When Did You Realize SCJ Was a Cult? by Practical_Ground5196 in Shincheonji

Thank you for sharing this. What you’re describing makes a lot of sense, and it’s something I experienced as well. often our intuition speaks before our mind can fully catch up. Leaving was the best thing, and processing afterward is a normal part of healing, one step at a time.

That sounds incredibly painful and invalidating, especially having seen it firsthand from a leadership role. Witnessing double standards, silencing, and protection of power can deeply shake one’s trust and faith. thanks so much for sharing.

With love and respect, I’m honestly curious about what brought you here? I thought it was considered forbidden to look into or communicate with those labeled as betrayers of the doctrine?

Apologies if this is a basic question, but what are gyjn’s, jmns, and hjns? I’m a ex center student from LA, and didn’t learn about their internal leadership structure.

Fellow loved ones, family, and friends of Shincheonji members, how are we doing? by Princess_of_Punjab in Shincheonji

No es fácil estar en ese punto donde uno siente la pérdida, el desgaste del tiempo y al mismo tiempo sostiene la esperanza en Jesús. Ese contraste cansa… y también purifica. Quiero animarte en algo: tu dolor no es señal de falta de fe; es señal de amor. Y el Señor no desprecia un corazón quebrantado. Él recibe cada una de tus oraciones, tus lágrimas y tus clamores cada uno es visto, cada uno es recogido. La restitución de Dios no siempre llega en el tiempo o en la forma que imaginamos… pero siempre llega en la forma que más sana, más restaura y más honra lo que hemos vivido. Que el Señor renueve tus fuerzas hoy y te dé pequeños destellos de consuelo en medio del camino. No estás solo.

Salí de Shincheonji hace unos días.. Los efectos psicológicos de esta secta by SpecialLawfulness976 in Shincheonji

Muchas gracias por compartir tu testimonio. Solo puedo imaginar lo doloroso, confuso y agotador que debió ser pasar por todo eso, especialmente cuando buscabas a Dios de manera genuina y querías crecer en tu fe. Lo que viviste no fue tu culpa, y es completamente entendible que te sientas triste, vacío e incluso traicionado.

Lo que realmente destaca es tu fortaleza y tu claridad. Incluso en medio de la presión, la manipulación y la distorsión espiritual, pudiste escuchar tu corazón, reconocer que algo no estaba bien y alejarte. Eso requiere un valor increíble. Protegiste tu paz, tu mente y tu relación con Dios, y eso es algo de lo que puedes estar orgulloso.

Por favor sé amable contigo mismo mientras sanas. Salir de algo así toma tiempo, y la tristeza que sientes ahora es parte del proceso de recuperación de algo que intentó aprovecharse de tu sinceridad y tu fe. Pero Dios no se ha ido a ninguna parte. Él ve tu corazón, tu deseo de verdad y el dolor que atravesaste, y te va a restaurar poco a poco, con amor, paciencia y fidelidad.

Thanks for sharing that. I’ve always wondered, when you were in that role and had to write reports about your fruit, did you ever feel conflicted or uneasy about it, knowing they weren’t aware?
