We're Not a Cult: Inside Twin Flames Universe

Twin Flames Universe (TFU), led by Jeff and Shalia Divine, presents itself as a spiritual movement promising to guide individuals to their ultimate soulmate, or "twin flame." However, an investigative exposé reveals a darker reality, painting a picture of alleged manipulation, control, and financial exploitation. Jeff and Shalia, through online platforms, cultivate a luxurious image to attract followers to their teachings, which involve expensive courses, coaching, and memberships. The investigation uncovers controversial practices, including allegations of coercing followers into significant life changes, even concerning their gender identity.  

Former members describe a highly controlled environment where emotional abuse and pressure to conform are commonplace. The financial model of TFU, where coaches remit a significant portion of their earnings to Jeff and Shalia, raises concerns about exploitation. A particularly disturbing aspect is the alleged pressure on followers to question and even alter their gender, with a high number of individuals within the community having transitioned. This is often linked to TFU's teachings on "divine masculine" and "divine feminine" pairings.  

Further investigation delves into the Church of Union, a non-profit established by Jeff and Shalia. Allegations and evidence suggest it was created, at least in part, to avoid taxes. Public tax filings reveal substantial expenses, prompting scrutiny of the church's financial activities. Despite facing police investigations and widespread media condemnation, Jeff and Shalia, aided by a PR team, vehemently deny all accusations, portraying themselves as victims of "cancel culture." They maintain their teachings are divinely inspired and beneficial to their followers.

However, the testimonies of former high-ranking members like Key Griffin and Victoria paint a starkly different picture. They describe a cult-like environment characterized by control, emotional manipulation, and financial exploitation. Both have since found healthy relationships outside of TFU and urge current followers to recognize their freedom and the possibility of a fulfilling life beyond the group's influence. While Jeff and Shalia continue to deny any wrongdoing, the investigator remains resolute in their pursuit of accountability, highlighting the serious allegations of harm and manipulation within the Twin Flames Universe.
