Just while finishing the last post I wrote, I got onto the subject of whether the religion organized by "reverend Moon" could be propagating demons to latch themselves onto ignorant seekers of "truth", when a whole bigger subject came to mind, one perhaps of political significance.
I've read a bit in the wave about how Moon can literally hypnotise entire crowds into a blissful trance state, but I'm wondering, Laura, how much do you know about this religion?
My parents are victims of this entropic system, it's literally impossible to have a logical conversation with them without some serious cognitive dissonance occurring. I was brought up in this system, perhaps some people would like to know some information I discovered...
Other than having set guidelines for how to pray and who to pray to, they prize a specific ritual called the "Hoon Dok Wei", which is a service performed on Sunday mornings at 5:00 (or sometimes earlier), they repeat 8 rules, or as my father put it, "Ideals", along with some praying and bowing ECT.
The funny thing is, having done this all my childhood life, I discovered recently that these were no more than affirmations about how to behave, perhaps doing it in the morning leaves your mind more susceptible to it because one gets a "treat" after the service then goes to bed. Fair enough I think if the messages are good in nature and allows the person to deal with life in a more open minded and compassionate way, but I'll let you be the judge of that...

Funnily enough, I tried to look for what is said during the service, but I can't find it anymore...
Anyway, I know this is just another religion proposing fundamentalist views, but I've done some research and found some rather interesting facts:
He is REALLY friendly with the Bush family, apparently Bush senior said he was inspirational to him, not only that, but Bush senior failed his "mission" in the Middle East so the torch has been passed onto junior.
They arrange mass marriages in stadiums, just what is the significance of that?
They really promote unity of all religions; Moon has some connections in high places I think, including the pope and other religious leaders.
Their beliefs are incredibly narrowed minded; they especially hate gays and dislike disobedience to the "messiah" (Moon).
These are just a few points, if anyone is interested to know more, I'd be happy to help.
If anyone has more information I’d appreciate some feedback.
