. What is truth to you? Instead of briefly answering what truth is, I will share the story of what I have experienced and realized from the past up to now. During my school days, I thought that if I just went to school without much worry or deep thought, lived with the people around […]
What Is Truth to Me? — Why My Conscience Led Me Back to God
. What is truth to me? I want to express, even just a little, in words all that I have seen, heard, learned, and experienced so far. Since childhood, I vaguely attended church and believed in God, but there was always a lingering doubt in one corner of my heart: Does God really exist? Even […]
7. I sincerely ask for your support.
The words of this place are not such as teach the knowledge of man’s intellect and mind, like the learning of worldly scholarship, wherein one may comfortably see, hear, understand, study, and acquire through education and instruction as men do. If I were to speak of the things I have seen and heard, they are indeed found within the words of the Scriptures, yet they are testimonies and experiences so difficult to comprehend that no one hath ever truly experienced them.

Not a Sermon, But a Life: Where I Found Living Scripture
. My family and I spent four years with a woman who claimed to be one of the two witnesses in the Bible. Through her, I came to believe in God.

Some stories are so complex, tangled, and burdened with pain that no clear answer seems possible.
Part 1. Escaping the Shadow of a False Shepherd, Finding the True Truth that Grows Me
Before encountering this truth through the author(From here on, I will refer to him as ‘teacher.’), my mother, younger sister, and I lived under the oppression of a church and pastor for ten years. They ruled over the congregation with fear through “Physical touch as part of a healing prayer(ㅡBut it was like abuse more than healing for prayer)” (physical discipline), wielding “spiritual” authority as a weapon to silence dissent and abuse believers according to their tastes.
6. Important – Please be sure to read.
Since many of the writings here are not the sweet words that mostly stir up people’s greed and hope and provide comfort, but rather words like a mirror that cause one to reflect on their misguided beliefs and reveal the greed-driven errors, there are, of course, many who say these are truly the Word and the gospel of Christ. However, hasty people, finding them unpalatable and bitter, do not even properly read the writings and quickly label them as being from Jehovah’s Witnesses or the Shincheonji sect, accusing us of heresy and attacking us. There are far too many such people.
