I'm not on here asking for help in dealing with the Moonies, I merely asked a specific question hoping to stimulate some conversation on a limited topic. We as a community are dealing with these people as we see fit. Let me give you an example of what is going on around here.
Take a look at the website listed below (Service for Peace). Service for Peace is a "Moonie" organization. Of course these organizations will never tell you they are part of the Moon empire. On their website, lower right is a schedule of events. You will notice an event in the community of West Lanham Hills which is listed as one of their events. That is where I live and I have been active in the community for many years. OUR COMMUNITY DID NOT KNOW AND DID NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR THIS EVENT, WHICH WAS A COMMUNITY-ONLY EVENT, TO BE INCLUDED AS PART OF A SCHEDULE OF MOONIE EVENTS.
This happened because the president of our community association was a Moonie at that time and is no longer in office.
If you click on the West Lanham Hills event, you can read what the Moonies have to say about it. They act like it was their event. They are telling a blatant lie when they say that the kids got out of hand but they controlled the situation. They did no such thing and no kids got out of hand. They were a few Moonies there wearing Service for Peace T shirts, but that was it. I was present during the entire event.
When I brought this matter up at our next community meeting, the Moonie president attacked me as a person who was attacking her religion and refused to discuss the matter or allow the printouts of the website you just looked at to be put into the meeting records.
I am currently vice president of the West Lanham Hills Citizens' Assn., Inc., and have since gotten these items into the record. I have created an awareness in the community that we have to watch out for the Moonies. I consider them to be the biggest threat we as a community face at the present time.
Since you asked, there is one large Moonie family living in our community. They are major players and you can read their writings on Moonie websites all over the place as well as in Moonie publications such as the Washington Times and the World and I. We also have a Moonie school (New Hope Academy) in an adjacent neighborhood (Landover Hills). If you go to the website for this school, they are very ready to tell you how great they are, but again, they will not tell you that they are part of the Moon empire.
I do not feel it would be proper to reveal the names of the persons I am discussing, but their website (WAIT) is listed below. This group looks really honorable and motivtated towards a good goal, but you will notice that they say nothing about belonging to the Moon empire. Moonie websites discussing this group say they are used to bring young people into the Unification Church.
