What kind of organization is the "Unification Church" that surfaced after the assassination of Shinzo Abe?

The motive for the shooting of Abe suspect and 41-year-old former maritime self-defense member Toruya Yamagami was further revealed. The Japanese police revealed to the media that Yamagami's resentment towards a "religious group" turned into killing intent against Abe.


  On the afternoon of July 11, the Japanese branch of South Korea's "Unification Church" held a press conference, acknowledging that the "Unification Church" was related to the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, saying that Toruya Yamagami's mother was indeed his believer.



 So is the "unification religion", the "religious group" in the mouth of the Japanese media really a religious group? What is its real face?

  The Evil Acts of the "Unification Church"

  "Unification Church", formerly known as "World Christian Unification Spirit Association", later changed its name to "World Peaceful Unification Family Federation", originated in South Korea, headquartered in the United States, and its founder is Sun Myung Moon.


Moon Myung-myung, formerly known as Moon Long-myung, was born on February 25, 1920 in a peasant family in Dingju County, North Pyongan Province, North Korea. When he was 10 years old, the whole family believed in the "Christian Presbyterian Church".

  - Deify the image, cover up the sin

  Moon Myung said that he was inspired by the so-called "Jesus" when he climbed a hill at the age of 15, and since then he is determined to save all mankind. Moon Myung also changed his name from "Long Ming" to "Clear", claiming that he would make the world "Clear".

  Since then, Moon Myung has become a "messenger of Christ", and later, he claimed to be the incarnation of Jesus and came to the world again, and said boldly: "I am greater than Jesus himself."

  It was this married "Messenger of Christ" who forcibly married a female believer Kim in Pyongyang, North Korea. He was reported by Kim's husband and sentenced to five and a half years in prison for bigamy. In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Moon Myung Sun sought an opportunity to flee to South Korea. On May 1, 1954, Moon Myung Sun established the "Unification Church" in South Korea, and the sign initially hung was "Association for the Unification of the Spirit of the Christian Churches in the World".

  In 1960, 40-year-old Moon Myung and 17-year-old Han Hezi married, claiming to be a "holy marriage".


Moon Myung and his wife are called "the true father of the universe" and "the true mother of the universe" by believers in the "Unification Church", and they are worshipped by believers.

  - "Mass Wedding", absurd farce

  Moon Myung Sun often used the "72-hour preaching method" under the guise of teaching teachings to lock beautiful female believers in his living room and forcibly seize the virginity of female believers. He claimed that in order to be saved, a person must accept the pure bloodline of the second advent Christ, Moon Myung-myung, that is, a "blood switch" with him through sexual relations; whoever maintains a physical relationship with him can give birth to a savior, and Moon-myung also carries The devotees had a collective fornication, claiming that having sex with someone of pure blood was a great duty for personal salvation and the salvation of mankind.

  The most notorious of the "Unification Church" is the "mass wedding", that is, "marriage". The marriage of these brides and grooms is all randomly designated by Myung Moon. They marry not for love, but for the purpose of bearing so-called "no original sin" children and fulfilling the mission of expanding the "world of gods".


  On June 5, 2017, the "Washington Post" published an article by Carla Jones, reporting that she was designated by Moon Myung Sun to be a "mate" and participated in a "Unification Church" mass wedding, spending 16 years of loveless marriage .


 Make-up artist Lani Barry grew up in a family that believed in the "Unification Church". His parents were deeply influenced by the leader Moon Myung Sun, who was appointed by Moon Myung to marry through "marriage". Such a union has not brought happiness and joy to the family and children. Lanny Barry was deeply distressed and tired of the harm caused by the "Unification Church" to herself and her family at an early age. Unification Church", she later wrote an article about her mental journey and published it on a women's voice website.

  - Bewitching believers, bad deeds

  Sun Moon University, founded by the "Unification Church" in 1972, has professional disciplines such as theology, humanities, and electronics. It used to carry out educational cooperation between colleges and universities as a cover to deliberately infiltrate colleges and universities in my country to lure Chinese teenagers into teaching.

  What is especially terrifying is that some believers have gone to a dead end under the bewitchment of their fallacies and heresies. On the afternoon of August 22, 2013, three Japanese believers of the Unification Church set themselves on fire in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, causing one death on the spot and two serious injuries. Two days later, August 24th is the July 18th of the lunar calendar, which is the 1st anniversary of Moon Myung's death.


During the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020, the "Washington Times", a media affiliated to the "Unification Church", hyped up the rumor that "the new coronavirus came from the Wuhan laboratory", which had a bad impact.

  ——Crazy accumulation of money, oppression of believers

  Moon Myung told believers that newcomers must bring at least three people to join the "Unification Church" in order to become "devotees". The "devotees" need to donate money and materials, work for free, and are also assigned sales tasks - selling flowers, ginseng tea, honey and other items to others at prices several times or even ten times their value.

  The "Unification Church" also fraudulently asked believers to contribute money and labor under the guise of pretense. Some capable believers also use human resources to help Moon Myung Sun open up the international market.

  In addition to the above-mentioned means of extraction, believers must hand over all income for the first three years after joining the church, and pay tithe after three years. The "Unification Church" tells believers that they can atone for their sins as long as they pay money or help the church raise funds.

  For example, the "21st Century Friends Association", a spin-off group of the "Unification Church", consists of about 30 believers. The organization requires believers to live together according to certain rules, and imposes fines and corporal punishment on believers. Believers are not only subject to mind control, they are also exploited for money and subjected to long-term violence.

  According to a report from Japan's "Nikkan Xie Cult News" (やや Nikkan カルト News) on December 15, 2015, "Unification Church" executives are frantically accumulating money, and believers "have been donating money to the church since childhood, even if they borrowed money." A Korean-American "Unification Church" believer who could not bear it, mailed a threatening package to the "Unification Church" high-level in Seoul, South Korea, and was arrested by the Japanese police.


Through various names, the "Unification Church" has amassed huge wealth; Moon Myung Ming invested the money in the fields of industry, commerce and finance, providing him with a steady stream of ill-gotten wealth to maintain a luxurious life.

  According to the "New York Times" report, Moon's children each receive as much as $9,000 a month in pocket money; they can even receive $40,000 a month after marriage. One of Moon's daughters likes to ride horses, so he spent tens of millions of dollars to build an equestrian center in the UK for his daughter to play.

  It was this "unification religion" that deceived Shan Shang's mother's life savings and rich family property, resulting in family breakdown and difficulties in life, and Shan Shang Toru also hated it.

  Moon Myung Sun died of illness in South Korea in September 2012, and the organization is currently divided into several factions.

  Is the Unification Church a religious group?

  The status of the so-called "religious group" of the "Unification Church" has always been questioned. As early as January 9, 1976, Robert Doyle, a member of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, wrote to the IRS, exposing that the Unification Church was not a purely religious organization, but a mind-control organization whose main purpose was to seize wealth and power; Myung Moon personally lived a luxurious life with wealth donated by his followers. Therefore, the Unification Church should not receive tax exemptions for religious groups. The IRS investigates the Unification Church. In 1981, the U.S. Department of Justice found Moon and his gang guilty of tax evasion, conspiracy and perjury, and obstruction of justice, and sentenced Moon to 18 months in prison and a fine of $25,000, while denying that the Unification Church was a religious group.

  The Christian community in Japan considers the Unification Church to be a cult. In May 2017, the Japanese Christian News website published a feature article "How to Face Heresy and Cults? ". According to the report, the "Unification Church" teachings include mandatory service, mandatory donations, and the absolute power of priests, all of which are characteristics of cult groups. During the interview, the two pastors, including Mitsuki, believed that the "Unification Church" was a cult organization with a certain anti-ideological and anti-social movement nature.

  The "Unification Church" has been investigated and punished by many governments. In the late 1970s, some local governments in the United States began to investigate and punish the illegal behavior of the "Unification Church". In 1981 and 1982, Moon was accused of tax evasion and fabrication of false documents twice. In 1982, French police acted simultaneously in eight major cities including Paris, arresting more than 60 key members of the church. The governments of Britain, Germany, Norway and other countries also took precautionary measures against the church. On August 7, 2013, the Supreme Court of Kyrgyzstan upheld the judgment of the first instance and the retrial, prohibiting the activities of the "Unification Church of Moon Sunshine" in Kyrgyzstan. ".

  Regarding the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe related to the "Unification Church", China Anti-Cult Network interviewed Wu Weiqing, member of the Standing Committee of the National Christian Council, Director General and Vice President of the Beijing Christian Council, and Head Pastor of Haidian Church, on July 12.


Pastor Wu believes that although the members of the "Unification Church" call themselves "Christians" and use the banner of religion, in fact, what their leader Moon Myung-myung preaches does not conform to the basic teachings of Christianity. For example, the "Unification Church" regards the "Principles Lectures" (a collection of remarks by Moon Sunshine) as a classic, and replaces the status of the "Bible" with it, denies the belief in the "Trinity", and distorts the "Trinity" to be only "God's plan" , Myung Moon fabricated the plan as a union between God and Myung Moon (the true father) and the "true mother" (Myung Moon's wife, Han Haekzi). These are gross distortions of the basic teachings of Christianity. The "Unification Church" requires believers to donate a large amount of money, which is a means of strengthening its control over believers and cheating and accumulating money; Christian churches will not force believers to donate, believers donate donations completely voluntarily, and the church will remind believers to do what they can, and the church will receive donation income It is completely used for the church's own operation and social welfare activities. The so-called "Unification Church" founded by Moon Myung is not a religious organization of true faith, let alone a Christian organization, but an out-and-out cult organization. It is hoped that the general public and the majority of religious believers will be vigilant and pay attention to distinguishing.

  It can be seen that although the "Unification Church" is under the banner of Christianity, its various acts and the crimes behind it have been recognized by more and more people, and governments in many countries have also launched crackdowns on its illegal acts.

  This time, as the assassination of Shinzo Abe continues to ferment, the cult organization "Unification Church" has been pushed to the world and has become the focus of attention. Hope the general public can recognize it in time and be more vigilant.
