At the top of Googles search trends today is the "Unification Church" and it's founder Sun Myung Moon. If that name sounds familiar you are right... The Unification Church is also known as the Moonies. So why is the Unification Church / Moonies and its' founder Sun Myung Moon in the news you ask? Well, Sun Myung Moon just held a mass wedding / "blessing" where he either wed, blessed or confirmed 20,000 people. The massive Unification Church gathering was held SUN MYUNG MOON - Founder of the Unification Church / Moonies
on the grounds of the Sun Moon University, which is about 100 km (60 miles) from Seoul Korea.One of Sun Myung Moon's sons, Hyung Jin, has taken over the day-to-day running of the Unification Church / Moonies Cult which has an estimated 5 to 7 million followers around the world.
The almost mainstreaming of Sun Myung Moon and his Unification Church / Moonies really hits home with me. Back in the 80's my brother was hitchhiking through California (I guess it seemed like the adventurous thing to do) and he was taken captive by the Unification Church / Moonies. It wasn't like he was grabbed off the street hoodwinked and stuffed into a van. No, he was taken in as a guest with what seemed like very moral and hospitable reasons.
The true mission of the Unification Church / Moonies was quickly revealed as the friendly nature of his hosts soon turned to Brainwashing and cohersion attempts. Since the Unification Church / Moonies relied on converting those with a bad family life, my Brother was one step up. He wanted to come back home. This is not go over well with the Unification Church / Moonies who went as far as to tell my brother they knew his family did not want him back.
In attempt to convert my brother to be a follower of the Unification Church / Moonies they tried several cohersion techniques including putting him in a hot box in the desert. Luckily for everyone my Brother managed to escape the clutches of Sun Myung Moon and his Unification Church / Moonies. The scary thing is, this happened on US Soil and things like this continue to happen every day.
To this day, my Brother does not really like to talk about his experiences with the Moonies or their Politically correct name "The Unification Church". I encourage those who have family members who have been captured by the Unification Church / Moonies to speak up. I would like this to become a public forum on the dangers of religious cults of any kind.
