Jesus ‘Bows to Moon’
Tumblr media
Spirit Revelation and the Unification Church
by James A. Beverley
The Heavenly Ministry of an Ascended Son Reverend Moon’s second son, Heung-Jin, sustained severe head injuries as a result of a car accident near Hyde Park, New York, in December 1983. He died in early January 1984. Moon claimed immediately that his son’s loss was a providential act allowed by God in order to protect Moon’s calling. “If the sacrifice of Heung-Jin Nim had not been made, either of two great calamities could have happened. Either the Korean nation could have suffered a catastrophic setback, such as an invasion from North; or I myself could’ve been assassinated?”
Tumblr media
Heung-Jin was buried in Korea on January 8, 1984. A week later, Reverend Moon proclaimed that his son had a new mission and that he was free to travel between his spirit world and our physical world. Moon also proclaimed that Heung-Jin became a leader to Jesus in the spirit realm and that he had assumed the role of “the commander-in-chief” to those who are unmarried in the spirit realm.”

On February 20, 1984, Heung-Jin was married postmortem to Hoon-Sook Pak, the daughter of Colonel Bo Hi Pak, one of Moon’s top aides. Colonel Pak stated that his son-in-law’s sacrifice “carries far greater importance than the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.” According to Moon, his son needed to be married in order to move from prince to king in the spirit realm.
Tumblr media
Hoon-Sook was positive about her unusual marriage. “I will never forget in my whole life and for eternity this greatest honor of being Heung-Jin Nim’s bride, which I do not deserve.”
Tumblr media
Shortly after the death of Heung-Jin, Unificationists in different parts of the world claimed to be receiving messages from him. Most of the alleged revelations took place in 1984, and 1987 and were published in book form under the title The Victory of Love.
Revelations are also claimed from St. Francis, St. Paul, Kierkegaard, and Jesus. The last speaks both of his submission to Heung-Jin and the True Parents. “I will show them that the Lord of lords and the King of kings and the king of glory is our precious Lord Sun Myung Moon and his beloved bride Hak Ja Han. They reign as king and queen of the entire universe. I, Jesus of Nazareth, known as the Christ, bow in humility before them. Any who will follow me must do the same.” (pages 43-60)

Al abrirnos los ojos y hacernos reflexionar, Bong Joon-ho nos hace entender lo dificil que es la vida sin importar que tan alto o bajo estemos. La pelicula nos enseña a valorar lo que tenemos y agradecer por lo que tenemos.
Nos muestra el punto de vista de una familia que de no tenerlo todo pasa a ser feliz por un pequeño momento con cosas que no son de su pertenencia.Y hay es donde viene el dicho que si haces millonario a un pobre, al final seguirá siendo pobre por que se gastaria el dinero.Cambio si haces millonario a una persona con ideas millonarias se hara mas millonario ya que sabra duplicar el dinero.
Por el punto de vista de la familia que lo tiene casi todo, el tener dinero no te hace superior que otros, ya que al fin y al cabo todos somos personas y no hay razon para discriminar a los que no tienen lo que tu tienes.A medida de que la pelicula avanza nos damos cuenta de ello.
La pelicula no es apta para los niños que no sepa el idioma de ella, ya que contiene escenas "fuertes" y solo esta subtitulada al español ya que su idioma es coreano.
“La mejor recompensa de convertirte en millonario no es la cantidad de dinero que ganes. Es la clase de persona en la que te tienes que convertir para llegar a serlo” Jim Rohn.

Son una familia que vive en una situación precaria y a base de trabajos temporales hasta que un día un amigo de Ki-woo lo recomienda para ser el nuevo tutor de inglés de la hija de una familia rica, los Park. De esa forma, tras un par de falsificaciones de documentos, nuestro protagonista consigue el trabajo y se le ocurre la brillante idea de infiltrar al resto de su familia dentro de la casa como trabajadores profesionales a cargo de los Park. A partir de ahí, irán ingeniando un plan para crear los puestos de trabajo necesarios para vivir cómodamente a expensas de la familia, pero se encontrarán con un par de sorpresas que pondrán a todos en riesgo y darán un giro brusco de las circunstancias.

A Note on Bo Hi Pak
http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/HyunJinMoon-11/HyunJinMoon-110425.pdf
Tumblr media
Heung Jin’s father in‐law, former International Peace Foundation President Bo Hi Pak (father of Heung Jin Moon's wife, Hoon Sook Moon), also used to boast quite some influence within the church. Former president Pak was relegated from the executive circle of the church when China‐based businesses of the Unification Church failed during the 90's, and was then arrested in 2007 for real estate brokerage fraud. It is believed that he has been ‘reinstated’ after assuming the position of co‐chairman of the Korean War 60th Anniversary Project Committee in 2010.

Kirov Ballet School Rehired an Embezzler. Then $1.5 Million Vanished.
By Rebecca J. Ritzel    March 16, 2020    New York Times
The ex-employee is now charged with taking the money from the Kirov Academy, which was created by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church.
WASHINGTON — In the summer of 2017, when one of the country’s premier dance schools was looking to hire a comptroller, it just so happened that someone with experience in the role was looking for a job.
Sophia Kim had been the treasurer at the Kirov Academy of Ballet here two decades earlier, when the school was affiliated with the Unification Church of Rev. Sun Myung Moon.
But Ms. Kim also had a gambling habit and had recently spent almost two years in prison for embezzling $800,000 from another nonprofit affiliated with the church.
So it was more than a bit surprising when the Kirov Academy, for reasons that remain tremendously opaque, hired Ms. Kim back, put her in charge of the books, gave her a Branch Banking & Trust debit card and access to the school’s accounts.
“I wondered myself, ‘Why would they rehire her?’” said Michael Beard, a former executive director of the school who retired in 2012. “I was completely shocked.”
The consequences of that decision became clearer earlier this month when Ms. Kim appeared in court to face charges that, not long after she started working again at the academy, she misappropriated $1.5 million from its coffers.
According to a Federal Bureau of Investigation affidavit, over a period of nine months in 2018, Ms. Kim wrote checks to herself and used her academy bank card 120 times to withdraw cash and pay off losses at the MGM Grand Casino in nearby Maryland.
“These losses really hurt us a lot,” said Pamela Gonzales de Cordova, the executive director of the academy, who said the school was brought to the brink of bankruptcy.
Ms. Kim, who has yet to plead in her case, was arrested in November at the MGM casino. She was released on Nov. 20 after promising to stay away from gambling establishments. But, actually, the government said in court papers, she has been back to the casino many times since her release.
...
Ms. Moon, then known as Hoon Sook Pak, was on tour with the Washington Ballet in 1984, preparing for the lead role in “Giselle,” when Rev. Moon’s 17-year-old son, Heung Jin, ran his car off the road. Having died single, he was not eligible to enter heaven under the church’s teachings, so Ms. Moon agreed to marry the dead teen’s spirit in a lavish ceremony in which she carried his portrait.

Unification Church leader, Pak Bo Hi, was detained on fraud charges in 2004
Tumblr media
▲ Pak Bo-hi and his wife are standing in the center.
JoonAng Daily  July 20, 2004 
 By Min Dong-ki
Pak Bo-hi, 74, allegedly the second-ranking official of the Unification Church, has been arrested and detained by prosecutors in Seoul on charges of fraud. The church was founded by Rev. Moon Sun Myung, a controversial religious figure who has called himself the “son of God.”
Mr. Pak allegedly received 2 billion won ($1.7 million) from a real estate developer in December [2003] after promising the developer the rights to build an apartment complex on land in [Sutaek-ri], Guri, Gyeonggi province, owned by Ilhwa Corp., a food processing company owned by the church. The sum was a down payment for the sale of the land, prosecutors said.
Mr. Pak failed to make good on the promise, although the circumstances surrounding the contract are not fully known. Mr. Pak returned only 1.3 billion won to the developer.
A Unification Church official told the JoongAng Ilbo that Mr. Pak was no longer an official of the church, and is only a lay member. He said Mr. Pak had not asked the church to pay back any of the funds that had been given to the developer. It was not clear whether Mr. Pak had any church sanction for the contract.
Mr. Pak was the key official in arranging for Rev. Moon to meet the late North Korean dictator, Kim Il Sung, in Pyeongyang. He founded the Washington Times, a church-owned daily newspaper in Washington, D.C. in 1982; he was also the publisher and president of the Segye Ilbo, a Seoul daily, from 1991 to 1993.

The two captors of the Dutch family held for 9 years had both been members of the Family Federation or Unification Church
Tumblr media
Published October 17, 2019.  Updated October 18 - 22, 2019.
‘John Eagles’ is Gerrit Jan van Dorsten – who ‘imprisoned’ six of his own children on a farm.
Police have rescued six young adults (four women and two men, aged 18-25) of the van Dorsten family living at a remote Dutch farm. Police were alerted when Jan Zon van Dorsten, a 25-year-old man, walked into a local bar. He looked dirty and was wearing old-fashioned clothes. He said he had not had a haircut in nine years. The bar-owner raised the alarm with police after Jan revealed he had never been to school and said he had run away and needed help. He said he wanted his lifestyle to “come to an end.” Jan said he was the oldest of the six children.
The Police came to investigate on Tuesday and found a hidden staircase behind a cabinet in the living room of the farmhouse. At the point when they were discovered, the five other siblings thought that they were the only people left on earth, the broadcaster RTV Drenthe reported. According to reports, they could barely speak and communicated in a “fantasy language” parts of which were “incomprehensible.” The father of the six young adults, Gerrit Jan van Dorsten, 67, was found bed-ridden. He had suffered a stroke about two years previous.
Josef Brunner, 58, who had rented the farm was arrested at the property. Reports say the farm was equipped with motion detectors and security cameras. Locals also claimed Brunner locked the gate and kept watch using binoculars. He’d reportedly chase away anyone who came too close to the secluded property.
After the young adults were released and living in a safe place, the former ‘prisoners’ were observed to be taking part in frequent rituals where they moved in circles. They were then taken to a more private safe location where they are being given appropriate care. The police want to understand what happened over the past decade, but are being considerate of their psychological needs.
Josef Brunner appeared before an examining magistrate on Thursday and was detained for 14 days on suspicion of unlawfully depriving the children of their liberty and money laundering. Later, Gerrit Jan van Dorsten was also arrested.
Brunner was born on March 3, 1961 in Waldhausen, Austria and was one of five peasant children. He completed a carpentry apprenticeship with distinction, but while enrolled in the army in Linz he joined a sect.
He met a Japanese woman who introduced him to the Unification Church (now the Family Federation for World Peace). He had two children with her. Through the ‘Moonies’, Josef Brunner came into contact with Gerrit Jan van Dorsten in the late 1990s. Gerrit Jan had been a member of the Unification Church in the 1980s. He left in 1987 but to this day he still embraces many of their ideas. LINK
Together Joseph Brunner, known as the Austrian, and Gerrit Jan moved to the farm in 2010. Joseph was a carpenter and lived in a caravan behind his workshop. It was some four miles from the farmhouse. Neighbors saw him regularly visit the farm in his Volvo where he dropped off groceries and supplies.
Joseph Brunner’s brother, Franz, claims Joseph became delusional after joining the Unification Church. He said, “Josef has a very strong persuasiveness.” 
Franz said Josef had been married to a Japanese woman.
“In 2006 or 2007, Josef left his wife and children behind in Austria and went to the Netherlands.” Franz told NL Times.
“Josef regularly visited Gerrit Jan van Dorsten with his wife and daughters.” 
“Josef’s daughters, now adults, tried in vain to get in touch with him in 2017.”
The two arrested men had close business ties. Brunner paid the rent on van Dorsten’s toy craft store in Mepple and another storage unit nearby – as well as the rent for the farm.
According to a van Dorsten family statement. “Eight years ago, three older children of Gerrit Jan – Dino (Endino), Shin and Marjan, 29 – fled the family in Hasselt and contacted their brother from a previous marriage, their grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.” 
"The family has taken notice of the events in Ruinerwold with dismay," the statement, translated from Dutch, says.
"Mr Gerrit Jan van Dorsten broke all ties with his immediate family in the 1980s. He told us not to make any attempt to find his place of residence."
"At present, it is the express wish of the family to support the discovered family," the statement said.
Gerrit Jan’s children were never registered with local officials or went to school.
Janny Knol, North Netherlands deputy police chief, said "on the farm there was actually a separate, closed-off area and its main aim was to keep the outside world out," she told Dutch TV. 
She said the imprisoned family were kept in an 'enclosed space' that was 'divided into small compartments.' The room was hidden behind a staircase, behind a locked door. Daylight was allowed inside, and children were occasionally allowed into the yard but they didn't go beyond farm's perimeter fence during nine years of captivity. She said, “We are investigating whether a certain religion or philosophy forms the cause of their living situation.”
Police found “tens of thousands of euros of laundered money” hidden on the property.
Jan Zon van Dorsten, 25, stated that his mother died in 2004 and “every day we are happy to take care of Dad”.
Gerrit Jan was initially believed to be one of the victims of Josef Brunner, but he has now been charged as “co-perpetrator of unlawful deprivation of liberty and of abuse, in the sense of prejudicing the health of others and money laundering.”
When Gerrit Jan and his brother, Derek, both joined the UC in the 1980s, their devoutly Protestant parents were very much against it. The father was a prolific author of Christian novels. Gerrit Jan was active in the UC in Amsterdam.
Gerrit Jan van Dorsten was a member in 1984. He worked as a Munich correspondent for the New York City Tribune at that time.
Gerrit Jan left the Unification Church in 1987. His estranged brother Derek van Dorsten, a long-time member of the UC said, "I have not heard from my brother since 1984."
A Church spokesman, Willem Koetsier, said “Sometimes people with spiritual inclinations found their own church or movement. I think this was the case with him. It could be that he thought he had a special mission.”
After a few years in the UC Gerrit Jan appears to have become ill at ease. According to reports in the Dutch media, he retreated from the church after announcing that he had begun “receiving signals” from Moon’s son, who is regarded as a prophetic figure within the faith. That son was Heung Jin Moon who had died in a car accident on January 2, 1984. 
Heung Jin was buried in Korea on January 8, 1984. A week later, Rev. Moon proclaimed that his son had a new mission and that he was free to travel between his spirit world and our physical world. Rev. Moon also proclaimed that Heung Jin became a leader to Jesus in the spirit realm and that he had assumed the role of “the commander-in-chief” to those who are unmarried in the spirit realm.”

On February 28, 1984, Heung Jin was married postmortem to Hoon-Sook Pak, the daughter of Colonel Bo Hi Pak, one of Moon’s top aides.
Colonel Pak was the president of the Washington Times at that time.

Colonel Pak stated that his son-in-law’s sacrifice “carries far greater importance then the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.” According to Rev.

Hoon-Sook was positive about her unusual marriage. “I will never forget in my whole life and for eternity this greatest honor of being Heung Jin Nim’s bride, which I do not deserve.”
Shortly after the death of Heung Jin, Unificationists in different parts of the world claimed to be receiving messages from him. Most of the alleged revelations took place in 1984, and in 1987 and were published in book form under the title The Victory of Love.
Revelations are also claimed from St. Francis, St. Paul, Kierkegaard, and Jesus. The last speaks both of his submission to Heung Jin and the True Parents. “I will show them that the Lord of lords and the King of kings and the king of glory is our precious Lord Sun Myung Moon and his beloved bride Hak Ja Han. They reign as king and queen of the entire universe. I, Jesus of Nazareth, known as the Christ, bow in humility before them. Any who will follow me must do the same.”
From 1984 Gerrit Jan also received messages from Jesus and Heung Jin Moon.
According to Algemeen Dagblad, Gerrit Jan ascribed “supernatural powers” to himself. 
Older Unification Church members who knew Gerrit Jan in the 1980s had described him as a very "ritual" person who had set up his own group with his family. 
Gerrit Jan’s wife, the mother of nine known children, died in 2004. It is possible he has even more children, the newspaper reported.
In an interview with De Telegraaf, a cousin said, “Gerrit Jan broke with the rest of the family a long time ago,” the 32-year-old cousin said.
“About thirty years ago anyway. There was a lot of disagreement between my parents and my uncle, and between my uncle and the Unification Church. At a certain moment he ran away angry. That was before I was born.”
Joseph Brunner and Gerrit Jan van Dorsten lived next door to each other in Hasselt, south of Ruinerwold before moving to the farmhouse in 2010.
Shortly after Brunner moved in next door to the van Dorsten family, they removed a fence that separated their backyards, according to a neighbor, Sandra Soer. Brunner left the block first, and then in 2004, Geert announced his wife had died of colon cancer, which came as a shock as no one knew she had been sick, Soer said. The family left not long after.
In an interview with the Netherlands' English language news outlet NL Times, the older brother of Josef Brunner said he was not surprised to learn his brother had been arrested.
Franz Brunner described Josef as "greedy, calculating and unpredictable" and the pair had not been in contact for a decade. "He always wanted money and was always after his own advantage.”
The brothers quarrelled over their parent's farm and fell out with Joseph moving out.
In Austria, Josef's brothers told the Kronen Zeitung website that he had joined a sect and had not turned up for the funerals of his parents in the past four years. "He thought he was better than Jesus," brother Franz told the paper. “We've had no contact with him for 10 years. I told him to get lost when he wanted me to become his financial guarantor.”
Police have admitted going to the farm in the past, following up reports of a cannabis farm on the property, but say they never entered the building.
A team of 30 police are now trying to solve the mystery of the farm at Ruinerwold. The farmhouse is still being investigated and other properties have also been searched.
Police will question Gerrit Jan van Dorsten why he reported to Dutch immigration in 2009 that he had emigrated.
A large white board found pinned to a wall had a series of mysterious drawings and numbers in black felt ink. They went from top to bottom, side-to-side and ran across each other without making any sense. The board, and a set of books and records kept by the two men, have been taken away by detectives for analysis and forensic examination.
Police have brought in thermal imaging cameras to search under the soil of the fields around the farmhouse and sniffer dogs to examine underneath floor boards.
In a statement the police said, “We are investigating whether a certain religion or philosophy forms the cause of their living situation. Currently, a great deal of new information is received by us every day. It is our duty to verify the veracity of this information, and its relevance for our investigation. The circumstances the suspects and persons involved lived in require that we be extra careful when conducting our investigation.”

Bo Hi Pak has died
Tumblr media
Korea Times    2019-01-14    By Dong Sun-hwa
Pak Bo-hi, the "No. 2 man" of the Unification Church / Family Federation for World Peace, died from chronic disease at 89 on Saturday. He had been in Cheongshim International Medical Center in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province, since 2018. Born in 1930, Pak fought in the Korean War in 1950. He rose to be the right-hand man of Unification Church founder, Moon Sun-myung in the 1970s, helping Moon with English translation when the church was spreading its influence abroad. Pak's daughter, Hoon-sook, had a "ghost marriage" with Moon's second son, who had been killed in a car accident. 
Tumblr media
Pak was the founding president and chairman of the Washington Times board, and president of the Segye Times newspaper. He was also involved in business with North Korea. When former North Korean leader Kim Il-sung died in 1994, Pak went to North Korea to offer condolences.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_Hi_Pak
Bo Hi Pak (August 18, 1930 – January 12, 2019 in Korea. Korean: 박보희 / 朴普熙) was a prominent member of the Unification Church. During the 1970s and 1980s, he was a major leader in the church movement, leading projects such as newspapers (notably the Washington Times), schools, performing arts projects, political projects such as the anti-communist organization CAUSA International, and was president of the Unification Church International 1977–1991.[1] He was also the president of Little Angels Children's Folk Ballet of Korea.[2]
He was a lieutenant colonel in the South Korean military when he joined the church in the 1950s. Serving church founder Sun Myung Moon as his main English interpreter during speaking tours in the United States, he was referred to in the media as Moon's "right-hand man"[3] (or similarly), such as "Moon's top deputy".[4]
He was the central figure in Moon's publishing businesses, including founding President and Publisher, the News World (later renamed New York City Tribune); founding President and Chairman of the Board, the Washington Times Corporation; and President, World Media Association.[1]
In 1977/1978, Pak testified before the Fraser Committee in its investigation of the Unification Church, commenting: "I am a proud Korean – a proud Moonie – and a dedicated anti-Communist and I intend to remain so the rest of my life."[5] In response to the adversarial investigation, Pak wrote Truth is My Sword. ...
In 1984 Pak was kidnapped in New York City and held for ransom. The FBI arrested the kidnappers, who claimed that the crime was an attempt to change Unification Church policy.[7]
In 1987 at a church gathering, a Zimbabwean Unification Church member who was thought by Moon to be the continuous "channel" on earth for his deceased son Heung Jin Moon, "beat Bo Hi Pak so badly that he was hospitalized for a week in Georgetown Hospital."[8] The Washington Post reported that "Later, Pak underwent surgery in South Korea to repair a blood vessel in his skull, according to Times executives."[9]
In 1994, Pak visited North Korea to attend the funeral of President Kim Il Sung, risking legal trouble by the South Korean government in doing so. In 1998 he visited again, leading a trade delegation representing Unification Church interests with the blessing of the South Korean government.[10]
On July 20, 2004 the Eastern Seoul District Prosecutor imprisoned Dr. Pak and charged him with financial fraud because he was unable to repay his debts to Korean businessmen.[11] In 2006, Pak was released on probation after serving 2 years and 3 ½ months. On November 6, 2006, he sent a letter to be distributed by Unification Church publications worldwide to give an account of his experiences in prison. In the letter he wrote:
Being able to live to the age of 76 was already a great blessing, but in my physical condition, I could not conceive how I would be able to serve time in prison until I became 81. I thought of John the Baptist 2000 years ago. He came with the mission to bear witness about Jesus but ended up dying in prison. I, Bo Hi, have lived with the conviction that I was born with the mission of John the Baptist for the time of the Second Advent.

The Kirov Academy, a Leading Ballet School, to Close in May
The school, founded by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon more than three decades ago, told parents that the closing was related to financial issues.

By Rebecca J. Ritzel Feb. 8, 2022 The Kirov Academy in Washington D.C., an elite ballet school founded by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, leader of the Unification Church, plans to close in May after serving as an important dance training ground for three decades. Parents were informed by email in November that the school was winding down its operations.
“As much as we love the Kirov Academy, we cannot ignore the financial reality,” the Kirov’s executive director Pamela Gonzales de Cordova wrote in the email.
...
Thomas Walsh, the president of the academy and the Universal Peace Federation, founded by Rev. Moon, said in an email: “Last year, it became clear that we could no longer rely on the necessary funding we had received in the past. We made great effort to acquire adequate funds to remain open for one more year so that we could help assure a smooth, dignified transition for our students, as well as faculty and staff.”
...
Tatiana Moon, Rev. Moon’s oldest daughter, had led the academy as president from 2018 until last July.
...
Rev. Moon opened the Kirov in 1990, 36 years after he founded the Unification Church. The religious movement is best known for its mass weddings, business ventures, conservative politics and longtime devotion to Rev. Moon, a self-proclaimed messiah who died in 2012.
His interest in ballet was fueled by his friendship with Hoon Sook Pak, a ballerina and the daughter of a close aide, Bo Hi Pak, who led The Washington Times as its president. In 1984, Hoon Sook Pak was on tour with the Washington Ballet and preparing for the lead role in “Giselle,” when Rev. Moon’s 17-year-old son ran his car off the road. Having died single, he was not eligible to enter heaven under the church’s teachings, so Hoon Sook Pak agreed to marry the dead teen’s spirit in a lavish ceremony in which she carried his portrait.
Tumblr media
Later that year, Rev. Moon created the Universal Ballet company, in which Hoon Sook, who took the name Julia Moon, became a principal dancer. Six years later, a palatial-looking former monastery near Catholic University reopened as the Kirov Academy.
...
After Oleg Vinogradova (the Kirov Ballet’s first artistic director) died in 2008, church subsidies dwindled. In Seoul, the Moon and Pak families opened the Universal Ballet School, lessening the need to send dancers to Washington. “Over the years, they stopped putting money into the Kirov and stopped caring about it,” said Martin Fredmann, who served as artistic director from 2011 to 2013.
The closure comes less than a year after Sophia Kim, a former bookkeeper at the Kirov, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in federal prison for bank fraud after being charged with embezzling more than $1.5 million from academy coffers. ...

A version of this article appears in print on Feb. 9, 2022, Section C, Page 3 of the New York edition with the headline: Kirov Academy to Close Its Elite Ballet School in Washington.

2013 Ex-nonprofit bookkeeper sentenced to two years for tax crimes
A former McLean resident who embezzled more than $800,000 from a nonprofit tied to the Unification Church and then failed to report the income on her tax returns was sentenced to two years in prison, prosecutors said. Sookyeong Kim Sebold, the former bookkeeper of the nonprofit, was sentenced to the prison time on Friday and was also ordered to pay $133,548 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service.

Black Heung Jin Moon Timeline
Tumblr media
▲ Cleophas Kundiona with Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han in January 1988.
Timeline edited, with additional information, from Graham Lester’s original post (link below).
Graham Lester: “The point of my timeline was to demonstrate that Father, Sun Myung Moon, and the Unification Church continued to support Cleophas Kundiona’s ministry even after the extent of the violence became known.
An important point that is missing from my notes is that, after Dr. Bo Hi Pak’s beating, In Jin Nim and Jin Sung Nim, her former husband, tried to persuade Father to withdraw his support for Cleophas. This point came up in discussion on the GVI internet group a couple of years ago. Jin Sung Nim had criticized the members for supporting Cleophas and I stated that Jin Sung Nim and In Jin Nim had been as supportive of Cleophas as everybody else. Andrew Baccus claimed that this was not the case and that they had actually tried to warn Father about Cleophas. Later, I was told the same thing by an elder American member who had heard it directly from Jin Sung Nim himself.
I don’t think that the UC finally withdrew its support for Cleophas until over a year after the beating of Dr. Bo Hi Pak and the beating of the members in Japan.
Here’s a revised timeline on the Cleophas affair. I’m sure some of you can fill in missing details from your own notes.”
January 2, 1984 New York Times: “POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y.,   One of the 13 children of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the founder of the Unification Church, died early today in a hospital here, a hospital spokesman said.
Tumblr media
▲ The Moons bid farewell to Heung Jin Moon in his coffin
February 20, 1984 Washington Post: “Moon married off a dancer in the Washington Ballet named Hoon-sook Pak to the spirit of his recently deceased son. The union was critical because Unification theology teaches that one must be married to ascend to heaven, church members say. The teen-age Heung Jin Nim was single when he died. Hoon-sook Pak, who has since taken the name of Julia Moon, is the daughter of [Bo Hi] Pak, the Washington Times president.
July 1987 Cleophas Kundiona announces that he is Heung Jin Nim to a local leader in Zimbabwe. The Japanese missionary to Zimbabwe informs Rev. Chung Hwan Kwak.
August 1987 Rev. Kwak travels to Africa and meets Cleophas.
Robert Williamson, John Brady and Thomas Cromwell were the UC leaders in Africa who became involved in the Cleophas world tour.
September 6, 1987 Rev. Kwak announces “embodiment” of Heung Jin Nim “24 hours a day” in an African brother. Speech titled “The Accomplishment of True Parents,” given at Belvedere.
Michael Mickler: “Rev. Kwak utilized his monthly “Letter from the Publisher” column in Today’s World to describe the phenomenon and offer guidance to the worldwide membership. According to Rev. Kwak, “Our movement has absolutely needed the kind of personal assistance he has been providing.” He cautioned members against trying to question Heung Jin Nim “about your former experience together” as “many small details of our experience on earth are unneeded and forgotten when we go to the spirit world.” ”
Africa four “conferences”
Greece “conference”
Thailand “conference”
Columbia “conference”
Argentina “conference”
France “conference”
England “conference”
November 18-20 Three-day “conference” at the World Mission Center
Tumblr media
▲ The November 18-20, 1987 “conference” at the New Yorker Hotel
November 21, 1987 Cleophas appears with True Parents at Children’s Day. After his speech, “Children’s Day and the Unification of the Fatherland,” Father announces that, “In the last four days a strong tightly knit organization was formed by Heung Jin Nim.”
November 21, 1987 Takeru Kamiyama gives a testimony at the World Mission Center, New York
“Conference” at the church’s seminary at Barrytown, UTS
“Conference” at the Washington D.C. Church – Damian Anderson: “doors locked”
“Conference” at Aetna Springs, Northern California
Michael Mickler: “These [three conferences in the U.S] were attended by approximately 800 members each. He also conducted a smaller session at the church’s seminary at Barrytown, New York and several more private sessions. Most importantly, he met Rev. and Mrs. Moon and appeared to gain their sanction. According to one description, he “ran over to Father and practically jumped into his arms, saying ‘Father! Father!’ Then he embraced Mother tightly, crying, ‘Mother! Mother!’ “ At the beginning of the New York conference, Hyo Jin Nim Moon, Heung Jin Nim’s elder brother, spoke in tears, stating, “I have the most reason to be skeptical, but now I know it’s my brother. Please receive him.” ”
November ?, 1987 Dr. Bo Hi Pak critically injured by Cleophas.
November 29, 1987 Rev. Sudo announces at Belvedere that Father has accepted Cleophas/HJN “completely as his own son.” Calls the Heung Jin Nim phenomenon a “miracle of miracles.” Warns us not to try to test Cleophas. Hyo Jin Nim introduced him as “my brother” with tears.
In the Children’s Day ceremony on the first floor, the special ceremony, Heung Jin Nim was there. During the ceremony, Father gives everyone rice cake starting with Mother and including Heung Jin Nim. Father accepted him completely as his own son. Mother too. If you believe Father, who can doubt?
Washington Post: “Bo Hi Pak, the Washington Times president, was admitted to Georgetown Hospital for tests … from Dec. 9 to Dec. 17, saying he had recently fallen down a flight of stairs, hospital sources said. No injuries were found.”
December 6, 1987 Takeru Kamiyama gives a speech at Belvedere.
Japan “conference”
Korea “conference”
January 2, 1988 Dr. Pak has open-brain surgery. (Source: speech given by Jin Sung Park at Belvedere on May 15, 1988.)
Washington Post: “Pak underwent surgery in South Korea to repair a blood vessel in his head, according to Washington Times executives.”
January ?, 1988 Rev. Kamiyama’s speaking tour testifying to Cleophas
Rev. Kamiyama’s testimony in Philadelphia (extracts):
More than 7,000 people have been “cleaned up” in Japan by the African hurricane. One 777 couple had set himself up as the new messiah, rematching blessed couples, etc. I felt like killing him. He met Heung Jin Nim and was forgiven by Heung Jin Nim, who beat both him and his wife twice to the point of unconsciousness. Then their heads were shaved. His fifty followers were also brought to Heung Jin Nim. Heung Jin Nim said that Satan has now lost his foundation in Japan, so Japan will make great advancement.
Heung Jin Nim was very angry about oral sex. It is physical; it is not love. One sister said that Father taught that, and he was even angrier. She was handcuffed and beaten.
Hyo Jin Nim testified to Heung Jin Nim, “this is my brother.” He was angry that he had been misinformed about Heung Jin Nim.
Heung Jin Nim asked me what Father had said. I told him that all I remembered was that Father said I would be hit, and he laughed. Peter Kim confessed about misuse of funds. “How much?“ I felt it was not so much. Heung Jin Nim grabbed him by the hair. He was very upset that he could not remember how much. I felt negative. Heung Jin Nim hit him with a rope.
Heung Jin Nim was looking for me: “If necessary, handcuff him and bring him down.”
Some people are happy and excited about forgiveness but the goal is to make unity by surrendering. Heung Jin Nim returned to fulfill this, standing with Hyo Jin Nim as the true absolute Abel. To do this, the unity of the True Children is the most important point. This is done. Hyo Jin Nim testified to Heung Jin Nim, despite being misinformed.
Through confession ceremony, we could be forgiven. We should not have questioned that declaration. It was like saying, "Are you the one who is to come?” We should have just united. Father knew what Heung Jin Nim was doing.
Father told Mr. Kuboki to be absolutely sure that Japan unites with Heung Jin Nim.
I heard all these things personally, and on every single occasion hundreds of other members were also present. I’ve got more in my other notebooks… although I wonder if any of the rest of you remember In Jin Nim’s speech at Belvedere in 1988, when she spoke about the Heung Jin Nim resurrection phenomenon. If she was skeptical, I didn’t notice.
February ?, 1988 National HQ sends out February 1988 “Unification Video News” in which Dr. Durst testifies to Cleophas.
Washington Post: “It is not even clear whether the Zimbabwean’s exalted position is permanent. “He carries the spirit of Heung Jin Nim, but no one knows how long it will stay,” said one senior official in Moon’s organization.”
Summer 1988 Michael Mickler: “By summer 1988, Rev. Moon directed Heung Jin Nim’s embodiment to return to Africa, an order that he disobeyed. At this point, there was a consensus that Heung Jin Nim’s spirit had left the embodiment and an evil spirit had taken over. The reasons for this reversal were complex, but the basic problem was “Black” Heung Jin Nim’s violent treatment of those he believed were not truly following True Parents, a situation that he found intolerable and for which he held the leadership responsible. In addition, reports emerged of his entering European churches on holy days and leaping onto altars for loud prayers, followed by group cheers and hasty exits. Some of this leaked to the press and become a source of embarrassment. In sum, even by the permissive standards applied to one regarded to be a member of the True Family, his excesses became too much for the movement to tolerate.
Once rejected, Black Heung Jin Nim deviated further. He sent a flurry of faxes to church centers denouncing the “evil Kwak” for misrepresenting his work to True Parents. Eventually, he turned against Rev. Moon. There was a reported book burning of Divine Principle in Zimbabwe, and the former embodiment, who resumed using his original name, Cleophas, traveled to Japan where he attacked the church in several interviews. He later impregnated and had a child by the wife of the church’s Japanese missionary to Zimbabwe. He also began his own sect, drawing out with him the bulk of the church’s Zimbabwean membership, eighty or so members.”
July 1992 Cleophas travels from Zimbabwe to Tokyo and gives lengthy press conferences. See videos of the Tokyo press conference.

GARY FLEISHER JUST THROWS OUT A TID BIT ABOUT SAM PAK NOT BEING MOON’S SON
Well, throwing something out off the cuff, like that Annie Choi is a liar, that Daikan Ohnuki was a liar,  that Un Jin and Hoon Sook lied, that In Jin never wanted to be with Sammy, that the photos and postcard sent to Annie are inconclusive,....it is considering a lot of people to be blatant liars and discounting some pretty obvious evidence. Juxtaposed with the statement on God's Day January 1996 where the excellence of the concubine's child was extolled*, and the description of all the restoration that had to be undertaken, it just seems pathetic.
