I am trying to come to grips with the attack I was subjected to at the hands of a certain Korean Unification Church minister - pressuring me repeatedly to marry this Japanese woman, after I made clear to him that I did not wish to do so - before I ever met her.



Originally, I said that I did not want to even meet her. I did not want to give her the wrong impression. However, after being subjected to pressure by this Korean "reverend," I said that I would meet her, so long as everyone concerned understood that I did not wish to get married. He assured me that he understood.



Despite that, I was subjected to repeated harassment, including claims from the "reverend" that he had a vision that this Japanese woman was a gift sent by God for me. He asked me if that mattered, and I said that I would take it into consideration if the vision came to me, not to him. He then stopped for a few minutes, only to begin again. This time, I told him to stop. I said that he was rude. He stopped.



The next day, the woman called me three times - and left one message on my answering machine. I called back and spoke with one of the local Unification Church ministers. I explained the situation to her. Her response was only that Koreans are very aggressive in their personalities, but that his intentions were good.



I disagreed and said that I thought it was nothing but ego. This fellow was like a door-to-door salesman, trying to win some points - either in his own mind or with God.



It has been almost a week and, thankfully, I have not heard from any of these "people" since that time.



I used to have a very positive view of the Unificationists. However, the way I was treated resonated with how I know members of the group have treated others. I will need to think about it for a time. Perhaps I just need to process what happened.
