Mother is confirmed to be a Moonie. Moonies in America now worship guns as well as Moon, and train regularly for war at their enormous battle camps in Texas, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania.
***He may not be a Moonie now, but likely influenced by the decades of indoctrination into their gun culture.***

(6,269 posts)and I know she was cajoled and continuously encouraged to give up the cash to the Sung Mung Moon church. That is their thing. Hundreds of millions of dollars to help the RW in this country. How do I know? In 1975 I was encouraged to attend their 'meetings'. If they had no reason to keep you you were not encouraged to stay, I ended up a driver of their bus to their private retreat in Massachusetts.
I did this for a few months until one day out in the woods around their 'retreat' I heard screaming and started to move toward it. This was a moony just screaming and screaming alone. I asked if I could help and she started screaming at me. I backed off, went back to the bus drove back to Boston and quit that very day.
The look in that moonies eyes scared me. How could she be driven to such madness at life, religion??? All I know is Sung Mung Moon was supposed to be the return of Jesus and I realized that was a lie. He was just a typical religious charlatan who made millions with his 'church'. And now these quasi-military camps are 'training' his followers to do what?!? WTF!
