Japanese Governments act for the benefit of its *COUNTRY,*
While the Koreans would rather sell their own country for their *OWN BENEFIT.*
See the difference?
So what Japan Gov. do with the church?
@BaekduMountain Tiger I emphasize on KOREANS, which North Koreans Count.
Don’t try to cover the Koreans and your profile name isn’t helping to cover your actual nationality, mr korean
A church should never have that much power over a country. Never.
I’m not a Christian, but I think you just see this case from the wrong perspective. If Christian has a power to top over a country, then so what? They will only be a Christian country. No big deal.
I’m saying it in the same way or manner just like Muslim, or liberalist, or democratist. Of course they can change a country if they have power and support their agenda.
@Bonar *wierd
@Anton Nb it doesn’t matter bro. They can have whatever ideology.
If this isn’t a cult, I don’t how what is.
Criminal Organization
the united states government needs to shut down scientology. the unification church is also bad
yeah if you see the leader face in every corner and the leader is dressing funny, it’s just a gigantic red flag
It amazes me that the Moonies are still a going concern (as a cult) after all these years.
People are really Dumb
Is Japan not a Bhudist country?
Europeans really did a number on them also the church started in Korea which has a massive Christian population due to missionary imperialism .
It’s atheist country
🇫🇷🇪🇺Traditional and historically the main two religions have been Shinto and Buddhism but these days like others parts of the world many in Japan today are atheists and after China it is one of the countries with largest populations of atheists in the world as far as I know.✌🏼
To describe countries by religion groups is a form of international apartheid.
Unification church is not Christian and has nothing to do with Christianity.
All Mainstream churches believe Jesus as their Messiah and Lord and Savior Whereas UNIFICATION CHURCH Believes that its founder SUN MYUNG MOON is the REAL Messiah and Not Jesus, therefore it is not Christian and therefore its a cult
This must be effect of assassination of Shinzo Abe who had good ties with unification church leader. The assassinator did wrong by killing him and there is no justification to it. But his reason could not be completely considered void due to the fact that his mother was bankrupted by intense persuasion of this so called church. I like reiterate that i am in no way supporting the act of the assassinator. This cult shouldn’t have influence in the govt in the first place and glad the Japanese PM has taken the right decision.
Cults should be closed down and the leaders put in jail
@oneviwatara in the Republic of Ireland they are classed as a cult
@Asher Goldman Rochchild
They still have a Churches in Ireland though like I said you can’t just arresting hundreds of millions of people and put them in jails it would be a nightmare for the country the best thing to do is to dismantle the church itself.
@oneviwatara they are beating up and robbed here
Could you please make a report about another loathsome cult. It is supremacist , has death penalty for apostasy and was brought to this world by a disgusting pedophile prophet who married a six year old girl and consummated the marriage when she was nine.
obviously the Japanese mind is organically addicted to the need to be a slave to a cult , Japan is a 1000 year project in brain-washing and this monstrosity of a “religion” is the current manifestation , for any culture to survive and not exist in eternal chaos , brain-washing and conformity and obedience are essential , but when is it too much and toxic
The plot thickens
They have a messiah in America called Trump. He is always asking for donations. My home was raided by thugs donate now. People believe the lies he spews from that fat mouth of his . lol
so abe’s grandfather and half (10/20) of the Fourth Abe Cabinet had connections to the Unification Church. the cult has that much power…
The weirdest part was that this church was founded in South Korea which considering Japan’s dislike for Koreans is pretty surprising that a Korean organization can have this much support in Japan.
Last days ➡️Revelations 22v11 Amen 🙌🏾
death penalty for tetsuya.
🇫🇷🇪🇺It’s quite surprising this church had that much influence in the country considering their aren’t many Christians in Japan and Christianity is a minority religion in the country the traditional and historical main religions being Shinto and Buddhism with allegedly many people actually being atheists and after China one of the countries with the highest atheists globally.✌🏼
just because they have church….doesnt mean they’re christian. Scientology has church too.
@Simply Yellow 🇫🇷🇪🇺I understand and point taken and interesting perspective I take it your an Russian orthodox Christian?
@Star Moon No. Muslim from indonesia.
@Simply Yellow 🇫🇷🇪🇺Ohh I thought or assumed you was Russian because you displaying the Russian flag.😊✌🏼
@Star Moon I put russian flag out of russian war euphoria. Now youtube won’t let me change it.
Oh my gosh, what a shocker. I had no idea this church group had infiltrated so far into Japanese society! I’d like to find out what the attraction is to Japan $ Japanese.
I was approached in Seattle years ago by Moonies to attend a dinner & information session. I declined due to an appt. but remember the feeling of warmth and community in the invitation. I later found out more, that the Unification Church uses cult practices to pressure & recruit new members.
This news is similarly shocking to finding out that so many U.S. police officers are involved in white supremacy organizations.
This should be heavily scrutinised in India I have become indirect victim of this people.
Exactly
In north India church have very little power
Sir. Not just this movement. Please check for other elements where donations make suffer people. A pandemic like covid has made vulnerable too much families. When this unification church was founded the fund to cure covid was not needed which is needed now.
The guy who killed the Prime Minister of Japan was obsessed with this church
Not really. His mother was. He claimed his mother was donating their entire life savings to this church which brought financial hardships to his family which he despised.
This reminds me of a more extreme version of the guy in Lebanon who took hostages in a bank to get back the money they stole from him because he wanted to pay for his father’s medical bills 🤷♂️ Can you imagine your mother gets indoctrinated into a cult just like Scientology they steal money from her but almost a million 🙄 $700,000 then on top of that you realize that same cult is extremely influential in the country you live in and even the leaders have connections to the same cult 🤦♂️ Forcing people to be an extreme unfair situation’s will lead them to do extreme things ✅☯️
Japan is doomed,much like Cartel runs Mexcio, Japan is run by religious fanatics and political mafias
thanks god, i’m an atheist.
That’s either the spaguetti monster or the rainbow giragffe.
Thank God for that…wait what?
Your comment really doesn’t sum up a meaning
Wow.. I read that it had caused around a billion dollar of financial damages, throughout more than three decade of it’s operation in japan. It was collected through coerced donation and fraudulent spiritual sales, which brings about many victims of financial and lives. If it’s true, it’s mind-blowing that the Japanese government let it be like that, it’s like they don’t care about their citizens at all.
wow! iglesia ni cristo, dating daan, jesus is lord, benevolent etc. baka naman!!!!! yang mga kulto na yan ang kumukuha ng pera ng mga pinoy na dapat ay nagbahayad ng tax pero ginagamit ang salita ng diyos para lang magpayaman at higit sa lahat nangingialam sa takbo ng politika ng bansa, pero kpag ang simbahang katolika ang nagsalita regarding politics eh separate daw ang church sa govt.! KINANGINA YAN!
YES!!! As an ex-Moonie, I can say without a shred of doubt that this organization is evil and must be eliminated.
Spread the word
Did they(U.C.) robbed all the money from you?
@Comma would you be on my podcast?
Glad to hear you stopped eating the dung
@JAGDPANTHER 222 When I was young, I was taught that I had to pay hundreds of my parent’s dollars to liberate my ancestors and exorcise the evil spirits from my body. I wasn’t robbed perse, but now that I’m no longer brainwashed, it sure feels like it.
Soon the christians gonna rule the world as predicted before anti christ arrival and Jesus pbuh descend. Every muslim and learned christians knows about it…terrible war is coming soon. May Allah save us all.
Japan is peaceful because there is no peaceful victim card playing community which attacked Salam Rusdi 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Google karke dekh Lindu
We’ll who’s playing victim when we all see the God to answer everything what we’ve done. Just want to emphasise from now…Don’t blame your parent,your leader or community.
There are many, many evil religious groups in Korea. They demand money and threaten to punish them if they don’t believe in the god they created! In Korea, there is a lot of corruption in politics, law, business, religion, and everything is a warehouse of corruption.
F KOREA
March 16th 1978 New York Times.
March 15‐A House Investigating subcommittee today released intelligence reports asserting that the Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church was founded by a director of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, Kim Chong Pil, as a political tool in 1961.
Catholic Christianity and Islam both r hard-core monotheist dogmatic beliefs system. They destroy & destruction thousand of ancient cultures & traditions. Both r done multiple religious genocides.
Now the church operates like a corporation exploiting the people economically, mentally and bodily.
Enemy of the people in disguise.
The end of spiritual harlot is imminent ,Revelation chapter 17:15-17.
I have no connections to the church as far as I know.
Huh?
I get the motive behind the statement but it sounds like covering his tracks to be honest.
No, its actually pretty honest. Sometimes u have so many conections that u really don’t know if any of them makes indirectly related to an organuzation.
As far as I know is the best answer unless u want first to meddle in all ur conections and investigate every single one of them which in tern would make u unpopular among said conections.
Same should be done with all cults and religions that take money from followers or push them to donate with the promise of getting rewards in the afterlife or being punished if they don’t pay.
Catholic?
@Simply Yellow at least Abrahamic religions function in this way
@Sumiben Not all
@Simply Yellow they might not get your money specifically but they get to control your mind to follow their nonsensical rules and claims
What is the difference between a cult and a religion?
Religion came from God.
And cult from a human being just like us.
Nothing.
Wow ,
japan politician support unification church because they want to fix japanese population decline. japan politician want more japanese baby
Japanese politicians following Korean religious leaders . That’s quite an incredible set up.
This weird church might explain why the guy that took out former PM Shinzo Abe. This organization has significant impact on Japanese politics and society. It’s a possibility.
Christian,muslim Abrahamic mukto world
In democratic countries, politicians need tons of money for election. When they need money, they can easily been influence by donors like cult leaders. That’s why when some people said democracy is the best system, wise people will their roll their eyes.
Not religious and I think Japan should ban Christianity, just like they did in the 16th century. 👍
seem like japan need to rebann christanity again 💀
Japan has been attacked by usa the christian missionaries why they are converting
I speak as a Japanese. The cult behavior of the Unification Church has been a social problem for more than 30 years, but the govt has turned a blind eye. They still say nothing about Soka Gakkai International, another cult. This is what happens when cultists infiltrate officials.
Watch your vote, guys.
oh man this is serious. Why is nobody talking about this? this is the beginning of The rise of the One world religion.
THIS IS A TRIGGERED OF RIP SHINZO ABE.
When truth is stranger than fiction.
I’m sure Kim Il-Sung is laughing from the grave.
This is aaa very bad news of xi awa
多様な宗教を守るためにも、こういうカルトは禁止にすべき。
こんな団体認めてたら、どんな犯罪グループも宗教といえば許されることになる。
That man is a hero. How do you think he felt watching his mother throw her life away for that damned church.
This is pure scam….in the name of jesus,they are looting people
Gotta stop eating the dung
82 Japanese lawmakers in the parliament are members of unification church..😅😅😅
There is something weird about that cult……..
Please stop exaggerating things for viewership. There was not “huge growth in Japan since the 60s. I would know because I was born and raised in Japan. They’ve only become an issue recently, and many people didn’t even know such a religion existed.
I thought Japanese hate anything Korean? but they fell for this?
There was remnants of christianity during the amakusa rebellion. It’s actually pretty widespread there.
