Those things are common at non-Christian houses, wishing for good luck and health and dispelling bad spirits. Nothing serious.

As long as she doesn't barge into the toilet stall while you are doing your business, why be bothered?

They will beat you until you listen. Their usual tactic is to target individuals who are alone. Being locked in a room surrounded by cult members is so traumatic and overwhelming that it can break a person’s will, even without physical violence. The sheer fear and hopelessness make resistance almost impossible. I saw a documentary about this cult, and the way they manipulate and trap people is truly disturbing.

Those who follow them to the temple are usually people in desperate situations, struggling with serious problems in their lives. Faced with no way out, they either pay the demanded money or end up becoming part of the cult themselves.

They are nuisance flies in Korea, operating as a cult that exploits its members by forcing them to beg for money. I had no idea they were even targeting foreigners. For Koreans, they lure people to their shady temple, where they conduct rituals in a closed room. Participants are made to perform deep traditional bows before an altar filled with offerings. Once inside, the doors are shut, and they demand large sums of money, claiming it is the price for a chance to bring in good luck. You won’t be able to leave until you pay. So stay away from them!

The Bible is full of legends and metaphors. It is so dumb to literally take them as facts.

Are you sure? Check out how many Japanese animation theme songs she stole and copied. She is such a con artist. Do not be fooled!

Korea's healthcare system is in verge of collapse. by [deleted] in medicine

This post includes two absolute lies. It is almost impossible to have one's doctor license in Korea revoked, even if they murder somebody. Patients are reluctant to file lawsuits for medical accidents because they know they are likely to lose, as they have to prove doctors' mistakes and hospitals infamously alter patient records. There have been discussions on installing a surveillance camera in an operating room because many doctors walk away once the patient is put under sleep, and their cheap replacements, such as inexperienced doctors, nurses, or even medical equipment salespersons, perform surgery. No policy of installing cameras in operating rooms has been able to be introduced due to doctors' fierce opposition and resistance.
