What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

And so I still, in my mind, I wasn't joining for my life, but I had this quandary.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

the Messiah may be coming or isn't it?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

So I wanted to know more.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

And that's part of the appeal at the beginning isn't to recommit your life, but it's to learn more.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

Open your mind.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

Don't be closed minded.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

Consider that there's a bigger path for you.

And where I got hooked was I was selected by a top Japanese leader that Moon had brought over to the United States.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

Moon was very unhappy with the American movement.

because they weren't militant enough.

Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

So they brought this top Japanese guy over, and the Japanese guy checked me out, and he made me one of his disciples.

So through this guy, I got to be in the room with Moon as we had discussions about infiltrating the U.S.

government and how God wants a theocracy and thinks democracy is satanic.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

I got to hear all of these things in 1974.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

But I was a true believer because I learned to shut down any doubts.

Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

And I believed that if I just followed what Moon was saying, because he was plugged into God, then the world would be saved.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

Ten generations of my ancestors on my mother's and father's side would get out of a terrible situation in the spirit world, which I didn't believe in before.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

It's a great question.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

Yeah, they have to.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

But do they, though?
