The Darkness Within La Luz del Mundo

THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTARY CONTAINS GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE.

SOME VIEWS MAY FIND IT DISTURBING.

I fixed my eyes upon the cloud,

and the cloud moved closer to me.

And as it approached me,

a figure ascended from the clouds.

Before my eyes,

stood the anointed Jehová-

draped in splendid robes of white, gleaming and resplendent.

I moved closer to see who it was.

And then,

when I laid my eyes upon him, I heard a voice say:

"Naasón... is my chosen one".

You were never alone, no.

You were never abandoned, there was merely a pause.

But now,

now that my time has come,

I can freely say to you all:

"Naasón Joaquín García,

servant of the living God

and apostle of Jesus Christ."

Today, it has been manifested:

APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST

you have been granted mercy,

today it has been manifested.

Welcome!

In Mexico, followers of La Luz del Mundo gathered to pray

in the temples of Guadalajara, Jalisco,

following the arrest of their leader, Naasón Joaquín García.

The church's international headquarters is in Hermosa Porvincia,

located in the eastern part of Guadalajara.

On Friday, followers of La Luz del Mundo Church defended their leader,

who's been detained in the United States on charges of pederasty.

God listens for the glory of the Lord.

"The LORD is in His holy temple", Amen

- says Sacred Scripture and - Amen

How do-How do we know that God listens to us?

Because we kneel as a sign, and "keep silence..."

EX-MEMBER, LA LUZ DE MUNDO

Do you believe that

the apostolic ministry

has been established by God?

And do you accept the one God chose to lead it?

- Amen. - Glory to the Lord, brethren.

Our ruler is divine.

We have experienced a change of life:

from good, to prosperous...

Today I went to the waters of baptism,

which was one of the best decisions I have ever made,

PLAINTIFF IN THE CASE AGAINST NAASÓN JOAQUÍN

and it was thanks to an apostle who allowed me to go to the waters of baptism.

...is to thank you.

I want to thank you for this love

that you are manifesting:

the love that has manifested as your presence here...

The manifestation of God occurred on June 9th, 1964.

God manifested that afternoon, and he made it known to us all!

Just like the primitive Christian church, God has sent us two authentic apostles.

God spoke to Brother Aarón, and we have every faith in that.

- Yes. - What about brother Samuel?

- By consanguinity? - No.

- By what? - By a revelation.

- By whose revelation? - God's.

KAREM'S EX-HUSBAND

...there's been some controversy regarding your comparisons to La Luz del Mundo,

particularly the suggestion that some members of La Luz del Mundo could

also follow their religious leaders to a mass suicide-

Well, look, generally speaking, the members of La Luz del Mundo

are very respectable people who have the right to their religious beliefs.

There are some very valiant people among them.

However, there are sectors of this group that have been instilled with an extreme

fanaticism for the cult teachings, almost to a degree of worship or idolatry,

of their current leader, who is known as "Brother Samuel Joaquín".

REPRESENTATIVE, 'LA LUZ DEL MUNDO"

We open a new chapter in the story of what is undoubtedly

one of the most shocking and complex socio-political and religious phenomena

of recent history.

There are new accusations against its current powerful leader, Samuel Joaquín,

which could include a list of common offenses...

EX-MEMBER, LA LUZ DEL MUNDO

From the moment he chooses one of the victims, or the girls he likes,

he starts to groom them from a young age in that big house

where he finally invites her to bathe him.

He said that we were the people of Israel and that he was the king,

and that this king needed maidens to bathe him,

to groom him, to perfume him.

He often told me to start calling him my father,

saying that my father had only had me,

but he was the one who was going to take me to heaven.

When I was sixteen years old, I was sexually abused

- By whom, sir? - By its highest leader,

Samuel Joaquín Flores.

In Mexico City, the General Directorate

of Religious Affairs of the Ministry of the Interior

received complaints from nine former members of La Luz del Mundo.

For the skeptics,

it was a sign, brothers,

of failure, of confusion;

that the Church of the Lord was going to be dissolved.

But for the people of God, it was a sign of unity,

- Amen. - a sign of strength, of struggle,

- Amen - and of triumph,

- Amen. - because we are his chosen,

and we are the favored.

May God bless and keep you all.

PLAINTIFF IN THE CASE AGAINST NAASÓN JOAQUÍN

O apostle, know that my greatest feeling

is to know that I am there,

inside your heart.

May this praise be for the honor and glory of the Lord.

Your sister is far away in Australia,

and has witnessed your perfect work beautifully flourish in new places.

Today is the birthday of the apostle of Jesus Christ,

and it is the wish of our brothers in those places

that the Lord fill him with much strength, much joy,

much happiness, and, above all, much health.

DECEMBER 8TH

Look at them, Lord, they are ashamed.

They cannot raise their heads because of their sins, because their flaws...

Let us pray and continue to pray to God.

But today Samuel Joaquín rests in the arms of the Lord.

Let us give glory to God.
