EXODUS (NGO)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EXODUS is a non-governmental organization based in South Korea. It seeks to bring international fugitive Jung Myung Seok to justice and to oppose what it sees as a destructive cult, his religion Providence. It mostly consists of former members of Providence who believe they have seen its true nature.

[edit] History

It was originally formed in the 1990s by friends of Do-hyoung Kim, someone who publicly spoke out against Jung Myung Seok and Providence, as Do-hyoung Kim Protection Association (DKPA). When media attention on Jung Myung Seok and Providence grew, it broke into three: DKPA, EXODUS, and Solidarity of People for the Sake of Justice (SPJ) because many more people were joining the movement. DKPA to protect Do-hyoung Kim, EXODUS of former members, and SPJ of those who were not former members. Later, they merged, taking the name that was most known to the public, EXODUS.
