Very scary documentary about Rev. Sun Myung Moon

I had mentioned to a few of you that I had seen a very scary short documentary about Rev. Moon (and may I ask who gets to decide the reverential status of one individual over another?  The Rev. Ian Paisley is another example of a less than shining light but I digress…) and just how [...] [...]

Nevertheless Phil has decided to step down on the 1st of January next year in order to pursue a long desire to move into television. I could have helped him there as I have [...] [...]
