If you thought religious figures in the U. S. were the absolute worst, just wait.
A megachurch pastor in South Korea was just sentenced to 15 years in prison for raping eight of his female followers and claiming the assaults were part of “an order from God.”
Jaerock Lee, the leader of the Manmin Central Church (with over 10,000 branches), appears to be a textbook narcissist who was booted from conventional Christian groups and deemed a cult leader. It’s not surprising that he took advantage of his position and abused several women. His church claims to have 133,000 followers worldwide.
He was ejected from the Christian Council of Korea in 1999 for his “heretical” beliefs and branded a “cult leader” by the Korean Ministry Association after claiming he was without sin and exempt from dying .
“The victims, who attended the church since childhood, believed that obeying Lee as a godlike figure is the path to heaven,” the court said in its verdict.
