I guess I'm not to old to have heard it all

This is a good summary into the background of the World Mission Society (WMS), but there is more which is quite disturbing. Speaking from experience, my daughter (22) is tangled up with this group for the last 7 months. It is not only that they practice what they believe to be true, but they are outspoken against Catholicism, the Pope, any traditional Christian order. They are against religious statues, Cross/Crucifix, rosary, etc, for these are forms of idolatry. Their teachings in seminars, internet, books boldly describe the Catholic Church to follow pagan traditions, are heretics, and the Pope is Satanic. They believe that Pope Frances will be the last Pope (to some number in the Bible/Revelations). The reason for Ahn Sahng-hong was that someone had to come back for our salvation (also in Revelations ), in which they claim that Jesus died for us to just take on our sinfulness, not our salvation. Ahn Sahng-hong emphasized Passover, Sabbath (Saturday worship), veils for women, for example. They claim 99% events predicted in Revelations happened, and on a number of occasions predicted the end of the world, the 2012 being last the major prediction.

WMS use tactics that instills fear of eternal damnation if one does not follow their doctrine (they are God’s only chose people of which they are called), and interprets scriptures and Bible verses so to show proof of their credibility. They are cunning and convincing, prey on young adults - by themselves - primarily in public/college areas. They are all consuming, having individuals “baptized” into this order, indoctrinate them to their beliefs via “studies” in the Bible; and demand/expect attendance to umpteen services, meetings, social events throughout each week, that it is impossible for one to maintain their traditional relationships/family units, responsibilities (judgement is altered to the benefit of the WMS), not to mention for these young adults to plan furthering their education, careers and maintain their livelihoods. They await the end of the world. I recently attended Bible study on Galatians, and that was my calling to understand what WMS really were: Judaizers .

So, since I brought up my daughter who is unfortunately a part of this group; this is the main reason why I joined Catholic Answers forum. Her involvement and dismissal of our family in our Catholic traditions is heartbreaking and I am seeking advice on a) how to cope in general, b) undo the brainwashing, c) and for her to come back to Catholicism.

Sad but hopeful,
Goodforgood

Prayers for you and your family for sure!

Okay, so I had an odd encounter at Wal*mart today. I’m in the toy isle minding my own business, (adding to my Hot Wheels collection) when this young, nervous fella walks up to me and says:“Excuse me sir. Do you read the bible?” I chuckled to myself, and said “yes, I have” He then said:“I belong to a church that teaches God the Mother” At first, I thought it was a prank, but he continued" We call Jesus Father, and we are called Children of God. Therefore, God is our Mother." I really didn’t have the heart to tell him that he’s teaching false Mormon doctrine, but he then gave me his card, and said if I can go to his church, he’d show me from the Bible where they get their teaching. The church? World Mission Society Church of God. I can honestly say, I never heard of such a “church”

Wait till the grandparents show up!

" God the Mother" statements show up in Episcopal services every now and again-our Rector slipped it in last week

received with stunned silence

Regarding cmodrmac’s post: " God the Mother" statements show up in Episcopal services every now and again-our Rector slipped it in last week"…

Did anybody followup with the Rector after services about the “God the Mother” statement!!! Looking on an Episcopal website, the only mention was Saint Mary the Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. The only sources that came up for a “God the Mother” related to the World Mission Society. Good grief… say it isn’t so!
