4: Laura Muir & Shincheonji Dave speaks with Laura Muir about the deceptive recruitment process that saw her devote five years to the Korean doomsday church Shincheonji, founded by Lee Man Hee who claims to be an apocalyptic prophet. Laura reflects on her time in the church as an evangelist and the process of discarding her former beliefs and moving forward.

*Sorry for bringing up politics.* But religious freedom should not interfere with the interests within a 'political party'. The separation of church and state has always been a discourse within mainstream religions. 😮‍💨 #Shincheonji #UnificationChurch #SeparationOfChurchAndState

Hinter dieser NGO versteckt sich eine Endzeitbewegung Der Verein HWPL Österreich organisiert Müllsammlungen auf der Wiener Mariahilfer Straße und lädt zu Gedenkfeiern. Doch hinter der Initiative steckt Shincheonji – eine südkoreanische Endzeitbewegung, die gezielt Studierende rekrutiert. Chiara Swaton, Maximilian Hatzl | Wiener Zeitung Es ist ein kalter Freitag Ende November des vergangenen Jahres. Auf der Mariahilfer Straße trotzt eine Gruppe von 15 Freiwilligen den Witterungen und sammelt mehrere Säcke Müll.

Long-maligned religious group Shincheonji draws new scrutiny over political collusion claims This article is by Michael Lee and read by an artificial voice. [EXPLAINER] Six years after it first attracted national attention for its role in Korea's initial mass outbreak of Covid-19, the secretive Shincheonji religious movement has come under renewed focus for allegedly helping to propel former President Yoon Suk Yeol to power. Ongoing probes into Yoon's administration have uncovered evidence that the group, formally known as the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, mobilized its members to influence the conservative People Power Party's (PPP) presidential primaries ahead of the 2022 election. While Shincheonji denies these claims, the accusations have stirred public anxiety about the organization's reach beyond religion. The latest controversy follows years of public misgivings regarding Shincheonji, whose reputation was severely damaged during the early months of the pandemic. That episode hardened perceptions that the group — long characterized by critics as a cult — was resistant to outside scrutiny even during a public health crisis, though courts later dismissed some criminal charges against its leaders related to their lack of cooperation with epidemiological investigations. As investigators probe Shincheonji's alleged political activities, the group once again finds itself at the center of a broader national debate over how a democratic society committed to freedom of religion should respond to religious organizations accused of deception, social harm and covert political influence. What are the latest allegations? The latest controversy centers on claims that Shincheonji members were encouraged to join the PPP in large numbers during the party's 2021 presidential primaries, which Yoon ultimately won. The allegations are based in part on statements by former Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo and testimony from former Shincheonji insiders who say the effort was coordinated. According to these accounts, members were urged to sign up for PPP membership to block other presidential hopefuls seen as hostile to Shincheonji, including current President Lee Jae Myung, who at the time was a prominent figure in the liberal Democratic Party. The insider, who has remained unnamed in domestic media reports, told investigators that Shincheonji's leadership decided to push members to support Yoon "to repay him for blocking raids into the group's facilities on two occasions" during his tenure as prosecutor general. Earlier this month, Hong claimed the PPP saw a influx of approximately 190,000 new members in the months leading up to the primaries in November. He further estimated that 100,000 of these new party members were affiliated with Shincheonji. A photograph of Yoon meeting the head of an association with ties to Shincheonji in January 2022, which resurfaced recently, has further fueled suspicions of improper political meddling by the group. Shincheonji, for its part, has categorically denied directing members to engage in organized political action, stating that it does not support any political party and that its followers act independently as voters. While Korean law places no restrictions on individual political participation by religious believers, religious organizations risk violating election laws if they encourage members to vote for a specific candidate or party. Article 85 of the Public Official Election Act stipulates that no person may engage in political activities targeting members of an educational, religious or professional organization by taking advantage of their position within the group. The ongoing controversy has raised concerns about whether secretive religious movements can exert influence within democratic institutions without public visibility. Why is the group seen as a cult? Founded in the 1980s, Shincheonji identifies itself as a Christian church, but its teachings sharply diverge from those of mainstream Protestant and Catholic denominations. The group's name, which in Korean means "new heaven and new ...

Cult Inquiry Announced with Renee & Clare A parliamentary inquiry into cults and fringe groups has recently been announced in the state of Victoria (Australia).This inquiry has spurred a group of survivor advocates to join forces and work together to form the Victorian Cult Survivors Network.In this episode host Laura McConnell together with Renee Spencer and Clare Heath McIvor discuss their journeys into cult survivor advocacy and their hopes for the parliamentary inquiry in Victoria. The survivor group has members from a wide variety of cults and the moderators come from a variety of cult backgrounds themselves – Laura is a Truth 2x2 survivor, Clare is a survivor of Sale City Builders, Renee has a daughter in the Jesus Christians (Kidney Cult).
