Episode 268: Twin Flames Universe Part 3
With their promises of finding true love coming due, the Master Christ and his wife were forced to come up with a plan. They channeled God and got a new message for followers that included the identities of their Twin Flames. But the names on the list didn’t match up with the feelings followers held in their hearts. After high profile members ducked out and the leaders demanded more loyalty, major publications took note. But the attention wasn’t quite flattering and revealed some of the group’s darker actions. This week’s episode is Twin Flames Universe Part 3.
