I found a video from one of the Moon children/grandchildren, in support of polygyny. The ministry,if you can call it that, is known as Rod of Iron Ministries. It turns out, they own some retreat centers.. It might be nice to be able to attend one of these retreats and use the actual name "Biblical Families". Also, it might be nice to have a retreat where we can use our actual name!

Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.

Good find!
Whoa! Moon as in Korean Moonies?
That dude had some crazy doctrinal messianic sh*t, drinking blood and other wacky things. Are they continuing that legacy?
But if we could use their centers without signing on to any weird theology it would be convenient.
Yeah that dude! Weird stuff, I know! It kind of morphed from some Korean cult that had some sex magic in it, and it got interwoven with Christianity/End times ideology. This Rod of Iron was started by the youngest son who has disavowed the current Moonie group, on account of them not being faithful to the original teachings of his father.
I remember the reports of the original Moonies having mass weddings. The couple would meet as the line formed for the ceremony, men in one line and women in another, and they'd pair up as the two lines merged. They had some interesting practices... .
They had an interesting way of evangelizing, I think that it was something like “Flirty Evangelism”, the Flirty part is totally accurate but I’m not sure about the second word.
At any rate, the girls would draw guys in by flirting with them and would keep up the pretense until the guys were fully immersed in their cult.
1960-70’s version of romance scams?

That’s an interesting questioning.
a good pragmatist would say....
Well, hotels and other sites have been used where im sure the corporate entities behind them likely finance all kinds of ungodly things.
I’m sure even some of the Christian retreat centers are not all too innocent of interesting viewpoints as well.
Just don’t be surprised if you see some strange Korean folks walking up to your door one random day after going to their centers and giving your address and other personal info
No! You are thinking of the Children of God cult started by Moses David Berg..
Well it didn't work out too well for sone of the chidren of Sun Myung Moon.
Well, again it is not the same ministry. It is a breakaway ministry. I love talking to Mormons myself, since it gives me great opportunities to plant seeds of truth.Well, hotels and other sites have been used where im sure the corporate entities behind them likely finance all kinds of ungodly things.

Ahh, you are right.
The term was Flirty Fishing.
Believe it or not, my research into that group, was part of the path that led me to understand that polygyny is not sinful and that there might possibly be other fellow believers who realize that as well.
Interesting! That’s a great story. I’m not discounting the group. I don’t really know them. I just know that their root is a bad root. Hopefully they’ve been grafted onto a better branch.
Hopefully they aren’t just grifters capitalizing on the market for the God, Guns and prepping culture.
