    Re: Falun Gong: Evil Cult Invading United States

    From your link:

    Why do the extraterrestrial UFOs come and go from nowhere and fly so fast?
    Uh, because they're optical illusions?

    They are traveling in other dimensions; it is just so simple. If man tries to understand the unexplained phenomena in the universe from his own current scientific perspective or uses this method to study cultivation practice or religions, he will never get it in his research.
    Whereas, if he just makes stuff up, he'll have endless research findings!

    He has to change his way of thinking, and he must understand it from another perspective. In the history of man, science is not only today’s so-called empirical science that was discovered or invented by the Europeans.
    And the fact that europeans invented everything else at the exact same time is purely coincidental...
    This is not the only path; there are other paths as well.
    Like, for example, the path of living in the stone age because your understanding of the universe comes from stuff you just make up:

    "Hey look, that round-eye just found that cleaning wounds keeps you from dying of gangrene!"

    "Good for them. That's their path. Our path is to slowly dance the gangreen away"

    "Um, that cut on your finger smells and your arm is turning green"

    "I blame the aliens".

      "...P.S. the invisible Falon Gong god needs money. All you who complain about me buying a new car every time you donate....You're pathetic!"

      The Chinese culture, although the levels it involved were very high, yet because the people’s morality was no longer good, it had also been suppressed.
      So in ancient China technology was more advanced than today, thanks to the technology of just making stuff up? People had a higher standard of living in ancient China than we have in the modern West? So who destroyed all the traces of this technology? Was it the aliens?

      Therefore, it was not passed down, and this lowest form of science from the West was left to man instead.
      Curse this round-eye technology, due to which the majority of children don't die before age of 5! Where the majority of people die from obesity at 70 years of age, rather than dysentry as 3-year-olds.
      "How come all those Great Enlightened Beings and all those powerful masters aren’t doing anything about it?"
      "It" is suffering?

      In our universe there’s another law: if it’s about something you’re seeking or just want, nobody can stop you
      So when people suffer, it's their own fault? Then why are you whining to us about persecution - since you believe it's your own lack of cultivation that's persecuting you? We're a lot better off here in the West than people in China - doesn't that prove our "lowest science" is more "cultivated" than Falon Gong?

        Sounds like this Falon Gong-show is just the boxer rebellion all over again. The "harmonious fists" believed that steam engines had demons inside them, because they rejected the proven scientific principals of Intelligent Combustion of 6000-year-old coal causing Intelligent Boiling.

        Anyway, after they destroyed all the train tracks and telegraph wires along with the standard raping, murdering and torturing, us low westerners showed up, used our "lowest form" of machine guns and "lowest form" of high explosive to blast their "cultivated" fists into "cultivated" hamburger.

          FA LUN takes its defamatory actions towards China


          Today, I am writing this article, which I hope to be published else where, to make more oversea Chinese aware of the evil essence of FA LUN. Of course, I will also publish it on Chinatown Forum, hoping the little friends living in Canada since their childhood can keep far away from this organization.


          I can ensure all of you that everything below is the truth

          I was still in China 11 years ago. Then, one afternoon we were suddenly informed to watch a special program on TV throughout our school. FA LUN was affirmed to be an evil organization for the reason that it instigated its members never to go for medical treatment when they were sick. Instead, each were convinced that they were able to get through by doing FA LUN exercise. Its adherents fired themselves to show their determination to protect their exercise. I was greatly shocked when I first caught sight of it, but still I found it was a bit too far from me. After all, everyone beside me was well educated and never had I came across such a member. However, to my surprise, I was confronted with some, who got the same yellow skin and dark eyes as me, after 11 years when I stayed in Canada far away from China.
          Two weeks ago, Robert Dirk, a friend in Canada invited me to his home. He also said he had invited a QI GONG expert, which he claimed had a deep knowledge of QI GONG. Thus, I went along with a kind of curiosity. And that was more than I expected. The first sight of the so-called expert made me a bit uncomfortable. He had a very yellow face, and his hair didn't even have a beam of luster, so that I doubted weather he developed malnutrition. Robert had been in China for 3 months and showed a strong interest in the history of peasants' revolutions, which I thought might be because I often talked about some Chinese Idioms with him. And so we had a free talk, only to find he knew nothing about history. And still, I didn't doubt him, for people acquired knowledge at different time, and each had his own special field. Not until the so-called expert touched upon FA LUN did I knew that he was a member. Immediately, I began to refute him and asked him to leave. Robert did not know why I got so indignant. I explained that FA LUN did harm to a large number of people in China, and was banned later. Many of them fled abroad and act in collusion with the native organization that were hostile to China, denigrating China.
          Yet what worries me most is those international friends who do not know the truth such as Robert. They are crazy with Chinese cultures, yet have no better approaches (I suppose many of the present Chinatowns do not reveal the soul of Chinese cultures.). They cherish the longing for China but are more inclined to be misguided to wrong destination by some organizations with ulterior motives.
          Besides, I have received no less than 20 calls these two days, 3-5 of which came from the adherents of FA LUN, one accusing that I had destroyed their exercise and their master would punish me. If similar calls should come to me again, I will resort to police at once. However difficult it is, I shall never make any compromise to such an evil organization.

          Of course, I would like to know how their master LI, who's now enjoying a good life far in New York, can punish me.

              Re: Falun Gong: Evil Cult Invading United States

              It seems that you all are doing alot to defend you religion.
              To defend it from what? Falun Gong isn't a religion and it has nothing against christianity.
              Falun Gong practitioner are now under a terrible persecution: they're tortured, arrested, killed..every day!
              Every religion or movement is persecuted there, even christian people aren't safe, you probably know this.
              Don't trust the PCC lies! What's the difference between it and emperor Nerone?
              Where's the love for your neighbour? Where's christian tollerance?
              Zhen Shan Ren means Truth, Compassion and Tollerance and are the main values of Falun Dafa. There's something evil in this?
              Falun Dafa teaches people how to be good ones, and just aims to restore morality in the world ^^
              Defending your faith is good, but don't go to the extremes. Devils run away from the lights of Love and Compassion. So, don't hate
              We're all brothers, right?


              Blessings.
              Have a nice day

                Where does it say in the Holy Bible that a demon worshiper is my brother?

                Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

                And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

                  I'll say one thing for the gook, he knows (at least in china) how to treat the dissident demonologists like the falun chong. Normally I've no time at all for the slant eyed little yellow commies, but, hats off to you china.

                  Lev 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

                    Re: Falun Gong: Evil Cult Invading United States

                    Greetings,
                    Allow me as an American to explain Falun Gong and to dispel some hate speech posted on this blog.
                    I am an acupuncturist and herbalist. Some people call acupuncture an occult practice, but please consider that some cactus grow very long thin thorns and the indians used these thorns medically, just as the Chinese used needles. God made some cactus plants this way, so don't call it occult. There is a lot of science explaining acupuncture and the nervous system. Traditionally, acupuncture was only a part of natural healing to be used in conjunction with a healing diet and herbs. Think of it as very focused reflexology and you will see it is not occult.
                    Anyway, during acupuncture school, I was exposed to a lot of different qigong and tai chi systems. What made Falun Gong unique was that it stressed virtue, truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. It stressed orthodox moral excellence. Meanwhile, I found a lot of the other qigong systems stressed no or little moral ethics and even promoted questionable practices, which would take too long to explain here.
                    Through Falun Dafa, I gave up many things, like my exploration into the new age. Before Falun Dafa, I was involved in the new age and had gone to channelings, and learned occult healing, like Reiki. I gave all of that up, as the teacher explained about the demonic consequences that those things can bring oneself. The teacher (Li Hongzhi) explained why Jesus has the ability to save people, but the new age teachers and new religions don't have that ability. It was through Falun Dafa that I actually renewed my faith in Jesus and Christianity...through Li Hongzhi's teachings. My father was a christian minister but quit because his church was corrupt, so I was raised churchless and clueless. Falun Dafa brought me back to the salvation of Jesus Christ.
                    I have had so many miracles teach me the truth, and this was all possible through Falun Dafa.
                    So, let us look at the reality. My father was clobbered by Satan and his faith was shattered, so he let us grow up with no church. THe new age steps in and tries to adopt me. THen Falun Dafa steps in and saves me from that.
                    I believe that the Lord put Falun Dafa there to help the millions of people who were being led astray by very dark practices to come back to the light.
                    I cannot affirm or deny everything Li HOngzhi says, because I am not him. But I highly suggest that all of you do not focus on the stranger things he has said and focus on the bottom line.
                    If you care about my soul, then hear this soul tell you that Falun Dafa brought me back to CHrist. I was so entrenched in eastern mysticism that nothing but Li HOngzhi could snap me out of it. If you read Rick Ross' report, you will not understand what I am saying because he takes the most sensational things out of context and rewords them for his ends.
                    None of you need to practice or study Falun Dafa, now that you are saved, but you do need to get your minds right about not siding with the Chinese government, who made a public announcement in 1999 that they wanted to spread atheism en masse.
                    The people who practice Falun Gong want to be healthy and good people. THey are nice people with good hearts. There is no need to sling mud their way.
                    If you guys start randomly picking out sentences of the teacher, you will not understand what I am saying, because his message is holistically understood.
                    Just look at it like this: in China there were many kinds of qigong and taichi. Some of the teachers were atheists and some were very money hungry without good ethics. They were getting people to practice "energy healing". People were coming into contact with the invisible world and you all know the danger that this COULD bring. At this point, maybe some of these qigong practitioners would listen to Christians and completely get out of that. But most would not, and the reason is that qigong has the ability to heal illness and most people who practice have serious illlnesses or arthritis they need to heal. So, in steps Li Hongzhi who explains the relationship between virtuous moral conduct and thoughts and better healing results. People got amazing results with this protocol and the practice spread quickly before it got banned in China, due to its growing number (close to 100 million). He didn't forbid anyone from getting medical attention, and that is propaganda from the Communist Chinese government. They spread a lot of lies. Because of the amazing results with Falun Gong, millions of people in China followed Li Hongzhi's instruction closely and the main thing was to cultivate virtue.
                    It is because of Falun Dafa, that I know to follow the traditional bible and orthodox christianity and not some deviant christian sect.
                    A person can sit there and point out the negative things about anyone. But the better way is to focus on the positive.
                    I hope you all will extend more compassion to people who grew up under communism and had atheism stuffed down their throats from birth and have had to struggle to understand the truth.
                    Send love and compassion and prayers for these poor souls being tortured to death. I was arrested in Tiananmen Square for a "big" protest of having the words TRuthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance painted on a little cloth. The police said those words are illegal. That was the official reason for the arrest.
                    these people are under terrible oppression and now the government harvests their organs on demand.
                    It is not as simple as giving up the practice and embracing Taichi instead. IT is a business of justifying slave labor and organ harvesting by naming political and other dissidents. I have too many stories to share. People are often arrested there for not doing anything...the police may only have suspicions. Once arrested, a person goes through a show trial and off to a labor camp for easily a three year sentence.
                    THe communist chinese government is officially atheistic. Understand the enemy.
                    The last thing I will say is that in all my years, I have never once met a born again Christian who has tried to save me and I live in California. What are the odds? My father never tried to save me, because his faith was shaken. The heading of your post is that this is some evil thing invading the United States, but this is first thing that brought me closer to Christ and opened that door that was closed.
                    I would write more, but it's already too long.

                        Hello, and welcome to our friendly forums! Would you encourage us to eat poisonous mushrooms, chew a beating buffalo heart, get drunk on whiskey, and gamble all our money away until we are forced to sell our daughters to mexican drug lords and beg for food at Walmart parking lots like the injuns, too?

That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

                          Well, at least you got one thing right.

                          Instead of posting utter drivel try praising the Name of the Lord. He is the only thing standing between you and an eternity of pain and suffering in the arms of satan and his minions.

                          P.S. Why do you like chinamen? Are you one of those people who like people of the same genital order?
                          Isaiah 66:15

                          For behold, the Lord wil come with fire, and with his charets like a whirlewinde, to render his anger with furie, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

                            "The people who practice Falun Gong want to be healthy and good people. They are nice people with good hearts. There is no need to sling mud their way.
                            If you guys start randomly picking out sentences of the teacher, you will not understand what I am saying, because his message is holistically understood.
                            Just look at it like this: in China there were many kinds of Qigong and Taichi. Some of the teachers were atheists and some were very money hungry without good ethics. They were getting people to practice "energy healing". People were coming into contact with low-leveled beings from other Dimensions and you all know the danger that could bring. At this point, maybe some of these Qigong practitioners would listen to Christians and completely get out of that. But most would not, and the reason is that Qigong has the ability to heal illness and most people who practice have serious illnesses or arthritis they need to heal. So, in steps Li Hongzhi who explains the relationship between virtuous moral conduct and thoughts and better healing results. People got amazing results with this protocol and the practice spread quickly before it got banned in China, due to its growing number (close to 100 million).He didn't forbid anyone from getting medical attention, and that is propaganda from the Communist Chinese government. They spread a lot of lies. Because of the amazing results with Falun Gong, millions of people in China followed Li Hongzhi's instruction closely and the main thing was to cultivate virtue.
                            It is because of Falun Dafa, that I know to follow the traditional bible and orthodox Christianity and not some deviant christian sect.
                            A person can sit there and point out the negative things about anyone. But the better way is to focus on the positive. " -Peacebewithyou



                            Pay attention to what she said at the beginning.


                            You will never understand Falungong through the media I can tell you that.Falungong is a cultivation-way not a political group or Organization or some cult.

                              Hi. You seem to be under the impression that this website is here for you to spread your propaganda. It's not. It's for True Christian™ propaganda only, thanks.

                              So if you can justify any of your claims using Scripture from the King James Bible, please do so. Otherwise, .

                                Oh, I guess someone doesn't take hints.


                                How about NO?

                                No from me because I'm already familiar with it, and HECK NO from the True Christians™ because they already have enough delusional beliefs to last for several lifetimes.

                                Now, as I previously stated (and you quite rudely ignored), if you can justify any of your claims using Scripture from the King James Bible, please do so. If not, piss off. No one here is interested in your crap.

                                p.s. if you think I'm being rude or unfair, I'm not. You want to spread your message here? Put the Landover message up on your cult's website. That would be fair (and it's not going to happen, right?).

                                p.p.s. averting the inevitable "but I have free speech waaaah" stupidity: YOU DON'T (not here, at least). "Free speech" is a concept found in the United States Constitution (and sure as heck not the Bible). The Constitution delineates the powers and responsibilities of the government. As this is not a government website, nor receives any funding from said government, the Constitution DOES NOT APPLY HERE. Go give a lawyer lots of money to tell you the same thing, if you don't believe me.
