TikToker @mychurchtruth has gone viral with her videos calling out her former megachurch for their decidedly unchristianlike conduct.

TikTok creator Lexi, aka @mychurchtruth, uses her platform to share stories of her experience working at a megachurch.

Lexi does preface one of her earlier videos by stating that she will not disclose the name of the church. She also emphasizes in her comments that "not all churches are bad."


In her very first video, which has been viewed more than 170k times, Lexi shares her fears about shedding light on what goes on behind the scenes in the unnamed megachurch.

"I'm still scared of what people at that church will think of me."
"I was part of the problem while I was there. I was not helping - I was making it more toxic."

She is also worried about what might happen to her if she starts "outing" people and they decide to come for her.

You can view the first video below.

In another video, Lexi clarifies that her videos are to spread awareness, not to spread hate.

She wants to help people "know what to look for, what not to look for, and red flags...because there are good churches out there."

In her very first revelation video, which has been viewed 2.5 million times, Lexi talks about her job filling the front rows of the church.

"So, one of my jobs was to fill the front row. The reason they wanted the front rows full was just for looks [on the broadcast]."
"We were always told to fill it with people who were volunteers and people who wouldn't act crazy in the front row or do something weird."

She continues to tell the story of a time she put three volunteers who were "so sweet" and "everyone loved," but she was reprimanded because of the way they looked... "because they didn't fit the vibe."

The whole story is in the video below.

In a "Pt 2" video of the previous one, Lexi explains how at the end of each year, the church would pick people serving in the church and bless them with a big gift, for example a car or apartment furnishings.

The church would bring the recipient on stage and surprise them, making a huge spectacle and, of course, including it in the broadcast.

She revealed that the three volunteers who weren't allowed to be in the front rows for the regular church broadcast were the recipients of the gift that year.

"Ok. Now you want them to be seen...when it benefits you."

Part 2 is below.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
