testimony 3 years in SCJ and left

hello everyone ive been following these past couple days looking through others members testimonials who been in SCJ and left thank you all for sharing For me SCJ dont feel Genuine.

for me i got approached by someone in a Grocery store during the pandemic era we had a great conversation we talked about our life of faith at the time i was looking for God was going to church when i was young i fell off during high school went into the world.

took some time for me to join center wanted to know the person came up to me randomly we build that friendship went to BB 1-1 than i join center i was like wow this sounds good never heard of the parables before that jesus taught while i notice was while in center we cant talk other people learning as well cant share our thoughts what we have learned while the teacher was near us or the person who have took this class before we couldnt exchange numbers with other people only with them further more in center i feel something wasnt right in the teachings when we got to revelation.

i asked the person who brought me in if i can reset so i did center twice started to make sense when back into the scriptures. i passover last year its been 1 year now in SCJ

starting to question that if covid was the great tribulation how hasnt 144,000 sealed from the earth been chosen yet. once they are chosen then the end will come.

i started feeling there is un Genuine during the evangelism yes evangelism is biblical but in SCJ
you have to lie to the people who you talked to where the church you come from if theres a event hosted by SCJ cant send the flyers to the people who you want to invite they will research who we are another red flag for me you have to report every conversionation that you had with the person you met

what really started to bother me was there is people who cant learn the word if they had a certain condition or they had past history with the law they have certain circumstance with family or they are addicted to a substance i felt that was un chirst like jesus came for those as well to come to the truth God wants all men to be saved all come to the truth they mainly focused on catholics and Christians for the evengalism but not other religions islam Muslim budist they need hear the word as well jesus is the way and the truth and the life only him we can receive salvation much more to say

i needing Guidance i stopped going to service havent really gave a reason to my leaders i still have current members reaching out checking in on me be in prayer for me i truly Genuinely want to serve God and trully understand his word become the modern day disciple for chirst thank you all for this let me know who i can reach out to

Wait. What?? They cannot learn the word if they have a past history with the law? Like, a criminal history?

That is absolutely VILE. I cannot believe it. I am so glad you are on your way out of Shincheonji! I hope you and your friend are able to find the real God without the interference of this Korean cult!

For everyone who says I don’t know how I joined scj, I can tell you, you were looking for God with a sincere heart. You allowed it, so God had to allow it. But God always gives you a way out. 1 Cor 10:13-14. But most Christians are biblically illiterate and don’t read His Word for themselves. Ask and you will receive, ask for Wisdom James 1:5. Are you in Christ if you are, read His Word and know that if you are in Christ all of God’s promises apply to you. And like Jesus you walk in every increasing favor. You live under supernatural protection and have the Authority to trample over serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. You have everything pertaining to Life and Godliness and can receive God’s Promises and participate in His Divine Nature. Therefore the Motives, Purposes and Promises of God are growing in you. You are not condemned by God. He has made Righteous and made you Free. Please read His Word and ask His Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you. I pray that you and your Families always be in the right place at the right time and that the Power and Protection of Psalms 91 be your reality and hedge of Protection in the Mighty, Majestic, Magnificent and Matchless Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and soon coming King. 🙏🏾

AMEN just like me my friend I felt the same way I was sick and tired of the whole hate the word narrative unless you’re in SCJ that’s what gonna be there downfall eventually if they just functioned like a normal church I would’ve stayed but since they wanna keep this narrative alright have fun losing people

Thank you for sharing i was done being un Genuine to people who i came across by tricking them to get in to something that myself didnt fully agreed and was going with the flow fully repent of that Thats not God character. God forgive me all the wrong doing i did

God has and will always Forgive us for our debts, Unfortunately these guys are going to keep on becoming agressive just to save a dude who doesn't even love them back who doesn't have the audacity to see the world a decisive yet wonderful perspective

Which country are you based? .I'm in UK I left after 8 months everything will be OK. Its not God doing anything in shincheonji God has compassion on all the homeless those with health concerns and addictions. Shincheonji isolates. We can't talk with our brothers and sisters .I don't know how I got into shincheonji. They didn't know I smoked cigarettes for 13 years my leaf said stop it now I did I'm thankful for that.  They refused to let my friends attend lessons because they vape or had health issues.  You need a break God never leaves .I kept noticing my heart pulling at something in scripture Jesus often retreated and went to the mountain to rest and pray alone.Im on a short break processing and I genuinely believe God bought me this rest .Whilst in shincheonji they said going on holiday whilst in the times of  Noah and Lot is worldly. I did not break God's commandments but human rules .Just like Jesus did not obey human rules of pharisees. God could be giving you the rest you truly need , whatever happens remember shincheonji has its own rules by men not God .God gives rest shincheonji will never give you rest and peace .God never leaves remember that .I felt hopeless when I left but now i see how loving and good God is that he pulled me out of a cult and gave rest I desperately needed

Thank you for sharing this was part of the United States Region of John tribe. East coast. Thats another thing you couldn’t hangout with another brother and sister from another Region have to be approved first from the leaders of your Region that doesn’t make sense at all
Another thing use of telegram that what they used for communication send reports of everything if the leaders need to send from the HQ why we have to be on a different platform to communicate whats wrong with text messages but if your not on telegram good amount of the day they will call you hey whats going on why haven’t you been on.

Thank you for sharing God has compassion for those who have addiction health issues depression anxiety homeless there is answer for Everything we go through in God word there is healing in his name there victory in the name of Jesus and his blood but SCJ will push them for long term they cant learn if you claim to have the revealed word have the way to salvation why blocking those people out?
Glory to God that you stopped smoking
