and somehow someway something changed our daughter um so one of the questions is are you okay I am great I'm actually way more than [Music] okay at the center of what some are calling a cult is the seven Mountain mandate also known as 7M a Conservative Christian Movement used as a strategy for evangelizing the modern world through what they call the seven Mountain prophecy the seven spheres or mountains stand for what they seek to control and transform the seven spheres are family religion education media entertainment business and government the notion behind the Mandate is that by transforming each of the seven spheres you can bring change to society and the world as a whole some have said that seven mountain man mate sometimes drifts into the realm of dominion theology the belief that the god of Christianity desires Christians to rise to power and govern the nation according to biblical precepts the seven Mountain mandate has gained popularity among some charismatic and Pentecostal churches and was allegedly taught and honored at shikina church which is owned and pastored by a man named Robert Shin shikina church is a tax-free religious organization that opened in the Los Angeles California area in 1994 after Robert moved from Canada according to an old version of his website Robert described himself as a former medical doctor who changed his life after hearing the voice of God but Robert is allegedly no regular pastor and his current businesses and finances may prove that but more on that later right now we're going to take a look at a few famous ticktockers who are part of Robert's alleged cult and working under his management company 7M films as well as the accusations against Robert and the dancers by the families who have been disconnected and a former lawsuit by an ex-member of Robert's Church who in court records accused Robert of Mind Control coercive persuasion and taking over her email passwords and bank accounts to pay for his family's entertainment living expenses medical bills tuition and more Miranda and Melanie wiling were born born and raised in Detroit Michigan to Dean and Kelly wiling Miranda was born on February

theater high school for 9th through 12th grade students the school's website States that the first year of study is dedicated to a sampling of fundamental knowledge skills and terminology related to drama dance and technical theater in the following years students continue to build on those basic skills while pursuing Advanced opportunities in areas such as acting costume design and construction dance and choreography lighting design Scenic design and construction scene painting and sound design students and staff produce mainstage Productions of full length plays dance concerts and musicals although the school is accredited some Google reviews have been less than flattering with their parents support fully behind them Miranda and Melanie had Big Dreams of becoming professional dancers one day after Miranda graduated high school in 2016 she followed her dreams of moving to LA to become a performer and meet other dancers she moved alone and soon landed a gig as an instructor at the international Dance Academy in Hollywood only one year later Melanie decided to finish her senior year online so she could move to LA too in 2017 Maranda and Melanie got a place together exploring the city and starting a social media account together called the wilking [Music] sisters [Music] this joint Tik Tok account quickly took off on social media after they started sharing videos of them dancing together in and around La when not teaching courses in hipop Funk and jazz dance across different Studios the sisters attended popular events like VidCon the Tik Tock Gala and entered dance competitions to build their brand and earn extra money hi happy holidays everyone happy holidays we are so festive today is going to be a super fun day because we are home in Michigan we are going to

are we putting this on the car yes yay we also have blankets to cover up with I know we're so cozy and the Christmas lights begin we are at the next house with lights this one cracks us up so obnoxious every time okay here it is oh my gosh yay we had so much fun that was awesome we're back home and we just want to wish you a merry Christmas and happy holidays we love you guys so much and we will see you on Sunday but in early 21 Miranda the oldest of the two met a few creators who were part of what's been called a Creator house a Creator house sometimes called a collab or content house is a residential property which is most commonly used by internet celebrities social media influencers or content creators in order to provide a focus on creating content for social media platforms such as YouTube Tik Tok and Instagram creator houses like the hype house are largely popular among influencers as it allows them to live together in mansions and create content for social media under one management agency individually it allows them to grow their followers but it also allows these young creators to gain influence by collaborating and cross-promoting on each other's social accounts and this isn't a small thing according to Forbes the highest paid influencers on Tik Tok made 55.5 million in 2021 which was a 200% increase from what they made in 20 with most of the money coming from Brand sponsorships because of their Fame on the app some of the top Tik Tok creators have been able to Branch out with their own TV shows brand deals music and acting careers Miranda became fast friends with the Creator she met and being The Talented dancer she is she was invited to join the Creator house known as 7M at the time the 7M house was filled with well-known social media influencers like concrete B Dash Kylie Douglas Aubrey Fischer Kaylee gray Vic white and many more dances are filmed by these creators every day and each dancer allegedly makes a percentage of what is paid by sponsors to the management company 7M films that management company is owned and operated by Robert shin and his family the dancers have had several large sponsors including Sony turbox Inuit and more 7M house members were often seen filming in major areas of LA and by working under a management company instead of for herself Miranda was supposed to have an opportunity to work on bigger and better projects thus expanding her online presence the 7M group has filmed videos on Broadway in beach houses across the United States and even at the Staples Center in LA from the outside it seemed like a group that could help Miranda grow the personal brand she always dreamed of alongside some of her closest friends but her sister and family would have a very different story to [Music] tell there are two sides to every story The Following will be what the wilkin's family has stated publicly about Miranda and 7M films but we will also look at what Robert shin and Miranda had to say about her family and the accusations against 7M not long after joining the 7M house Miranda's family claimed to notice a change in her life she stopped posting and dancing with her sister Melanie and spent most of her time with the other dancers in the 7M house Miranda spent her days filming with the dancers and her family claimed she made little time to speak with them if at all Miranda's parents claimed to have first noticed changes early in 2021 when she had only been with the 7M team for a few weeks the Wilkins family had faced the sudden loss of of Melanie and Miranda's grandfather and at this time when the family needed to be together both sisters planned to fly back to Michigan together to spend time with their loved ones and attend their grandfather's funeral it was a difficult time for everyone and their parents were looking forward to their daughters coming home but only 30 minutes before their scheduled flight Miranda called her parents to tell them she wouldn't be coming home they claim Miranda told them she had coid and couldn't travel but Melanie said she was suspicious of this since they had both come down with the illness a month prior and she found it unlikely Miranda was sick with it again after speaking with her sister Melanie claimed Miranda admitted she wasn't sick but that she couldn't come and her family wouldn't understand the real reason she said Miranda then gave no further explanation by this point her parents had already been out of contact with Miranda for weeks and this sudden change of plans didn't sit right with them they weren't exactly sure what what this new business she was working for was really like but they believed it was asking for more of Miranda's time than they thought reasonable it's also been alleged in court filings by former 7M dancers and reported by Rolling Stone that Robert Shin controlled his church members lives and asked them to give large amounts of money to him worried about Miranda and what she might have got herself into or allegedly been recruited to her parents decided to step in and see what they could do by flying out to California to meet Miranda in person they wanted to see for themselves what was going on and once they arrived her parents claimed Miranda appeared withdrawn and defensive a stark contrast from the daughter they once knew her parents once described her as bubbly and welcoming but now said she was guarded and shared very few details about her new life they also claimed she stormed off from them and shortly after that meeting Miranda cut off all her friends and family even blocking her grandmother from her social media accounts Miranda then deleted every picture and video on her Instagram including the ones of her dancing with her sister and on April 11th of 2021 she uploaded a video of her changed physical appearance in which she had cut her long brown hair into a short blonde bob her dance style also changed from her favorite style of hip-hop to include more mature styles with music from Frank Sinatra the bgs and more she began performing with the 7M crew not only for their social media accounts but at special events around La then to her parents and sister shock she changed her name on social media from Miranda wilking to Miranda Derek known as B Dash James Derek was a 33-year-old dancer at the time who was also under 7M management he and Miranda worked together for the8 months she had been with a team before deciding to tie the knot their followers watched the engagement take place through social media media where B Dash interrupts a video to propose to Miranda just one month later they were married and no one from Miranda's family was invited her parents were noticeably upset about the marriage Miranda didn't involve them and even went on to block her parents phone numbers and social media accounts before moving to a location they weren't aware of this is when her parents and sister began to think something more serious was going on behind the scenes they thought Miranda may have been forced to cut cont since it was so different from her normal behavior they claimed to have once had a loving relationship but Miranda now acted as if her parents and sister didn't exist could this be a classic case of estrangement in which Miranda's family aren't respecting her boundaries or could it be something sinister on February 22nd of 2022 Miranda's family reached out to social media for help at this point they were worried Miranda was under somebody else's control unable to make her own decisions and forced to cut off her family Melanie used her social media platform to share a video of the three of them asking for others to tell Miranda to come back home and share the fact that she was not in charge of her own life anymore they said they believed Miranda was involved in a cult or being held captive against her will by 7M management so whatever she's involved in she's got some kind of control over her that is making her afraid of something and as anyone that knows our family knows how close we've always been and prior to her getting involved in this like religious group that she's involved in we never ever had a disagreement or an argument her and I so so here's a thing too Melanie also was going to this these Church things and everything and she realized the well we never really addressed that so I guess we're addressing it it Miranda is a part of a religious group and she's not allowed to speak to us they tried to get me involved I did go I did like it at first and then I realized there were numerous red flags that I could not ignore and knew that it was not something I wanted to be involved in and then as soon is I was telling Miranda you know these concerns that I had she would just you know oh you don't understand blah blah blah and if you guys know we we never fought Miranda and I were very strange we were attached at the hip we didn't fight about anything and then towards the end as soon as I decided to lead this organization and Miranda decided to stay we were fighting constantly about this because I was like Miranda they're taking you they're going to they're going to try to separate us they're going to blah blah blah every single thing I said was going to happen and my parents said was going to happen happened and the thing is that b Dash was involved and he also we believe is a victim of this yes they open and lured in and now they think that's the only way is that the way they live that's the thing that's the thing that we've realized is Miranda James all these people that they are with they are not in control of their lives someone else is controlling their lives and they are all victims of this and it's it's so it would be so easy to just like forget about oh screw her you know like she she doesn't care about us anymore but we know that's not her she would would never ever block Grammy no Grammy and papa were everything and after Papa died to think that she wasn't attending his funeral and and he was like a second father to us it's not like we weren't close you to Grammy and papa every single day if not more than once a day so to not go to his funeral and he was like the number one supporter oh my gosh on his last day he was showing the nurse our Tik Tok videos and he facetimed us and was like and he was showing that you guys were on the billboard in New York City he was so proud and then Miranda is now blocked Grammy from everything and we're blocked from all our socials we're blocked from everything it's so hard because we've this has literally been going on for over a year but we haven't said anything because we always well we always had hope that she was going to come back that's why especially in the first few month we didn't want to embarrass her because and this is her second birthday now we've not been able to spend with her because this is so mindblowing I always tell people when I'll get together with people that we knew from before like we'll we'll do videos together or whatever and they're like what happened like where did she and I'm like I literally cannot make this up and and I say it and they're literally just like I don't know what to say right now and I'm like I know I don't either we and that's why it's been so hard to like even now I don't even know what we're saying like we probably aren't even making sense because it's she got married and we don't even know when she got engaged I don't know where I don't know who officiated the wedding I don't know who was in attendance so when people say oh congratulations and Miranda's wedding I don't even know anything about it and then we and that's why it's like social media can be such a crazy place because then I'll get messages where it's like oh you don't support your sister's marriage or you and I'm like I didn't even know about I didn't know about it and we're blocked so we don't see anything and so it's just no this is so real this is it doesn't yeah we just want Miranda back and don't know what to do I think that's that's why we're doing this is we don't know what else to do I think that's exactly what they they want is they want us to just go away because go away so they can just continue doing what they they don't know who they're mess they don't know who we've been beforehand they don't know how close we've been I know a person that came to our house this person came to our house and sat in our house for over 7 weeks during the pandemic and this is her husband now and said you have a very different weird family you're way too close and other people around us know the fact is we we know that people say that we are too close we're we're we're weird that way but we have a bond we have a bond that we wish upon other people that we can talk to each other no matter what and somehow some way something changed our daughter and no way in the world that a religious organization that we can't control has controlled her now once this video from the wilkings was shared online family members and Friends of other dancers under 7M management came forward to say they too believed something was going on because their love loved ones had also cut off contact or seemingly gotten married overnight some even made claims that their friends within 7M had suddenly turned very religious since joining the team this spread like wildfire on social media and All Eyes turned towards 7M to see what was really going on many people made claims that 7M was a cover for a Christian cult and was allegedly arranging marriages among their dancers and even forcing them to cut contact with anyone on the [Music] outside at the center of this controversy lies Robert Shin a man with a lengthy business past and interesting history in 2021 7M films was officially registered as a business in California owned and operated by Robert Israel Shin Robert is a former former medical doctor turned businessman and pastor of shikina Church many churches have an entertainment arm like choirs who film and record worship music and or have a wide selection of books and merch regardless if one agrees or disagrees with that it's not abnormal for Robert to run multiple businesses no matter how different they may seem what is strange however are the allegations that Robert's teachings at shikina church are rooted in something known as the seven Mountain mandate which is also allegedly being pushed to his employees in the 7M Tik Tock group as stated before the seven Mountain mandate is a conservative Christian Movement that categorizes the seven spheres of influence present in our lives today these seven spheres or Mountains Are Family religion education media entertainment business and government the notion behind the Mandate is that by making a change in each of the seven spheres you can bring change to the world as a whole former members of shakina church alleged this was taught and honored at Robert's Church some sources alleg the church and Robert have a lot of cash in a 2010 deposition by Robert shakina church had 70 members between the years of 2000 and 2008 70 members who donated a total of 4.7 million to the church in those 8 years alone it was also alleged that these members not only donated to the the church but to Robert himself as he allegedly taught others that he was the voice of God on top of this available documents also show that Robert was given nearly $300,000 in checks personally made out to him by the church congregation in October of 2007 alone is Robert just such a kind-hearted Pastor who moves his congregants to donate large sums of money to him or could there be something else going on behind the scenes some have speculated it's through operations hidden below the surface and the alleged mind control of people below him in March of 2023 Rolling Stone reported on an xmember of shakina church who is suing Robert shin and 7 m Rolling Stone reported quote according to the Cross complaint Shin exercised control over his church members lives and asked them to give large amounts of money to him he deployed deputies called mentors and sub mentors to exert control over their fellow church members these deputies did his bidding including collecting tithes from other members moving money from Members bank accounts instructing members where to live and instructing members on how to spend nearly every waking moment of their time according to the filing the cross complaint alleges Shin even interfered with members Healthcare claiming he sent members to a coid vaccine clinic where a shikina member working there pretended to shoot cross complaintants with the vaccine but just squirted it onto their arms end quote the $2.5 million Creator Mansion owned by 7M films boasts luxurious master suites film backdrops Grand fireplaces and an outdoor pool and spa areas the 7M creators live in the house together and use it as a backdrop for many of their high-end social media videos although Robert himself doesn't maintain a very active online presence he is sometimes photographed around Los Angeles living what appears to be a life of luxury he's been seen getting in and out of Bentley's and it's alleged that he also lives in the Creator Mansion owned by 7M films he is thought to own or operate 17 other entities and companies as well as shakina Church in a statement provided to The Daily Beast on behalf of 7 m films Miranda and her husband James Derek and the pastor of shikina Church a representative said while the Dereck were members of the church the business dealings of 7M films were separate from the church they they denied being a cult and equated the Wilkins claims against Miranda and the church as a family dispute saying quote Miranda Derek is a successful businesswoman and a loving wife and daughter who cares very much about her family while the recent portrayals of Dr Robert shin and 7M films has been wildly offensive and riddled with inaccuracies those false claims will not deter 7M from supporting moranda in whichever Endeavors she chooses to pursue next end quote it's time for Mario's Miranda and James Derek are a popular Tik Tock dancing couple who have been going viral for their dance moves [Applause] welcome how are you thank you oh that was great I love seeing couples dance together

right back Miranda's family strongly believes that Miranda would never cut off contact with them by herself and that outside factors are in play and clouding her judgment some have speculated her marriage to bash was allegedly arranged by Robert himself as that's an accusation ex-members have come forward with um yeah I mean I'm a very I'm a very private person obviously this is the first time going live on my account so um so one of the questions is are you okay I am great I'm actually way more than okay thank you for asking never felt safer um but yeah I mean there have just been a lot of lies uh being told just a lot of twisting of the truth um yeah I mean I just want to say that I have um I have spoken to my family this past year I actually just talked to my sister a week ago so there's that oh my gosh look presentable by looking back at the story from a few years ago we can see that the wilkings are not the only people to make accusations about Robert in 2009 a woman woman named Lydia Chung attempted and failed to sue Robert and shakina church for $4 million claiming they partook in activities like mind control overexerted influence coercive persuasion oppression and other intimidating tactics while she was a part of their group Lydia was also a member of One of Robert's older Church groups and alleged she felt she was being held captive by a cult against her will Lydia alleged Robert took over parts of her personal life such as her email pass passwords and bank accounts to pay for his family's entertainment living expenses medical bills tuition and more she also accused Robert of controlling her mind and forcing her to make decisions that were not in her best interest the judge ruled against her deciding Lydia acted of her own free will as an adult although the judge did add that Robert's Behavior was outside the norm and bordered on coercion coercive control can be used on anyone children adults Andor the elderly not just members of a cult coercive control is an act or a pattern of Acts of assault threats humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm punish or frighten their victim countries such as Denmark Spain France Hungary and Ireland have implemented specific criminal offenses for psychological violence or coercive control but at the time of this recording the United States unfortunately has no federal laws that cover coercive control the management team running the house may be part of the rising suspicions behind Robert's intentions as the 7M house is managed by Robert while his son Isaiah films and produces most of the online videos Hannah is the registered CFO and Robert's exwife Shirley is allegedly The house's attorney and finally Daniel Joseph is a director of the 7M videos as well as the registered Secretary of shakina church Daniel is also married to Robert's daughter Khloe who picks out music for the 7M videos all of these employees slam members allegedly work at or appear to be extremely interconnected with Robert's businesses and shikina church although multiple families have spoken out about what allegedly goes on behind closed doors with Robert 7M films maintains that their company is completely separate from shakina church and that the members within their Entertainment Group are not associated with the religious Holdings they also claim that their dancers are not forced to be members MERS of the church and can leave the group on their own accord and that dancers are not forced into any religion Robert is currently being sued by ex dancers and talent from the 7M films management agency and Shina Church according to reports three dancers Aubrey Fisher green Kylie Douglas and Kevin concrete Davis have joined four other complaintants in accusing Robert of owning a cult and recruiting members through his entertainment Empire they claim he takes advantage of his followers not only through 7M films but through shikina church and the multiple other companies under his control these 3x dancers are suing on very similar accounts to what Miranda's family believes she is going through Aubrey fiser green a Crump street dancer with over 2 million Tik Tok followers was brought into the church group by a friend in 2020 before starting to work for 7M a few months later the lawsuit filing alleges 7M quickly took control of his business noting that Robert had church members set up a corporation under his name and assigned someone to do his taxes Aubrey also alleges Robert collected money on his behalf and even sometimes took up to a 20% cut before giving Aubrey his rightful earnings Robert has also allegedly applied for coid Relief funds under his dancer's name collecting filings that went towards himself according to Rolling Stone the filing claim 7M took money from Aubrey through several other avenues he was stiffed $6,000 for a song promotion project in April 2022 according to the filing and he was charged High fees for videography by other shikina members it also alleges he donated more than 10% of his income to shikina at Robert's encouragement Aubrey tells Rolling Stone shikina members were taught the more you give the more you receive the cross complaint States quote towards the end of his time with shakina Aubrey started to feel a sense of emptiness and like Robert and others in shikina work keeping secrets he left the church and stopped working with 7M in August of 2022 Aubrey and Kevin both claimed they were not banned from speaking to loved ones outside the church but that it was heavily discouraged they State they were mocked for visiting family members and were always urged to clear their entire schedules for the church former 7M dancer Kylie Douglas alleges in the filing that when she visited family for holidays or other occasions her Mentor in the church told her in front of other members that she was quote sucking on her mama's titties end qu the filing claims Kylie's Mentor also constantly urged her to clear her schedule for shikina and yelled at her when she insisted on having her taxes done for free by a family friend rather than paying a church member $200 to do them the filing also states that Robert yelled at Kylie and Aubrey during a church service because they had declined and offered to move into a rental house Robert owned stating quote he used Aubrey and Kylie as an example of members who were not properly submitted to shikina and God end quote in the filing Kevin concrete Davis claimed 7M took 20% of his brand deals after telling him they would only take 15 and that they failed to compensate him for choreographing a film for shikina church he also claims he gave 30% of his income to the church in donations and that he did construction work for the church on one of its properties work that he was never paid for a few months after joining Kevin grew uncomfortable with the church's policies and he left shakina and 7M in July of 2022 the three complaintants believe the 7M group relies on the religious institution run by Robert Shin to keep members locked into the group without the ability to leave Robert's attorney had not responded to several requests by Rolling Stone for comments but they have denied asserting influence over their dancers or taking advantage of them in any way they had been accused of it's clear that Miranda's family is not alone in their accusations Miranda has responded to the claims made by her family on her social media in an attempt to clear the air for her followers Miranda claims that although there was a change in her life when she first joined the group her version of events is nearly completely opposite to her sister's interpretation of it lawyers from 7M have also sent forward statements on behalf of the dancers according to them Miranda says the co 19 pandemic provided her a chance to reflect on her life and re-evaluate where she was at the time as well as her future wishes she claims that since she has had a chance to walk with her God in a serious way she has felt a spiritual shift within her that she is grateful for Miranda's statement spoke about starting to study the Bible and learn more about it and also stated she knows her friends and family have seen her change but that the life she is living Now is better than it was before and that this change was ultimately for the better on her social media accounts Miranda has posted messages to her audience claiming that she has never been asked to separate herself from her family and that instead she chose to change her own life on her own according to these posts moranda was going through a personal situation with her family she asked her followers to appreciate that she made the decision to cut contact with both her parents and her sister Miranda also claimed she wasn't happy when she was part of the wilking system 's brand and that she told her sister she would continue on their joint venture if she was given more say in the schedule and production according to Miranda she wanted more control and an equal partnership rather than being controlled by her sister she has also claimed she wanted more time to spend with her now husband and more time to study the Bible wisdom will save you from evil people from those whose words are twisted these men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths they take pleasure in doing wrong and they enjoy the Twisted ways of evil in all Miranda's explanation for her life change is that she's now living the life of her dreams it simply took her a while to make the changes needed to get there her family continues to believe this is impossible to be true and that there are Sinister forces at hand Miranda's story is still playing out and at the moment there is no Pro proof of wrongdoing or mind control but some believe Miranda is not acting like herself Robert is still being criticized by previous employees for what they claim he did to their life and at the time of this recording the lawsuit is ongoing if the word of the complaintant is true Miranda could be a current victim of a cult-like scheme meant to turn her into a money-making asset while isolating her from friends and family this is what cult experts sometimes refer to as commercial Cults in a Comm commercial cult greed is the name of the game and victims are deceived and manipulated by people to work for little or no pay in the hope of getting rich or achieving whatever their dreams may be a multi-level marketing company AKA MLM or a pyramid scheme is the perfect example of a commercial cult where members are coerced through the company's CEO and flying monkeys also known as their right-hand men these bright-eyed and willing recruits become indoctrinated through the company's book back office material and constant schedule of meetings team Gatherings and one-on-one time with their Mentor or sponsor to believe that the company they've joined could be the vehicle to get them where they want to go whether that's their dream of getting out of debt becoming a homeowner or living a glamorous influencer like life Etc but to drive that vehicle where they need to go and not get lost down a path full of stops and distractions recruits need to cut out family friends and anyone who may question their Newfound dreams and goals as that could hurt the entire organization these victims believe all their sacrifices and hard work will be worth it and turn around and recruit other victims thus becoming perpetrators and the cycle is repeated over and over again down the pyramid at the end only a few at the very top walk away unscathed could Robert Shin just be a hardworking businessman and Pastor who is highly successful in his religious and entertainment organizations someone who is perhaps fortunate to have such great relationships with his family to the point they're happy and willing to work for him is Miranda's family majorly overstepping her boundaries by putting their family estrangement online and not letting her be is her sister perhaps jealous of her Newfound career and success could the dancers be thankful they found a One-Stop shop for Success faith and friendship or from another perspective could Robert be at the top of his own commercial cult with his family members as his right-hand men and his money-making assets the dancers beneath them could he be providing them with everything they need Faith food clothing shelter consistent work that comes with its own tax help and accounting as long as they do what he wants could the group's Recruitment and indoctrination tactics be found in shikina church in which the dancer's faith is manipulated to further the goals of Robert and 7M could prospects be invited to shakina church by 7 M's dancers in hopes of recruiting them these are all questions I hope eventually get answered if keep in mind I am stating if what the wilking family is saying is accurate their desperate attempts to reunite with their daughter strongly remind me of Katherine oxenberg's fight to rescue her daughter India from the dangerous Cult of Nexium in which she was recruited by actress Allison Mack who was directly under cult leader Keith reri if you want a deep dive into that wild story be sure to check out my documentary titled the rise and fall of Alison Mack as for now Melanie claims she continues to reach out to Miranda as she and her family believe her beloved sister is being held captive both sisters are still influential public figures but now on very different roads and without the original heartwarming touch the wilking sister's account relied on Robert shin and 7M films have denied all the allegations against them and any wrongdoing to the media this story has many moving parts and isn't over yet I'm interested to know what you think Below in the comments if you like learning about cults scams and cautionary tales be sure to like And subscribe to
