lovethelight asked: I'm a previously blessed couple. Husband and wife out of church now. I left 3 years ago. In those 3 years I have agonized over the lies being told to the 2nd gens. I tried but failed to tell them what I discovered. I wept constantly at the thought of their lives being handed over to SMM and his kids by their parents.
When I read this blog, which I found by accident, I found myself rejoicing in tears! I don't know who you are, it doesn't matter. I can't thank you enough for what you're doing! You have the guts to go with your convictions. I admire that with all my heart.

I too will follow your lead is keeping my identity hidden. I know some of the leaders can and will bring hardship to bear on some of my, still church member, friends.

I am so thankful to have received this message and it was a delight to all of the writers of the blog. We have over a hundred saved messages and cannot answer them all, but we continually give thanks to all our supporters and we are so glad we can help in some way. We want to help members sort out their understanding of the Church, personal beliefs, and help them come to peace of mind with Moon out of the picture. An unhealthy habit of many members is to dismiss the negative things about the UC or simply push it aside without critically thinking about the issue.

I can assure you, more and more Second Generation are leaving the UC and cutting off ties with this corrupt organization. This “revival” that In Jin is trying to launch is starting to be recognized by many folks as superficial and her hypocrisy is coming to light more and more. Of course, many BCs are continually walking in support of her ministry and believe in Moon despite knowing the facts of his affairs. Nonetheless, I have a feeling many of those kids who pledge allegiance to Moon now will realize the mess they are clinging to within the next couple of years. BCs, for the most part, are good-hearted kids who genuinely want to know the truth. But I suppose only time will tell.

Your story is inspiring to us and we’re so thankful for people left the UC despite the strong attachments to the community and the judgment that would come upon you by those you love dearly. Peace.
