INSIGHT

Shincheonji's Dual Danger

  • Shincheonji is a high-demand, secretive apocalyptic cult with both severe behavioral and theological damage.
  • They use intense psychological control like fear, guilt, shame, shunning, alongside extreme theological distortions.
ADVICE

Verify Bible Study Groups

  • Always ask clear questions about the identity and origin of any Bible study group before joining.
  • Research thoroughly online to avoid groups using front names with deceptive recruitment.
INSIGHT

Targeting Christians, Not Outsiders

  • Shincheonji aggressively plants itself in Korean churches, actively targeting Christians for recruitment.
  • They are less focused on non-Christians and more on sheep-stealing within Christian communities.
