I’m a Believer

Jane Allison joined the Unification Church – the Moonies – three days after her 18thbirthday.

I met with some girlfriends and someone suggested going to a Moonies meeting for a laugh. We went along and were surprised – everyone seemed kind and intelligent. I started going to their meetings and hanging out with them at weekends. They talked about helping the elderly and poor and working towards a better world. I told my parents about them but they told me to stop seeing them immediately. I am not a rebellious person but I didn’t see why I should stop – they knew nothing about it. Just after my 18th birthday the Moonies asked me if I wanted to join them officially in London. I said “yes”. It seemed the right thing to do.

I went to a big house in Kent to a 21-day workshop. By the end of the 21 days everybody feels euphoric. But what was actually going on without me realizing it was a classic form of brainwashing.

I left to join the Moonie centre in Leeds. My life revolved around fundraising and trying to get new recruits. I got up at 8 a.m. and didn’t stop until 11 at night, seven days a week. I carried on like this for nearly four years. I hardly ever saw my family. They kept writing and phoning but I wasn’t interested. I believed they were evil because they were trying to steal me away from the organization.

One day I couldn’t take any more and when everyone was out I rang a friend to come and get me. You can’t imagine how difficult it was. I could have walked away physically at any time, but mentally it’s so difficult. They tell you you’ll never have a fulfilled life if you leave, and you believe them. It took me a long time to feel anything like normal. I felt guilt, shame and fear.
