Persecution Invisible In Japan: No Check on Missionary ID?

Hi! It's Shellil Linn.( ^_^)/~~~

I've checked a HP of Nippon Kaigi recently, the rightest wing cultic "civil group" which would never intend to register themselves as a religious authority. 

Nippon Kaigi claims that "we are corporative civil activist group which corporate with all kinds of religious groups, such as Jinja-Honcho(Shinto Central Government office), Soka-Gakkai, Science of Happiness and Christianity such as Shincheonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, which is the cult Christianity originated in South Korea.

Nippon Kaigi became so sensitive for it is accused as a "cult group" by so many writers since the spring 2016 in Japan.  

Nippon Kaigi has been working so hard over the internet. 

The provider I use for Japanese blog began to refuse the htlm code with my message "Mormons, Jehova's Witness, Unification Church(the Korean cult Church established by Moon Sunmyoen concerned as the sect Christianity in Japan) and the Shincheonji Church are not Christian Church" is automatically rejected since last month. 

Majority of Japanese common people are not familiar with religious activity in their day to day living. For most of Japanese, religious custom is the sub-title to have a dinner gathering with families and relatives. 

Although the ancestral worship is the major religion in Japan, there are very few family visit their family tomb on the seasons such as Obon(similar to halloween), and Higan(a week to visit family tomb on Spring & Autumn). 

I've heard that the housewife alone goes to the family tomb without her husband and their children. Young people are not interested in ancestral worship. Since Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism don't require any religious studies nor the entering ritual to join with belief, young people usually don't have any chance to know their "household traditional belief". 

So religion-less youngsters are good target for cultic religion. And the Japanese government and immigration office seems to intend "not to check the Missionary ID" strictly. 

I've heard that so many Catholic convents, monasteries had accepted a temporary stay without checking the Missionary ID, just because "no one really expect to be cheated by faked missionary in Japan". 

The permanent visa issue is so strict for most of Catholic convents and monasteries in Japan. So many document works and a Japanese guarantee is always required to extend visa even for a foreign priest who'd been decades without any trouble. 

Once there were "WANTED" poster in our parish for so called "bishop of Apostolic Catholic Church" a episcopal sect originated in Philippine. This bishop really visited our parish wearing a "bishop chasubles in the quiet residential street in a local town!

Please pray for those weak, handicapped, and missionaries from overseas.
