Preachers in the USA beware, Your own flock may turn on you.

The city of Seoul, South Korea, on Sunday asked prosecutors to investigate the founder of a church at the center of the country’s coronavirus outbreak and other top leaders of the sect on murder and other criminal charges.
Official believe that the church has contributed to the country’s rising death toll from the virus — which reached 18 as of Sunday — by failing to provide disease-control officials with a full accurate list of church members and by interfering with the government’s efforts to fight the outbreak.
In a Facebook post, Mayor Park Won-soon of Seoul said the church’s behavior was tantamount to “murder through to willful negligence.”
Officials say that nearly 60 percent of the 3,736 confirmed cases in South Korea are in members of
Shincheonji Church of Jesus in the southeastern city of Daegu or people who came into contact with them.
