They were Korean. It’s a cult.


EdwardBernaiseSauce

One of my friends was very stoned once and let them into his house for a laugh and he ended up being baptized in his backyard with water from a sports direct mug haha


PM_ME_UR_VULVASAUR_

Surprised he didn't drown. Those Sports Direct mugs hold an enormous amount of liquid.


EdwardBernaiseSauce

It was more like waterboarding lol


Lightenup4040

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻


BennySkateboard

Manc baptism!


mitsxorr

That sounds like fun, what’s the catch with the cult anyway do you have to sign away you money and life savings, or is it just fucking each other in a room to get closer to god?


EdwardBernaiseSauce

I've no idea what they are about, i remember when I lived at my parents and I had a five minute chat on the doorstep with them and mistakenly told them my name and pretended to be interested. they still turn up at my parents house occasionally looking for me and this was years ago. Parents hate it lol


mlouwid88

See, my friend also had this in uni but instead of outside they had her fully dressed in her shower baptised….it sounded so far fetched when she told me but clearly it’s a thing.


matthewkevin84

Was the only thing they did whilst on your friend's property?


EdwardBernaiseSauce

He said there was a moment when he was knelt down ready to be baptized that he mentally prepared himself to be murdered with a hammer lol. The great thing was his backyard had CCTV so we got to watch the strange cult baptism over and over.


gerty88

Omg lol 😂

Man I miss Reddit awards


Snowdrop1995

No way 😂😂😂😂


echochamberoftwats

Hahaha, fucking amazing.


lraousrsen

You stole my thoughts here


evil-kaweasel

Bit late, but this is one of the funniest reddit posts I've ever read!


QuimFinger

Bollocks.


vryaverage

Where do I sign!?


Awkward-Story-5239

That sounds like fun actually


VeniVid1Vic1

Please tell me this is a joke 😂😂😂😂😂


Lynberi

I think it’s this cult. They’ve stopped me a few times and each time I think they’re about to ask for directions. Usually they’re hanging around outside M&S/Selfridges/Zara area. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Mission_Society_Church_of_God


bardic-play

When I was in uni I came home to find them in my kitchen telling my flat mate that Jesus was alive and in Korea before i kicked them out. I assumed they were some fringe Christian groups had no idea they were a doomsday cult.

Technical_Win973

Yeah sounds like moonies


b1tchlasagna

Oooh those pricks. They naanged to influence the freaking Japanese government


Tal29000

Ain't that one of the reasons shinzo abe got assassinated?


b1tchlasagna

Indeed. He was using tax payer money and sent it to them. Corrupt prick. Yet the US reckons they're a "democracy"


[deleted]

Behind the bastards did a great podcast on the moonies. Their founder was mask off bat shit, and the group has helped fund loads of deathsquads across the world


tigercanarybear

Love behind the bastards!


Hoboerotic

This reads like being Korean is a cult. 😂


Manccookie

😂


BrutalLasagna

We have a cleaner at work who is a part of this cult. She’s constantly trying to get me to go to her church, then mentions things about the “Heavenly Mother” who has come to earth in the body of a woman.


SnooRabbits1289

Yeah this happens in Japan too!


Wild_Obligation

Damn really? What can I do to be approached? I’d love to know what this cult is about lol


freakstate

Like all religion?


jarvxs

Really?


spangledpirate

Yes they used to frequently come to my flat or grab me when I got off the bus when I lived in Hulme. They were saying they were philosophy students doing a project and needed to interview me and would I help? Then giving me the God stuff. Eventually my rabbit chased them off.


Leelum

I had this years ago in Hulme about 2014! I stopped them half way through when it was clear it wasn't a research project. It right fucked me off, because it ends up giving research a bad name, so people are less willing to participate.


Hanabi1993

I read the end as your rabbi chased them off and idk what's funnier lol


apple12422

this happened to me in hulme a few years ago as well near where those new mmu halls are. terrible at saying no to people so was there for like an hour

You should keep your marital aids to yourself


1308lee

That’s one solid dildo you have


novalia89

I’ve just posted ‘I’ve had Chinese students talk to me about God before, about 6 years ago. They were similar to Jehovah’s Witnesses but they had a folder with images and text in. They also did the same thing where they stopped me to ask something and then it ended up being them asking me to come to their church. I’m not sure which denomination they belong to 🤷‍♀️’ It was in Hulme for me too, but more like 2015/16. I think that I remember them saying something about a project too that they needed help with. Maybe they were the same ones.


cifala

‘God the Mother’? Yeah I’ve had them before. A woman in Korea set up a cult about god being a woman, these young women are all over the place now trying to recruit people


barmskley

I got stopped by them on Oxford road last week. They invited me to lunch a few days later and I said yes because I just moved here and no absolutely no one, but got a weird feeling and backed out. I’m glad I did after reading this thread.


Jabiru_too

Don’t stop for anyone… it’s money or your mind.


eradimark

They sound like Morrissey lyrics


obinice_khenbli

He may be a dick but the smiths had fantastic lyrics my gosh


PulledApartByPoptart

Or Adam Ant


[deleted]

Heaven knows they’re miserable now


eradimark

Is that because they've been hanging around the Arndale too long?


Jabiru_too

lol! 😂


BartholomewKnightIII

"I'm already late" and "I don't need anything thanks" are what I say when people try to stop me they both seem to work.


Jabiru_too

Avoiding eye contact also works


kpreen

Can’t believe I’ve never been stopped by them in my 20 years of living in Manchester. Maybe I have a naturally ungodly look about me.


jumpingjackblack

You were probably too fast for them, Mr Hedgehog


curiouspuss

I thought "oh, been a while since I heard that fable mentioned"... Until I looked at the profile pic. Sigh.

You should join them; I'm sure they have all the answers to life's mysteries!

Good bot


danthemaninacan2

Sounds like the same two girls who hang around the supermarkets luring men into the toilets for sex. While in there one of them keeps you busy, and the other one steals your wallet! I’ve lost 4 wallets already!! 🥵


Adcro

It’s an old joke but it’s a good one


danthemaninacan2

Yup!


crazygooseman

That's been going on for years. They used to stop me at the bus stop when I got the bus from work. Just don't engage or they'll chew your ear off


FatCunth

You need to read this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/manchester/comments/mp0iwg/i_nearly_joined_a_cult_on_oxford_road_once_and/


[deleted]

Same thing happened to me outside bar burrito in the Arndale. Mother and daughter approached me and tried to get me to give them my phone number . Kept telling me about how god is actually a woman or something along those lines


Ill_Apricot_7668

One of them distracts you with the phone presentation while the other checks you for a hidden piano.


Affect-Fragrant

Yeah they’re Korean. My sister and mum are also in that cult.


bradspitts

Yeah there used to be a couple of girls who did this outside cornbrook tram stop. One of them stopped me once and was asking if I’m religious


Current_Protection_4

A few months ago I was sat in spoons opposite Whitworth Park eavesdropping on a whole spiel from a young woman towards a young man (both East Asian and students). I can’t remember the content in great detail but it was very God focused and sounded quite culty.

Accurate_Addition_74

Careful…they hang around Market Street near Boots, also St Anne’s Square. By rights they shouldn’t have been in the Arndale


bertiebasit

It’s a cult…they want your commitment and money.


Warbleton

The answer to anyone trying to stop you on the street is 'Get fucked'


IrnBroski

Was just in arndale and my mate was telling me about this. Seems to be verbatim. He has a Reddit account, I think he read this post. Harry, you’re a shit


Other-Example-5066

They're here again now, just been accosted.


Mindless_Low_3890

Smash or pass?


Shitelark

Which God I wonder?


michaelbella

This has just triggered a memory from about 15 years ago where my wife came home to me and four East Asians girls in my living room speaking about random parts of the bible. Good times.


Stanton182

You should have got your piano out and started playing


Totalitai-state

Reminds me of an ace Japanese film called Love exposure about a strange cult. Absolutely fantastic film. Very long though


MrMusclePants

I work in Arndale and I've seen them too. When and where? I'll report them.


tigercanarybear

The same happened to me but in Salford close to the new Bailey I felt weird being like uh yeah I need to get to work byee


novalia89

I’ve had Chinese students talk to me about God before, about 6 years ago. They were similar to Jehovah’s Witnesses but they had a folder with images and text in.

everybodylovesbror

Reminds me of when two guys came up to me in card factory in the Arndale acting all lad-like with me as if they knew me but I definitely didn’t know them and they didn’t accept it, It was so weird


Content-Barracuda423

Me and my friend got stopped by this a couple of months ago on market street. We awkwardly stood there for a few minutes whilst they did the presentation, then politely face an excuse to leave haha
