He would be of no use then. Try researching the divorce rate of Unificationists...you'll find out what a foolish a statement you have said. 😉I dare you to research about our marriages and our lifestyle.

Don't worry, lots of people have trouble accepting this. All you have to know if that we're normal people, and this makes sense to us, that we do it for a reason. :)
patrick its hard to understand when you don't know the Theology behind it and just because some people call it a cult with their prejudiced mind you do not need to do the same. another thing is do you know that 2000 years ago Jesus and his disciples were called the cult of the Nazarene and Jesus was very sad with the doctors of the law? A bit respect won't kills no one.
Actually, what makes this a cult is that it's a religion. All religions are cults, if you think about it. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean that the thing is bad.
April Israelson : U don't know each other's language, don't know the names and don't know where you are going to live after marriage. Yep, I would shit my pants too.
Damnnn I feel bad for the french girl and the Japanese man they don’t even know how to communicate with each other. The girl doesn’t even know his name.
Friendly Kiwi Except she is from Africa. She said she's from the Ivory Coast (Cote D'Ivoire), which is a West African country where the inhabitants (sadly due to colonialism) speak a francophone language.
The black girl was very pretty but she doesn't look too happy to be marrying the Asian guy. The Asian guy looks scared...i hope all thier marriages work out
Today days most actually choose their partner and suggest it to their parents. Others ask their parents or church leader to suggest someone, and then they accept or reject. It is not so common to just accept a partner unconditionally without knowing him/her previously. It still happens, and usually those matches have a high divorce rate. I actually think its nice to involve your parents in choosing the right person for you. It is more traditional, but also lasting and meaningful, than what most people do these days, have sex with a stranger, get pregnant and marry.

They did a study in 2003 and found the original and the following mass weddings couples are still together and happy. Only 10% of them divorced. The US avg is 60%. No one forced them to marry. They all agreed to it out of faith.
Am I the only one blown away at how similar the couples look to each other? Even the Japanese and Black couple have the same bone structure and eyebrows, lol. Those would be supermodel kids.
@@kristaj428 Actually, no. Not at all. But, especially East Asians and West Africans, have facial features that complement really well when they have children.

That doesn't mean that these are happy relationships, there is a history in every country of miserable people staying married. Granted, expectations are greatly different in cultures with arranged marriages.
Gorecki ♥Marriage of the Lamb ♥ Rev. 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
but is it really any better when you choose who you marry, looking at the divorce rate? Infact, I think statistics show arranged marriage has less divorce.

They are strict christians who follow literal words of the bible. You are projecting your own BS onto them. I am not christian but these people are giving a lot of people a chance in life otherwise they wouldn't get at all from their families or their governments. Marriage is very hard and expensive and this church takes care of them.
Apollo's Vlog Channel Rowe the religion is Christianity we believe that Jesus has come that is our only difference to other Christians we’re not still waiting and looking for Jesus to come down from some clouds call us a cult or whatever name you want but the whole reason Jesus had to come again to save us was because of the disbelief/Rejection of the Jews.
I oppose this idea because you can't just marry someone without getting to know them, first. In fact, my parents had an arranged marriage in Iraq, they were never allowed to get to know each other before their wedding. My father was abusive and as a result, my mom divorced him. You will never if this stranger is really kind or cruel to you so you have to get to know them first before you decide to marry them. You can't love someone until you learn to love yourself. It is very scary to marry a stranger at first sight.

nealart It could be a good option if you are like a 30-40 year old virgin unable to find a partner in real life.... 😂 say you are virgin because of choice and meet your partner just a few days before the wedding...boom goal achieved...they won't divorce you anyways ;D
My parents joined this cult and got married this way. The couples I saw growing up literally terrified me. They could talk about love all they liked, as a child, you just know when people aren't happy and most of these couples were miserable. As an adult, I look back at the men of this cult and wonder how many of them joined because there was the promise of getting a wife. A lot of them would qualify today as "incels" and would have had a very hard time finding a partner in the "fallen" world, as they call it.
Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything, they join this life out of their free will. These are not children. Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean it is a bad experience, you could make any counter-arguments to this with equivalencies. You are just tainted by your own perception and that leads you to lob that label at them to hate them easier. Too bad for you I guess.
As someone who survived being born and raised most of my life in a cult, who also sometimes paired couples together, I say this, in the Bible itself it says that a man will leave his parents and find himself a wife. It doesn’t say his parents or religious leaders will find him a wife. When you search scriptures yourself you will start finding things that don’t line up with the things you were taught by your religious leaders and eventually you will be able to see pretty clearly what your church leaders are goals and motives are. It took me years to leave bc I didn’t want to loose my family or have my child hurt in any way for my decision, to my surprise the leadership crumbled and most of the church freely walked away, most keeping family and friends. I lost some of my closest friends but kept all family. I hope one day my friends will come around, I miss them dearly.

I tell you, not at all, but rather division. ⁵² For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. ⁵³ Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. ” Luke 12:49-53 NKJV “ ²⁵ Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, ²⁶ “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. ²⁷ And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. ²⁸ For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it- ²⁹ lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, ³⁰ saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish’? ³¹ Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? ³² Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. ³³ So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple. ” Luke 14:25-33 NKJV “ ³⁴ Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth.

The Bible contradicts itself, and is a combination of old, translated texts. Arguing about what the scripture says is meaningless because not everyone follows the same version.
I'm sorry to hear that. I made lots of friends in that cult, but I have to cut ties with them. I'm now back to a Bibical church that is Christ-centered, come as you are, and no secrecy. I still pray for them. God bless you my friend!
@@leeham6230 however, the original text does exisit (Hebrew, Armanian, and Greek for certain book). The authors do have their original intent and they are not contradictory in core principles. This is suggesting Chinese people shouldn't read the Analects (by Confucious) since there're many historical copies. Authors in the Bible does have their original intent, just like all the philiosphers' books have their original intent and variable for discussion and reflection. Sadly young people don't like philosophy, pursuing truth and wisdom. They watch some YT videos and they think they know it all, because it "feels" right.

Abigail Britian Don't you dare I already have a koolaid cult. It operates under koolaid kult and we worship koolaid man and "oh yeah" as comparison to "amen"
I am reading "Combating mind control" by Steven Hassan, great book highly recommend it. He was a former moonie, got out and then dedicated his life to helping people leave cults.
I'm sorry, but this is not the way to start "the rest of your life" Two people who can't even speak the same language - and that's supposed to be the basis of a long and happy marriage? Well you talk to some of those who were married this way back in the sixties and take my word for it, they did NOT live happily ever after! Marriage is a committment and I thoroughly disapprove of arranged marriages - whatever religion you happen to subscribe to. I've been married for almost 50 years and have grown up children and growing up grandchildren, but we knew each other well before we were married, knew each other's families and also knew each other's foibles! And take my word for it, it hasn't been laughter all the way, but at least both of us knew where the other was coming from!
I know the story of a couple, they didn't speak the same language and when they argued they didn't hurt each other. The wife learned the husband's language eventually. It worked out for them, but they are an exception. I support arranged marriages but not like the moonies do (meeting the spouse less than a week before the wedding). People can agree to marry each other after about 6 months if the families are compatible, even if they are not in love. Compatibility is more important than our idea of love, in a relationship. That's the oldest form of marriage. I'm against forced marriages though.
AM Hunter ♥Marriage of the Lamb ♥ Rev. 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
Well, my uncle and aunt did not know the same language when they got married to each other. They got married within a month of meeting each other, and they are still married to each other
@JHyun - Heaven's above, what was childish about THAT? It was the unvarnished truth. I have seen documentaries about people who were married in one of these absurd ceremonies and never actually saw each other again! Well I'm sorry, but I'm delighted Moon is dead - he was corrupt in the extreme and hopefully his ridiculous so called religion will eventually die with him. It caused a great deal of pain and heartbreak to a great many people!

2020-- Glenn and Judilee seem to be happy and still married. Can't find the others though. 🫤 My guess is the japanese guy and his wife didn't last long or if they did they might be resentful to one another as communication is a big part of any relationship. This thing is bizarre, definitely a cult. The reason for why some of the relationships worked, i think, is that they were really committed in becoming a partner to their other half and eventually fell in love.

I want to see a follow up on the different couples that were shown. Like how are they doing, I’m particularly interested in the black girl and japanese guy
amiesparkle00 yeah that’s kinda what they did, they usually matched people of different race/ethnicities to “break barriers and prejudices of society”. So their thought process is like if two people from countries that are known as enemies get married then their kids will love and grow with both cultures & that if you are married to someone who is completely different from you then they will help you grow as a person? Idk, it’s weird and confusing. Also they don’t believe in divorce, so if they were to stay in that cult they’re stuck basically.
@@Jocelynex .....well that actually doesn't sound tø far from the truth and it doesn't sound so bad at all... it sounds like a beautiful solution tø an awful global problem however it would be better if these people got tø know each other before getting married though cause this feels to forced
i feel sorry for those persons who unknowingly married a person who has a bad temper or could be a psycho. damnnn. i could say maybe there are lucky ones here but majority are unlucky.

greatcurious cat Untrue, you are allowed to divorce and you are allowed to reject who you got matched with if you don’t like them, remember that these people aren’t forced to do this, they are willingly choosing to be matched, Sun Myung Moon doesn’t say you have to marry this way and he doesn’t force anyone to do this, there is a difference between a forced and arranged marriage.

I don't judge the followers , they want love and peace in their lifes but it's disgusting how moon used them he is an example of great con man. He had suffered at young age but used that hunger to gain power and control for wealth and used innocent ppl . this is one family's business and that's it. To the followers you can marry and create happy healthy family without a con man. I understand it might didnt brought any harm to you now but think about how this family works behind you, with your support, doing what kind of stuffs. hiding under name of so called church , peace, non profit organization. THIS IS 100% PROFIT POWER SEEKING CON ARTIST. And I know some people can't just leave because they been there too long , everything they know was around the church that fearing of new start. Some are too old to chance their mind and start looking for new job. once you given your life and precious time it becomes more hard to quit. Do you know the person that your marrying, if he she is disabled or mentally ill because that happened before. Remember con man are really smart of course they will sound soo promising. what century we are living in?

As a member of this church I agree with you. Many have left the church and rightfully so. This church is a globalist organisation that thinks everyone will speak Korean one day and worship God under Christianity. Sun Moon Also hates homosexuality and claimed that God had said "Sun Myung moon is the greatest Victor of all time" in Heaven. Quite the narcissist I say

I was married in one of these mass weddings nine years ago. I am an American. My wife is from Moldova. We are an example of an international couple that Rev. Moon talks about. We are still married after nine years and very happy to be together. We only knew each other for eight months before we were married. This marriage method can work if people share a common religious faith.
I had a friend who was part of that church. She was half Japanese half American. After her mother passed away, after a few years her father wanted to remarry and they wouldnt let him so they quit the church. She still misses it sometimes and her father ended up admitting that the only woman for him was his first wife...
1. Glenn and Judilee are still married. I didn't see any children on their socials. 2. Romina and Sean are still married and have a baby girl. 3. Sadly, I couldn't find anything on Sandrine and Yasuhiro.

Please take up the issue of the Unification Church in Japan. It was Japan that suffered the most, and it was also Japan that made the most contact with the political world. The Unification Church is conducting political maneuvers in various parts of the world, using human rights violations of Japanese believers as a source of funding. 
Every cult wants to remove people from the people who love them. The first indication you are in a relationship with someone who does NOT love you, is that they don't care about those who have cared about you. If you really love a person, you don't want to deprive them of the people who love them, whether just a mother or father in-law or a group.
Noble King These people are not being forced to leave their families you realize that? If you leave your family in order to follow who you believe is the messiah that is on you, Jesus’ followers did the same thing.

@@thetiredworm2100 If people go with free-will, they have that right. Jesus is clear we are to look after our family responsibilities (provide for them, for to not do is is worse than being an unbeliever 1 Timothy 5:8 ). One of the last things He did was tell his mother her son was now a disciple, so she would be looked after, but yes, He said He didn't come to unite people, but to divide them. For me, the difference is, He doesn't want our money, or sexual access to our children and spouses, He doesn't want to control us. He wants to share the gift of life with us, he doesn't NEED us, but mortal cult leaders need people to get their desires, usually sex and cash - probably ALWAYS sex and cash.
Looool. So “True mother” sits on a THRONE all blinged out like a celebrity. This is just an example of one of the many people who hide under the veil of Christianity and mislead people. This is not Christianity, sorry guys. It’s another religion all on its own. Even if your aim (to unite different cultures) isn’t exactly bad, this is wrong. Please read your Bible and truly understand what God says. You need to educate yourselves on a religion if you’re going to follow it. do things right!
Efe Aghahowa Please study Sun Myung Moon’s teachings, if you are going to judge it and say it’s wrong please inform your self on our church first. Also “True Mother” is not true mother anymore, she fell away from Christianity and God and she has been teaching things against Sun Myung Moon and saying she is the messiah, Sun Myung Moon’s heir has separated from this church run by “true mother” and restarted the church in Pennsylvania (his church is called sanctuary church), teaching Sun Myung Moon’s teachings, not “true mother’s”.
I have a friend in the church. He’s 13 years old, and has to spend nearly 5 hours every Saturday at a unification church. He really can’t have a normal childhood because of that.

Gross. Im in an interracial relationship to be married in December and these kind of statements are disgusting. We aren't breeding stock for you to use
I am routing for the black and asian couple who dont even speak the same language . I think that if they make it they will be the envy of the town. Think what kind of bond they would have after having to learn each others languages and cultures. I dont like their religion but I think this type of attitude is refreshing as a westerner sick of the westerners soulmate chase and getting with people based on what "feels" right. Its not about finding the perfect match its about being the perfect match. I learned that from my family.

THIS. I’ve always believed that love is an action and a choice. I also believe it grows with time if two people share their ideals and values. That’s what it should be based on. Western divorce rates have shown us that love based on infatuation and instant gratification doesn’t work.
Laura Hamilton ♥Marriage of the Lamb ♥ Rev. 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
Love is overrated. Refer to divorce rate. Most marriage that started with love did not endure. Faith and commitment (religion) is a binding force to be reckoned.
What else do they do besides the mass weddings? What's day to day life like for the average member? Do they work regular jobs and just do what everyone else does in normal society? How often do they go to services? Do they have any other unusual practices that they do?
I am a part of the church and from what I know members do have jobs outside of the church but theres also some that devote their whole life and work for the church and live there. But yes every Sunday there is service, in some regions(in the U.S) there is a program called up and coming that high schoolers and middle schoolers go to, its basically a place for kids to play games and get lectures. In the church their is a HUGE purity culture and they basically teach you about the blessing(the event thats in this video) since you’re like a baby. my parents have been talking to me about this as far as i remember. There is also this program that promotes purity culture to kids in 9th/10th grade where they pledge to save themselves and get purity rings.
A true Messiah wouldn't need a rolls Royce, he wouldn't want anything extravagant. Look at her, how she's dressed and the sun glasses, she loves the money and power.

I don’t approve of this but at the very least I hope the couples learn to love each other and have a good relationship, that’s all you can hope for with things like this
I’m a unification church member and I’ll be attending this ceremony next February. It’s still crazy to see there’s a couple that was “matched” just a few days ago. I just don’t understand how she can merry a guy she can’t even remember his name. The Japanese husband of her just does not speak even a little bit of French nor English. How will they communicate and be committed to their marriage. Trust me, even my Japanese mom whose English was way better than his before she met her Australian husband, has had struggled with cultural differences and all of that, it will be a lot harder for them. At least every couple should share a language to speak to each other for themselves and their future kids. I wish best luck for that couple.

I think it can work in some cases, with shared values and some honest effort put in. Give it enough time though and any marriage will have its challenges.
