Then they turn to drugs, yearning to feel that moment of love’s rapture. Through drug-induced hallucinations they can feel imaginary love, but the feeling lasts only until the drug wears off.<br />The stimulating effect of the strongest drug cannot be compared to true love. Even drugs lean on true love, we can see that. Love creates an electrical vibration between heaven and earth. The touch of love’s vibration rings out through the universe as if through the speaker of a giant radio. Connecting to the drug world is like turning on a broken radio and hearing a faint noise, but with true love we tune in to the clear signal.] When the true love loudspeaker booms, “Wah-ah,” the whole world gets excited.

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything for so very long. There has been plenty loads for me to post about, I just haven't prioritized my time to actually posting here. Today I just wanted to post this logo online so that I, along with other Unificationists, could more easily use it. In my case, I want to use it in a gmail auto-signature. For some reason, gmail only allows you to add an image to your auto-signature from a web-location, rather than being able to upload an image directly from your computer. It's very strange since they allow direct uploads of images into the email itself, just not in the auto-signature input section in the settings. So I have to upload it first to Blogger in order to use it in my auto-signature.<br />
<br />
Just to make sure, I deserve no credit for the design of this logo. I have received it in emails from other Unificationists, but I have no idea who created this particular one. I've looked for it online but thus far haven't been able to find it. But thank you to whomever did design this!<br />
<br />
By the way, here is some info about the Unification Symbol:<br />
<br />
From Unification.net, a private website belonging to an American Unificationist: http://www.unification.net/tradition/tt1-10.html<br />
<br />
From our international president Hyung Jin Moon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkJe8tg1YKc<br />

Hopefully I'll be able to write a little bit more often. We'll see.<br />

Sincerely, centering on True Love,<br />

Many of the comments were rather rude, but I like to think most were simply misinformed.</span><br /><br />There was so much that I wanted to respond to, that I felt like making a blog-post would be more appropriate.<br /><br />Here is what I wanted to say, coupled with some of the comments that I found needed to be expanded upon by someone more knowledgeable of the Unification movement. The commentors "names" and their comments are colored in green, while my opinions and explanations are in black.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">#1; LG DACOM Stinks, Royally:</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“She sleeps while listening to either an mp3 player or her cell phone during her supposed wedding. The Moonies are a cult and Moon Sun Myung is a fraud. These guys, Scientologists, and LDS are all cut from the same cloth.”</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The headphones are probably attached to a radio which is receiving a translation of what is being said on stage. This is very common, because although Father Moon does speak and understand a lot of English since he lived in the States for many years, he still highly prefers to speak in his native language, Korean. At large events such as a wedding, we are often told to bring a portable radio. Then they will usually have two radio translators on two different open stations. One will be translating from Korean to English. The other will be translating from Korean to Japanese.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As for her tilting her head down at a funny angle with her eyes closed, I can’t really say for sure but I really doubt she is asleep considering she, along with everyone else, is standing. Maybe she’s praying silently during a pause in the program, or maybe she’s streching her neck, but I highly doubt she is sleeping.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Finally, Scientologists, LDS’, and Unificationists are quite different. If I’m not mistaken: Scientologists beleive life on Earth was started by extra-terrestrial beings; LDS’ believe that Jesus resurrected again in North America, thus giving forth the gospel anew to the local Native American inhabitants; while Unificationists believe that all the major prophets were inspired by God, but Jesus was special in that he was meant to establish a family without original sin (false sex centered on Satin instead of “Absolute sex” between a mature heterosexual couple centered on God’s love) in order to bring all of humanity back into God’s lineage, and that Father Moon (along with his wife, Hak Ja Han) has the mission to fulfill Jesus’ messianic role.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">#9; Tom Langley:</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Zilchy, I believe that the Moonies have had these mass weddings in the US so it’s not just an Asian thing even though the Moonies are based in Korea. Even though they claim to be strongly anti-communist they helped the NK set up a factory to produce a Fiat knock off car. It’s all about money & power.”</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Indeed, they don’t only do it in Korea, we have members all over the world. I’m full American, my wife is half Norwegian. We have friends who are French/Norwegian+Brazilian/Japanese, French/Norwegian+Korean, French/Norwegian+African/Canadian, Austrian/Norwegian+Korean, American/French+Norwegian/British, Austrian/American+German, German/Norwegian+Swiss...</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We are also indeed very anti communist. In fact, Father Moon was imprisoned in a North-Korean a political/religious concentration camp during the Korean War because of what he was teaching. He almost died, but UN troops freed him and his fellow prisoners. We also indeed have several business ventures in North Korea, including car manufacture and tourism. We also maintain a “Peace Embassy” in Pyongyang, and a museum in Father Moon’s original home town. Once in a while we even send a soccer team or a ballet group up north for some peaceful exchange. It was indeed Father Moon’s efforts which opened the way for South Koreans to be allowed to visit their families in the North.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The reason why we have been able to form such a good relationship with North Korea, one that is so close that people from the Unification movement have been able to travel there even at the height of the nuclear crisis, if because of Father Moons philosophy of peace. He knows that the only way to ever have lasting peace is not through war, or even non-violent protests. The only way to true peace is through loving the enemy even more than you love your own family. This is why Father Moon’s family has suffered so much despite his wish to create an ideal family as a model for the world, and this is why so many Unificationist families have suffered in their personal and financial lives. It is because of our philosophy that we will never have true world peace unless we sacrifice ourselves completely for God and humankind. Kim-Il-Sung, the man who was president of North Korea during the time Father Moon was imprisoned in North Korea, was able to embrace Father Moon in brotherly love because of the eternal and unchanging love that Father Moon could give despite their stark differences in ideology. The idea comes from the fact that God is our eternal True Parent who loves every single human being as His child no matter what, and that we should love our fellow human beings the same way God does.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">#17; LG DACOM Stinks, Royally:</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“They owned the Washington Times until this year and consistently tried to pass it off as a true competitor to the Washington Post.”</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This just in, a group laying to Father Moon was recently able to purchase it back for $1 in exchange for responsibility for paying down all it’s debts. </span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">#20; Vince:</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For a further explanation of The Little Angels: it is a dance troupe made up of mostly of the children of rich, non-Unificationist parents. The dance school they attend, however, was founded by father Moon. This year they were sent by Father Moon around the world to thank the veterans who fought, bled, and died in the Korean war to preserve freedom on the Korean peninsula. Next year they will be visiting the nations who contributed to the war in other ways, such as Norway’s gift of a floating hospital.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Finally here is to the <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">comparisons between Koreans and Unificationists.</span> Actually, while traditional Korean culture does contain many aspects which made it possible for them to become the new Chosen People, to be Korean is not the same as to be Unificationist. One thing is the Koreans, just as the Japanese, tend to be very racially closed-minded. Even Unificationist Koreans have a harder time with international marriages than Unificationists from the west.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Another thing is that Love is exceedingly important for a Unificationist marriage. God wants us to be married so that He can experience love through us. The ideal for a Unificationist is to first find perfect mind-body unity centered on the mind, then form an individual loving relationship with God, and then centered on that love for God - get married and love your spouse just as deeply as you love God. Finally, families should enjoy, love, and take care of all of creation. If all individuals and families were able to do this, there would be no need for religion or government as we see these institutions today. With our own direct relationship to God, we would need no government or religion to tell us what is right and wrong. With perfect, loving, God-centered families, we would not need religion to teach us how to love, nor government to support us or organize our lives. People would live in harmony with each other, God, and with nature. This would be the Kingdom of Heaven. A marriage without love is destined to fail miserably and to cause misery.<br /><br />In Liberty, centering on True Love,<br /><br />Christopher D.

Diaz says. "He asked me, 'Why are you doing this?'"<br /><br />Diaz replied: "If you're willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then I guess you must really need the money.

"He says, 'But you're even nice to the dishwasher.'"<br /><br />Diaz replied, "Well, haven't you been taught you should be nice to everybody?"<br /><br />"Yea, but I didn't think people actually behaved that way," the teen said.<br /><br />Diaz asked him what he wanted out of life. "He just had almost a sad face," Diaz says.<br /><br />The teen couldn't answer Diaz — or he didn't want to.<br /><br />When the bill arrived, Diaz told the teen, "Look, I guess you're going to have to pay for this bill 'cause you have my money and I can't pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I'll gladly treat you."<br /><br />The teen "didn't even think about it" and returned the wallet, Diaz says. "I gave him $20 ... I figure maybe it'll help him. I don't know."<br /><br /> Diaz says he asked for something in return — the teen's knife — "and he gave it to me."<br /><br />Afterward, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, "You're the type of kid that if someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch."<br /><br />"I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It's as simple as it gets in this complicated world."<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Produced for Morning Edition by Michael Garofalo.</span></blockquote><br /><br />In Love and Liberty from Siggerud, Ski, Norge,<br /><br />Christopher D.

He was supported by <span class="xn-person">Luke Higuchi</span>, president of the Survivors Against Forced Exit, the Rev. <span class="xn-person">Michael Jenkins</span>, chairman of the American Clergy Leadership Conference, and the Rev. <span class="xn-person">Jesse Edwards</span>. Several victims of Japanese abduction and attempted deprogramming attended the event to share their stories and answer questions. Numerous members of the Korean and Japanese media attended. </p> <p>The documentary titled "Kidnapping and Confinement in the Unification Church – Kiyomi Returns Home After 13 Years" inspired today's protest and detailed the abduction and confinement of several members of the Unification Church, a matter of persecution that occurs daily in <span class="xn-location">Japan</span> at the hands of religious deprogrammers. The documentary has garnered a large amount of attention in Korea and is gaining notoriety within the Korean-American community. </p> <p>"The Japanese government is turning a blind eye to this persecution," said Dr. Rouse. "It's time to stop the abductions and free the victims. We must protest religious freedom and human rights."</p> <p>The protest concluded with Dr. Rouse and supporters walking into the Japanese Consulate and hand-delivering a <a onclick="var s=s_gi(s_account);s.linkTrackVars='prop5,eVar3,prop15';s.prop5='External Link';s.eVar3=s.prop5;s.prop15='104814079';s.tl(this,'o','ExternalLink');" target="_blank" href="http://stopjapanabductions.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Letter_Consul-General.pdf">letter</a> directly to an aid of the Honorable Shinichi Nishmiya, the Consulate General.

I'm a 2nd gen. Unificationist born from two ex-Catholic American Unificationists. I was born in Washington D.C. and lived there until I was 8 and attended New Hope Academy in Maryland. I then moved to Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts.<br /><br />I was Blessed with Lisa Widenhofer of Norway at East Garden (New York) on December 26th 2004. I have now been living with her in Norway off and on (mostly on) since September 2006 and we're expecting a little 3rd gen. (a boy) around May 11th of this year.<br /><br />If you wish, you can learn more about me by reading this blog, following <a href="http://www.twitter.com/mvfipher/">me on twitter</a>, or checking out my other blog called <a href="http://fipher.blogspot.com/">Min Sanhet</a>.<br /><br />Though I do still have strong faith in God, True Parents, True Family, and the entire Unification Movement; I respect your efforts on <a href="http://howwelldoyouknowyourmoon.tumblr.com/">your blog</a> to spread what you believe to be the truth. I have my own theories about the accusations you make, and I will get into why I still believe another day. I desperately wish that True Parents and/or the True Children would answer once and for all these very important questions that you and many others bring up.<br /><br />However, I want to say this, that I would respect you a lot more if you did not post anonymously. There are other people in the Anti-Unificationist movement than you whom have been open about who they are. Have any of them been hunted down and harassed? Any Unificationist who upon learning your identity, sought you out to harass you, would be going against strong Unificationist tenants of loving your enemy, even dying for the sake of sinners over and over again as we are taught True Father has through the "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMUk1pJYEmc">7 Deaths and Resurrections</a>". So I am asking, why do you and your writers hide yourselves?<br /><br />Centering on True Love,<br /><br />Christopher (Fipher) D.

It looks like not a single member of our community there was seriously injured. However, they still have no roof over their heads, no water, and very little food.<br /><br />If you want to help, first and foremost please make a donation <a href="http://www.lovinlifeministries.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63:support-the-unification-church-of-haiti&catid=6:news-events&Itemid=86">via Lovin Life Ministries.</a><br /><br />Second, you can join <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=249591324177&ref=ts">Helping Unification Church in Haiti</a> on facebook to stay updated on their situation.<br /><br />Below are two letters. This first is from Rev. Michael Lamson, the founder and administrator for "helping unification Church in Haiti" on facebook. <br /><br /><blockquote> Haiti UC Update<br /><br />Dear brothers and sisters,<br /><br />I am sending information as it comes in so we can understand our members situation. I believe that even if we can not help financially we can use the power of prayer to send many absolute good spirits to help.<br /><br />Phone and internet are difficult to come by at this time but our brother Paul is sending us updates as he can and our sister Evelyn Drake in Florida is also helping us collect information.<br /><br />Tonight we learned that most members along with others are living in an open space behind the now destroyed church center. There is little food and no water. Most people have not been able to bathe since the quake hit. They have shared that the most prominent smell comes from those who have died. I can not imagine.<br /><br />Theodule Paul the National leader, his wife Fugiko and their three children were in the center with members when the quake hit. When the quake hit Theothane their 6 year old daughter ran into the room where her mother was with their new born daughter. Fugiko could only run out of the house with the new born and one of the walls fell on Theothane.<br />Rev. Paul was able to escape with other members and his 3 year old son Theothile. It took them over an hour to dig out Theothane who was bleeding from her head and eyes.<br /><br />The Japanese Embassy was able to relocate Fugiko, Theothane and their new born daughter to Dominican Republic. We are not sure how they are doing in Dominican Republic.<br /><br />We are not sure how other members are but it looks like only Theothane was seriously injured.<br /><br />It is possible that some of the banks will reopen in Port-au-Prince and we can start sending funds directly to the church account there. For now lets work together to help make sure the members can have basic food and water and help raise money to rebuild the church and mission in Haiti.<br /><br />Rev. lamson</blockquote> This second letter is from the national leader of the Unification Church in Haiti, Theodule Paul.<br /><blockquote><br /> Dear Brothers and Sisters<br /><br />9 days after the earthquake, we are still waiting for some help from the government or international community, we are about 100 people living in the yard of Unification Church with nothing: no water, no foods, no blankets, no tents, and we are on breathing death... our place is like a huge cemetery, children are crying but parents can not do anything.<br /><br />We only listen on radio that help has come but we do not see nothing, the coordination is not made well, people must fight in order to find some foods or water.<br /><br />we are living with many injured people who are also suffering from water and foods.<br /><br />We do not have electricity, many of us do not take a bath since that tragedy, we are breathing all kind of thing particularly we are breathing the death.<br /><br />we really need your help, your donation in order to face all this tragedy.<br /><br />Many people are brcoming crazy because they have lost everything. they do see the value of life.<br /><br />please help us.<br /><br />may God bless you.<br /><br />Theodule</blockquote> The sooner the Unification members and Church can stand back on their own feet, the sooner they can get back to their mission of helping the Haitian people to inherit God's heart. Please donate to help members get food and water and rebuild the church and mission in Haiti <a href="http://www.lovinlifeministries.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63:support-the-unification-church-of-haiti&catid=6:news-events&Itemid=86">via the Lovin' Life Ministry's "Haiti Relief Fund"</a>. If you can't, and even if you can, prayers are of course also welcome to be sent their way, as well as for the entire nation of Haiti.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Christopher D.

What does that mean? I means to shut off all your lights and electric appliances for one hour. The purpose is to raise awareness of how much energy we use and how it effects our environment.<br /><br />Ideally we should all use a lot less electricity than we do, and turning off all our electricity using devises can remind ourselves and our neighbors(by seeing our lights off) to try to use less.<br /><br />Weather you believe in "Global Warming" or not, less energy usage means less pollution and waste. I hope you will join me in flipping the switch tomorrow night. For those of you who are a fan of the Christian/Jewish Bible, you can do this remembering <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201:28">Genesis 1:28</a>.<br /><br />To learn more, check out <a href="http://www.earthhour.org/home/">http://www.earthhour.org/home/</a> and select your country to see what related events are going on.

To find a screening near you, click <a href="http://www.linkglobal.org/take-action/tours/crossing_map.html">here</a>.<br /><br />There may not currently be a screening near you - especially if you're outside the U.S. since it looks like right now they are concentrating their efforts on awareness there. This makes sense because currently the United States is still technically at war with North Korean government. This status is one of the reasons why the North Korean people suffer so much. Kim-Jong-Il is insane, more so than his father, and so the North Korean people have no hope at all from him. However, South Korea and it's allies such as the United States do have the power to save the North Korean people. We can and <span style="font-style: italic;">must</span> do something.<br /><br />However, our governments will not do anything unless we damand it, and we will not be able to demand it with a lound enough voice unless we have millions of people demanding it with the heart of someone who knows the situation there. In order to occomplish this, we have got to spread this movie around not just the United States but the whole world. I urge everyone to try to get a screening near you, even if you're not in the United States.<br /><br />For information on organising a screening near you, click <a href="http://www.linkglobal.org/take-action/tours/screening_signup.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Here is a list of other ways you can help the North Korean people.<br /><br />1. Join the Universal Peace Federation in their effort towards Korean Reunification with their <a href="http://upf.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=79&Itemid=92">North East Asia Peace Initiative</a>.<br /><br />2. Join LiNK in one of their three projects: <a href="http://www.linkglobal.org/the-movement.html">The Movement</a>, <a href="http://www.linkglobal.org/the-underground.html">The Underground</a>, <a href="http://www.linkglobal.org/the-transition.html">The Transition</a>.<br /><br />3. <a href="https://secure.groundspring.org/dn/index.php?aid=11205">Donate directly to LiNK</a> or help rais funds <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> awareness by <a href="http://www.linkglobal.org/store/">shopping at their store</a> and using their products on a daily basis. When you where an I Love North Korea T-Shirt you are sure to get some stares, and an opportunity to explain yourself is a really great personal way to spread awareness.<br /><br />How far do your donations go? LiNK claims that just 20 USD will provide a child with a month of food, clothing, and childcare, 50 USD provides 6 months of shelter, 100 USD provides 4 months of tuition (not college, but normal elemtry school), 250 USD privides 1 child with food and supplies for 3 months, and 1,000 USD provides 1 child with food and supplies for a whole year. To learn more about donating to LiNK, click <a href="http://www.linkglobal.org/donate/why-donate.html">here</a>.<br /><br />4. Reprioratise your finances to include less flashy cell phones and more helping people other than yourself.<br /><br />I am sure there are other ways you can help if you only look hard enough. One website that I keep finding in searches is <a href="http://www.northkoreanrefugees.com/">Life Funds for North Korean Refugees</a>. Perhaps LFNKR and LiNK should think about linking up - pun intended.<br /><br />For the fight for Cheon-Il-Guk,<br /><br />Christopher D. Osborn<br />Bergen, Hordaland, NorgeChristopher D.
