My dad was leader of Moonies sex cult who bedded brides to ‘purify wombs’… but abuse by MUM from 5 was my darkest secret
Published By admin
GROWING up, Sam Park always knew he was a ‘Blessed Child’ but discovering his real father was the ‘Second Coming of Christ’ who ‘owned the universe’ was a lot to live with.
Especially since his dad, the founder of Unification Church – better known as The Moonies – was busy positioning himself as the Messiah who would save the world from hell.
This revelation was to have a damaging life-long effect on Sam as he learnt how his Korean-born father, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, used the church to satisfy his voracious sexual appetite.
The cult leader indulged in group sex with his “Disciples”, and made couples drink “Holy Wine”, laced with his own semen in mass wedding ceremonies.
There were also accusations that he brainwashed young, impressionable people drawn to the movement, looking for a purpose in life.
But even darker and more personal for Sam was the sexual abuse he received from the woman he later learnt was his biological mother which began when he was just five years old.
“I am the product of the evilness that they hid and I’m not going to be silent about it anymore because it’s destroyed my life,” says Sam, who features in the documentary, The Moonies: Married to the Cult, which can be seen on Amazon Prime from this Sunday.
Raised in poverty in Korea, Sun Myung Moon was 16 when, he claims he was visited by Jesus Christ and given his world-saving mission in life. He wrote his own version of the Bible, Divine Principle, which he used to instruct his followers who were recruited first in Korea and then in the United States.
“As a Blessed Child in the Unification Church, they put extreme pressure on me,” says Sam, who lives in Arizona. “You are responsible to save and restore mankind.
“You need to be sexually pure and marry a mate that you can procreate with and populate the world with perfected people. That way, original sin will eventually be stamped out.”
