While I know the basics of Rev.Moon's creed and some of the recent changes ("We say heavenly parents not God the Father now etc") I only really know in depth some of the scandals they had back in the late 80's/early 90's in Europe. I actually thought they had died out but hey ho....
I need to read up, since he's one of those preacher types armed with pamphlets and I have to sit in a room with him for six damn hours a day. Anyone know any good books or sources about this gang? They claim to be Christian but they're so far out there with their "Eve fucked the Devil" and energy transfer stuff I don't know what angle to take this from.
Be simple and honest. I don't care about Moon. Shut up about it. If he continues, go to a used bookstore and get a copy of Elron Hubbard's "Dianetics". Or perhaps something by Aleister Crowley.

I thought this thread would be a load of bare bottoms.
I am disappointed.

I thought the Moonies broke up after they found the treasure of One-Eyed Willy and sold the gems to pay for their parents' business? And then everyone did the truffle shuffle.

I don't know who was more hated by the 'establishment', Reverend Moon or the fucking Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.
Hard to say whose followers were the more vapid and compulsively gullible too.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Do the same thing I do with telemarketers?
I try to convert them to a religion I make up on the fly.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
