I have no feelings one way or another about Falun Gong other than that there's something disturbingly cultish about its members, as the responses above so aptly demonstrate.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-73413861290969652342014-01-16T05:20:07.601-08:002014-01-16T05:20:07.601-08:00FUNNY, I SAW THE SHOW LAST YEAR AND REALLY LIKED I...FUNNY, I SAW THE SHOW LAST YEAR AND REALLY LIKED IT. MY KIDS LOVED IT! I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY PROSELYTIZING AT ALL. NO ONE CAME UP TO ME TO JOIN FALUN GONG. THE SHOW ITSELF WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.<br /><br /> SOME SKITS DID USE FALUN GONG AS A BACKDROP, AND THE MESSAGES WERE QUITE POWERFUL AND POSITIVE. <br /><br />AS FOR FALUN GONG, FROM ALL THE YEARS OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT BEING BRANDED THE #1 HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSER IN THE WORLD AND KILLING THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND TRYING TO HIDE IT UP BY USING "POLITICS," OR "SEPARATISM", OR "CULT" AS THEIR EXCUSE, I BELIEVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEY SAY. <br /><br />AMERICANS SHOULD NOT BE SO GULLIBLE OR MANIPULATED TO HATE SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE THE COMMUNIST REGIME SAYS THEY ARE BAD. <br />JOHN.

The analogy is completely inaccurate and untrue.<br /><br />What's so strange about middle-aged Chinese Americans handing out flyers? Of course they will have security people near the performers, and I'm sure the number of them was far less than Katy Perry or other celebrities usually use.<br /><br />It's also incorrect to call Falun Gong a sect. It's neither related to religion, nor a structured organisation with leaders, membership or compulsory activities - everything's voluntarily organised, free for all to participate in and free of charge.<br /><br />You really need to get your facts straight: <a href="http://www.faluninfo.net" rel="nofollow">www.faluninfo.net</a>Richiestreasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16607297608599246288noreply@blogger.com
