Article 2: Solicitous acts related
to the 30,000,000 yen donation. (a) PA frequently went to the Oasis Society upon invitation from UCX et al. Before long, PA enrolled in a 10 day intensive course offered at the Oasis Society. This course was being taught by a certain person by the name of Doseki, a UC member enlisted at the Society. The main study material of the above course concentrated on the "Unification Principles" which base the teachings of the UC (hereafter simply "unification principles"). While PA was attending this course, around the end of June 1988, PA was summoned by UCY to go to the Oasis Society. PA accordingly did so. Waiting for PA at the Society, were UCY and another person by the name of Tokunaga who was both a UC member and a UC devotee. (A UC Devotee is a UC member who adopts the principles of the UC, offers up both his or her body and mind to the UC, resigns from his or her normal place of employment, and leaves his or her home to live a communal type lifestyle with other UC members in a certain place which is called "Home10"). After PA had arrived at the Society, around 10 am. on the same day, UCY and Tokunaga took PA to an apartment on the top floor of the "Mansion Espowal Ohashi" located in Minami Ward, Fukuoka City. The floor plan of this apartment consisted of three living & sleeping rooms, a dining room and a kitchen i.e. 3DK. Here PA , UCY and Tokunaga entered a Japanese style four and a half tatami mat (roughly 2.7m by 2.7m) room in which no Buddhist statues nor like objects were placed. In this room waiting for PA was a person by the name of Endo, a UC member and UC devotee. When PA entered the room, Endo was sitting with her eyes closed. For a couple minutes, Endo prayed, emitting in a soft voice such words as " Father....Fill today with goodness (and expectation)." Then Endo turned to PA and demanded PA make a donation by saying (among other things), " Your husband is suffering in Hell. Your husband desires 50,000,000 yen. But your husband says that at the least he wants you to donate 30,000,000 yen. " PA was taken by surprise at Endo's demand as she thoroughly had not expected to be requested to make an additional donation. PA refused the demand by saying, "My daughter is currently studying for university examinations and she will need money to pay her school tuition so I cannot make such a donation." At this, PA considered getting up and quickly leaving the room. However, with Tokunaga sitting on her one side and UCY on her other side, PA was not in a situation where she could easily exit the room. Then Tokunaga, without acknowledging PA's entreaty, further sought PA's donation by saying (among other things), "I will take the responsibility. There is protection for your livelihood. Your daughter can get a scholarship." However, despite Tokunaga's supplications , PA continued to refuse the demands for another donation. At this point, Endo got up from her seat saying, "I am going to go pray and then come back," and left the room. After some time, Endo returned to the room, and again urged PA's donation by repeatedly saying (among other things), "Your husband wishes for 30,000,000 yen. Your husband is suffering in Hell and if you don't donate 30,000,000 yen another misfortune will occur. The House of PA will fall." Notwithstanding, PA continued to counter the demand, saying "If I donate 30,000,000 yen all of my husbands remaining life insurance money will be gone." In this manner, both sides continued arguing back and forth. Then, PA ate the lunch prepared at the same apartment room. After lunch, the back and forth arguing continued. The tone of Endo's voice began getting increasingly sharper and stronger. In showing PA her (PA's) family lineage chart which had been previously drawn up at the Oasis Society, Endo said ) in an emphatic voice, "The karma of sexual lust is very strong in your ancestral roots. Your husband's life was deprived because his father's life was short. Your husband was taken by a karma of wealth and money. If you continue on this way, your daughter's life too will be taken." Thus, Endo again urged PA to make the donation. UCY and Tokunaga who were still sitting on both sides of PA, now were holding PA's hands tightly and saying repetitively, "Don't give up. Hang in there. Believe," so as to persuade PA to donate the money as Endo had said. At this point, PA was falling into emotional despair as she sincerely began to believe that her daughter would die prematurely due to her ancestral karma. PA thought that if this situation were to continue, she would not be able to go home. PA also considered that as long as she continued to decline the donation in that room, she would be bombarded relentlessly with pleas for her to give the money. Feeling herself in a state of mental confusion, PA finally said, "I will do it" - thus consenting to make the 30,000,000 yen donation. In return, UCY and Tokunaga began crying and rejoicing, saying "Thank you. Thank you," and other words of gratitude repeatedly to PA. Then UCY et al. proceeded to tell PA that if she told anyone else about her donation that "Satan would close in," and strictly forbade PA to keep her mouth shut. On that same day between 4:30pm and 5:00pm, PA left the above room. Subsequent to this chain of events, the following has been revealed. In the beginning of the same month (in which PA conceded to the above said donation), Endo, Doseki and another UC member by the name of Okinaga had planned from the outset to demand the above donation amount which had been determined by Endo - based on a church list recording PA's donation sum to be 60,000,000 yen. Accordingly, the above said UC members orchestrated a schedule to teach the "unification principles" to PA vis-a-vis the aforesaid ten day intensive training course. (b) Upon returning home, PA regretted that she had consented to make the donation. She felt that she had been threatened and forced to donate 30,000,000 yen. At this time, PA considered reporting the incident to the police, but due to deep inner fears that something tragic or misfortunate might happen, PA could not file such a report. On the day after PA had consented to the said donation , PA received a phone call from UCY encouraging PA to go through with the donation. During this phone conversation, PA requested that the 30,000,000 yen payment be postponed. However, UCY ignored PA's en-treaty, saying (among other things), "Hang in there. Don't give up." Such circumstances were urging PA to make the above donation. As a result, on 26 June 1988, PA went alone to the Ijiri Branch of the Kyushyu Sogo Bank, withdrew 30,000,000 yen, (as UCY instructed) went to the parking lot of a variety merchandise shp called "Goody" located near PA's home, and physically handed over the 30,000,000 yen to UCY was waiting there in a parked car . (c) Several days later, PA received a message from UCY that a ceremony to celebrate PA's 30,000,000 yen donation was to be held at the UC Fukuoka Church in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City. Accordingly, PA proceeded to this location. Here, the church director verbally expressed gratitude for PA's above donation. The director then explained to PA that her donation would serve as capital for excavation operations to construct a tunnel extending from Japan to Korea, a plan which had been initiated by the UC. At this point, PA first realized that her donations were being appropriated by the UC. Consecutively, a person in attendance played a piano which was sitting in front of a picture of the UC founding father Sun Myung Moon and his wife. A celebration ceremony was performed with UCX, UCY and UC members gathered at the church. At this time, PA was given a picture of the UC founding father Sun Myung Moon and his wife. |
