Thank you @mrjeffu for raising awareness of the Moonie political grift outside of Japan. This time, it’s with former Canadian PM Stephen Harper. The CBC article is in French. Anyone reading this, please submit a request for an English translation here:

Someone who tries to resist an #ArrangedMarriage/ #ForcedMarriage often risks ostracism & #HonorViolence, & someone -- esp a woman/girl -- who tries to get divorced after an arranged/forced marriage usually faces serious obstacles. https://t.co/eDFdnA4ex7 📷: @Jenkiaba

It was an incredible honor working with @noahmichelson to tell my story. Anyone interested in more second gen #unificationchurch #exmoonie stories, check out @FallingOutPod and “Blessed Child” by @Renrobot1 #igotout

EVERYONE should be educating themselves on how to recognize propaganda and coercive control tactics. Manipulation is out there in all forms, whether it be domestic violence, human trafficking, a cult or extremist group. #educateyourself

The body keeps the score? Ok. Has it tried considering that not everything is a competition

Hope that this memoir, written by a second generation who was able to get out of the #UnificationChurch, is published in English someday: “Cult Bride: Religious Nisei 20 Years to Get Out of Brainwashing” #exmoonie #igotout

There is a past version of you that is so proud of how far you've come...✨

“ Poverty, forced faith in the doctrine and neglect — the realities faced by the second generation — are becoming recognized as a social problem.”

Love and trust can not exist with constant betrayal. Totalitarian organizations put conditions in place to create betrayal after betrayal within the most cherished and intimate relationships we possess. Systems of control harness these conditioned betrayals for power.

While researching baby carriers I came across one advertised as “four positions,” and my brain immediately screamed FOUR POSITION FOUNDATION! I’ve been out of the cult almost 20 years but indoctrination runs deep. Any #exmoonies feel me?

Part 2 of my interview with Jinae is out now! We dissect the current indoctrination material being pushed by Hakja Han Moon's faction of the #Unificationchurch

This is definitely on my tbr list!

Trauma survivors crave honesty and authenticity. We’ve had to fight for our ability to think clearly and know who we are. It’s cost us greatly. We aren’t willing to engage with those who do not honor that.

If you want to know what it sounds like when a trauma informed cult therapist speaks to a deconstructed and recovering ex-member of the Unificiation church, you get this. #exmoonie #moonie #UnificationChurch #culteducation #cult #therapy #shinzoabe https://t.co/Xqf09plM1d

Louder for the academics in the back

@mrjeffu miserable This event publicly revealed the reality that the Unification Church's parent-child problem is not a normal family problem, but the destruction of the family by the cult's control.

The Unification Church tried to disrupt a FCCJ press conference today with a message from a former member's parents, claiming that she was a mentally ill liar. It completely backfired and has resulted in more negative press about the church: https://t.co/ev6g9HPYc3

Power and control doesn’t always come in the form of overt threats like “ Do [add X] or else!” Sometimes it is about shaming or guilting a person into submission. Emotional blackmail is a HUGE weapon of #coercivecontrol

Great insights from @nezumi_ningen on the relationship between the #UnificationChurch and Japanese politicians in “The Interpreter.” However I wish that the author had explored Hightower’s final point about focusing more on helping victims
