Official Unification Church letter bends the truth to suit its purpose.

You may think that it’s a ridiculously small issue to quibble about the wording in the recent letter from the Unification Church headquarters (especially with the bombshell of the recent video by Sam Park, Sun Myung Moon’s secret love child, conceived after being married to the “True Mother,” Hakja Han Moon), but it illustrates so clearly the habit of mind in Unification Church culture--of which there are thousands of similar examples--which is to bend the truth when it suits you. 

“Sanctuary’s...continuously speaking against True Parents is misleading....” Anyone familiar with the situation knows that Sanctuary Church leader Hyung Jin Moon has been speaking against “True Mother,” claiming she is not following the decisions of “True Father” and creating new theology which delegitimizes him. What is misleading is for an official letter of the Unification Church to claim that Hyung Jin Moon is “speaking against True Parents” rather than against “True Mother.” It’s just a lie like so many others. The ends (showing that “True Mother” is right, and her son, Sanctuary Church leader Hyung Jin Moon, is wrong) justify the means (stating something which is clearly untrue). It’s a habit of mind in Unification Church culture. Feel free to give examples in the comments below.

The vast majority of American and European members had a higher standard of truth-telling when they joined the church, but they could not reform the lower standard of what the Principle calls a “Formation Stage” culture.

How can you build the Ideal World / Kingdom of Heaven / Cheon Il Guk when you can’t even tell the truth (whether it’s about the “True Father” having sex with another woman while married to the “True Mother” or about something simple and straightforward like this)?
