Yeah, they're still doing some of the old scams, like getting their members to pay thousands of dollars to "clean up their lineage" meaning having someone pray to get your dead relations out of purgatory and into heaven with Rev. Moon. That's on top of the expected offerings (tithes, I assume) and regular participation in conferences (for fees). They're not too forthcoming about their beliefs, but they think Sun Myung Moon is the new Messiah, and in their Bible Jesus marries Mary Magdalene. And last I heard, they were still predicting Trump would be reinstated.

Glad you liked the article. Hope to do a follow-up after I finish my MFA next week.
