  The World Mission Society Church of God, a cult from Korea

  by sherrie11 in

  i just had two disciples of this religion knock on my door.. "the church of god is a destructive cult portraying itself as a mainstream religion.

  by exploiting christian terminology and the bible, they are manipulating their followers to further the goals of the movement, namely money and power.

  a former seventh-day adventist, and self proclaimed messiah, ahnsahnghong founded the organization in korea in 1964. .

  "The Church of God is a destructive cult portraying itself as a mainstream religion. By exploiting Christian terminology and the Bible, they are manipulating their followers to further the goals of the movement, namely money and power. A former Seventh-day Adventist, and self proclaimed messiah, “Ahnsahnghong” founded the organization in Korea in 1964.
  
  After his death and subsequent ascension to heaven in 1985, Ahnsahnghong was succeeded by his spiritual wife Zahng-Gil-Jah; also known as Mother God, Heavenly Mother and New Jerusalem Mother. Members pray to her and are encouraged to visit Korea to pay her homage. Mother God is the core of their faith."

  The iPad shoved in my face at the door (first thing I saw) to entice me to a two minute presentation. It reminded me of what the witness's are trying to do now. From this personal experience of having the iPad shoved in my face i feel the JW's will not have much luck using it as a tool in their ministry. I immediately attempted to touch the screen to stop it.

  Has any one else come across this kinda copy cat to the JW's cult?

  It felt cheap!!

  What happened to the "Witness" part of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  i just got back from my afternoon walk/run and about a block from home i saw two sets of jw's going door to door handing out invites to the memorial.. the first pair walked past me and only said "good afternoon" as they passed.. about two minutes later the second pair approached me and handed me an invite to 2014 memorial on april 14. i asked them why they chose the jw's as their church of choice and was told "we'd like to chat more but we have a set number of invites we have to get out before the memorial.

  if you contact the kingdom hall listed here, they will tell you more... on how god's kingdom will rid the world of satan and the evil associated with him.".

  i replied "you can't talk now?".

  Regardless that this is a memorial invite the apathy prevalent in modern day witness's just consolidates my experience with the literature stands. Witness's knocked on my door I asked about the stands . the reply was "we are not like greenpeace or others we wait for people to approach us"

  Mariu I agree, in my day they were pro active...

  Thank you Gorby,

  She was so proud to sprout about her dad being imprisoned in Belgium for the 'truth'

  I picked up a few clues in regard to the 'sister'. She mentioned her dad was jailed in Belgium for anti war sentiments. What she was , was so ignorant about was the past teachings of pro-actively proselytising.

  Unflippabley unbelievable!!

  I hope i will be a return visit it certainly cured my nervousness when confronted by JW's.

  Who pays for the stand's?

  Maybe in the secret part of the JW.ORG site they supply the PDF file and say print them yourself.

  The modern JW is so different from the 1999's version.

  The 'sister' added 'well, in regard to our stalls we are not like greenpeace or others that approach you on the street. I said yeah I cross the road if i see them. The 'sister' replied ' yes we dont approach them we wait for them to approach us.

  WTF !!!!

  I thought the whole purpose of the witnessing work was for them to find every opportunity to approach people and preach the good news.

  it doesn't allow anyone to register.

  are they to scared of the feedback from those who know ' the truth about the truth'.

  it seems to me they should not even have a contact us function (especially if your main form of contact is email, which is the norm for 2013) who designed this thing................. are the elders and the privileged jw's sent their logon details... i would love to know the secret squirrel shite.

  I got a visit!! I registered on jw.org for a visit after completing the 'do you want a JW to visit your home?'.

  It took them three weeks. When they arrived on the Saturday morning around 10.00 am (as I designated) it was totally unexpected lol. So I yelled at my dog to shut up, she barks when ever anyone comes close to the house. I knew they heard me say this and answering the door or instead of hiding, I just continued with my day to day stuff. They only knocked a second time and then left. This was 2 weeks ago and feel I am not a return visit. I guess a literature stand is a lot easier . And the JW's assigned to my visit have responded to the requests for visits via their website. They can count the most important thing about their faith "time!!!"

  i have updated some of the graphs at http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/statistics.php and will do the rest tonight.

  ...'Similarly for why conversions are taking so many hours is that the preaching work is such a joke now, with people sitting in a park or mall for a few hours next to a literature stand ignoring everyone.'

  This is part of what makes me so frustrated. Its like they live in the now! Yet they preach about stuff written thousands of years ago and say its so relevant to now! They don't know the past carpetbagging technics. I walk past a stall ignored by the believers behind it every thursday of the week!

  Thank you JWFacts for the information. It's great to have feelings backed up with stat's that reassures one's mind set is in the right place.

  Dangerous Persuasions

  saw an episode of this series based on a ex member of the cult scientology.

  it was on the crime channel (ci) on pay tv known as foxtel here in australia.. i feel that this show could be a way to expose the shunning and mind control tactics of the wtbs.

  has anyone seen this series ?.

  What blew my mind was the frankness of the woman who was involved in this cult. The unshackled way she expressed in naming the cult and their practices..... lets face it scientology is pretty well known.

  Anyone willing to go there???

  What would you expose????
