About Mannam Volunteer Association with Shinchonji

About "Mannam" as a front for the Shinchonji cult

Mannam is not a pure volunteer organization but a facade. Mannam's event are used to draw more Shinchonji (SCJ) members into recruitment.  

Matthew 24:4 Watch out that no one deceives you!


Mannam Volunteer Association was established in 2003. As of 2013, Mannam’s has reached about 80,000 members worldwide and are growing. Its headquarter is located in Seoul, with about 100 other branches in Korea. Other global branches are located in: Boston, Los Angeles, London, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, India, and Cape Town South Africa. However, Mannam and its branches are approaching people in disguise of a pure volunteer organization in order to recruit new Shinchoji members. Kim, Nam-Hee, the second reader of Shinchonji, is the chairwoman of Mannam. Also the cult Shinchonji and Mannam co-host World Peace Festival every four years and organize other events together as well. 

Main activities performed by Mannam. 
1) SCJ members, even members who ran away from home and divorced their spouses, participate in all Mannam’s events. 
2) Mannam branches seize power of a public institutions and trick people into becoming involved in their bible study in order to brainwash people during various events in public
3) Mannam leads people who come to its events to the Shinchonji cult's bible studies. 
4) Mannam often misrepresents names of mainstream churches, usually Presbyterian, to recruit foreigners. 

Choi Ok-Sub, the second from left, chairman of Baekto Culture Association in Kunsan city, who allegedly appointed Shinchonji members in main positions of the association, with the members holds the placard, saying "Shinchonji Peace Independence Day 144,000 Complete Year", "Unity Meeting for Baekto Culture Art Institute", " Date: January, 11 - 12, SCJ year 30 [**]".


Websites/Blogs to Lure Potential Victims
1) Waygook is a community forum for teaching, traveling, and learning to mainly South Korea, and EFL/ESL teachers and Mannam blog are most used.
2) AsiaPundit is a mate website, as it says “Find a Wife From Asia” in the home page. 
3) Mannam Korean Class is a blog in the Wordpress.com.
4) Students Gone Global is a social community for student travelers all over world.
5) There are some cotroversial websites: for Shinchonji and Mannam.

* The name “Mannam” is combined by one from the middle letter (“Man”) of Lee Man Hee, who is Sheikh of the cult Shinchonji, and the other from the middle letter (“Nam”) of Kim Nam Hee, who was a female member of Shinchonji. Mannam's slogan, "When light meets light, there is victory!", also is made from three meanings: one is “Meet” from “Mannam” in Korean, another is “Light” from “Hee”. in Chinese, and the other is "Victory" from "Lee-Kim" in Korean.

**   Shinchonji has its own calendar year, not use B.C. and A.D. The start year is the established year of Shinchonji, 1984,  for example, 2013 is Shinchonji 30 year.
