The Church of God believes that earthly families are fake and that those who belong to the church are the real family. It also teaches that its leaders, Ahnsahnghong and Gil-ja Chang, are the True Parents. As a result, brainwashed members believe that the parents who gave birth to and raised them are fake, and instead of listening to their parents, they listen to the church and its members and run away or get divorced. Below is a video of a female member who turned her back on her parents and ran away with the church members.

[Tense moment as runaway daughter tries to get in car with church members and drive away...]

Runaway Churchgoer: Mom, are you really going to kill me?

Mom: Let's go home!!! No, what the hell do you believe, do you believe these people more than your parents, how brainwashed do you have to be to follow these people?
