Episode #29: The Amazing Adventures of an Amish Stripper with Naomi Swartzentruber
Join us on Cultimatium as we uncover the compelling journey of Naomi Swartzentruber, who was born into the strict Swartzentruber Amish community in mid-Michigan. Naomi shares her harrowing and inspiring story of growing up in a sheltered environment, one she now identifies as a cult. Despite her past, Naomi continues to wear Amish dress on her social media accounts and has authored a provocative memoir, The Amazing Adventures of an Amish Stripper: An Erotic Memoir.
Naomi’s quest for freedom began when she befriended a "worldly" neighbor girl, sparking her curiosity about the outside world. This curiosity led her to run away at 17, aided by an “English” man who exploited and manipulated her. This marked the start of her tumultuous journey, which saw her become a stripper at 20, struggle with severe drug addiction, and ultimately resort to prostitution.
Now, 27 years removed from her Amish upbringing, Naomi is clean, in a stable relationship, and a proud mother to a 3-year-old daughter, living peacefully in Arizona. She has found the freedom she always dreamed of—not just from the Amish community, but also from a life of addiction and exploitation. Naomi’s story is a testament to resilience, offering a powerful message of hope, perseverance, and the courage to create a better life.
Tune in to hear Naomi's candid account of her transformation, her reflections on the Amish lifestyle, and her journey to reclaim her autonomy and happiness. Her story is not only a vivid portrayal of escape and survival but also an inspiring call to never give up on your dreams.

Episode #28: Awakening: Kim Peirano's Departure from the Foundation for Spiritual Development
Join us on Cultimatium as we delve into the intriguing world of the Foundation for Spiritual Development, a Bay Area-based group masquerading as a spiritual school. Kim Peirano, a former member with eight years of experience, reveals the inner workings of this controversial organization. Despite their disclaimer, claiming they are not a cult, Kim’s journey paints a stark picture of manipulation and control.
Kim ascended to level 9.5 in their 10-level program, with level 5 remaining top secret. Members are discouraged from discussing their progress, fostering an atmosphere of secrecy and division. With a membership of just over 100, Kim describes a culture where questioning the group’s practices is not permitted, and hypnosis techniques are commonly used.
As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and a certified Hypnotherapist, Kim’s story is compelling. She details how members are bombarded with love bombing, making them feel exceptionally special, while charismatic leaders Dana and Eric, the second-in-command, maintain strict control. Members are expected to donate time, volunteer for various projects, and engage in expensive classes and retreats. The group’s teachings incorporate elements of Scientology, employing mind control techniques and the notorious mirroring exercise to manipulate and silence dissent.
Kim also discusses the group’s impact on her personal life and business post-exit. She explores the notion that cults provide meaning and fill voids, a lure that kept her ensnared for years. Tune in to hear Kim’s powerful insights.

Editorial: When Silence is Forced – The Story Behind a Removed Episode
You will notice a gap between episode 3 and episode 5. In this special editorial episode, we address the removal of a episode #4 at the request of a guest who courageously shared her story with us. Unfortunately, after the episode aired, she was subjected to severe intimidation and threats from the very cult she sought to expose. We stand in solidarity with her decision, recognizing the manipulative tactics and bullying behaviors these groups employ to silence truth and instill fear. This episode is a reflection on the power these organizations still wield, the importance of protecting those who speak out, and a commitment to continue shining a light on the darkness of cults. While this episode no longer remains in our archive, the conversation about the dangers of these groups is far from over.
The guest, who is not a former cult member, came on the show (originally featured on the Anonymous Andrew podcast) to clarify her belief in the Twin Flames concept, which she distinguishes from the harmful practices of the Twin Flames Universe. Unfortunately, after her appearance, she faced intimidation from the Twin Flames Universe, including legal threats designed to silence her.
It's essential to highlight that the views expressed in this episode are based on our experiences and opinions. We want to make it clear that this intimidation is a common tactic used by cults when they feel their control is being challenged. By trying to manipulate the narrative through bullying and threats, these groups attempt to suppress the truth and maintain their grip on members.
While it was frustrating to remove the episode, we believe it is crucial to prioritize the safety and well-being of our guests. We know how much courage it takes for individuals, especially former members, to share their stories, given the risks involved. We hope this does not discourage others from coming forward to speak their truth.
Our commitment to raising awareness about cults and human trafficking remains unwavering. We will continue to shine a light on these harmful organizations and support those who trust us with their stories. Protecting our guests from further harm is our top priority, and we will always stand by those who seek to bring truth to light.

Episode #27: Breaking the Silence: Elizabeth Quiroz’s Brave Journey as Our First Human Trafficking Survivor
In this powerful episode, we are honored to have Elizabeth Quiroz, our first human trafficking survivor, sharing her story to bring hope and awareness to others.
Elizabeth’s journey began with multiple types of abuse starting at just four years old. Due to the trauma, she sought love, acceptance, and attention from others, she eventually ended up in the foster care system. At 15, she moved in with her alcoholic father. Elizabeth highlights the red flags of human trafficking: not coming home at night, associating with older men, and avoiding eye contact by looking down.
Elizabeth’s vulnerability was exploited by a boyfriend who groomed her and introduced her to drugs, leading her to become a drug mule. She explains that traffickers can be anyone, including women who pose as friends. Her second trafficker, a woman she trusted, further manipulated her. Elizabeth’s addiction to drugs led to repeated incarcerations and being labor trafficked by a drug dealer. Her life took a turn when she became pregnant; she got sober after giving birth, earned her GED in prison, and went into rehab after her release.
Now an author and a social worker with a master’s in social justice and human rights, Elizabeth has written a book titled Purified in the Flame, available on Amazon. She is also the co-founder of Redemption House Bay Area in California. In this episode, Elizabeth explains some of the terms and vocabulary used in the human trafficking world and points out ways the system could improve to prevent more victims, such as implementing background checks and educating foster parents.
We are immensely grateful to Elizabeth for sharing her story with us and shedding light on this critical issue.

Episode #26: Breaking Free: Eleanor Skelton's Journey from Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (IFB) to Liberation
In this episode, we delve into the life and experiences of Eleanor Skelton, who grew up in the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (IFB) movement. Eleanor, the oldest in her family, was first part of the Westwood Bible Church in Bouemount, Texas. Initially, she had a relatively normal church experience there. However, her family moved frequently between Texas and Colorado throughout her childhood.
Their first encounter with the IFB church was when they relocated to Colorado Springs. The environment in the IFB church was marked by intense mind control and an extreme intolerance for those who did not share the same religious or political views.
Eleanor was homeschooled for many years before attending college. Concerned that she was becoming too influenced by the outside world, her parents gave her an ultimatum: transfer to Bob Jones University, an institution known for its stringent and extreme orthodox teachings and rules, or face the consequences. This ultimatum became a pivotal moment for Eleanor. She chose not to attend Bob Jones University. As a result, her parents not only stopped paying for her education but also shunned her. Her younger siblings were forbidden from having any contact with her.
Today, Eleanor is on a journey of recovery from religious trauma and an eating disorder. She continues to receive therapy and is making significant strides in her healing process. Articulate and well-adjusted, Eleanor shared her story with us, and it was a pleasure having her on the show.

Episode #25: Reimagining Faith: Karl & Laura Forehand's Journey from Baptist Roots to Co-Authors
In this insightful episode, we sit down with Karl & Laura Forehand, co-authors and former Baptist church leaders, to discuss their experiences and transformation. Karl served as a pastor in several Baptist churches over a span of 20 years, while Laura played the role of the supportive pastor's wife, raising their children and contributing to the church community.
After two decades of ministry, Karl & Laura began to reevaluate their beliefs, embarking on a journey of healing from the spiritual damage they had endured. Through therapy and other healing methods, they have worked hard to mend the wounds inflicted by their past.
During their time in one small Texas town, they encountered a pre-existing hierarchy that controlled not only the church but also the town itself. This power structure tested their resolve and made it clear who was truly in charge.
Karl & Laura have channeled their experiences into their writing, authoring several books together. Their latest work, "Evolving From Religious Trauma," delves into their journey of recovery and offers insights for others seeking to heal from similar experiences.
Join us for a candid conversation with Karl and Laura Forehand as they share their story of transformation, resilience, and hope.

Episode #24: Karinne's Journey out of Jehovah's Witnesses
In this compelling episode, we delve into the life of Karinne, who shares her profound and often painful experiences as a member of Jehovah's Witnesses. Born into the faith, Karinne was the youngest in her family and often seen as the "black sheep." From the tender age of five, she endured abuse from church members, only to be dismissed and disbelieved by her mother and the congregation when she bravely spoke out.
Karinne's adolescence was turbulent, marked by multiple departures from and returns to the group, each time accompanied by the harsh reality of being disfellowshipped. Ultimately, her breaking point came when faced with the organization's teaching that she must choose death over allowing her child to receive a life-saving blood transfusion. This heart-wrenching directive propelled Karinne to leave the faith for good, prioritizing the safety and protection of her child.
Despite the hardships, Karinne ends her interview on a hopeful note, offering words of encouragement to others who have left the organization and are struggling to find their place in the world. Join us for an insightful and emotional conversation that sheds light on the complexities of life within and beyond Jehovah's Witnesses.

Episode #23: Danielle Storm's Journey out of TFU( Part 2)
In this powerful follow-up episode, Danielle Storm continues her story, revealing the harrowing consequences of her time with Twin Flames Universe (TFU). Influenced by TFU's teachings, Danielle engaged in stalking behavior and failed to respect boundaries, leading to her spending 20 days in jail. Remarkably, Danielle has only been out of the cult for three weeks.
She candidly discusses how her jail time helped her detox from TFU's influence. Believing she had found her twin flame, Danielle was willing to go to any lengths, even to her own detriment. Her release from jail came with the condition from a family member that she must completely sever ties with TFU.
Danielle has since been attending church and offers forgiveness to the person who was responsible for her incarceration. She is hopeful for leniency from the courts and is hoping that her public defense, will be able to explain her connection with TFU & shed light on her extreme and unusual behaviors that led to six restraining orders.
She emphasizes that TFU is a religious-based cult, frequently referencing God but not using the Bible. Currently, Danielle is receiving therapy and support as she transitions out of TFU.
Danielle's final message to anyone involved with TFU or similar groups is urgent: "GET OUT as soon as you can before it causes the kind of permanent damage that I am dealing with in my own life."
Tune in to Cultimatum to hear the rest of Danielle’s compelling journey and gain deeper insights into the profound impacts cults can have on individuals.

Episode #22: Danielle Storm, Former Member of Twin Flames Universe
In this riveting episode, we sit down with Danielle Storm, a former member of Twin Flames Universe (TFU). Danielle's journey with the concept of a twin flame began in elementary school. However, it wasn't until later in life that she revisited this idea, eventually discovering TFU on YouTube around 2015. It wasn't until she became an adult in 2022 that she officially joined the group.
Danielle delves into the techniques used by TFU, including MAP (Mind Alignment Process) and the mirror exercise. She shares how these methods began to severely impact her mental health, leading to self-harm. Danielle opens up about how her involvement with the group affected her relationships, family connections, and finances.
At its peak, TFU had around 25,000 followers, but following the release of documentaries about the group, its popularity surged to approximately 50,000 members. Ironically, the documentaries intended to expose TFU ended up promoting it, drawing more people in.
We conclude this episode with Danielle recounting how she ultimately ended up in jail due to TFU's teachings. To hear the rest of Danielle's story, stay tuned for part two of our interview.
Tune in to Cultimatum for this compelling story and more insights into the world of cults and their impact on individuals.

Episode #21: Interview with Nick Johnson - Life Inside the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ
In Episode #21, we delve into the compelling and complex story of Nick Johnson, a former member of the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ. Nick's journey into the cult began at the young age of 20, introduced by a neighbor. The group, which aligns with the beliefs of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, strategically targets young individuals to draw them into its fold.
The leader during most of Nick's tenure was Jermaine Grant, who later faced charges for church-related financial schemes. Although Grant pleaded guilty, he passed away from COVID-19 before sentencing. Throughout his time in the church, Nick devoted countless hours to "volunteering" in various capacities, often at the expense of his family life. The rigorous demands left him with barely enough time to sleep, adhering to the leader’s directive that four hours of sleep per night was optimal.
The Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ has numerous locations in major cities along the East Coast of the U.S.
Nick provides a detailed account of the church's doctrines, the profound impact on his personal and family life, and the internal dynamics that shaped his experience.
In this episode, Nick also shares his current beliefs and how he has rebuilt his life post-cult. His story is a powerful testament to his resilience.
Tune in as Nick Johnson reveals the intricacies of life within the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, offering a rare and enlightening perspective on the challenges faced by those entangled in and eventually breaking free from cultic control.

Ep #19: Escaping the Shadows – An Interview with Lucia Muir, Former Jehovah's Witness
In this riveting episode, we sit down with Lucia Muir, a former member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, who was born into the organization and endured a harrowing journey of abuse, trauma, and shunning. Lucia's story is one of repeated attempts to break free, only to be pulled back into the grips of the organization throughout her life.
Lucia shares her painful experiences, including childhood abuse by a family member. Tragically, when she sought help, both her parents and the church sided with her abuser, branding her a liar. This led to tumultuous teenage years where she found herself isolated and unsupported.
In an attempt to escape her dire situation, Lucia married at just 17, only to find herself in another controlling and abusive relationship. Throughout these struggles, Lucia also endured years of mistreatment by her mentally ill mother before finally leaving her oppressive environment.
Join us as we explore Lucia's incredible story of resilience and recovery. This episode is not just a testament to her strength but also a beacon of hope for anyone struggling to find light after the darkness of cultic control.

Cultimatum Ep#11: The True Concept of Twin Flames with Sarah
Like Laura, Sarah shares her knowledge about the real concept of Twin Flames and how TFU is making a mockery of the concept. Please bear with us as we migrate all the shows from Anonymous Andrew to Cultimatum!
Original Description:
Ep#30: Exposing TFU with Sarah
I invite a member of one of the Facebook groups that support the families, ex-members, and friends of people who are still in the cult. As promised, I am doing an in-depth investigation into TFU, supporting the people who have been affected by this disgraceful organization. Today's guest shares her story of her Twin Flame relationship and how it is nothing like what is promised by TFU. If you or anyone you know would like to be part of this journey of exposing TFU further, please contact me. You can also join the Facebook groups: Escaping Twin Flames Discussion Group & Twin Flames Universe Exposed, where there are thousands of members supporting those who are family members cut off from their sons and daughters still in the cult, and anyone who got out.
I would like to thank Anonymous Sarah for sharing her story. She cannot be contacted, hence the anonymity!
