2024/05/01

The Twin Flames Universe is not your everyday cult-it's a Cult of Love. I spent 6 months inside their private Facebook group and saw firsthand how easy is for people to fall head over heels for false prophets and promises. Is the 2nd coming of Christ (and his wife) psychologically manipulating good people in an online cult? I'm convinced they are.
