Do people need to be saved from Gloriavale? | Q&A
Christchurch Girls' High School interview Lilia Tarawa about her life in the Gloriavale cult founded by her grandfather, Neville Cooper.
❤‍ Welcome to my channel :) I'm a young woman learning how to love myself. ❤‍
I talk about what it was like as a young girl growing up in religion and struggling with low self esteem, plus my story of breaking free from the church to find myself through creativity, self love and healthy self esteem.
Creativity makes me happy, so I write, speak, sing and dance to learn more about myself.
It's exciting to express who I am because strong women in my culture were degraded and silenced.
Today, I draw self-worth, self-confidence and self-esteem from my individuality and personal power.
I hope you follow to watch weekly videos that help you love yourself first.

    Ich danke Gott, daß es in Neuseeland noch wahre Christen gibt! In Deutschland ist es verboten eine christliche Schule zu machen, obwohl die Moral wieder nicht zum Besten bestellt ist. Schulen in Deutschland dürfen nur Lehrer beschäftigen, die eine staatliche Ausbildung haben. Staatsschulen beschäftigen sogar Beamte, die Kinder mit der Liebe Gottes kaum erziehen können. Die Mädchen und Frauen sehen, finde ich, in ihren Kleidern sehr gut aus! Um die Gemeinschaft zu fördern, ist die einheitliche Kleidung sinnvoll. Wie soll eine Frau einen Mann finden, wenn sie sich, wie in Deutschland, als Mann kleidet?

    I’m so sorry for everything you suffered there, we live in a wicked world. There’s this kind of fog in our lives in everything we do even when we’re happy as though you’ve not quite reached what you’re searching for, but with Jesus He gives you so much peace that you feel like nothing else compares to talking to God and spending time with Him, God’s love is so amazing. And having a relationship with Jesus is not about religious works or being scared into doing the right thing, it’s about having a relationship with God and He loves you so much, His Spirit was not present in that awful place.

    I'm impressed by the simple beauty of the people in your pictures. There's definitely an attractiveness there which cannot be compared to the heavily painted up, or wierd and slovenly styles common in our day and age. "Humility is the most beautiful virtue". I'm not supporting abuses that may be done in the name of religion. I have heard of this group, and would have some serious reservations about them. I'm just recognizing the tendency to throw that word "cult" around too freely as a weapon, to seek to justify ones choices contrary to Biblical principles, and to destroy the reputation of those we dislike.
