- Cha Gyung-suk’s Greed and Hidden Intentions
- 1 By 1916 and 1917, when the organization was thriving,
- 2 Cha Gyung-suk had become greedy for control over it.
- 3 When Tae-mo-nim instructed Gyung-suk and other senior followers on what they should teach and how they should manage the organization,
- 4 and when She gave instruction on morality, conduct, and meditation,
- 5 Gyung-suk feigned compliance, always hiding his true intentions.
- 6 First, he alienated Sahng-jeh-nim’s disciples from the other followers;
- 7 then, pretending to be a devout disciple of Tae-mo-nim, he hung a blind made of beads in Her doorway as a sign of honor, when, in fact, he was trying to estrange Her from the followers.
- 8 Some disciples, who saw through Gyung-suk’s intentions, left the center in outrage, met with followers in other areas, and founded separate organizations.
- 9 Others campaigned to move Tae-mo-nim’s center to a different location to get Her away from Gyung-suk.
