I Visited "The Good Words Project" at Venice Beach Today (Livestream & Observations)

Today I visited The Good Words Project event at Venice Beach and livestreamed my visit.

My goal was not to protest or interrupt the event. I simply wanted to observe what was happening, ask respectful questions, and document the experience from a public space.

During the livestream, I intentionally did not discuss Shincheonji or make accusations. I wanted viewers to see the event without influencing their first impression.

However, based on my own knowledge and previous interactions, I recognized several SCJ members, including instructor, JDSN, BJN, Press Team, Bonsa Team, and many others. I also participated in part of the event myself so I could better understand the process, including what information participants were asked to provide and how the event was being organized.

Over the next few days, I'll review all of the footage and publish a separate video with my observations and analysis.

If you watched the livestream, I'd be interested to hear what stood out to you.

ZCMG/Shincheonji Is Hosting the European Christian Leaders' Summit 2026 in Frankfurt This Weekend

A few days ago, someone asked about the upcoming European Christian Leaders' Summit 2026 in Frankfurt. That discussion can be found here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Shincheonji/comments/1u8iwbe/seminar_on_saturday/

After reading the information that was shared in that thread, I created a short awareness video about ZCMG (Zion Christian Mission Group) and its connection to Shincheonji.

According to ZCMG's own materials, the summit is being promoted to Christian pastors and church leaders across Europe, including Germany, France, Spain, Austria, and Czechia. 

For anyone interested, here are the official resources:

I created this short video after reading the information shared in the Reddit discussion above.

Awareness Video

What Is ZCMG? The Connection to Shincheonji

https://youtube.com/shorts/4Qzu_-LAX4Y

I have decided to promote this video on YouTube through next Monday in hopes that more pastors, church leaders, theology students, and Christians across Europe will see this information before attending the event.

If you are in Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Czechia, or elsewhere in Europe, please consider sharing this video with pastors, church leaders, and fellow Christians who may be interested in attending the summit.

Please help spread awareness before the summit begins.

Entrevista completa de Kim Nam-hee (ex líder de IWPG) con subtítulos en español

Quiero expresar mi más sincero agradecimiento a la persona que dedicó incontables horas a traducir esta entrevista al español. Este proyecto no habría sido posible sin su enorme esfuerzo y dedicación.

A lo largo de los años, muchas personas me han dicho que el testimonio de Kim Nam-hee les ayudó a cuestionar Shincheonji y, finalmente, a abandonar el grupo. Por esta razón, considero que esta es una de las entrevistas más importantes disponibles para quienes desean comprender mejor la historia y el funcionamiento interno de Shincheonji.

Kim Nam-hee fue una de las personas más cercanas a Lee Man-hee y desempeñó un papel clave dentro de Shincheonji, HWPL e IWPG antes de abandonar la organización en 2016.

Si eres miembro de Shincheonji en un país de habla hispana, te animo a ver esta entrevista completa y a escuchar atentamente su testimonio.

Espero que este recurso pueda ayudar a muchas personas a tomar decisiones informadas por sí mismas.

Gracias por verlo y compartirlo.

Full Kim Nam-hee Interview (Former IWPG Leader) – Now Available with Spanish Subtitles

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the person who spent countless hours translating this interview into Spanish. This project would not have been possible without their hard work, dedication, and sacrifice.

Over the years, many people have told me that Kim Nam-hee's testimony played an important role in helping them question Shincheonji and eventually leave the organization. For that reason, I believe this is one of the most important interviews available for anyone seeking to better understand Shincheonji and its inner workings.

Kim Nam-hee was one of the people closest to Lee Man-hee and played a key leadership role within Shincheonji, HWPL, and IWPG before leaving the organization in 2016.

If you are a Shincheonji member in the Spanish-speaking world, I strongly encourage you to watch this interview in its entirety and carefully consider her testimony. My hope is that this resource will help many people make informed decisions for themselves. Thank you for watching and sharing.

Thank You Everyone — Please Keep Speaking Up About HWPL & Shincheonji (The King Center)

Thank you to everyone who commented, shared information, and helped raise awareness during today’s livestream with The King Center and HWPL Georgia.

Although the livestream had only around 150 online participants, many Shincheonji members continuously flooded the live chat to bury concerns and critical comments about HWPL’s connection to Shincheonji (New Heaven New Earth).

Still, many people saw the comments, asked questions, and became aware that there is another side to this story — especially the voices of former members and affected families.

At the end of the event, a QR code was shown asking viewers to share feedback about the event. If you have time, please also leave respectful feedback there and express your concerns about HWPL’s connection to Shincheonji.

If possible, please also consider respectfully contacting The King Center and encouraging them to carefully research HWPL and listen to former members before future partnerships.

Real peace must include honesty, transparency, and truth.

HWPL Georgia + The King Center livestream starts in 30 minutes — please share your experiences here

In 30 minutes, HWPL Georgia will host a livestream event with Bernice King and The King Center.

Many people still do not know that HWPL is widely connected to Shincheonji Church of Jesus and has been criticized by former members and families for hiding that connection during “peace” activities and interfaith events.

If you are a former member, current member, family member, or someone who attended HWPL events, please share your experiences and thoughts in the comments.

Examples:

•	Were you told HWPL was connected to Shincheonji?

•	Did recruiters hide their religious identity at first?

•	What was your experience inside HWPL or Shincheonji?

•	What do you think “peace” means in this context?

Real experiences help people understand what is happening behind the public image.

This Saturday, Please Join The King Center Livestream and Respectfully Raise Awareness About HWPL’s Connection to Shincheonji

The King Center, founded to preserve the legacy and philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., is one of the most respected peace and civil rights organizations in the United States.

Its CEO, Rev. Dr. Bernice A. King, is the daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and continues to speak publicly on nonviolence, justice, reconciliation, and faith.

That is why this upcoming partnership deserves attention.

This Saturday, The King Center will host another online event in partnership with HWPL Georgia titled:

“Nonviolence & Faith as a Necessary Methodology for Peace Building”

HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) was founded by Lee Man-hee, the founder and leader of Shincheonji, a controversial religious movement from South Korea that has faced criticism internationally over deceptive recruitment practices and high-control group behavior.

Many former members, families, pastors, researchers, and journalists have publicly raised concerns for years about the relationship between HWPL and Shincheonji.

It is unclear how much The King Center or its audience knows about HWPL’s background and connection to Shincheonji. Because of that, I believe this is an important opportunity to respectfully raise awareness publicly during the livestream.

If you participate in the livestream chat, please keep comments factual, respectful, and based on personal experience where possible.

Since many people in this subreddit are former members or directly affected by Shincheonji and HWPL, personal testimonies may be especially meaningful.

Examples of things people may choose to share:

  • that they were involved in HWPL while also being part of Shincheonji
  • that Shincheonji affiliation was hidden during HWPL activities
  • concerns about recruitment methods connected to HWPL relationships and events
  • concerns about Lee Man-hee’s role and influence within HWPL
  • personal experiences regarding pressure, control, or image management inside the organization
  • concerns that HWPL’s vision of “peace” is closely tied to Shincheonji’s broader religious worldview and influence

Examples:

  • “HWPL was founded by Shincheonji leader Lee Man-hee.”
  • “I participated in HWPL activities while involved in Shincheonji.”
  • “In my experience, the Shincheonji connection was not openly explained to outsiders.”
  • “Please research the relationship between HWPL and Shincheonji.”
  • “Many former members and families have raised concerns about Shincheonji’s recruitment practices.”
  • “Organizations should carefully review partnerships connected to Shincheonji.”

This is not about harassment or attacking Dr. Bernice King or The King Center.
It is about transparency, awareness, and informed partnerships.

This account/group appears to be operating as a Shincheonji front in Montreal under the name “Net-workers.” They promote “free Bible studies” and build relationships before introducing their teachings.
