KOREAN Anti-Protestantism demonstration

On July 19th, 23 South Korean citizens were kidnapped in Kabul, Afghanistan. Many South Koreans were shocked and anxiously followed the situation. However, they became furious due to several complications and dilemmas in the process of dealing with the situation as well as the sacrifices caused by this no-win situation.
This was brought about by Sam-Mool, a Protestant church in South Korea, which arranged 'missionary work' in a hazardous area through their 'one nation public welfare organization.

South Korean Protestantism has become addicted to its own dogma, which singles out 'missionary work' for its top priority whilst ignoring the international context. Unsurprisingly, their ignorance of the target country resulted in an uncontrollable incident.
This type of missionary work has already been abolished by some Protestant churches. According to a daily newspaper, this was an accident, which followed the old American mission method from the 19th century for unilateral, conquering, self-praising missionary work.

Even though Sam-Mool claimed that their missionary work was voluntary work in order to protect the hostages and themselves from public criticism and also from danger, the majority of the public with an endless supply of digital information did not believe them.
We had seen those images and videos on the internet which contain an application form for short missionary work and their 'Jesus' preaching in Korean before the children of Afghanistan. However, Sam-Mool continued to argue that it was pure medical voluntary work.

This led to an incredible public disillusionment with the Protestant religion whose believers are supposed to be ethical and moral because not only did they lie through their teeth, but they also performed 'verbal diarrhoea' which only came across as excuses and self-rationalisation. Besides, despite the fact that the public is foaming at the mouth, the South Korean media has been busy hiding and protecting their unjust and immoral actions on their coverage of the situation and it has also been making fools of the South Korean citizens, who can easily access international media in this global and digital era.
Broadcasts, which cover and sanctify the hostages and the people that are involved in the incident, has continued and the public feels that they have been mocked and ignored by the media, the state as well as the enormous Protestant organisation, which is nothing but a commercial establishment. The public feels betrayed by the media whose conduct is far from just and impartial.

Regardless of the fact that international media have announced that the South Korean hostages were on 'mission' to spread their faith, which turns out to be true, the South Korean media is infringing the public's
'right to know' by insisting that it was pure voluntary work in order to protect the hostages and the people involved in this. It is also doing its best to idealise these people by promoting the holy death of two hostages, the hostages' voluntary 'yielding up' the privilege to return to South Korea and the 'diary on the trousers' as such.

We need to get rid of all the ji bang born stubborn pastors who don't pay taxes! Especially pastors from Busan who come to US Korean Churches. We don't need Pastors from Korea to run Korean American Churches!!!

You must know this fact...,Christianity is not a religion of many religions of world...and Jesus C. is not a founder/leader of the many religions..

Christianity is the

origion way of life of Human Race before Our Creator, God almighty!!

*Religion=man try to reach God own ways.**God ,creator=God came to human form to reach sinful human -see? opposite in this truth.

Come out from religions

@paulstrat97 I agree. However, I always thought that protestantism was a negative movement because it was a response to Catholicism. It was of course necessary , and thank God for it..

The main thing we should be promoting is sound reasoning and starting with the most important questions first before we start arguing about things that are OVER our heads. The thing that gets little human beings up tight is when accepted ideas are questioned, and the security of their identity is threatened.

Let's regret about our sins and come back to God. You see earth quakes and Tsunami in Japan?

[ned262626]

NK has a anti protestant approach primarily b/c it is seen as an american religion, and also because orthodox christianity does not really exist as a threat because the priests/bishops are long gone (executed) without which those relgions cannot be in existance

If they're ani-Protestantism, what are they "pro" for ? Pro-Catholic? Pro-Islam? Pro-Atheist? Sorry I don't understand Korean. I mean, if the caption is in English, why shouldn't their be sub-titles, as well. The former, without the latter, is a waste of time.
