My husband has always worked in construction and, in 2012, founded his own business, which I assisted him as a 1 ton truck driver, helping run related errands whilst also raising our children.

I had lived a life as a believer for more than 20 years. I moved from one church to another because my curiosity in the Word kept growing. Whenever I asked the head pastors questions about the Word, they were unable to give me clear answers. All I heard were their own thoughts.

During that time, in May 2011, I began studying the Bible through a mutual acquaintance. I had every one of my questions cleared up. That's when I decided to leave my church and begin my life of faith at Shincheonji Church.

Since I couldn't contain my newfound joy learning this word, I invited my husband to also study the Bible. During this period of his studies, I noticed that my husband began showing doubts, but he reassured me of his resolve to continue studying the word.

In reality, he was buying time and making plans with my in-laws and a conversion pastor to get me onto a 'coercive conversion programme'.

One evening, out of the blue, my husband told me that he had work to do in the office, so I left home with him and arrived at his office to find my in-laws there. Suddenly, my husband and brother-in-law grabbed me and forced me into a car. As much as I resisted, I could not get out.

My husband and brother-in-law persuaded me to stop off at a hospital so we could discuss our respective faiths and the church which was teaching correct doctrine. I thought that a hospital, as a public place, was a safe spot. I was wrong. Located next to a church, we stopped off outside this hospital. I was confined against my will and family took turns guarding me to prevent me from escaping.

Inside, I told the conversion 'businessman' (pastor) that I did not want to undergo this 'programme'. My husband told me that, if I refused to consent, he would take the conversion programme with me.

My husband had already become a puppet in the hands of this conversion pastor, listening and obeying only to his words and those of his associates over and above I as his wife. Eventually, my husband and I both underwent coercive conversion.

The 'pastor' in question did not speak according to the Bible, but instead cursed and slandered Shincheonji Church. At one point three days later, having failed to 'de-convert', my husband broke a wooden desk in rage with his fist and cursed me. I knew him to be a calm, homely husband who had morphed into a completely different character because of the manipulation and fear instilled by these conversion pastors.

My heart pounded in fear and I felt the onset of chest pain.

On day four of my confinement (Saturday), my husband realised I wouldn't be converted so he brought me home. On the following Monday, we went to the police station and he made me cancel my request for personal protection and engaged in illegal activity with the collusion of the police. The police condoned this act of kidnap and confinement, concealing a blatant violation of my basic rights, by threatening me not to file a truthful police report so that my husband avoids punishment for acts of kidnap and forcible confinement. If the police fails to uphold the law at its most basic level, where can one turn?

Since then, I have been in a state of worry whenever I'm outside, thinking I'm being followed. Whenever a stranger stops to speak with me or a car suddenly parks by, I tense up and a burning sensation in my chest area arises. With existing thyroid issues, diabetes and anaemia, the pain had intensified to the extent that I was hospitalised.

Post-treatment, I returned home where my husband demanded that I remain for one month, threatening to draft a memorandum of a waiver of custody of our children if I refused. The children had already been re-located to the conversion pastor's home. My husband treated me like some kind of diseased criminal.

I couldn't bear the thought of being detached from my children, whom I missed terribly, so I left the house. I went to visit them many times, but they did not meet me or answer the phone. The slanderous words of the conversion pastor made me out to be contagious not only in the sight of my husband, but also my children.

My husband then took our children and moved to a studio adjoining another Protestant church without informing me. He has since filed for divorce. A 15-year marriage of relative peace and stability with social contact had come to an end.

My husband revered this conversion pastor as if he were God, pledging absolute loyalty. However, this pastor indoctrinated my husband and instigated him to file for divorce. When I said that I would never agree to divorce, they went on to prepare divorce papers and filed for divorce. Can such a person truly be called God's servant or pastor?

Again, our family lived in peace until these religious scammers - three pastors from three churches - intervened. My husband was a homely man and a fine example to all, and I was similarly faithful to my family, for which my husband was always grateful. Our children were even lauded for their polite manners and good behaviour. We had a family that others would envy. These scammers show no regard for others' wellbeing.

The ambitions of a conversion pastor is solely to make money. Their wrongdoings must be revealed and brought before a court of law. I am making this desperate appeal in the hope that there will be no more cases like mine.

I make this plea so that you help cease their illegal activities. These conversion pastors who operate a 'cult counselling centre' (heresy investigation committee) for the purposes of making money, instigating families to commit crimes and break apart through divorce, must be punished before a court of law to prevent this from happening again.
