Looking for ex Jung SuWon / Tae Yun Kim students (Part 3)

[bemused]

We even wore the cult t-shirts in the form of T-shirts with Tae Yun Kim's face on it.

For a while we all wore T-shirts that said, "Be an original, not a copy." TYK got irritated when outsiders pointed out the irony of all of us "originals" wearing copies of the same shirt. Looking back, I think that T-shirt symbolized especially well the difference between what TYK promised and what she delivered.

When I left, ... it was also predicted that I would soon get into a life threatening car accident. I was also told that God wasn't happy with me and that God would punish me. Most people that try to leave COL are told similar things and that they won't amount to anything if they leave.

When I left, TYK said she was worried about me because I had such a messed up love life before I joined and that without her "energy" I would have a messed up love life again. Now I'm happily married and she is being sued for palimony.

Living well really is the best revenge.

Soooo.. did SHS read a book on making a cult?

[HerLesson]

I believe since shs didn't have the charm to become a cult leader, he read a book on how to take a stupid ugly woman and make her into a cult leader! Guess he didn't realize he would make a uncontrollable Frankenstein and turn on everyone including him.

That's an excellent analogy HerLesson. The Frankenstein/golem monster has neither soul nor compassion.

However there are some serious ramifications to creating such a being, not only of the thing turning on it's creator, but of it also destroying those it was meant to protect.

Wow, what a fantastic read. Thank you all for your contributions, especially Chicabonita. I remember you and your brother well. I joined in late '85 and lasted almost 3 years. Like most of you, when I left I was told I would amount to nothing without "Grandmaster". Well, I have gone on to enjoy a really full life.

I periodically look for new information (really hoping for news of her exposure), and was quite happy to read the latest events. I remember when I left, I felt a certain responsibility to inform/rescue my fellow followers. I soon realized that we all come to our own truths in our own time, and that my attempts to convince others would be futile. I went on to study cults and quickly recognized that Kyong-Ae/Tea Yun Kim followed the cult template to a tee.

I remember in one Energy Class we were talking about being brain washed, and we all said "Yes, 'Mam, if this is brain washed, then I want to be brain washed". Just as Chicabonita wrote, the brainwahing happens slowly, over time. And when you are in the midst of the cult, you really don't see it clearly.

Anyways, thanks to all of your contributions. I am so happy to read that someone as indoctrinated as Chicabonita was, can transition into a independent life with such flair.

I'm looking forward to October, and I just might show up to watch the show. Can someone please post the address to the courthouse? Thanks.

If you notice in this article.......the leader does not do what the followers have to do..........

Welcome Carol56, If you were there in 88 we must know each other. Were you there when Ken Kochan left?

[carol56]

Thanks, Kathy, for the welcome. I may be off a little on my dates, but I think I left around the same time as Ken Kochan.
