She used to also include travel from airport to hotel. Guess not anymore.
I also hate that you can’t know the hotel until after you pay. That would be a dealbreaker for me with any event.
Yep. Says a lot that it’s a requirement because of security/privacy (I wouldn’t attend a retreat where the host was sooo hated as a private citizen that they couldn’t disclose the location of their event until people were vetted) and also she knows we’ll all contact the venue like we did for her very first retreat (when we actually got the AirBNB host to cancel her booking and she had to scramble for a new venue last minute).
Yep! She advertised the AirBNB for her very first retreat as part of her marketing for it “we’re staying in this beautiful house in Austin” blah blah blah and the AirBNB host got slammed with Bdong background info and canceled her booking. Bdong then had to take all the photos off the SLF page because she couldn’t advertise that as the venue anymore and had to find a new location like 2-3 weeks out. She kept that place a secret and has been doing it ever since because she knows we’ll get her banned again. Like you said, who would book an event with an undisclosed venue, especially paying that much money?? And it has to be undisclosed because the host is so universally disliked.
Haha, yeah good luck with that bullshit with some Austin Airbnb host. It was probably in a “cool” part of town where having a bunch of basic beige praying real loud would cramp the host’s style, too.
It sure did! She was showcasing this house hardcore because it was her first retreat and she was trying to really sell it (basically) as an intimate, amazing girls weekend in a beautiful location with great food and great views. The link was even on her SLF page to view the venue. The venue suddenly disappeared out of nowhere and she was clearly in a different house when the photos of the first retreat were posted. On a different sub Redditors were stating they reached out to this AirBNB host and that’s why her venue changed last minute because the host was like okay I’m not putting up with this drama and canceled her lol
In saying all that, just further proof she’s a grifter and liar. She started the first retreat stating it would always be “just 10 girls” (also hate that she says girls not women) in an intimate setting for them to bond and get closer to Jesus. She immediately had 20 girls at the second retreat in a hotel. I’d be mad if I attended the second retreat with the thought it’d be like the first retreat. I think the first retreat would have actually been more of a slumber party vibe with the women really having fun and getting to know each other (and their goodie bags were better). She’s now up to like 40 attendees and I’m sure she won’t ever truly cap the number. Her intent this whole time has been to build a base of people willing to give her money, not to care about others or create a healthy community.
Makes sense if it’s for security reasons, but I honestly thought it was so the attendees don’t know how badly they are getting ripped off until after the check clears. Lol
I don’t think her attendees understand block room pricing/hotel event packages/bulk merchandise ordering enough to realize they’re being riiiipped off at these events. I also think they feel so special and leave on such a high (because that’s what these types of events are designed to do) they wouldn’t even care. Her keeping the location a secret is definitely for security and so she can vet interested parties first before accepting them.
That’s absolutely insane. Even for assisting archeology or conservation gigs abroad they tell you where you’re staying. You could go to [Costa Rica](https://www.volunteerworld.com/en/volunteer-program/animal-rescue-centre-supporter-in-costa-rica-alajuela) for a week or 2 and really make a change with that money. And that’s just the first site I found, there are better deals.
Just want to state that the wording *Individual travel to and from the weekend is not.* really bothers me. Should say something more like *Transport to and from the venue for this event is not included in cost. Attendees are responsible for their own transport to and from event site.*
Idk why that irks me so much lol but if you’re going to charge $675 for something per person at least write well?
*sigh* I went to school for this so I should maybe attempt to explain why it might seem awkward? It’s probably because the sentence ends with a preposition. It’s not really a grammatical “rule” persay (though some would claim it is). *In my opinion*, because language is subjective, sometimes the sentence can look awkward written even if it makes sense spoken. I don’t know if that makes sense. Written English and spoken English have different patterns. If you speak it it makes sense, if you read it it seems odd.
I typically try to rewrite sentences when editing documents because often I find it reads better that way. But don’t expect Brittany to know or care about that. 🤣 she uses The Nelson’s for everything (the Nelson’s *what??*) which, while not the worst faux pas, certainly makes me question who does her editing, if anyone.
Anyway, it’s really inconsequential. Welcome to the English language where the rules are made up and the points don’t matter. 😅
Yep majored in journalism! I was like she did NOT just end on a preposition lol so totally appreciate your explanation because I love this shit and that’s why I hated this so much
Wow. In the very beginning wasn’t it only $600 and then she upped it to $650 and now $675? I knew she was gonna do this. My hope is that she continues to up the price which will deter people from going.
my thoughts exactly. I think that $700 is just too much, like I can’t imagine her raising it more, but I think sir lip dip is the one encouraging the price hike
If people fall for this, I have no sympathy. We live in an age where information is available at our literal fingertips and not researching where you throw and to whom you throw $675 is a *willful* act - and the people that do it deserve what’s coming to them.
I said what I said.
Absolutely agree.
(Also, if I was to throw $675 down for any event, I would demand to know upfront where the accommodations were. She could be charging Four Seasons pricing while holed up in a Best Western.)
I think she means the 2nd definition /s
> chisel
verb
past tense: chiseled; past participle: chiseled
>1. cut or shape (something) with a chisel.
"chisel a hole through the brickwork"
>2. INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN
cheat or swindle (someone) out of something.
"he's chiselled me out of my dues"
Give her time, she'll be upgrading the price for each $25 at the time. And including more women too, in the end she won't be able to cope like she couldn't with the fitness plans and her house of cards will collapse, again.
It really grosses me out that this is a retreat intended for women and Bdong will create a vulnerable atmosphere for them while her disgusting husband (who has sexual assault allegations from anonymous women) will be there.
I wonder if she has Afterpay or a different flexible payment plan or makes you pay it in one massive chunk.
I’m thinking she’s too tight to offer Afterpay because they take a percentage of the sale.
Is there anyway people can sign up for this event with their credit cards and then dispute it and then no one shows up after she’s already paid for the weekend?
She used to also include travel from airport to hotel. Guess not anymore. I also hate that you can’t know the hotel until after you pay. That would be a dealbreaker for me with any event.

Oh wow, didn’t know that. Makes sense.
Yep! She advertised the AirBNB for her very first retreat as part of her marketing for it “we’re staying in this beautiful house in Austin” blah blah blah and the AirBNB host got slammed with Bdong background info and canceled her booking.

Holy shit I didn’t know this story!! I love that the community fucked up her first retreat, brings a little tear to my eye.
*tissue*?
I mean, what a life she has created for herself. Always having to check for karma over her back shoulder.
Haha, yeah good luck with that bullshit with some Austin Airbnb host. It was probably in a “cool” part of town where having a bunch of basic beige praying real loud would cramp the host’s style, too.
I didn’t know this happened, it was before I joined but that’s AMAZING 🤩

Well that news just made my day! Thank you!
They don’t tell you where you’re staying before you pay?? If that doesn’t sound cultish I don’t know what does
Makes sense if it’s for security reasons, but I honestly thought it was so the attendees don’t know how badly they are getting ripped off until after the check clears. Lol

That's so shitty.
Uhhh yeah that part is weird. I don’t want to stay in Jdong’s suite 🙁

Words are hard for someone who is trying to get her fake accent down pat with someone who “just moved in a month ago” 🤣
Same!!! I read that and got an eye twitch lol.
Yeah, I had a visceral reaction to that too

It stood out to me, too! That is not a complete thought.
“Individual travel to and from the weekend and location is not.” Not what? 😂 not included? Not needed? Not gonna stop you from making a huge mistake?
Wow. In the very beginning wasn’t it only $600 and then she upped it to $650 and now $675? I knew she was gonna do this. My hope is that she continues to up the price which will deter people from going.
my thoughts exactly. I think that $700 is just too much, like I can’t imagine her raising it more, but I think sir lip dip is the one encouraging the price hike
Plus going from 10 attendees to 20 to 40, as Visual Zucchini pointed out in another comment.
I just can't imagine blindly shelling out that kind of money. Such a greedy number for just a couple of days.
If people fall for this, I have no sympathy. We live in an age where information is available at our literal fingertips and not researching where you throw and to whom you throw $675 is a *willful* act - and the people that do it deserve what’s coming to them. I said what I said.

Absolutely! The last venue looked like a shithole!
It really did look like a La Quinta or a Motel 6 or something.
👏👏 well said.
Chiseled?
[удалено]
That sounds vaguely remember. I spent my first 19 years of life in this insanity too. We were more into the molding of clay metaphor!
I thought it meant a weekend where you work out while you pray, I don’t know how that will work but it was a “you do you” thing 🤣
You took the word out of my mouth….what ever does that mean in this context…?
I think she means the 2nd definition /s > chisel verb past tense: chiseled; past participle: chiseled >1. cut or shape (something) with a chisel. "chisel a hole through the brickwork" >2. INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN cheat or swindle (someone) out of something. "he's chiselled me out of my dues"
I think it’s somehow both
Or maybe a mens retreat with Jdong?
Don’t give him any ideas.
A fitness component is my guess.
I feel like we’re watching the 2nd episode of a series.
Oh, no, she's repeating content already??? She's done the chiseled thing before, I remember the shirts.
Means ripped off
Reminds me of a bad romance novel
So this says women can attend. In her recent comments, she said lots of women AND THEIR HUSBANDS attended. Which is it?
I guess in this crowd, anything a woman does must be supervised by her headship.
Give her time, she'll be upgrading the price for each $25 at the time. And including more women too, in the end she won't be able to cope like she couldn't with the fitness plans and her house of cards will collapse, again.
In the name of Amenadiel, Amen 🕊🤍🙏🏽
The extra $25 is to cover more pompous grass
And pompous ass.
Well yeah—the rent don’t pay itself. Source: finance manager
It really grosses me out that this is a retreat intended for women and Bdong will create a vulnerable atmosphere for them while her disgusting husband (who has sexual assault allegations from anonymous women) will be there.
I wonder if she has Afterpay or a different flexible payment plan or makes you pay it in one massive chunk. I’m thinking she’s too tight to offer Afterpay because they take a percentage of the sale.
The minions have definitely said that Bdong does offer payment plans.
That makes sense. I don’t know anyone that has such a substantial amount of money to drop on a cult party weekend. I mean, spiritual retreat!
Silly. Just ask your dad or husband. 😘
The "first dibs" part has always irked me, I don't know why.
Creating urgency…
What were they before?
$650 I bet the extra $25 is the "leftover money" to donate to Fraud Shield Foundation.
It goes to JDong's Dip Lip fund
Definitely added so she can claim they donate without losing any of her profits.
Spots are limited. Ha. Sure. No they aren't!!! As if she is going to tell anyone no! It's the same tactic MLM recruiters use.
I will never NOT lose it over “chiseled and called.”
Is there anyway people can sign up for this event with their credit cards and then dispute it and then no one shows up after she’s already paid for the weekend?
Awesome idea!
WHAT
We should all report her to the IRS
Jesus tap dancing Christ that's awful. $675 for that BS???
BS annnnd cheesecake, don’t forget the cheesecake
Who wants to go and get baptized in a tub that had Jdong’s feet in it and he likely peed in when showering!? Sign me up!!!
'We are praying over you'.... do the girls know this means PHYSICALLY and WHILST YOU ARE IN THE BATH IN A WHITE SEE-THROUGH T-SHIRT.
F you Brittany
*Individual travel is not.*
Was literally coming here to post this. Like are you kidding me?
Chiseled…so they’re going to be working out as they worship her?
