She Explains How She Was Lured Into Joining A Strict Religious Sect

Fifteen years ago, Ria says she was a vulnerable 19-year-old mother with a 15-month-old son, Javon. She says she joined a religious group called “1 Mind Ministries” to immerse herself in Christianity. Ria says the leader of the group, “Queen Antoinette,” demanded Ria’s child be starved after he didn’t say “amen” at the end of Grace. Ria says she wanted to save her son but the group’s leader ordered everyone else to closely watch Ria to make sure she didn’t give him food and water. Now 35, Ria says she’s never had the courage to tell her story until now. Find out what Ria says really happened when she shares about the mind control the religious leader had over her. Plus, Joy Fluker says she knows all about mind control because she grew up living with her mother, Anna Young, the leader of “House of Prayer.” In 2016, Joy says she felt guilty but knew it was the right thing to do when she called the police to report her mother. What did her mother do? Find out when Joy tells Dr. Phil it was the hardest thing she’s ever had to do. (20101)
