The church, founded Moon Jae In 1984, has gained converts with a basic message. Shinchonji members "pursue and practice love, forgiveness, and blessings to become actual love as themselves" according to the church. Mannam has been no less phenomenal. Since its founding nine years ago with 700 members, the Mannam Volunteer Association has grown to 70,000 members.

To ALL the foreigners in Korea! I was tricked and duped in attending one of the programs from Mannam without knowing their association to the Shinchonji cult. At first, it started innocently enough: a group of young and pretty Korean girls approached me asking me if I wanted to learn Korean for free and I said why not and joined.

While men mostly stuck to the two banks of urinals, there was one squatter designated for us. Meanwhile, the women were coming directly in from a separate door, where they had to wait their turn for two stalls. So, Kim Swoo-geun, consider me disillusioned. Coming back in, I stopped to take this picture below. Immediately I was roughly grabbed by two guards, and a third grabbed my camera. I wrestled it back (although this probably explains why the lens spontaneously popped out later on). They told me only staff was allowed in here, despite the fact we'd already been allowed in, they'd let me out when I went to use the washroom, and just seconds prior to this picture they'd allowed me back in.
