Views expressed do not necessarily represent those of University Bible Fellowship
1. The Unification Church was founded by a member of the Korean CIA. The manipulation used by the Unification Church was much more sophisticated than the brainwashing used on American soldiers in the Korean conflict and maybe connected to the research in the next point.
2. Research was done on people being brainwashed in Korea and China by their governments by many of the same individuals frequently cited in literature about religious cults.
A. These researchers were sometimes funded by the military or the CIA as the CIA has an interest in learning how to control people's behavior
B.Governments already had a track record of behavior modification programs otherwise there would be no reason for Robert Jay Lifton, Margaret Thaler Singer, Jolly and others some of whom are frequently cited in literature about cults researching the behavior modification programs of foreign governments in the first place.
C. The United States government paid big money to research brainwashing on non consenting subjects in real life human experiments.
3. Comparisons of University Bible Fellowship and the Unification Church
University Bible Fellowship uses a similar set of brainwashing techniques to the Unification Church. Both the Unification Church and University Bible Fellowship have a brainwashing program more sophisticated than the one the Korean government used on American soldiers. The founder of the Unification Church was from the Korean CIA and their brainwashing was intimately connected with the government.
The following is a unsubstantiated possibility given points 1 through 3
The Unification Church looks strange because of it's extra books, but I believe people are more interested in University Bible Fellowship not calling it a cult as often because it uses "the Bible alone." Could University Bible Fellowship be a upgraded Unification Church 2.0 experiment finding they can control people using "the Bible alone" without the "extra books" that make it less appealing to those with protestant and Catholic upbringings that started on a later date.
The rest of the following will be sources to back up my earlier points.

Congress investigated Moon's business empire and its alleged connections to the Korean CIA in 1978 during the so-called "Koreagate" bribery scandal, describing Moon's worldwide operations as designed to further the growth of a religious cult with Moon at the center.

During the 1977-78 Congressional Subcommittee Investigation into South Korean CIA activities in the United States, he consulted as an expert on the Moon organization and provided information and internal documents regarding Moon’s desire to influence politics in his bid to “take over the world.”

In her long career, Dr. Singer investigated and testified about techniques used by North Koreans against American soldiers in wartime and the Symbionese Liberation Army's influence over the kidnapped heiress Patricia Hearst.
In the 1950's, Dr. Singer interviewed a number of American soldiers who had renounced the United States after returning from captivity in North Korea. The soldiers, she found, had been isolated and plied with propaganda, at times under the threat of physical harm.

The church lost its case.

Study of POWs from Korean War[edit]
In the 1950s, West, then a Air Force doctor at Lackland Air Force Base,[3] was appointed to a panel to discover why 36 of 59 airmen captured in the Korean War had confessed or co-operated in Korean allegations of war crimes committed by the United States. Amid speculation that the airmen had been brainwashed or drugged, West came to a simpler conclusion: "What we found enabled us to rule out drugs, hypnosis or other mysterious trickery," he said. "It was just one device used to confuse, bewilder and torment our men until they were ready to confess to anything. That device was prolonged, chronic loss of sleep." The airmen avoided being court-martialed for these events as a result of West's research.[4]He then published a paper with the title "United States Airforce prisoners of the Chinese Communist. Methods of forceful indoctrination : Observations and Interviews." [5]
Project MKUltra[edit]
West did his psychiatry residency at Cornell University, an MKUltra institution and site of the Human Ecology Fund.[6][7] He later became a subcontractor for MKUltra subproject 43, a $20,800 grant by the CIA while he was chairman of the department of Psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma. The proposal submitted by West was titled "Psychophysiological Studies of Hypnosis and Suggestability” with an accompanying document titled “Studies of Dissociative States".[8]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Jolyon_West
The Sleep Room was a 1998 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television movie about experiments on Canadian mental patients that were carried out in the 1950s and 1960s by Donald Ewan Cameron and funded by the CIA's MK Ultra program. It originally aired as a miniseries and is based on the book In The Sleep Room: The Story of CIA Brainwashing Experiments in Canada by Anne Collins.
The first half of the film details the evolution of Cameron's experiments using a procedure he called psychic driving which included continuous loop taped messages while the patients were under the influence of curare and LSD, as well as intensive electroshock treatments. The second half covers the legal efforts of the patients and their attorneys in the 1980s to obtain a settlement. The film was directed by Anne Wheeler and starred Leon Pownall, Macha Grenon, Nicola Cavendish, Donald Moffat, Diego Matamoros and Marina Orsini. It won several Gemini awards, including best television movie, best direction, best performance, best sound, and outstanding special effects in make-up.[1][2][3][4]

Donald Ewen Cameron (24 December 1901 – 8 September 1967)[1] — known as D. Ewen Cameron or Ewen Cameron — was a Scottish-born psychiatrist who served as President of the American Psychiatric Association (1952–1953), Canadian Psychiatric Association (1958-1959),[2] American Psychopathological Association (1963),[3] Society of Biological Psychiatry (1965)[4] and World Psychiatric Association (1961-1966).[5] In spite of his high professional reputation, he has been criticized for administering electroshock therapy and experimental drugs to patients without their informed consent. Some of this work took place in the context of the Project MKUltra mind control program.[6]

Project MKUltra was first brought to public attention in 1975 by the Church Committee of the U.S. Congress, and a Gerald Ford commission to investigate CIA activities within the United States. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKUltra files destroyed in 1973; the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small number of documents that survived Helms's destruction order.[17]
In 1977, a Freedom of Information Act request uncovered a cache of 20,000 documents relating to project MKUltra, which led to Senate hearings later that same year.[4][18] In July 2001, some surviving information regarding MKUltra was declassified.
Forty-four American colleges or universities, 15 research foundations or chemical or pharmaceutical companies including Sandoz (now Novartis) and Eli Lilly and Company, 12 hospitals or clinics (in addition to those associated with universities), and three prisons are known to have participated in MKUltra.[19][20]

Additional details of the contents trickled out over the years, but requests by journalists and historians for access to the documents under the Freedom of Information Act were long denied. Finally, in June 2007, CIA Director Michael Hayden announced that the documents would be released to the public at an announcement made to the annual meeting of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations.[1] A six-page summary of the reports was made available at the National Security Archive (based at George Washington University), with the following introduction:
The Central Intelligence Agency violated its charter for 25 years until revelations of illegal wiretapping, domestic surveillance, assassination plots, and human experimentation led to official investigations and reforms in the 1970s.[4]The complete set of documents, with some redactions (including a number of pages in their entirety), was released on the CIA website on June 25, 2007
