability is a moral failing is BS. I sure hope that none of her loved ones ever become seriously or chronically ill. Bet her tune would change then. My grandmother was a very devout Christian but that didn’t keep her from dying due to a heart valve defect. Miss me with that shizz, girlfriend. Ooo that one made me mad. 🤬
B!! Can we just talk about how pretty you are in this video?! Love it and love your videos so much! 🥰💯❤️
Imagine having your little kids yell GO DEVIL, GO every time they start to feel a little sick. Just visualize that for a second. 🤦🏽♀️
😂
A four hour road trip with them would take a very long bath and many hours of alone time to recover.
Wow. Just wow. B, you nailed it -- there's some mania just bubbling under the surface. Doctrinally, she's so far off; but her manner is one of the unhinged. To speak politely.
This lady genuinely scares me. Also, I never get sick, and I'm an atheist. 💅😏🤪🙄
Yes, this is very concerning 😮
The rambling in the beginning is reminding me very much of the 8 passengers mom 😬
“Cough cough”. Good grief……was that the devil ?
WFTW: I did another performance with my Doctor Who radio drama group today at a local convention. Everything went great, and I can't wait to start our next production!
What version of The Bible are these people READING?!?! (If they ARE reading in the first place!) Everyone has to handle some bad stuff in life, according to Scripture, we suffer that regardless of our faith, strong or not! Where is Farryn coming from to make this outlandish claim?! I find her ranting ludicrous, not to mention INSULTING! Her claim that "her family never gets sick"...What a LIE! EVERYONE gets sick! "The rain falls on the Just and Unjust alike", she is NO DIFFERENT! Who am I going to "partner with"....? Science-Based Medicine, thank you so very much!
I think a lot of this stems from a perversion of their idea of "We are IN this world, but we're not PART of this world" train of thought that I hear repeatedly! That silliness has never sat well with me! We ALL have influence on different things and different PEOPLE on this planet! We DO affect people around us, intentionally or not! I get so tired of these people using it as some type of shield defending what they do and say. Sorry, but if I can hear and comprehend what they're saying, they have no "spiritual protection" from negative comments and sarcasm I may have to say in return if I find your words outrageous!
I get really tired of Britt making a huge production that she thinks EVERYTHING in her life is so Pure and Faithful, and she's two seconds away from being able to walk on water! She's so annoying and her hypocrisy is so thick, you wouldn't be able to cut it with a LIGHTSABER! And then she has to make it even more annoying by including her entourage she calls her "friends". Basically she's got a troop of "yes-girls" to agree with everything she says.
As the late Bill Hicks said, "These are a bunch of fevered egos, tainting our Collective Subconscious, making us pay a higher psychic price than we imagine!"
Honestly I feel for her. Life is so scary an unpredictable. It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that anything could happen at any moment and much of it is beyond our control.
But the notion that Jesus will make it so no one who follows him will ever get sick is ridiculous. It’s not represented that way anywhere in the Bible. As tempting as it is to believe that everything bad can be prevented by being faithful enough, it just doesn’t match up to reality or theology.
My mom always said “the way God provides for our health and healing is doctors and vaccination.” Pray but keep the gunpowder dry 😂
“I sent you a raft, a boat, and a helicopter!”
So the enemy is.. the flu? Lmfao
Why is she so aggressive!? She does not seem ok.
AT ALL.
I’m too tired for that kind of energy 😂
