Mr Jang Gun-woo, who turned 25, said: "I was in that church about seven years old, there's a figure in the Bible named Samuel. He said he was raising me like Samuel, and he didn’t send me to school, he slept in the temple, he memorized the Bible, he worked wIthout rest every day, and he was assaulted if he disobeyed me. The slap was basic, and the fast was ordered. At first, I couldn’t adapt. I couldn’t run. I cried a lot, but when I cried, I was confused. When I approached my parents to hug them, my feelings were different. It was a cold feeling. "
Other informants, including Mr. Kang Seok-hoon, said, "I worship three times a day; between worship times I had to do evangelism wIth One adult. I started wIth a construction errand, shoveled, worked nights when I was 10 or 11. I did the same thing wIth adults. The church keeps us from doing anything on TV, cell phOnes, or the Internet. The world is Satan. I have lived that way since I was young. " Among the Whistle Blowers were those whose fingers were cut off on machine saw blades while working.

The One-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thous I escaped on the bus and met my grandmother. "
Jang Kun-woo said, "Even if I am One, I should blame my parents for One, not for the church or pastor. I think my child's faIth was hotter than I was when I was 7 years old. I was recognized by the pastor. I would not have dOne It if I had expressed my dislike. "

"The eyes are very sensItive central nerves, connected to nerves that control the heartbeat, and there is a possibilIty that they may die if they suddenly apply pressure," said a neurosurgeon.
