A pro-Trump religious group, led by Pastor Hyung-jin “Sean” Moon, who uses AR-15 rifles in ceremonies, purchased a 130-acre holy retreat in Tennessee.
“Spiritual download”: Moon heads services at Rod of Iron Ministries, also known as the Sanctuary of World Peace and Unification, while wearing a crown of metal bullets and a gold rifle.
-
In a recent broadcast of Moon’s “King’s Report”, he said the nearly half a million dollar property in Tennessee is similar to a spiritual retreat in Cheongpyeong, a city in South Korea, and made him feel a “spiritual download.”
-
“Many, many, many buses full of people will come and pray there and liberate the ancestors,” he said.
-
Moon went on to say that he plans to build a theological school, an elementary school and an incubator for future “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) politicians on the property.
-
In addition to attracting ordinary MAGA supporters, Movement architect and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and ex-NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch took to the stage at the group’s Freedom Festival last weekend, according to the Independent.
“Ansu”: Moon’s religious organization is a spinoff of the Unification Church, which was founded by his late father, Reverend Sun-myung Moon, a self-proclaimed messiah whose followers were known as “Moonies.”
-
Elder Moon has held ansu liberation workshops in Cheongpyeong, South Korea, where former church members claim to have endured physical and spiritual abuse for weeks.
-
“There will be no ‘ansu’ activity,” said Timothy Elder, director of global missions. VICE News. “We have no intention of repeating these excesses on Tennessee property.”
-
The Tennessee property acquired by Rod of Iron Ministries sold for $ 460,000 on Zillow.
