Fluff. Mass (as in group)marriage

Yes.

And are they still married ?

All I know is DD took (until quite recently) ballet from a ballet company that is financially supported by the Unification Church (Moonies). There is no religious component or anything that shows the connection so if I didn't know already I would never know- they have a residential school in DC as well and no one has any idea of the ties. If anything, I think the church connection tones down the often too-stringent (ie, we would say abusive) Korean teaching practices like physical punishment that go on in many ballet schools here- nothing like that at all. Quite refreshing, actually. And I always support those who support the arts, I don't care if it's a cult. There is no pressure to join, lol.

So my Moonie impression is positive, but I have no idea if anyone I know got group married. It's never come up.

No.

My friend is still married, though not to his first wife. I don't know if he was matched by the Unification Church, or if he and his wife chose each other. My understanding is that what people think of as "mass weddings" are really what the UC calls "group blessings" meant to remove them from sin. Most of the people that participate are already married, or are engaged and thereafter are married in their own way. The church opened its group blessings to people from other religions years ago, which caused quite a stir at the time.

My friend refers to True Father and True Mother and True Family often. He is very involved in the organization. That said, we are only social media friends due to knowing each other back in our school days. I haven't seen him in years and I have never asked him about his beliefs; I've just gleaned a bit from his posts. He mostly posts very positive, thoughtful, non-outlandish things that don't bother me at all (and about other things like tacos and his pets).
