Show 'Moonies' Dear Editor: During the last few months Vernal has been inundated several times with members of the Unification Church. They solicit businesses and residential areas, usually selling cheap jewelry or flowers. They claim they are working with the youth or the needy children of the area and intimate that the money they are soliciting will be used for this purpose, in reality, they are followers of Reverend Sun Myung Moon and are better known as "Moonies", members of one of the most dangerous cults in America. They believe that Reverend Moon is the Messiah and "God of the Universe" and that they are only indulging in-dulging in what they call "Heavenly Deception" when they tell you that the money they are asking for will be used for the youth or needy children of this area. Every cent of that money goes for the further glorification of Reverend Moon. Through one of the most brilliant brain washing programs ever conceived conceiv-ed these young people are reduced to pre-pubescent levels of intelligence and turned into virtual robots. In addition to soliciting money they are also seeking out young people suitable for conversion. conver-sion. They prey primarily on those young people who are going through the transition from youth to adulthood. I support anyone's right to believe as they wish but I also believe that lying and cheating and the systematic destruction of young minds goes beyond the bounds of fair play and that in the case of the "Moonies" and the Unification Unifica-tion Church, forewarned is forearmed. |
