South Korea is run by bizarre Protestant cults. Even their feminist movement is some kind of cult. These people are really into cults.
Then they have the nerve to insult the wholesome North Koreans for a family-values based communist system.
However, raising the birthrate is a noble cause. But it probably won’t even work, because South Korea is the most vaxed country, using primarily Pfizer. The cults all supported that, by the way.
The plan to raise the birthrate is the worst plan ever, of course, and will actually reduce it.
Yoido Full Gospel Church, Korea’s largest Protestant church, has announced its five-year mission to address the country’s falling birthrate with new and revamped initiatives.
“At the forefront of priorities for Korea should be the issue of birthrate. But despite the government’s expenditure of trillions of won to resolve this matter, the actual [financial and social] benefits for parents raising children still remain elusive,” the Rev. Lee Young-hoon, the senior pastor of the megachurch, said in a press conference in Seoul, Wednesday.
“Fostering ideal conditions for marriage and child-rearing lies as the central tasks. Our church proposes that the entire society develop a culture of child care responsibility that is concerned not only with the birth of children but with their proper growth.”
The church introduced the concept of “childcare sensitivity,” simliar to gender sensitivity, which highlights discrimination or imbalances in daily life stemming from gender differences. This concept seeks to identify discrimination and challenges faced in having and raising children, encouraging the society to collectively address and rectify these issues.
As part of its initiatives, the megachurch has drastically increased the amount of childbirth subsidies that have been provided to its congregants since 2012. So far, 5.4 billion won ($4.04 million) have been distributed to over 5,000 families — 1 million won for the first newborn, 2 million won for the second, 5 million won for the third and fourth each and 10 million won for the fifth.
Starting this year, that amount will nearly double — 2 million won for the first child, 3 million won for the second, 5 million won for the third and 10 million won for the fourth and onward.
It will enhance the operation of the Vine Center, a residential facility dedicated to single mothers under the age of 24 and their infants. It is also mulling over plans to expand the usage of its district churches and houses of prayer scattered across the greater Seoul area for after-school programs.
A key focus of the church’s strategy is fostering a culture of respect for women, particularly through putting more women in leadership posts and empowering them within the church community.
This year, it is set to promote 20 women to serve as church elders — for the first time in its six-decade history — and continue ordaining female pastors, building on the momentum of appointing 47 women in 2023.
Meanwhile, the megachurch plans to continue to support international students and multicultural families in Korea through the Global Elim Foundation.
This is totally against the Bible.
The birth rate problem only appeared when people stopped taking this seriously
