As the decrepit images of the leader of Sincheonji Lee Man-hee, who had insisted on eternal life, were revealed one after another, Sincheonji is reportedly preparing for the death of the leader while cracking down internally.
Shincheonji Internal Control...Pre-announcement of all prison exams
The aging of Sinchonji Lee Man-hee, who recently left the Suwon Detention Center with permission to apply for bail, was aired, revealing the fictional nature of the claim that LMH was "forever." Sinchonji also said, "His health has deteriorated due to the detention," adding that his daily life is also in a difficult state.
The Shincheonji leadership is known to have launched an internal crackdown to prevent the departure of some believers after they were shaken. According to the Eschatological Bureau, an organization that helps people understand apocalypse in a healthy way, the Sinchonji General Assembly issued an official letter to conduct a doctrine test on July 22 on all members. The plan is aimed at correcting the faith of the members, who have become difficult to manage due to the new coronavirus infection (Covid 19).
According to the official document, all the believers except students and children are subject to the test, and the scope is the latest statement from the "Knowing Bible and Sincheonji" (Jin Sung Shin). The test will be conducted twice a month with cooperation from the Information and Communication Ministry of the General Assembly.
An attempt to revamp the image of 'the new world being a model'
In addition, Shincheonji is known to be eager to contact and conciliate the believers who have weakened their faith, and to recruit their families and acquaintances through the reform of its image as a "good model of Shincheonji." In fact, Shincheonji is publicly promoting the news that Shincheonji donated plasma through YouTube and SNS.
In an online rally sermon, a senior official of Sincheonji also told the members, "I hope you will keep your faith so that you will never be seduced, and if you have conflicts, visit Sincheonji instructors, homeroom teachers, or tribe leaders to ask."
However, such efforts by Shincheonji will not be able to completely stop the internal agitation that has just begun. This is because LMH's health is getting worse, the outcome of the trial is unfavorable, and the inflow of new members continues to decrease.
Before Corona, 40,000 people visited Shincheonji study rooms every year, and 20,000 of them flowed into Shincheonji, but the situation changed. It was common for more than 10,000 people to leave Shincheonji on their own every year, with restrictions placed on Coronaro activities, more and more people giving up their faith in Shincheonji, and awareness of Shincheonji has risen across society.
"Changed the doctrine of immortality to prepare for after death."
It is also known that Sincheonji is trying to change the doctrine of immortality to prepare for the death of the leader. The expression "I may die if God wants" mentioned by the leader is not irrelevant. Heresy experts say that Shincheonji has been making excuses for the doctrine since before, putting a frame on the arrest trial of the leader Lee Man-hee and secretly revising the doctrines that justify the leader's death.
Yoo Won-sun, director of the Institute for Religious Affairs, speculated, "Maybe Lee Man-hee is being replaced by a doctrine that justifies his death. He speculated that this is because in Shincheonji, there is a doctrine of "the food at the proper time" in which Chairman Lee Man-hee dressed in the spirit of Jesus, gives them timely food.
Just as domestic heresy and pseudo have been, some predict that some members of the Shincheonji leadership could unite or split to form a new organization.
"Although it is difficult to predict due to various variables, I believe that Lee Man-hee's family, relatives, or those who are likely to form a few factions, or that the leaders of the branches of the Sinchonji organization may form a coalition and have a ruling system," said Cho Min-eum, CEO of Barun Media.
Some argue that Shincheonji will not be able to overcome the leader's death and that its power will weaken rapidly, eventually collapsing.
Yoon Jae-deok, director of the Eschatological Bureau, said, "It is almost impossible to rebuild the Sincheonji organization through post-mortem preparations," adding, "The leadership's trial and ruling are imminent, and Lee Man-hee is very old. So like other heretics of the Republic of Korea, Sincheonji faces a future where its power will be drastically reduced."
Opinions are divided over the future of Shincheonji, which has been seduced by numerous believers, but it is unlikely that the organization will remain intact as long as the words of the leader, who was immortal, have been proven false.
