Maple exposes JMS cult, shares personal story to warn others in South Korea
Published By admin
Maple, who exposed JMS (Christian Gospel Mission) through Netflix’s “I’m God” and “I’m a Survivor,” left a lengthy message expressing her feelings.
On the 26th, Maple said, “I don’t know how to describe myself when introducing myself, but my title might be ‘the woman who revealed the truth about the cult JMS,’ right? Most people who know me got to know my story through the Netflix documentary “I’m God” or “I’m a Survivor.” I filed a lawsuit against JMS when I was 28 years old, which was three years ago, and I disclosed my face, real name, and details of my victimization. That’s how I was able to bring down that large group with a 40-year history.”
Maple, who escaped from JMS and exposed their sexual crimes, causing a stir in Korean society, recently published a book titled “Trace” containing her story.
She noted, “The story is already known, so why would I publish a book to tell that story again? After watching the documentary, you might still have many questions. You might think that cults or sexual victimization are far from you. I think it’s because you don’t know in detail what I went through.” She continued, “In the book, I detailed the process from when I was 16 or 17 years old, when I was evangelized, through the brainwashing process, departure, and the lawsuit. My personal meaning is to write about that pain to整理 my thoughts and heal. I hope that seeing my footprints helps you realize, ‘Oh, if I go that way, I could end up on the wrong path’ and serves as a warning so you can avoid such harm.”
