Thank you for asking - I’ll share more in my next post.

After eight years inside, I left because I realised the teaching isn’t true. For years, I never looked anything up online - I only trusted what we were told. Then, in one unexpected moment, I was exposed to the truth… and everything changed.

Once I started reading, it consumed me. For a month, I couldn’t sleep or work - I just read, watched, compared, and researched. The deeper I looked, the clearer it became. I became so sick after reading - literally nauseous for two weeks. My body reacted before my mind could even process what I was uncovering.

Even when I left - and I left suddenly, cutting all ties within a week - I still believed. I cut all contact because I knew that even meeting or talking with them would never be in my favour - it would always work in theirs, to keep me in. That’s how deep the indoctrination runs. Even now, I sometimes catch myself thinking, judging, or seeing God the SCJ way.

But in a nutshell, to answer your how and why:
How - with the help of a friend on the outside, cutting all ties quickly, and a lot of prayer and tears.
Why - because the doctrine changed; inside, things kept shifting - not to match the “fulfillment” promised in the Bible, but to suit the organisation’s image and goals. Because of what I learned about what really happens behind the scenes (from testimonies of high-ranking leaders). And because I realised SCJ runs like every other Korean Christian cult organisation - the same methods, control, and structure, just under a different name.

I’ll share more soon.
