What happens when Rev Moon dies?

[Domitan]

He's really an old dude. So what will happen to those influenced by him? What will happen to his power base? What will happen to The Washington Times? What will happen to his "Messianic" power? Will the house of cards collapse or will there be other like-minded elitists ready to take his place?

1. He's the messiah

he'll be resurrected of course.

[CatholicEdHead]

Isn't he a god?

Can he die?


Seriously, probably a house of cards will fall.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

11. Yup.

You are talking about a big, cashed-up organization, with no clear successor. Moon's sons have very shady and well-documented pasts. There are plenty of ambitious underlings. Look for them to fragment.

2. Well have a great big party?

eom

3. I thought he WAS dead----Who knew?

[rooboy]

4. 10 thousand couples will assemble for a mass divorce. n/t

[baldguy]

5. Thr Repblican Party will fall apart.

[Pepperbelly]

6. does he rise in 3 days?

Or is this a trick question?

Or is it?

7. I'm looking forward to finding out.

Funny how the Messiah Moon (nor any of the other faith healers) stepped in to revive Terry Schiavo.

But I'm willing to risk living in a post-Rev. Moon world....

[Domitan]

12. That will be very telling

How much influence he actually welded on others like Bush, Falwell, LaHaye and other powermongers...If Moon is truly the head of this dark and unholy alliance of the religious right and corporatism, what happens when the head dies?

8. They will be absorbed by the Republican party.

9. There'll Be Rejoicing in the Streets!

**kidding** Well, maybe not.:P

[noamnety]

10. That's when the raptors come for us all

I will be wearing a leather jacket to protect my arms from their talons.

13. The Moonie TIMES will go out of business...

...when Rev. Sun Dung Moon finally bites it.

It loses money every year. A LOT of money. On the order of several million, I believe.

Oh, what am I saying? Scaife or some other rich nutjob will step up and take it over.

Because otherwise the Liberal Media will dominate the press in D.C., etc.

:puke:

It's an old story to most of you, but Our Glorious Media has always REALLY pissed me off in ignoring Poopy Bu$h's ties to Moon. As soon as Poopy slithered out of office, he took a Moon speaking engagement for a huge payment.

If Clinton had done that, the bastards would still be writing op-ed's about it, over a decade later.

I know, I know...It's OK if you're a Republican. (IOKIYAR...)

14. I asked this very question in a Moon thread a couple days ago.

Got a very thoughtful reply from someone who appears to be very knowledgeable about the organization.

15. Thanks

Looks like if they are really working on the "inheritance" business. How well it shall succeed...we shall see.
