Woman sounds warning about religious sect operating in Auckland

A woman who spent years in a South Korean religious sect operating in Auckland is warning others of its fraudulent recruitment techniques, RNZ reports. Shincheonji Church of Jesus has been described as a doomsday cult and is led by a man, Lee Man-hee, claiming to be the ‘promised pastor’ mentioned in the bible. Pastor Steve Worsley from the Mount Albert Baptist Church in Auckland was equally concerned and said recruiters had been sneaking into church services. “They target middle or bigger sized churches where they can slip in and pretend to be a congregation member,” he said.
