PA‟s hands tightly and saying repetitively, “Don‟t give up. Hang in there. Believe,” so as to
persuade PA to donate the money as Endo had said.
At this point, PA was falling into emotional despair as she sincerely began to believe that
her daughter would die prematurely due to her ancestral karma. PA thought that if this
situation were to continue, she would not be able to go home. PA also considered that as
long as she continued to decline the donation in that room, she would be bombarded
relentlessly with pleas for her to give the money. Feeling herself in a state of mental
confusion, PA finally said, “I will do it”--thus consenting to make the 30,000,000-yen
donation. In return, UCY and Tokunaga began crying and rejoicing, saying, “Thank you.
Thank you,” and other words of gratitude repeatedly to PA. Then UCY and the others pro-
ceeded to tell PA that if she told anyone else about her donation that “Satan would close in,”
and strictly ordered PA to keep her mouth shut. On that same day between 4:30 p.m. and
5:00 p.m., PA left the above room.
Subsequent to this chain of events, the following has been revealed. In the beginning of the
same month (in which PA conceded to the above- said donation), Endo, Doseki and another
UC member by the name of Okinaga had planned from the outset to demand the above
donation amount which had been determined by Endo, based on a church list recording PA‟s
donation sum to be 60,000,000 yen. Accordingly, the above-said UC members orchestrated
a schedule to teach the “unification principles” to PA via the aforesaid 10-day intensive
training course.
(b) Upon returning home, PA regretted that she had consented to make the donation. She
felt that she had been threatened and forced to donate 30,000,000 yen. At this time, PA
considered reporting the incident to the police, but due to deep inner fears that something
tragic or unfortunate might happen, PA could not file such a report.
On the day after PA had consented to the said donation, PA received a phone call from UCY
encouraging PA to go through with the donation. During this phone conversation, PA
requested that the 30,000,000-yen payment be postponed. However, UCY ignored PA‟s
entreaty, saying (among other things), “Hang in there. Don‟t give up.” Such circumstances
were urging PA to make the above donation. As a result, on 26 June 1988, PA went alone to
the Ijiri Branch of the Kyushyu Sogo Bank, withdrew 30,000,000 yen (as UCY instructed),
went to the parking lot of a variety merchandise shop called Goody located near PA‟s home,
and physically handed over the 30,000,000 yen to UCY was waiting there in a parked car.
(c) Several days later PA received a message from UCY that a ceremony to celebrate PA‟s
30,000,000-yen donation was to be held at the UC Fukuoka Church in Hakata Ward,
Fukuoka City. Accordingly, PA proceeded to this location. Here, the church director verbally
expressed gratitude for PA‟s above donation. The director then explained to PA that her
donation would serve as capital for excavation operations to construct a tunnel extending
from Japan to Korea, a plan which had been initiated by the UC. At this point, PA first
realized that her donations were being appropriated by the UC.
At the same time, a person in attendance played a piano which was sitting in front of a
picture of the UC founding father Sun Myung Moon and his wife. A celebration ceremony
was performed with UCX, UCY, and UC members gathered at the church. At this time, PA
was given a picture of the UC founding father Sun Myung Moon and his wife.
Article 3: Chain of events following the 30,000,000-yen donation
PA began to question her donation. She considered that her deceased husband certainly
would not have demanded she donate the life insurance money he had left behind. Also,
when PA heard from UCX a story concerning a person who had sold off all her land in order
to procure funds to donate money, PA first began to suspect the stories of the spiritual
world as fraudulent. PA regretted having paid the 30,000,000- yen donation. However,
PA‟s hands tightly and saying repetitively, “Don‟t give up. Hang in there. Believe,” so as to
persuade PA to donate the money as Endo had said.
