Rebekah Baird Gill leaves Girl Defined as they Downsize

[one-time-i-dreamt]

not a dream

If you remember Girl Defined (ugh), Kristen and Bethany's brother has accused their mother Heidi of unspeakable things

He did a verified AMA on Reddit some time back where he revealed just how much his family failed to protect him as a child victim of SA and now has come out with something even worse

I knew this family was bizarre and disgusting, but this is worse than I ever imagined

My heart hurts for Michael and I believe him wholeheartedly

Heidi you will pay for your crimes one way or another

Girl Defined

I'm pretty involved in the fundie snark circles talking about the Duggars,, Rodrigues, Girl Defined ETC and it got me thinking about Girl Defined

Did anyone actually voluntarily watch their videos?

I had absolutely no interest in them when I was the target demographic. At all. They seem childish and cutsie and not very me at 14, and the years before and after. Now, I was homeschooled yes, but I was homeschooled catholic and although catholicsm has a lot of similarities with fundamentalism, theres a big divide still (i had people in my otherhomeschool group that werent allowed to hang out with me because my family was catholic ;-; ). So okay, sure, maybe because I wasn't taught to save my first kiss for marriage I wasn't who they were targeting, but still, I was forced to watch them at youth groups, again and again and again, long with catholic youtubers.

I never understood the videos even as a 11 year old I felt like I was being talked down to.

What were your thoughts?

Beal–Baird #2* has arrived! Sounds like Bethany had a successful home birth. Her Due Date was tomorrow (Christmas Eve).

I m a fundie by many standards, I follow you to see a different take on life and to keep up with the big families that were shown to me as models.. anyway I m kinda fundie and I hate Bethany. She is such an hypocrite and scammer. Horrible. I don’t use hâte very often but I dislike her soooo much. That new course smells like bs from a mile away. I can’t believe some people will be fool enough to buy it.

I've heard that from a few fundie-lite flavored Christians tbh which is always a relief lol. I mean Girl Defined in general seems objectively horrible regardless of your religion, but I've been out so long I don't necessarily trust my judgment there.

I think it's notable too that out of all of the fundamentalists I follow on my finsta (easily 150+) Laura DeMasie is the only one who follows either GD or Bethany. I mean even Anneliese has more pop culture religious figures following her and she hasn't been around near as long so I think that really says something.

Bethany from Girl Defined is using Mother's Day as an excuse to spread anti-trans bullshit and it is infuriating.

[allthingsfundie]

Bethany just confirmed in an insta q+a that she drinks alcohol in moderation, and I must say that I am shocked at this piece of information. 

[gossipgirldefined]

Bethy gave us a week of fanfare before starting her “December social media break” on the 7th from 1 of her 3 accounts.

Then her counterparts cited the same copy pasta about wanting to spend precious time with their sweet family. 🤔

But it’s likely because they’ll be hosting a slew of super spreader events for Christmas and Ellissa’s wedding on January 9.

Our saintly fashion icon, Bethany Beal, is sporting Hypocrisé Chic this season. To get this exclusively god-honoring look, spend your days shaming women for their fashion choices and then wear those exact same outfits! 🤡

[fundieshaderoom]

Bethany wants you to know she is NOT deconstructing

[wtffundiefamilies]

[totallyrobophobic]

So, uh, Girl Defined has deep ties to Nazi Germany. Their grandfather joined the Nazi Party way back in 1925 and was the mayor of Saalfelden during WW2.

You can’t control who you’re related to but Bethany is posting happy photos of herself visiting Austria and vaguely mentioned that her grandparents were "directly impacted by the war.” Big yikes.

Note—An asterisk (*) indicates a Firstborn Spacing based on a loss. These couples' 1st Live Birth also contributes to their data; however, as a Post–Loss Spacing, rather than a Firstborn Spacing.

Some couples don't have a Marriage–to–Firstborn Spacing listed. In these cases it's because—(1) they have not announced Pregnancy #1 yet, or (2) they had fertility struggles prior to Baby #1.
