INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Background of Study Literature has been created by literary writer to be known by the readers. The readers are not limited to time and age . It is open for those who like literary works as source of knowledge about man and his life .Since we were child, in elementary school, junior high school and high school, we had learned about literature. Literature was taught by our teacher to us. Ress (1973: 2) says, literature is a writing which expresses and communicates thoughts, feelings and attitudes towards life. Literature is different from advertisements, the travel booklet, journal, etc. Even though thoughts, feelings, and attitudes are also expressed by them;they are not literature. The language use in advertisements, travel booklet, journal is different from language of literature.Language of literature is full with color or imagination that is not used in daily language. To say simply, the language of literature is connotative rather than denotative. Taylor (1997:15) says, “literature like other arts is essentially an imaginative act of writer’s imagination in selecting, ordering, and interpreting life experiences”. It means that literature is a writing that is delivered our thoughts and feelings.There are three genres in literature, they are poem or poetry, drama, and prose. Prose includes novel or romance and short story. Drama is literature designed to be performed by actors and focus on a single character or small number of characters . Ress (1973:202) says that “ Short story is a form or genre having rules of its own .” 1 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Novel is one of literature is a story longer , more realistic and more complicated and now the most widely read of all kinds of literature, and one is supprised to find as its name suggests that it is fairly. Poetry expresses a conversation or interchange that is grounded in the most deeply felt experiences of human beings.

    Rev. Falwell, Rev. Sun Myung Moon and The Love of Money In this teaching we will be looking at the ‘fruit' of some of the most prominent ‘Christian' figures in America. This list will include: The late Rev. Jerry Falwell, Timothy La Haye 'Left Behind', Gary Bauer, Bill Bright, Paul Crouch, Dr. James Dobson, Rev. Billy Graham, Dr. D. James Kennedy, Beverly La Haye, Ralph Reed, Pat Robertson, Rev. James Robison, Phyllis Schlafly, George Bush Sr. and Jr., Dr. Robert Schuller I and II Jerry Falwell. Jesus said by their fruits “ye shall know them”, which is in reference to the fruit of a true Christian as opposed to a pseudo Christian tare. We will be looking at the undeniable documented financial links of the people listed above cult leader Rev. Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church of Korea. Unbelievably Rev. Moon was actually crowned Messiah and Savior of Earth on March 23, 2004 at the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington D.C, where scores of Christian leaders as well as several U.S. Senators and Representatives met for this very blasphemous occasion. Southern Baptist leaders were on hand, as were Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) President Paul Crouch, Reverend Jerry Falwell, Rev. Robert Schuller, Kenneth Copeland, Pat Boone and many others. Moon claims Jesus failed on his mission to earth but Moon has not. This is one of the largest smoking guns and flagrant moves ever made and condoned by main stream Christian figures and politicians. This information is based on highly referenced, factual evidence.

    Unification Church of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Unification_Church_of_th... Unification Church of the United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Unification Church of the United States is a new religious movement in the United States of America. It began in the 1950s and 1960s when missionaries from Japan and South Korea were sent to the United States by the international Unification Church's founder and leader Sun Myung Moon. It expanded in the 1970s and then became involved in controversy due to its theology, its political activism, and the life style of its members. Since then it has been involved in many areas of American society and has itself gone through substantial changes. Contents 1 Early history 2 Political involvement The New Yorker Hotel, 3 Criticism, opposition, and controversy purchased by the Unification 3.1 "Moonie" Church of the United States 4 Changes in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s in 1976 and now the site of 5 Church presidents national church headquarters 6 Military service offices. 7 Neologisms 8 References 9 External links Early history In the late 1950s and early 1960s Unification Church missionaries were sent from South Korea and Japan to the United States in order to establish the church there. Among them were Young Oon Kim, Sang Ik-Choi, Bo Hi Pak, David S. C. Kim, and Yun Soo Lim. Missionary work took place in Washington D.C., New York, Oregon, and California.[1] The church first came to public notice in the United States after sociology student John Lofland studied Young Oon Kim's group and published his findings as a doctoral thesis entitled: The World Savers: A Field Study of Cult Processes , which was published in 1966 in book form by Prentice-Hall as Doomsday Cult: A Study of Conversion, Proselytization, and Maintenance of Faith.

As a result, the Moons are forbidden entry into the Schengen Convention states, including all major continental western European countries. 1 The International Coalition for Religious Freedom considers this ban against the Moons to be a serious violation of their rights and the rights of thousands of European Unificationists who are deprived of the ability to meet their religious leaders in person and have their leaders conduct religious ceremonies in their nations. The purpose of this paper is to give the background and history of this issue, to demonstrate how this abuse of the Schengen Convention violates international standards of human rights, and to explore ways and means of remedying the situa tion. The Schengen Convention The Schengen Convention emerged from an agreement by several European countries in the town of Schengen, Luxembourg, on June 14, 1985 providing for the “ultimate abolition of all border controls of persons within this area.” The agreement was adopted as a formal convention in June 1990 and “fully implemented” on July 1, 1995.

    Summary Report & Reflections ‘The Life and Legacy of SMM and the Unification Movements in Scholarly Perspective’ Faculty of Comparative Study of Religion and Humanism (FVG) Antwerp, Belgium 29-30 May 2017 __________________________________________________________________ Organized by: The European Observatory of Religion and Secularism (Laïcité) in partnership with Faculty of Comparative Study of Religion and Humanism (FVG), CESNUR & CLIMAS (Bordeaux) This is a summary-report and a reflection on the recent conference in Antwerp, Belgium. The text is a compilation of impressions and reflections by Dr. Andrew Wilson, Dr. Mike Mickler, Dan Fefferman, Hugo Veracx, Peter Zoehrer and Catriona Valenta. The number of participants (including scholars & organizers) was around 40: 15 persons belonging to Sanctuary Church, 8 participants from the Preston (H1) group, 8 from FFWPU and 9 neutral (ex-members, scholars, etc.). The conference was devoted almost exclusively to examining the background and development of the schisms that have emerged in the Unification Movement since the death of the founder. DAY ONE The first day was consistent with the conference theme of the „Life and legacy of Sun Myung Moon and Unification Movements“ in a scholarly perspective. Dr. Eileen Barker led off with an excellent keynote address titled "The Unification Church: A Kaleidoscopic History." She looked at the UM as a religious movement, a spiritual movement, a charismatic movement, a messianic movement, a millenarian movement, a utopian movement, a political movement, a financial-business movement, a criminal movement, a sectarian movement, a denominationalizing movement, and a schismatic movement. It was a good introduction to the conference as a whole. Alexa Blonner followed with a very excellent presentation on the UM's antecedents in Neo-Confucian thought and also the ways in which the UM went beyond that heritage.

  • 2018-02-19 the Rod of Iron Controversy
    "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good-except God alone." Mark 10:18 To achieve this, someone on behalf of God must be victorious over Satan, both as an individual and as an adopted son. Moreover, as a child of direct lineage, he must fight with the satanic world and win over it for God. CSG 192 Greetings! In Hyung Jin Nim's sermon on Sunday, he explained that thos e using a rod of iron especially need a sound mind. You never can take back a bullet. If you make a mistake, you are responsible for the consequences. Be slow to anger. That's why it's important to drill and practice. ALWAYS check any weapon to see if it is loaded. It's an inanimate object that needs to be controlled by a responsible person. Free enterprise leads to great wealth. But with wealth comes the danger that it can lead to relativism and corruption. That is why Peace Police Peace Militia training is so important, for developing self-control, humility and learning to relate to people of different classes and backgrounds. Kingdom of the Rod of Iron 5 - February 18, 2018 - Rev. Hyung Jin Moon - Unification Sanctuary, Newfoundland PA In Matthew 19:24, Jesus warned us that " Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." Be careful not to be a moral posturer or practice self-idolatry. Jesus said no one is good except God.

  • 2017-10-23 Prize for the Only Begotten
    I will ruin her vines and her fig trees, which she said were her pay from her lovers; I will make them a thicket, and wild animals will devour them. Hosea 2:12 The pair system is derived from the concept of subject and object partners; why do we need subject and object partners? They exist for the sake of love. CSG 1646 Even though Father was looked down upon, people spat on him, cursed him and persecuted him, he always thought about God's authority, God's position and always followed God's law. Even when he was doing hard labor, Father did not allow anyone to do better than him; he was the best and that's how he fought against tens of thousands of Satans and Devils. I think that we need to be aware of this as we go down this path. Hyun Shil Kang, "Search for God with all your heart," February 3, 2017 Greetings! Watching Mother Han's speech on October 15 in Kanagawa led me to consider giving her a prize for how many speeches she can give where she does not mention True Father even once. As in previous speeches given this year, she describes how Heaven sent the UN forces to Korea so that the Only Begotten Daughter, 7 years old at the time, could escape to the south. I guess Heaven was too busy to be concerned about Sun Myung Moon who was in the Hungnam Death Camp at the time? Hak Ja Han- The Forgotten True Father She mentions Jesus as the "Only Begotten Son" and the need for the Only Begotten Son to have a partner, and we are told that the Only Begotten Daughter appeared in Korea in 1943, but Sun Myung Moon is nowhere to be found.
