Exposing Spiritual Abuse in the AHFI Cult: How They Twist Devotion to Control Members

Quick recap Ryan discussed spiritual abuse within the Alliance of the Holy Family International (AHFI), focusing on how the group manipulates religious concepts like discernment and obedience to control members. He explained how AHFI leaders use guilt and fear tactics, such as threatening curses on members who leave or fail to meet their prayer and task requirements. Ryan shared his personal experience of being told it was a sin to not complete the required number of rosaries, despite having other obligations. He emphasized that this form of spiritual abuse is not aligned with true Christian teachings and advised anyone in a similar situation to seek wisdom and consider leaving the group.

Ep. 121- Healing Hearts: Porsche The Communicator on Communication, Love, and True Relationship Healing

Guest Bio: (Taken from Porsche's Website) www.porscheangelcoaching.net Hi! I’m Porsche - A wife, artist, business owner and a mom to several fur-babies over the years. Although these titles have been a part of the dream I envisioned for myself, more than a decade of my life felt like a constant struggle to achieve what mattered most to me: Career fulfillment and love. I graduated with a BA in Communications, started a Masters in Teaching and had managed to climb corporate ladders only to receive subpar compensation and treatment. It also didn’t appear to matter how degreed or accoladed I was, as none of my awards, talents or resumes seemed to qualify me for a loving relationship with staying power. Prior to meeting my husband at age 35, I was a world-traveled musician, teacher, model and intern with a fortune 500 company… But, I was chronically single and frustrated with feeling undervalued.Dating options were subpar and the few relationships I found myself in were even more disastrous. Can you relate?With all I’d given to work and to people, I should’ve had more - More money and more love in my life. It truly wasn’t adding up. After so many years of silent desperation, I purposefully set out on a quest to change my life’s story. Being confused, lonely or upset was no longer an option. I went through therapy and worked with coach after coach to learn why I had been stuck in the twilight zone of disappointment… why I hadn’t been getting what I wanted in a partner and in my career. Like many, I didn’t have the parental modeling to show me what success was in either of these areas. In fact, I was shown the complete opposite. Growing up, I saw divorce, strained relationships and working hard to merely survive - I had been programmed to play out the same cycles! If this sounds familiar, you’ve likely been wired for similar outcomes too. But the biggest thing wasn’t just understanding how life ended up the way it did - It wasn’t enough to get a diagnosis alone. I had to know what to do about it. More importantly, I wanted to know who I needed to become in order to have the life and love I desired and deserved. My journey of discovery and transformation sparked a passion inside to see others experience the same things as well. For me, there’s no greater feeling than to realize and celebrate dreams coming true and making impact in the lives of those around me. It is through this work that I’ve been able to find and share my light. This is true love, purpose and fulfillment - Let me help you find yours.

When the Abusers Cry Persecution: Unmasking Religious Abuse in a So-Called Catholic Cult

In this solo episode, Ryan Anthony Hernandez discussed his thoughts on religious abuse and its relationship to spiritual abuse, sharing his personal experiences from being involved in a cult known as the Alliance of the Holy Family International. He explored how religious abuse can manifest through the misuse of scripture, doctrine, and authority to bully or harass members, contrasting this with the cult's perception of themselves as victims of religious persecution. Ryan shared a specific example from the Philippines where the cult fabricated stories of persecution to maintain control over members, highlighting the manipulative tactics used to create an "us versus them" mentality and isolate members from the outside world. He emphasized that while the cult leadership would likely claim to be victims of religious abuse based on his definitions, the reality was that they were the abusers using fear and deception to maintain power.If you would like to support my channel please consider:buymeacoffee.com/truththath7Thank you for all of your support and for helping to make this channel a reality :)

Exploring Religious Abuse

Ryan explored the concepts of religious and spiritual abuse, focusing primarily on religious abuse. He discussed how religious abuse involves using religious doctrines, scriptures, or authority to bully or harass others, often under the guise of helping or saving them. Ryan emphasized that while the abuser's intentions may seem good, the underlying motivation is often pleasure derived from exerting power or control. He also highlighted how religious abuse can occur not only through formal religious authorities but also by individuals within the laity who use religion to shame or humiliate others. Ryan concluded by stating that religious abuse is characterized by focusing excessively on rules and laws to the detriment of individuals' spiritual growth and that he is open to further discussion and potential changes in his understanding of these concepts.
