5.0 out of 5 stars Sherwood's Deforestation of The Enemies of God, October 9, 2004

By 

Ga-Ga for the God/Man - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inquisition: The Persecution and Prosecution of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon (Hardcover)

I met Mr. & Mrs. God in the sixties. I was just a lowly, dirty hippie, smoking dope and wasting my life, when members of Mooms family pulled me off of the streets of Berkeley and gave me the opportunity to travel around the country, sleeping on the floor of dirty vans and working 20 hours a day for no wages selling flowers and trinkets to help build the celestial media & real-estate kingdom for Father.

They showed me that the love of my earthly family was a deception and thankfully I never had to see them again. For a while I got tearful letters from my mother who pretended to love me and worry about me, but I was assured that it was a pack of lies and that my mom & dad were actually working for Satan.

I was also relieved of all of the horrible pressures of dating as I met my wife at our wedding at Madison Square Garden. She doesn't speak English, but I think she kind of likes me. We are helping to populate the world with true children of Moon's love.

I was never more proud than when members of Congress crowned Father king of the universe at a Senate office building. Soon thanks to the truth reported by Father's Washington Times and our members of Congress, we'll be able to overturn the devil's work on the separation of church and state and we'll all be the beneficieries of Fathers wise theocratic rule.

Thank you for a great book Carlton, great is your reward in heaven.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard-hitting, abundant with facts and shocking, April 13, 2009

By 

Patrick F. Nolan "Nolpatrick" (New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Inquisition: The Persecution and Prosecution of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon (Hardcover)

I've read this book more than once and still find items that shock and amaze. Sherwood states from the beginning that his intention was to uncover "dirt" about the Unification Church (having already won awards for such investigations of the Catholic Church), but was discouraged because he could not find any. But instead he found tons of "dirt" when he looked at the way the US gov't railroaded Rev. Moon into prison through a fake tax evasion case. On every page, Sherwood details the innumerable and audacious deceits of the Justice Dept. in their attempt to imprison this religious leader.

Honestly, it has to be read to be believed....and even then, it is hard to believe the lengths that the gov't went to (and the taxpayer money it wasted) just to put Rev. Moon in prison.

And to those who want to throw out their ignorant, intolerant and bigoted comments without having even read this book. I sympathize with you. I'm sure that the vocabulary that Sherwood uses was just too much for your third-grade education to handle.

5.0 out of 5 stars And Justice for All..., February 3, 2009

By 

Rumplestiltskin (Seoul, Korea) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inquisition: The Persecution and Prosecution of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon (Hardcover)

If you still wonder whether the trial of Rev. Moon was fair, think about these facts:

Rev.Moon failed to pay $3,000 in taxes and was put in jail.

Geitner failed to pay $34,000 in taxes and was made the Treasury Secretary.

Daschle failed to pay $128,000 in taxes and was nominated to be the Secretary of the Department of Health.

Are we talking about the same country?
