"Almighty God", also known as "Eastern Lightning", "Seven Spirits", "Female Christianity" and "Actual God", was founded in 1989 by Zhao Weishan, the backbone of the "Shouting Sect", and is a variant organization of the Protestant local church movement.
In the name of Christianity, this sect deified the "female Christ" packaged by Zhao Weishan, secretly established a strict organizational system, created and spread fallacies and heresies, exercised strict spiritual control, squeezed out the money of its members in the name of "donations", and used lies and deception, threats of violence, money bribery, and pornographic inducements to attract people to "join the Church." This series of characteristics is completely in line with the definition of a cult organization in the relevant laws of the mainland, and it is sufficient to prove that the "Almighty God" is an out-and-out cult organization.
"Almighty God"'s weird brainwashing
1
Create an atmosphere of "warmth and mutual assistance", and find ways to attract people to the church. "Almighty God" internally calls pulling people "into the Church" as "evangelism" and "paving the way for the bottom line." Zhao Weishan once nakedly proposed: "It is worth paying any price to win souls, this is the principle of evangelism." For this reason, the members of "Almighty God" have been deceived and deceived and have done everything. They often take advantage of the fact that the masses do not know much about Christianity, first making the absorbed members think that they believe in Christianity, and then gradually changing concepts to induce believers to accept "Almighty God." They also often used props such as glow sticks, cloaks made of white cloth, and pre-written stones to display various "miracles," and specially compiled pamphlets such as "Detailed Rules for Paving the Way," "Principles of Evangelism," and "Planning and Implementation of the Expansion of the Gospel in the Kingdom" to guide members in "preaching."
The basic principles of pulling people in the doctrine of "Almighty God" are: "Insiders lead the way, pull relationships, make friends, love and influence, establish feelings, and grind hard and hard." In the process of attracting people to the church, they especially like to win over their close family members, relatives, neighbors, colleagues, friends, etc.

"Almighty God" gathers "eating and drinking myths" to exercise mind control. The "myth of eating and drinking" of "Almighty God" is actually to learn the doctrine of "Almighty God" and use "doom", "witness", "retribution" and other expressions to exert spiritual control on believers, and tightly bind believers to "Almighty God". He declared that those who believe will be blessed, and those who do not believe will be punished, and that only by believing in the "goddess" can they be kept safe and become overcomers in the "age of the kingdom." In "Several Things That Must Be Conveyed in the Event of an Environmental Accident", he also threatened: "Whoever betrays his brothers and sisters and betrays the church will be dealt with as Judas, and if he betrays the church and becomes Judas, he will be excommunicated forever and completely destroyed." ”

The cult is tightly organized and hierarchical, and a special person is responsible for brainwashing. "Almighty God" is hierarchical and well-organized, the highest authority is the "female Christ", the main job is only to speak, and the "high priest" Zhao Weishan is the real ruler. Under the "high priest", there are "leaders of various departments", and their positions are divided into leading newcomers, leading small platoons, church leaders, community leaders, and district clerks from low to high.

The cult preaches the "end of the world" to create psychological panic and take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate wealth. The more "Almighty God" asks believers to "give", the more "grace" they receive, the more money they "give", "they can survive the last days," and the more money they give, the closer they are to God, and "those who do too little or fail to do their part will be punished as they deserve." ”
