I gave my baby away to gun-toting cult run by ‘King Bullet Head’ who brandishes a gold-plated AK47 – I have no regrets
Published By admin with Comments 0
At the Rod of Iron Ministries, couples parade with AK rifles, and their rap-loving leader, Pastor Hyung Jin Sean Moon, wields a gold-plated version, while sporting a crown of bullets.
The dedicated congregation are pro-guns and pro-Trump and fiercely opposed to gay sex and abortion.
‘Matched’ in arranged marriages, they take part in mass weddings and often celebrate the union with joint target practice.
Now, a new documentary – fronted by Taskmaster comedian and documentary-maker Jamali Maddix – lifts the lid on what life inside the Church is really like.
The episode, called King Bullet Head and the Gun Church, airs today as part of a series called Jamali Maddix: Follow The Leader, where Jamali shadows various radical groups in America.
It is produced by investigative journalist Louis Theroux’s production company, Mindhouse.
Jamali meets the Church’s leader, Pastor Sean Moon, in Tennessee, America’s Bible belt and long-standing Church members, including grandmother-of-four Fran Ichijo, 70, and her husband Yoshi, 74.
Talking to The Sun about the sect – which was spawned from the infamous Moonies run by the Pastor’s father, Rev. Sun Myung Moon – Fran denied claims that the members were ‘brainwashed’
She admits she gives 10 per cent of her income to the church but insists it’s voluntary.
“No one is forced to give anything or do anything,” she says.
“People think Moonies are weird, but we’re just normal folks. I have a farm, a puppy, a husband, and four grandkids.”
The Rod of Iron Church, also known as the Sanctuary Church, grabbed headlines in 2018 after holding a ceremony with AR-15 guns just two weeks after a school massacre, which saw 17 children murdered in Florida by a shooter wielding an AR-15.
Critics, including anti-gun activists, slammed the event as tasteless and irresponsible.
But speaking to The Sun over Zoom, from her Tennessee farm, member Fran insists the Church endorse them so families can protect their loved ones and community.
She says: “If you look at many of the school shootings, the bad guy or girl is stopped by a gun so imagine if you have evil people who get guns and everybody is armed and trained to stop them. We have to defend ourselves against evil people.
