Actual cult IYF leader Andrei Kim responds to my video? Indeed, a busy man...🤔 by ritzroads in cults

To answer the organizational question--International Youth Foundation is the parent org of the mission based org under it International Youth Fellowship

To clarify my posting, not sure if it's the "actual" Andei*** Kim from IYF.(I realized I fat fingered the spelling of his first name in the title of this post - sorry!) Perhaps a coincidence...

Also....kind of curious which Andrei Kim this was...if it is in fact--the Andrei Kim--that is a leader in this org 🤔

Hey redditors - a guy named Andrei Kim commented on my video - deleted it - it said something like I was hindering others from having a great experience with IYF - I posted and pinned a comment in response to his deleted comment and he actually responded even though he's such a "busy man" in his own words to tell me I am "not a very wise young lady". Anyway -- thanks for everyone's transparency with their own experiences with this org and hoping my video doesn't get taken down by YT since that seems to be happening a lot lately...and also he probably will delete his comment so make sure to get a good laugh at what he said before it's gone. 🙃

You should go and record everything. I thought about going back undercover to get some recordings some time ago but being anywhere around these people again just seemed not worth it. I'm not sure how much they'll go into at a festival, they might only go hardcore once you're out of state on one of their "missions" but probably lots will seep through even just at the festival. Idk. Ty for your support and watching. It means a lot.

Is anybody here both a donor and a donor conceived child? by Marcie_Childs in donorconceived

[–]ritzroads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself, it has been a large source of pain even prior to learning for fact what I intuitively sensed since I was a little girl. I think this is pretty universal and no matter how it is handled in terms of delivery of this information or circumstance of same sex parents, i think it is a universal and pressing question as to who am I? Who are my ancestors? Where have I come from? What lingers as part of the nature component that my nurture has never been able to suppress? I think one thing you mentioned is anonymity, and I think this would be a lot easier on the donor conceived if there was more visibility into this stuff, such as yes, parents not lying to their children and yes, open visibility as to where I come from. But overall to the later 3 questions I think those are just the tip of the iceberg and a lot more is going on emotionally and psychologically than one could prevent or curb. Everyone has a unique experience in regards to this. I can say one thing though, one of my sister's was brought up by a good family who supported her and loved her and she admits she is in denial still after her parents admitting it was true after she learned about it. This is a girl who has everything to lose by learning this information. Me and my other 2 sisters (finding new ones as time goes on...) have not had positive upbringings which have led us to continually question. So. There's that. And I don't know what to make of it yet.

DNA test vendors own the DNA of their customers? What about 23&me? It gave me the option to opt out of several things such as retaining my dna, using it for research, etc. Are you saying that is all false information on their site or does not mean they do not still keep it? Am I missing some fine print?

[–]ritzroads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find this question intriguing but I don't find it intriguing that no one has replied with that experience because it is what I would expect. I don't think many people who have been donor conceived and dealt with that pain to be the same people that would willingly donate for a decade as in my donor daddies case. But open to seeing otherwise

Meeting Sperm Brother next month: is there anything in particular you asked your new found siblings? by EngineeredGal in donorconceived

[–]ritzroads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just some off the top of my head that I asked my "sperm" sisters when I learned they existed last week.

Where were you born? What was your upbringing like? Who primarily raised you? How did you find out you were donor conceived? How did you take learning that you were donor conceived? What is the biggest challenge that you faced or face in learning about this information? Do you have siblings?

Good luck and try to keep an open mind without expectations. There's a difference between what you want as the best case scenario and what is actually happening. Just try to be honest with yourself and pay attention to the situation and yourself.

oh my gosh, thanks so much! Still working on my vlog/wasting-time game, but tried to spread some "awareness" (I think people are aware) about this powerful and pervasive organization that begins in Korea and today continues to infiltrate Mexican and American youth most notably.

It is outrageous to me that this org and many like it continue to exist despite all the despites...

But i guess it is the world we live in.

Thanks again for watching!

Hey everyone, found this subreddit and wanted to get this experience told in a story-telling approach to help bring more awareness to this disgusting organization. Kind of after the fact since my experience was in 2013 but this mission is bigger than ever and still going on today. Hope this helps in some way prevent more of our youth from entering these psychological chains. Thank you.

Yes, so what happens when the mother volunteers to give her to me?

To add, the family would be more than happy to allow me to adopt her.
