From the Falling Out podcast:

"All Unification Church donations are voluntary" (amidst high-pressure coercion tactics, as evidenced here). They are using Abe's death as an opportunity to apply further donation pressure....Eeeewww.

Dear Michael,

I also joined in 1976 in the Bay Area just like you. I had fond memories of waking up in the chicken palace in Boonville with Neal's guitar.

A lot has changed since then, especially with the True Children.

I always felt the American Church President should be American, I was very surprised when a British man was chosen.    

Now I understand why, because No American President would allow In Jin Moon back doing Sunday services. If you were American you would understand the heart of the American people who were repulsed by what she has done to her Father’s church.

She has not really repented, she continues to live with a husband who has yet to pay his child support. They are both dodging the legal system by having Ben who bought the house they live in now for $835k in February. Then in October he sells it back to In Jin Moon for 1 dollar.

Why did Ben and In Jin Moon do this? It was to make Ben look poor on the books so In Jin and Ben do not have to pay Patricia any child support.

There is proof of these transactions that were made public – if you care to see the legal documents I will be glad to send them to you.

This shows she is complicit in frauding the Division of Child Support to make her husband look poor to avoid child support payments. All this will come out in discovery during the ongoing divorce proceedings.

Michael, please take your time and listen to one of Ben Lorentzen’s songs dedicated to his wife, In Jin Moon, called “The Ugliest Girl In The World”.

We were all taught in DP that to understand God we must look at his creation. Just as we can look at the work of an artist to understand the mind of the artist. Take your time and Look at Ben’s artistic work in this song with his choreography.

You will see people in a bar struggling with their inner sexual demons lusting one another. Take a closer look and you can see who they represent. The Asian woman who leaves her Asian husband at the bar is In Jin, The depressed white woman is Patricia while the Bar tender is actually Ben's biological brother.  

All of this artwork reflects the soul of the artist Ben as well as his words in the song.

Is this the type of husband you want to stand side by side with In Jin Moon while she does her Sunday services as a couple representing the Church?

Ask yourself one question... Would you want your daughter to marry such a man?

If the answer is no, then please stop this couple In Jin Moon from giving Sunday service like she did in the past.

If the answer is yes, then you will see a vast amount of members joining the Sanctuary Church or leaving out of disgust and protest.

Sincerely,

In response to widespread allegations of moral and financial corruption that reach the highest levels of the church, Bishop Ki Hoon Kim and Mike Balcomb are encouraging anyone with information on these activities to step forward. They are also threatening that any church leader who retaliates against informers will be terminated. Sources at HQ report that an aggressive new Whistleblower Policy is designed to identify and remove the corrupt leaders, whoever they may be.

According to the policy, whistleblowers do not have to be employees or members of the church and anyone who presents allegations of corruption will be protected from retaliation. There is no time limit on the reported activities – in other words they can have happened at any time in the past. Here is a quote from the policy:

“This Whistleblower Policy aims to provide reassurance for whistleblowers, including but not limited to employees and members of the Church, that they will be protected from retaliation for whistleblowing. This Whistleblowing Policy is intended to encourage and enable individuals to raise serious concerns within the Church.”

The policy can be found at: http://familyfed.org/nationalcouncil/whistleblower-policy/ 

It includes a stern warning to corrupt church leaders who may want to retaliate: “A Church employee who retaliates against someone who has reported a suspected illegal or unethical practice in good faith is subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment.”

Re: FFWPU Letter Condemning Hyung Jin nim & Yeon Ah nim as Angry Sinners

Dear Continental Director Kim & President Balcomb,

Your letter to Brothers and Sisters dated April 18, 2015 deeply saddens us as the expression from your heart is very disappointing. It’s so wrong and you are without excuse. All Church members can watch the coronation videos on YouTube and the video where Father announces that no one exceeds Hyung Jin in his standard of faith.

“Today, at this time, there must only be one line of authority. The center, centered on Korea or on the world, over the entire Unification Church will stretch out and become larger. From now, I can leave someone in charge of my work on my behalf. Currently, there is no one among our church members who surpasses Hyung Jin in his standard of faith or in any other way. Do you understand? I am appointing him.” (April 18, 2008)

Father passed on his authority of the blood lineage of God to Hyung Jin nim. You call the heir’s couple “angry”, “unIoving” and “demonstrating all four of what the Principle describes as the natures of the fall.” You say you have surpassed Hyung Jin and left him eating satanic dust. Thus, you call Father a fool.

You and your Korean leader counterparts have misguided Mother into denying her son and listening to you who call him a sinner. You voted him out and took his place. You left your position, you refuse to bring your offering to the one proclaimed by True Parents as victorious worldwide Abel (June 5, 2012), you call him a sinner who is beneath you, and you desire that church members follow you. You accuse the heir, to whom you should bring your offering, of not uniting with your understanding of God’s providence and your hierarchical higher archangelical structure.

You cry unite or be damned! We cannot unite with your dark heart. If unity were everything, regardless of content, the Mafia would rule heaven.

page 1

The most disturbing wrong that you do is not your denial of Father’s legacy of the Holy Scriptures, or your rejection of Father’s church anthem which he wrote in the Hungnam death camp, or your change of the belief in one God to the plural Heavenly Parents, or your change of the Pledge prayer, or your change of the Blessing vows, or your ban on the teaching of absolute sex which Father encouraged, or your ban on the teaching of freedom society values which Father encouraged, or the archangelic dictatorial nature of the proposed heavenly constitution (which is quite hellish), or your disregard for members displayed when you demanded without consultation or notice to members the close of Barrytown college and immediate removal of its president, or your eagerness to incite Mother to distinguish her leadership from Father’s when they should remain united.

The most destructive wrong you do is to deny the lineage of the Messiah; the seed of God that became flesh in the Messiah and has been passed on thru True Parents to remain on earth forever. You encourage Mother to remove the heir. Your desecration of Father’s legacy will last for a generation but if you are successful at removing the heir, the devil will delight for what might seem forever as suffering continues. Those of us who have lived with True Parents know that Father raised Mother from a young age after other women failed to become True Mother. The Messiah, sinless seed from the Godhead, became True Father as he brought True Mother to life representing all of us. Thank you Mother; True Parents are victorious. That victory is established forever but now you and your Korean leader counterparts encourage Mother to disavow Father’s lineage and proclaim herself as the sinless product of messianic lineage.

True Mother has spoken as follows.

“Nobody educated me. God’s only begotten son and God’s only begotten daughter are equal. You cannot say that God’s only begotten son educated God’s only begotten daughter. Do you understand what l am saying?”

October 27th, 2014 (https://vimeo.com/110521385) at 9:20 in the video

Mother continues, saying that she was educated by her mother and grandmother. When will you tell your members that you now believe Mother’s lineage is sinless and primary and Father’s lineage is secondary? You know this is already being taught in Korea. You call Hyung Jin nim a sinner because he honors Father as the eternal subject of True Parents’ unity and the central authority of that unity of God and humankind.

The American Church, representing the archangel nation, has the great opportunity to deny Satan and support the central authority of Adam. Our church president is named Michael. Will he unite with Adam to deny the forces of Satan? Or, does his letter – calling the heir to the lineage of God an unholy sinner who manifests all the sins of Satan – urge Eve to dominate Adam?

True Parents are equal in value but not equal in authority. If we have two ultimate authorities, we can never have unity. We will have two Gods. Continental Director Kim and other church lenders have announced the plurality of Gods publicly several times This is a grievous sin against the First Commandment, the Messiah. Christianity, the Divine Principle, True Parents, and God.

page 2

In Father’s life on earth, he never gave authority for the world-level Blessing to be conducted by one person alone. Please examine the history of those Blessings. When Father was not available, he designated someone to stand in his place. He never allowed victorious Mother to stand alone in conveying God’s Blessing. True Mother does not come from Father’s lineage but represented all of us descendants from dead Adam and Eve. The Blessing, the key salvation event, can only come from the sinless lineage of God brought to earth by the Messiah, conducted thru True Parents or their designated representatives. As you write in the letter, “True Father’s fundamental teaching…” is that it is not done by any one person alone. If you teach that Mother alone has this authority, you ignore Father’s teaching, principle, practice, and the need for his physical presence on the earth which is maintained by his heir.

Hyung Jin nim (anointed successor in Father’s blood lineage) and Yeon Ah nim (representing us) are authorized by Father, by True Parents, to conduct the Holy Marriage Blessing as the successor couple. Please confirm this by viewing YouTube videos. You will find Hyung Jin nim and Yeon Ah nim officiating Blessings.

In your letter from FFWPU you call unholy and sinful the heir’s couple which Father, and True Parents, authorized as the “one line of authority”. You accuse them of sin using such salacious words as “shocking and malicious attack on True Mother”. True Mother’s position as True Mother has never been challenged by her son Hyung Jin nim.

Your language in defense of hierarchy displays ill will toward True Family. The words quoted above are followed by “attempting in every way to foment confusion and mistrust.” Only evil people would attempt to do something “in every way” because this includes all unprincipled ways. These words constitute an evil attack on good people. Those who attend their worship services hear witness to their deep love for Father, Mother, True Parents, each other, church members and all people. Shall we who were born in the sin of Satan’s lineage call the pure anointed heir of God’s blood lineage a sinner? No. When you do that, you do not represent our couple or true Blessed members.

The following quote from your letter reveals where you and your Korean leader counterparts lead your sheep.

“In his current state of rebellion against True Parents, Hyung Jin Moon has by his own words and actions renounced and repudiated his position as heir and representative of True Parents.”

You lead your sheep to deny Father’s lineage and replace the anointed heir. You have already begun and will continue to convince True Mother that she is the sinless one whose lineage is central. When will you report this to members? When will you announce a new heir that pleases the archangel?

page 3

You prepare the members for the change in heir by describing Hyung Jin nim as “rebellious” (like Satan), and you say that he himself “renounced and repudiated his position as heir and representative of True Patents.” You have written the very thing that Satan desires! Does it give you pause to know that out of your heart comes exactly what Satan wants most?

Hyung Jin nim honors God and True Parents, by accepting his appointment and its responsibilities even as you call him a sinner for doing so. How can you characterize this as a disqualification of his own doing? I would not respect him if he did otherwise. Most members are spiritually awake enough to know you are speaking falsely. What they don’t know yet is your plan to have Father’s lineage replaced by Mother’s while you maintain leadership in the hierarchy and urge her to replace the heir. Members will come to understand why you rejected the heir and his passion for keeping Father’s legacy, for spiritual clarity, for transparency, for elections, and for trust in members. These things all run counter to your ends.

Yes, you and your Korean leader counterparts should repent for many things. Start with your throwing him out instead of reporting to Mother that your members loved him. We hear that a member of your board stands accused by the Korean lRS of embezzling millions of dollars of members’ donated money. Do that trustee remain on the American Church board? When will you explain this to members? I hope you will not fabricate a way to blame Father.

We humbly renewed our Blessing vows in a ceremony conducted by the anointed heir’s couple in the blood lineage that comes from God. My heart was happy with deep spiritual feelings during the ceremony – drinking the holy wine, exchanging rings, the forgiveness of the holy water, and pledging to accomplish the covenant vows which Father wrote. My wife was overwhelmed and wept on my shoulder. This was a moment that really helped us improve our hearts for God, each other, and others. I recommend renewal for everyone.

Thank you Father, the sinless Messiah, the Tree of Life rooted in Creator God, for the opportunity to be engrafted into your lineage. Thank you True Parents who allow us to be reborn thru the unity of heaven and earth. Thank you Hyung Jin and Yeon Ah Moon. Amen. Aju.

Sincerely and peacefully,

February 11, 2015

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We write today about a serious matter related to Hyung Jin Nim's recent sermons delivered at the Sanctuary Church in Pennsylvania, which unfortunately convey many points that directly challenge True Mother's leadership.

For example, in his sermon of February 8th, delivered to a few but then made available to all on the internet, Hyung Jin Nim announced the dismissal and removal of all current leaders of the Unification Movement, and asked that members elect replacements. He went on to declare that the publication of the Heavenly Scriptures, and many other points of guidance given by True Mother since True Father's Seonghwa were "heretical," and he claimed that he alone has the authority on these and other matters.

We are confident in True Father's proclamation that first and foremost True Parents are one, and are the eternal subject and central figure of God's providence on earth. We choose to unite with True Mother and to work with whomever she appoints. All appointments by True Parents, including Hyung Jin Nim's, are conditional in that they require the fulfillment of a portion of human responsibility in unity with True Parents. If that responsibility is not fulfilled, then inheritance and blessing cannot come. We humbly confess that we frequently fall short of True Parents' expectations.

True Mother is decisive, firm and entirely vertical. While she confers and consults with a variety of leaders, she guides and leads our movement centered entirely on our Heavenly Parent, True Parents and the Principle. She is consistently urging us to focus only on those ministries and activities which promise growth and development of our movement, especially through evangelism and tribal messiahship. She is raising a new generation of leaders who can lead our movement into the future, and investing greatly in the education of all our youth.

We, as Blessed Central Families, have faced many challenges since the ascension of True Father. Members of True Parents' own family face the most challenging course. At the same time, we each have our own portion of responsibility. We sincerely urge Blessed Central Families to remain steadfast in our attendance to True Parents. True Mother is right here with us on earth. Uniting with her is the key to receiving God's grace and blessing on our families, our movement, America and the world.

As we move towards the 2nd Anniversary of Foundation Day, let us all renew our commitment to the love, guidance and authority of our True Parents.

Sincerely,

Dr. Ki Hoon Kim – Continental Chairman

Dr. Michael Balcomb – President
