“Sell your house if you love Japan” – members squeezed dry just after March 2011 disaster.

▲ On Friday, March 11, 2011 the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami / Great East Japan Earthquake hit.

It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900.

Confirmed 15,897 deaths, 6,157 injured, and 2,532 people missing across twenty prefectures, and a report from 2015 indicated 228,863 people were still living away from their home in either temporary housing or due to permanent relocation. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that may have reached heights of up to 40.5 metres (133 ft) and which, in the Sendai area, traveled at 700 km/h (435 mph) for up to 10 km (6 miles) inland.

The tsunami caused the meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant… LINK

Just over two weeks after the disaster in Japan:



Report by a church member in good standing:



At this time Sean Hyung Jin Moon was the International President of the FFWPU / UC. The overall Japanese leader was Rev. Song. He spoke at meetings of Japanese National leaders on March 27, 2011 (Osaka, Fukuoka), March 28 (Tokyo, Hokkaido).

Rev. Song was the Korean leader sent by Justin Kook Jin Moon to be in charge of Japan. First, a summary of Rev Song’s speech. Not for the faint of heart or the hypocritical.



- Church members are responsible for the terrible disaster in Japan

- If you say one wrong word, history can go in the wrong way

- Don’t do prayers to show off – Heaven will not receive them

- We never know when we will experience the same thing again

- Even if the grass is greener on the other side, don’t look over there

- The way of good is to go to Heaven through the tunnel of grief

- There are many people who let things go through one ear and out the other

- The churches in Japan have to bring 11, 15, and 17 times bigger [financial] results than before

- Mentioned generous contribution to the Red Cross

- Told members to give donations of repentance

- Misfortune can turn into a blessing

- God has been enduring a lot

- Stroke of good luck amidst misfortune

- Even the words I say in a sudden moment are not my words.

- This is not the end.

- God says that by bringing 11, 15, 17 times more [financial] results the disasters will end with this

- Tsunamis are more terrifying than earthquakes

- You can’t think that you survived [the tsunami/earthquake]. Make the donations by selling your house

- Build Cheon Il Guk and then you can die

- Say that you will die after building Cheon Il Guk even if a tsunami comes

- God told me that Japan’s misfortune will turn into a good fortune

- Many people seem to have died in the tsunami

- People who are willing to die will be saved, and those who squirm and struggle to live will be killed by a tsunami. Even if they’re not killed by a tsunami there’s many other ways to be killed. Always be prepared when walking the way of the Will

- Now Japan is entering a phase in which it is calming down

- 40,000 people have to set the standard of being patriots – Standard for True Parents’ day and the standard of extending the period [of sending in donations] for 11 days

- Make regular people participate too

- Construct a tower of dedication where the tsunami passed by

- It’s a piece of cake. So easy.

“Patriot’s dedication” donation: 1,100,000 yen (13,500 US dollars) per family.

I am church member in good standing; I’m not someone against True Parents. But I write here anonymously because there’s nowhere else to go. The church is reaching a ridiculous point in its history and there’s really nowhere to go to complain about it. I read the news about Japan and thought it necessary to transmit to others.



Is it right for the Unification Church to demand 1,100,000 yen from our members when Japan faces the most difficult crisis in its recent history?

Kook Jin Nim, Hyung Jin Nim: You talk nicely and put on a nice show, but who is violating human rights in this situation? Who is squeezing the blood out of the church members? No matter how much you go to the members and clean their feet and cry on their shoulders, you are still pushing them to sell their houses to fill the donation quota. Earthquakes, tsunamis, vast national devastation, irreparable economic damage, nuclear radiation is not enough suffering for you? Of course we are all “sinners” and should be ashamed of it. But why not do something about it?



Is the construction of the Cheon Bok Temple really providentially that important that it needs this sum of money to be wringed out of Japan at this time? Did True Father authorize this irrational push, or was it the idea of other people?



Kook Jin Nim is proud of giving 1.7 million dollars of church money to the Red Cross. Every church website from Korea, Japan, America, is proudly showing that off. I resent that.



Take a second to think that actually it’s just a drop in the bucket, no, a drop in the ocean of money that Japan gave to the Church. Billions and billions of dollars year after year. How can they push for this donation “tsunami” on top of the crisis they just had? Just take a look at this “patriot dedication” donation: The goal is that 40,000 families in Japan donate 13,500 dollars each. It comes out to 540,000,000 US dollars. That’s squeezing 540 million dollars from a nation that just went through a horrible crisis. They’re asking people to sell their houses and die for Cheon Il Guk.



In this perspective the donation to the Red Cross hardly seems like something worth mentioning or something to be proud of. If I were the Red Cross I wouldn’t take money which most likely came from the Japanese UC members. While it may be noble, the “Japan UC member’s human rights” charade feels completely inappropriate.



From this day on I am not going to support the church with my donations. They don’t deserve it any more.

“As you know, our Japanese Church has been selling their houses and all their assets to support our activities in America. If you’re not sure about it, go and visit Japan and see for yourself. By the same token, if our American members, all of you, are willing to sell your houses and assets in order to save South America, and contribute the money to help the poor people there, then the unification between North America and South America will naturally take place.”
