To all who are truly concerned.
The situation in PPRC is extremely volatile and dangerous. Christian churches who do not belong to TSPM (Three-Self Patriot Movement) and their leaders and elders have and are routinely persecuted, prosecuted, and suffer imprisonments and death sentences. TSPM is the official religious arm of the Chinese government whose aim is to bring all religious practices and church groups under its control. In order to accomplish this they label ANY group that calls on the name of the Lord as “Shouters” . It became a broad label to persecute anyone who does not comply. The justification to go after these beloved brothers and sisters as belonging to an “evil cult” was based on the defamatory and false accusatory book “The Godmen”. The judgement rendered against that book by US courts it’s author, and the publisher did not deter TSPM from using it to persecute genuine children of God. If they can tie anyone to the “evil cult” described in the book then it becomes a slam dunk verdict. Guilty. Imprisonments. Re-education camps. Death sentences. Sometimes death in prison as was the case with Watchman Nee. They also use aberrant groups like Eastern Lightning, to connect dots to advance their persecutions of believers in the Lord.
They also search the web to find support for their ideas.
Here’s the thing I find most disturbing. If you carefully step back and look at the situation carefully, consider the circumstances and the lives at risk, then I just don’t understand how anyone can be so indifferent, unaware, and inconsiderate to use the details of any actual persecution cases in China, or public statements made concerning them by church leaders, to advance their personal agenda in this forum. What meaningful benefit could possibly result especially to those dear precious suffering ones? Lord have mercy on your suffering little ones and those that assist in heaping suffering on them.
Aron, being so well informed on the subject you should already know that.
