"I LEFT A CULT AFTER 22 YEARS" - Therapy Gecko Highlights 

Guy went from a religious cult to talking with a lizard man on the internet incredible glow up

Nothing strengthens a bond between siblings more, than dating them for 6 months

“You lost a lover, but you gained a brother.”

I was in the same cult for the same amount of time too! So glad i got out. Haven't talked to my parents in years and it best decision ever!!

37:30 twins dating caller

The strength of the gecko suit is that it breaks down walls. It makes both the viewers and the callers feel like it's just another goofy show with funny haha's, breaking down their walls they've built to hide their true inner self. At least that's what I think.

Omfg the "brother/sister" call was so wild like the chances of that exact situation are so unlikely and it's so sad that Fate, the cruel mistress she is, completely gave those two a scenario that is literally the worst outcome in a lot of ways. Literally seconds before Gecko said this is above his pay grade I said the same exact thing lol. "They're going to be fiiiiiine." Omg this is such a good episode.

Dude i'm so happy I found your channel! I saw you on tiktok, and wished I found longer videos, cause they are super chill to listen to, and then I found your twitch and youtube. You gained a follower dude :)

Occasionally we get a caller that has something crazy happen to them and it’s always crazier than the title 😂

grew up in the JW cult as well. props to this guy for being so well rounded and social for how he was raised. it took me a long time. i got out officially when i was probably 22-24. i share your plight good sir

This twins dating is basically just the parent trap plot

ive been living as a nomad for ten years, its been great, hard, freeing. there's a lot of people out there not so easy to find online who are living like this, and you will find them

"Stay gecky" made me smile real big at the end.. Thank you Lyle for bringing love and laughter to this cold hard world everyday. I love your show and I love you!

I think I’m just voice blind, but I feel like the same 5 people call in 😂

The twins sleeping with each other was the greatest segment I have seen on this show. Geck- you lost a lover but you gained a brother Sister- that’s a positive….. I guess 😂😂😂😂😂

Geck had absolutely no idea how to approach the sibling dating problem hahahaha

This show is bouta pop! Def excellent content 👌 👏 thank you!

I love people who put the title’s content in the beginning

Best little corner of RU-vid

Idk why but random speech patterns of Lyle’s just crack me up. When talking to the boob lady: “10 pounds each or 10 pounds total? - .. I think it was total. - Total.. SOOOOOOO”

The sibling couple kids gon turn out fine🤣

I’m convinced that at this point in the show’s history, 98% of the callers are making up stuff. However, still entertaining.

this is a good one

I wish it was cut into parts for the diff stories

Sweet home Alabama

I felt that one piece quote at the end

I miss the theme song

Gecko goes nomad. I'm excited

I felt that. Cult can ruin someone’s life.

43:00 Best part

idea on you wanting to just live and see shit: i could totally see you traveling around and interviewing people or just doing the podcast in random locations. you’d get the income and be able to do cool shit and see stuff. but nonetheless one day i hope u get to see all the shit u want geck

The most conflicting thing to me in cults is the dumping of your family and friends to be a part of the cult. It’s ridiculous, and similar to right and left politics today, where they claim compassion, but only if it’s to someone who agrees with me, or believes what I do. Compassion for humans should be unconditional and for all, despite opinion. imo.

Callers: Jehovah’s Witness guy, Brest girl, twin lovers Gecko: ok Caller: Taco Bell girl Gecko: real sh!t?

Your caller who wants to become a digital nomad and travel the world should totally do it!!! That's what I do. I'm a diffuser nomad. If he's reading this comment and wants to know more, I will happily answer any questions he has. Same goes for any viewer or Mr. Therapy Gecko himself. I currently live in the Philippines and I pay $200 / month for a decent apartment. The dating is great here too. He doesn't need to call it being"homeless" though.

I really feel Taco Bell girl bc I have the same exact issue, but with Arby's. Got food poisoning there around the same age, can't go there or eat roast beef. It isn't a phobia thing, but it is a survival mechanism. Even animals, if they eat a particular food and get deathly I'll won't eat that food again. Or it's also an issue with patients who are in chemotherapy.

37:38 for bro/sis

The freelance painter is gonna get a dog and banjo and hop trains and live in squats hostels and dumpsters for fifteen years, then write a guidebook about being a beach bum philosopher

I left Christianity at the beginning of the pandemic. I find it interesting how so many people are saying that they are so much more happy or fulfilled with themselves. Good luck to Dillion, I understand what he has had to deal with.

The couple dating realizing they are related to each other and the worst part they did each other without knowing they are twins?! That's messed up right there. So, when the guy introduce her to his parents, his dad did not realize her parents look familiar? Unbelievable, so they lied in front of their faces. I think they could relate to each other because they are twins like soulmate. I notice there's 2 alyssa callers lol. They kind of sound similar.

I was in the same cult for 2 years or so. Nobody suspected me of faking all they cared about was me giving up as much of my life and money for their “cause” I was there for a girl (as many do) she almost left for me but they have ways of pulling you back in. I left her and that crazy train crash behind. Don’t do it 8/10 wouldn’t recommend

You know what's amazing.... This channel actually helps some f*****-up people.

I will be one of these callers soon 🤫🙂

Gotta fix the foot pad make sure it doesn't look broken.

JW are nothing to joke about my classmates family was in JW so their kids from birth are naturally too. Their whole life resolves around the cult and you get raised / indoctrinated from birth. Even if you are in a normal school like she is and people talked to her about the outside world most people are simply afraid to lose their family their support. You cant stay in the family if you not a cult member and they make that very clear no matter what age you are. In the end it broke her. She had a hidden boyfriend and i dont know the exact background but when she decided to talk to her parents to not want to be any part of the cult activity they distanced themselves from her and straight up told her that she is not welcomed anymore. The part that hurt her the most is her sister. She has a sister a couple years younger than her i think 3 and she couldnt leave her parents that she loved even though she has major doubts abouut the cult. To be willing to lose your family it takes alot. In the end they made her sister lose kontakt with her older sister and their relationship broke.

Chris was just rattling off W after W. that man is going to do great things in his life. also the 4 wheeler argument is bullet proof

im a guy so what do ik ig but nah I feel like y'all overlooked gecks remark about giving women at a certain breast size disability parking, my reason for saying this is because its common for women for large breasts to get back issues from the weight of their breasts straining their back. While you could just get a breast reduction to eliminate this problem if you please, its more than likely some people are against the procedure being preformed on themselves or maybe just can't have the procedure done for other reasons, so disability parking might help accommodate the comfortability and health of these people. jus spit ballin tho

Don't the breast reduction girl and the twin girl sound exactly the same or am I going crazy?

do you take discord calls?

Which time is the marriage fraud

Holy cow! How are you getting these guests?!

43:00 "uh...hello..." I'm calling balderdash on this one. Are they conjoined twins? Do they share a urethra?

Hey Jehovah's witness defector, if you see this, if you want some tools to help you process emotions around your family like youve mentioned, i have a lot of experience around this type of thing specially as a relationship cult survivor and can help out. just dm anytime

Chris is a master debater.

I don't see anything wrong with the brother and sister as long as they don't have kids. It's not like they knew they were related when they first started sleeping together.

i always thought breast surgery should be available for free everywhere. bcs breasts are a weirdly important part of life for people who have them. reductions are life changing as this person says. im non binary and i want mine gone. i dont have enough money to remove them though. im so jealous of that woman but also really happy for her.

I really need an update on Dillon !!!!!

9:07 my maan

As a Christian and not JW, that's appalling. Even if my children didn't believe and follow what I do, how does cutting them out even make anything positive out of it? I believe if we live by example and stay true to our beliefs and the results are positive in our life, maybe someone will see the reality of our faith and if they don't then that's okay to. Mutual understanding and acceptance. You don't have to like or completely support someones decisions to love them. To acknowledge and accept that reality is very empowering.

Sweet home alabama

Same birthday, same birth place! And I'm not talking just the hospital.

I wanty to join this cult. For science purposes only.

Taco Bell girl kinda sounds like Christine sydelko

so the parents didn’t think that them having the same birthday and knew the names weren’t WEIRD

37:32 twins dating section

Geck :)

Spitting fax about taco bell

Sounds like getting promoted as a chimney-sweep is a scam

The freelance painter sounds like he's going through a post break-up 'fuck it' moment. Like he wants to break away all ties from everything because he lost his partner. But I dunno tho.

if the twin thing is real they need to take a break from seeing each other and start seeing other people if they wanna meet up after that that’s fine but lock that shit in a closet and then throw it in a well and take it to your grave

Woah

I guarantee if anyone brought her an item from Taco Bell with a del taco wrapper and bag she would 100% eat it. (I’m aware they taste totally different, but she hasn’t had Taco Bell in 10 years.)

2:10

Taco bell became super duper mid since corona started

Shunning in JW is such a horrible practice. It tears apart families and causes trauma.

Bold for those twins' parents to judge them for a mess the parents made... 😐 Edit: I also hate the 'how are you doing?' question, but the people at the checkout are usually asking so they can send someone to get the items you couldn't find 🙂

real life parent trap?

you chose the wrong story for the thumbnail

He really asked the taco bell girl if she was serious but not the sibling sweethearts?! Hold on man!... taco bell gets rid of all my favorite items so im on strike fr. But I would have asked that boy Alot more questions about the activities they did and got him to meme about how tight his sister is.... srry

Taco Bell fire sauce gang

gecko

Love the Geck but he did Millie so dirty. It'd have been so easy to describe Taco Bell as gross. Even if you like it (like I do) you gotta admit that it's at least a little gross.

he shouldve knoen his family doesnt love him when they named him dylan

That twin thing is gotta be fake. Right? RIGHT?!

SWEET HOME ALABAMA

The traded his spirituality and family for lesser stuff in my opnion...

maybe don't keep dating ur sister. she's ur sister now. just be siblings

You can’t be doing somersaults with Ns 💀💀💀💀😂😂😂

first

dylans story shouldnt reflect on peoples thoughts on what jehovahs witnesses are although the forced friendships and being born into it is not really a choice, its all comes down to if you want to leave or stay and his story about his family abandoning him is sad idk what parent would do that.

Fake stories like the twin ones are so boring ugh

Do you happen to have a moment of your time to talk about our great lord and savior Jesus Christ?

Living forever is like littering with your self. 🤌🏼
