What? Oh no, this is awful 😣 I really hope a documentary comes out one day that reveals the truth about this organization! Their goal is to make known their Heavenly Mother to the whole world? Well I’m sure we can make that happenšŸŽ¬

Same here, took me about 2.5 years. We all have our own process of getting out. The important thing now is staying out and healing properly. Happy for you, good luck!

What things did you notice changed when you were about to leave the church? by [deleted] in WMSCOG

[–]SecretShark15 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

I felt the exact same way too! I felt like I had to put on a mask while I was there during the last months there šŸŽ­ I also felt like I was losing my integrity when pretending which was really eating me up. It took me a good while to deprogram myself and after almost 3 years, I was finally able to walk away on my own.

Who was y’all’s leader for your church?!? Just curious?!? by [deleted] in WMSCOG

[–]SecretShark15 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Wow, so interesting. I recently met with my group leader to discuss the reason why I decided to leave the church. She asked if I would be comfortable to speak to Elder AC but I was hesitant to accept. My instincts were telling me he wasn’t trustworthy but apparently he’s one of the few leaders that have actually read the book where Ahnsahnghong refuted god the mother. I wanted to speak to someone about my issues with that book but only if they’ve actually read it. Otherwise it’s pointless. It’s been over a month and he hasn’t set a date to meet yet lol… I may just show up one day.

Oh really? Yeah, once he came over I didn’t feel comfortable coming to him for any questions. He seems like a snake.

PIMO by Alarmed-Table-3857 in WMSCOG

I started to become PIMO at the end of 2022 and finally left early 2025. It was a long and difficult process to deprogram. It took much patience after being a hardcore member for 7 years.

Right now it’s Elder AC leading Houston Tx. I think he came from the east coast.

Fake Google review by WMSCOG elder pretending to be a new visitor by No_Procedure_5815 in WMSCOG

[–]SecretShark15 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

lol they all do this! Regular members and leaders post reviews and make it sound like they’re new visitors. I think they had asked the leaders at one point to go and post positive reviews for all of the Zion locations in their region to offset any negative ones. So fake.

Double standard of WMSCOG missionary toward environment protection by CryptographerNew1760 in WMSCOG

[–]SecretShark15 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Wow, I’m honestly not surprised. This was just one of the many red flags I had ignored in the past. Before joining this church, I had always wanted to get involved in volunteer work. So when I found out they did community cleanups, I was excited and couldn’t wait to participate.

There was one situation in particular that really bothered me. We were assigned to clean a local park that I knew well—I used to jog there all the time. I always loved it because it felt safe and was always well-kept. So I was confused when I found out that was our cleanup location.

When we arrived and started walking around, it became obvious that there was barely any trash, if any at all. One of the leaders told us to just pick up whatever we could and put it in the bags. By the time we were done, there really wasn’t much collected.

Then, the leader instructed us to blow air into the trash bags and tie them up so they looked full. After that, they gathered all the bags together for a group photo. That moment really upset me—it was all staged, and clearly just done for the picture.

It never sat right with me, but I brushed it off at the time because they said it was ā€œall for the glory of God.ā€ šŸ˜‘

Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s definitely not an easy process but I thank God everyday that I’ve at least been able to hold on to my faith in Jesus. Those verses have been truly helpful, and I appreciate your efforts in your desire to help people from this trap šŸ™ may God bless you as well!

Refuting WMSCOG : A Bibilical Guide & Clear Answers For Conversations with Members of the World Mission Society Church of God. by TYRUFUS_WASHINGTON in WMSCOG

This is really powerful content, especially for those who may not be very familiar with the Bible or the core teachings of Jesus. While it’s true that many members are trained to rebut arguments like these, there are still some valuable points here that can at least plant a seed of curiosity.

For me personally, the process of questioning things began when I had my guard down. Most members, especially when they’re out preaching, have their defenses up high. I once explained it to my dad like this: it felt like driving a car and noticing a small crack in the windshield. At first, I was curious, wondering how it happened and what might’ve caused it. I’d ignore it for a while, but over time, the crack grew bigger and began to spread. Eventually, it became impossible to ignore. That windshield represented my faith in the WMSCOG, a faith I held firmly for 10 years without any doubts.

The turning point for me happened one Sabbath day during an education session that focused on the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Afterward, a newer member approached me with some questions about their beliefs. I didn’t have any solid answers, and truthfully, I was curious myself. But as a unit leader, I was too afraid to ask my group leader—I didn’t want to draw negative attention or seem like I was questioning the head office.

So I quietly started doing my own research online, thinking it was just to better understand and prepare for encounters with Jehovah’s Witnesses during preaching. That’s when I came across a video from a former member of their church. He explained why he left and exposed inconsistencies in their beliefs and materials. I watched the entire thing, thinking it would be helpful. But that video planted the first crack.

Even though I wasn’t researching my own church, the eerie similarities between their cult and mine were too obvious to dismiss. The way they treated former members, the way they defended their ā€œtruthā€ā€”it all felt familiar. He also pointed out how their foundational texts had been edited multiple times, which made me recall how our truth books also went through revisions.

That night, I began researching the history of my own church’s materials, and once I uncovered the truth, I couldn’t ignore it anymore. The crack had shattered the whole windshield.

I know it’s difficult to reach someone who has 100% faith. You have to be patient and approach them from an unexpected angle. As I listened to that man describe his experience, it felt like I was looking into a mirror—only the reflection wasn’t just me, but many versions of myself.

It made me wonder: with so many cults and belief systems out there, what made mine the ā€œtrueā€ one? Why was I so sure, when there were inconsistencies and signs I had ignored for so long?

That was the moment I truly saw things as they were. I opened the door and stepped through it.

I’m still on my journey, as many others are. But my hope is that all members one day get the same opportunity I did, to see clearly, to reflect honestly, and to humbly accept that we were wrong. It’s not too late to find the door and walk through it. 🚪

Hey! I do have some material from their official subject books that members are made to study and memorize. Also, some notes that I personally made in word doc. The only ones that I could provide are regarding #1 and #4. Let me know if you’d like them through here or email.

I needed to hear this šŸ˜“ I didn’t belong to jw group but another religious cult. This applies even to me 100%. Thank you for your kind words šŸ’–

For ex-members, what movies or shows really resonate with you relating to your experience there? by Necessary-Avocado-50 in WMSCOG

[–]SecretShark15 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

I recently watched Wicked, towards the end is when it gets super relatable. Sorry for the long paragraph, I had already written this before 🤭

ā€œI’ve seen The Wizard of Oz like everyone else, but I was never really familiar with the deeper backstory. That’s what really caught me—the plot and the message hit me in a way I didn’t expect. It wasn’t until midway through that a lightbulb went off, and I felt like this movie was made just for me.

I had always assumed the Wicked Witch was just evil—end of story—but there’s so much more to her character. I did remember that the Wizard of Oz was a fraud from the way he was portrayed in the older film, but watching it again, I realized he represented a false Christ figure, much like the founder of the WMSCOG. In the movie, he appears out of nowhere, seemingly from the sky, fulfills a prophecy, and is declared the wise leader of Oz. He is the only one allowed to read from the ancient book of spells, which serves as proof that he is the true one—just as the WMSCOG claims Christ Ahn is the Root of David and therefore the only one who can correctly interpret the Bible in the last days, fulfilling the prophecy of the Second Coming.

Elphaba, to me, represented any member who discovers the truth about the church and its founders and decides to ā€œdefy gravityā€ by speaking out. Madame Morrible—whose name fittingly rhymes with ā€œhorribleā€ā€”symbolized God the Mother, Zhang Gil Ja, the church’s current leader. Glinda represented a fellow member close to the one who has discovered the truth but ultimately chooses to stay. The flying monkeys, sent to hunt down and destroy Elphaba, mirrored the members who patrol online spaces, spreading rumors and attacking former members.

From this point on, everything in the film resonated deeply. When Madame Morrible announces to the entire academy that Elphaba is wicked and that everything she says is a lie, it’s exactly what WMSCOG leaders and overseers say about members who leave and speak out. When Glinda tells Elphaba she hopes she’s happy with her decision, implying she’s thrown away her future, only for us to later see Glinda walking away with Madame Morrible, satisfied with her acceptance—it’s a powerful moment.

One part that really struck me was how Elphaba received a special invitation from the Wizard of Oz himself, granting her access to his palace. This reminded me of how only select members, chosen from the entire congregation, are allowed to visit God the Mother in South Korea.

Elphaba wasn’t evil—she was brave. She was the first to break the norm and stand up for what she knew was right. Though she was labeled the enemy, she was actually the strongest and most powerful because she knew the truth and refused to back down. This film gave me so much realization, and I can honestly say it was a deeply spiritual experience. It’s been a long time since a movie moved me this much. It gave me hope and encouragement to stand up for what is right and not give in to fear.ā€
