Anonymous asked: I know blogs and tumblrs arent the best way to get advice, but heres a shot, My bf of over a year was born into this, its constricting and making things horrid for him, yet hes still devoted, im not asking about making him leave or anything, I guess i'm just trying to see if theres anything I could do to at least make things easier. Also i'm curious, what happens when one decides to leave? I only care about his best interests, and something is telling me that this "generation" blood line thing isnt one of them..
One thing I’d do is ask him a question the blog presents:
- Rev. Moon is the Messiah and is in direct dominion with God…
-If he was in direct dominion with God, why did he have sexual unions with members? (this post talks about it)
-Moon’s hypocritical lifestyle is very obvious and his motivation is not to bring “one family under God”. (this post talks about it)
In general, I’d show him the blog and I’d ask him how he feels about the issues going in the church. I understand you do not want him to leave or distance himself from the church, but it’s very difficult to stay faithful as a member and be in a relationship with somebody outside the church. If he wants to keep his lineage “pure”, he cannot stay with you.
The process of leaving is different for everybody. Some no longer believe but are active and many even marry other members who lack faith in Rev. Moon. Others slowly distance themselves from the church while others go cold turkey and cut themselves completely. Your boyfriend, who I assume has a lot of friends because of his devotion, may have a hard time disconnecting from the church. But I’d present the inconsistencies, contradictions, and hypocrisies of the movement and encourage him to do the what he feels and believes is right.
