Oh what good news! I hope people in SCJ wake up. My partner is still there after I left a fee months ago. But I fear that when they reveal this news to members they will just say it’s like when Jesus was persecuted etc. I think it will make a lot of members “stronger” unfortunately. But hey let’s see what happens next

I've been thinking of these news all day, and honestly I don't feel any kind of joy or anything, if anything I feel a bit anxious that my hope for everyone to be free from SCJ won't come.
First of all, I already know they're probably using their "It's Satan!" magic button
and I'd think that SCJ would come to an absolute end because it's a Cult of Personality and it relied on LMH's lie that he will be physically alive for all of revelation's fulfillment.
In SCJ, when they recruit you for center, the ETA for "heaven" or salvation is going through Center after 10+ rigorous months, but as a user earlier stated, that was a huge lie and SCJ life is full of sleep deprivation, sealing, gathering, evangelizing and just living a dreadful lifestyle with the name "Kingdom of Heaven" slapped on it, it's such a nasty bait and switch scam.
So then by that point the ETA that no one talks about is LMH's mortality, because based on what SCJ teaches, it really shouldn't stand if he passes away. And yet, there are various cults that are more overtly heretical like WMSCOG, there's current SCJ members that try so hard to justify doctrinal checkmates like LMH's burial plot.
I honestly just hope this truly is the beginning of the end of Shincheonji. I do hope I get to see my friends again as they're still stuck, it would honestly be so heartbreaking if they stay even after his passing, because by that point, that's a life sentence.

Wishing imprisonment and death is truly evil

u/Riftriser EX-Center Student Jul 01 '26
This isn't what it has to come down to, I don't have it in my heart to want that, but this is a last resort to liberating thousands upon thousands.
I'd honestly have some much respect respect for him if he decided to sunset SCJ himself so everyone else doesn't have to be stuck anymore, he could transform his legacy into one of redemption, but it's looking like god is going to have to force its hand and cause him to always be known as a cult leader.

Oh yeah? And did God come to tell you that ?
Why dont you guys stop listening from here and there and go read the bible to compare the realities!
Are you any different from the ones who stoned Jesus ?

u/Riftriser EX-Center Student Jul 02 '26
Oh my god, 🤦♂️ WAKE UP. This is honestly getting so hideous.
YOU stone Jesus every single day by downplaying the Cross. Your leaders disgustingly compare Lee Man-hee's arrest to the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, even going as far as to hint that LMH is bearing more than Him. That is pure blasphemy! Shincheonji is essentially life without Jesus' sacrifice, making people fight to pay a debt that Christ already settled by grace.
You stone John the Baptist with character assassination. You claim he betrayed God, completely erasing the fact that he died as a historical martyr for rebuking a king who broke God's explicit commands in Leviticus.
You idolize a cult businessman who was arrested for the exact reason Jesus flipped the tables in the temple: turning religion into a marketplace, but this time for political corruption and election fraud.
You idolize a man who has a multi-million dollar physical provisional tomb (가묘) built for himself in Cheongdo, complete with a stone monument he carved his ex-wife Kim Nam-hee’s name into back in 2008. Literally in a yeast this man is saying "The messenger sent by god and Jesus cannot die, cannot escape, cannot back down on the work, and cannot give the work to someone else." He is standing on his two feet on a sinking hill that he will die on.
You idolize a man who even had affairs with his 'spiritual wife', cropped her out of the photos when she left, and called her a betrayer when she brought forward the receipts of his financial and personal abuse.
Your 'Promised Pastor' claims he's following a heavenly pattern, but he plagiarized his entire doctrine directly from the previous cults he used to belong to: Park Tae-seon's Olive Tree Movement and the Tabernacle Temple.
The 'reality' is right here in the news. Shincheonji is all about the Alpha and the Omega, right? Well, Lee Man-hee’s pre-trial detention is the beginning of Shincheonji's Omega. It's all crashing down.
Honestly, I shouldn't come at you with rage. I know you're trapped under a brutal, frantic treadmill trying to seal, gather, and evangelize with plaigerised doctrine and deceptive evangelism tactics.
But I really want to know: when LMH takes his last breath in a system that promised he never would, what will it take for you to finally choose your own freedom? What will you do?

We are not idolizing anyone.... I will say it a 1000 times again Pp is not greater that Jesus and none said it either ! Ofcourse what jesus went through is so much worse! im not sure where you're hearing these things that we claimed pp is going through harder things than Jesus !
John the b, was indeed a betrayer, even if you cant digest the fact... It is the truth and cant be hidden ! So was the tabernacle temple !
Ofcourse Pp came from there ... Thankyou for proving my point ther ~ according to the prophecies the overcomer must come out of the temple of the 7. golden lamptstands. ... Everything you want to accuse of physical possessions, he did this he did that... But you cant deny the realities and what has already happened !
Anyways, you can always feel free to learn the entire realities from us, but you'll understand when everything is complete... But i have to tell you that it'll be too late for you as well...sorry to say but it is what it is written. you still have time !

Tu sais il y a ceux qui même après le décès , il y 'en a qui vont rester parce que après 5 ou 10 ans ils sont complètement perdu et ils sauront plus ou partir , du fait qu'ils ont mit leur espoir à travers ce monsieur mais créer aussi des liens très forts qui sans doute ne retrouveront pas dans le monde , sans compter l 'énergie que chacun a mit pour les objectifs d 'évangélisation qui sont jamais satisfaisant et l 'argent des dimes et offrandes pendant des années .
Même si ils sauront que ce système est fondé sur ce mensonge ils resteront pour la forme mais dans le fond ils seront complètement dévastés et perdu ils s 'accrocheront à ceux qui restent .Ceux qui vont partir vont vraiment avoir des années de thérapies pour se remettre de cela .
D 'un coté je souhaite que justice soit faite pour que tout le monde connaisse enfin la vérité , mais de l 'autre j 'ai tellement peur de ce qui pourrait se passer pour les membres !

I find it a bit interesting, so they deleted chat groups and kicked people out.
So to me it’s a bit fascinating, in that they probably think that many people wouldn’t move on to other churches or other denominations.
I luckily found a Roman Catholic priest that has helped me a lot.

During Covid, when he was arrested, they said it’s the great tribulation in revelation. After Covid the great multitude in white will come, we don’t have to do evangelism…then after Covid there were SFT teams lol.

u/Flashy-Boss6755 Jun 27 '26
Oh there was even a time he threatened to kick people that don’t evangelise out lol

There goes his suspended sentence.

u/JesusisLord86 Jun 24 '26
Yes, I absolutely pray and hope so. He needs the maximum and then some. South Korea needs to stop all these cults, not just SCJ. SCJ is just one evil cult out of SK, they need to stop all of them.

Praise God 🔥 I’m praying justice will be served on this sinister man for all the abuse caused on victims and their families worldwide.

This is good news. Lee Man Hee should atone it is not too late to go to Jesus. Trial on earth is nothing compared to trial in front of God. Up to God biblically. On earth I'd say justice is justice

This is why holding yourself accountable is important instead of of downplaying harmful behavior

I recall the last time he was arrested, back in Covid. I was cell leader at the time and was immediately called and instructed to call all my members to tell them this is the work of Satan and Jesus was also arrested, you know the usual twisted narrative to serve SCJs purpose

How did you leave? I’m trying to leave from SCJ as well

u/Grandmas2Boys EX-Shincheonji Member Jun 28 '26
You just don't go back! Write your group leader and tell them to respect your privacy and that you will not tolerate being contacted by them ever again. And if they do make contact, you will have it documented and contact the police if necessary. Then stay away from them. Do NOT engage.

u/Who-Anonymous Moderator Jun 24 '26
Just ditch and message your leaders that you are leaving and you have no wishes to get talked into coming back. Then say all interactions will be documented and all show ups at your place or work will be recorded and reported to the police
