Summary

In the last cult case of the Cults series, we discuss Jung Myung Seok who broke from the Unification church to start his own similar version. He believed that sin originated when Satan seduced Eve, and the only way to purify sin was through sex with the savior, who was... himself.

Hey, everyone's Jen.

0:25.1

And this is Lindsay.

0:26.6

And welcome back to the last, or is it, episode of Cults from the Corpus Delicti team.

0:34.7

Now, tonight, we have a big story for you.

0:40.9

And next week, we have a surprise. But before we get to that, Lindsay, I think we need another correction corner. We do. So we unintentionally have

0:50.8

another correction about the Mormon faith, or as we have since learned, that is the nickname.

0:57.8

It is actually, they prefer for it to be called the full name, which is the Church of Jesus

1:03.5

Christ of Latter-day Saints.

1:05.7

But since that is a long term, a lot of people just call it the Mormon faith, but that is what they

1:11.1

but then there is an offshoot, which is what the last episode was referring to.

We have really cool, amazing listeners who are like, hey, just wanted to let you know.

1:42.9

They're not chewing us out

1:44.5

or anything when they totally could because it's their religion. We deserve it. But they're like,

1:50.3

hey, I just want you to know. There's misconceptions out there. So we appreciate them letting us know

1:55.3

in a friendly, helpful way where we can all kind of learn something in the process. We do want to say an amazing heartfelt thank you to Deanna.

2:06.2

She sent us this gorgeous hand-painted picture, painting of the logo that she designed for us.

It was framed.

2:16.7

It was gorgeous.
