In 1996, Shuyang, Jiangsu Province.
A 31-year-old mother, after believing in religion, has been nagging all day long. One night, when she found that the cross and diary sent by the "preacher" were missing, she thought she was guilty and that the things would be taken back by the gods.
At this time, she remembered what the "Divine Book" said: Only by offering "precious blood" to "Almighty God" can we wash away the sins in her body and save the world. "Obey God to death, let God lead and let God kill like a lamb..."
So the mother slashed the head of her 8-year-old son with an axe and nailed her baby to the cross— the last nail, nailed to the door of her son's head.
What she believes in is the "Almighty God" religion that has been boiling over the past few days.
His followers, on the other hand, were mainly middle-aged and lower-middle-aged Women in China.
The killing of the Son, in doctrine, is called "to make offerings."
In 2012, a mother who worked on the assembly line of a factory in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, was pulled into the education by a co-worker. After the husband found out that his wife was nagging, he found out the truth, and the husband and wife have been arguing since then. The wife, who is completely obsessed, even shouts, "Even if I divorce you, I will believe it!" ”
In 2016, four years after the religious belief, after a fierce quarrel, the wife left her sick mother and two young daughters to run away from home, and the world evaporated. Up to now, the husband is still looking for the whereabouts of his wife, and there is no news.
Across the country, there are thousands of such families. To let believers leave home and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the cult is called "doing their duty" in the doctrine.
In this way, one of the cult's "classics," "Words Appear in the Flesh," incites believers in this way:
Cult official website
"If you have love, you will be willing to give, you will be willing to suffer, you will be in harmony with me, you will give up everything you have for me, you will give up your family, your future, your youth, your marriage, otherwise your love will not be love but deception, betrayal!" 」

In addition to the six relatives who did not recognize it, the "Almighty God" sect was also extremely violent, and in order to attract people to the religion, there were many murders with another cult organization, the "Three Classes of Servants" in order to "rob sheep (compete for believers)".
For those who did not want to join the church, there were bloody cases of breaking limbs and cutting off ears. The body of a primary school student who also killed the children of those who wanted to leave the religion was found in 2010 because his mother wanted to leave the church. In the doctrine, it is natural for believers to kill their sons and sacrifice gods, to kill their wives to be "born again", and to commit suicide to give thanks.
The May 28 Zhaoyuan murder case occurred in 2014, when six believers beat to death a strange woman who was also eating in a McDonald's in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province.
Amazingly, of the six prisoners, only one was a man!
Can you imagine how vicious a woman looks?
On that day, when the six believers were eating in the restaurant, one by one they asked customers for phone calls in order to develop the believers. Wu Shuoyan, the 6-year-old baby's mother and 35-year-old female victim, did not give, and the second time she went up to ask for it, she still did not give. So the believers were furious and identified her as an "evil spirit", and one female believer smashed the chair at Wu Shuoyan, and then the male believers and four other female believers rushed to punch and kick.
One of the young female believers (pictured above) held the table in her hand, repeatedly jumped up and stomped on Wu Shuoyan's face, and then the middle-aged male believer picked up a mop and slammed the other person's face continuously until the mop broke. Still not relieved, he slammed his foot on his face.
The victim died on the spot from head injury. This vicious man and woman were sentenced to death.
What is even more terrifying is that the two people who were executed are a father and daughter. Several others were also family members. After the verdict the daughter said:
She is not a victim, she is an "evil spirit". I am God Himself. I can distinguish between "evil spirits" and human souls. The death penalty is imposed, but we will not die.
Since there is violence, of course there is sex.
In order to attract people to the church, "Almighty God" also uses a means called "sexual fellowship" to require female believers to use hue to lure people into the church. The male backbone is in the name of joining the "god" and "crossing the spirit bed", you know.
Violence and sex are coming, and of course there is another clichéd cult attribute – crazy money-making.
Born in 1951, Zhao Weishan was a railway worker, and later worked as a handyman in printing plants, starch factories, pharmaceutical factories, etc.

At the age of 40, this person joined the cult "Shouting Faction" that had infiltrated from abroad at that time, and the cult talent of "demagogy" was suddenly ignited and quickly became a backbone.
Like doing business, when you touch the doorway, you go it alone. Around 1990, with a group of members, he split off from the "Shouting Sect" and established the "Yongyuan Church". He called himself "the living Christ of the Incarnation," became the Head of God, and walked to the "altar." After a rectification, the new cult entered the 2.0 stage, the "Almighty God" stage.
Zhao Sect Master abandoned his wife, who had been married for more than ten years to help him develop and grow. He had a baby with Yang Xiangbin, a believer 22 years younger than himself. Then he also packaged the woman as the soul of the cult, the "female Christ".
"Female Christ" Yang Xiangbin
He also compiled cult books such as "Words Appear in the Flesh," "Lightning From the East," and "Almighty God You Are So Good, to lay the theoretical foundation."
In 2000, Zhao Weishan and Yang Xiangbin and their son absconded to the United States.
Like all cults, brainwashed believers give up their families and give up all their possessions to "dedicate" to the cult. "Words Appear in the Flesh" says,
"For the coming of this day (the end), we will spend everything at all costs. Some people quit their jobs, some people abandoned their families, some people gave up marriages, and some even donated all their savings. It is said that doing so is selfless devotion, in order to receive the grace of "God."

Cults, like pyramid schemes, live in groups, the headquarters does not bear the expenses, all expenses are taken care of by the small leaders, and the living and eating can be imagined. A small boss could not feed so many people with his 1200 pension, so he went to the market to pick up leftovers.
Because she can make videos, the way a girl "does her duty" for the "Almighty God" cult is to hide in the stronghold and make propaganda videos day and night. "I only sleep two or three hours a day, lie down for half an hour when I'm tired, get up and do it."
Working day and night in this way will not be rewarded. Even the computer was bought by her parents before she ran away from home by cheating her parents for nearly 10,000 yuan
A policeman sighed: This is like a "sweatshop" that has no cost and cruelly exploits workers!
Through restraint and brainwashing, believers are indoctrinated with the idea that everything belongs to "Almighty God" and that possessions are only available to "goddesses" and priests.
So how rich is the "God" family?
Taking the "Northeast Pastoral Area" that was knocked out by the police as an example, from November 2016 to March 2017, 140 million yuan was transferred abroad in five months. The "Gods" family lived a life of poverty and luxury in the United States, buying luxury properties everywhere.
After reading the total number of zeros and zeros of this cult, it is really shocking, the crackdown on FLG has only slightly improved, how can a cult with such a strong momentum emerge - the believers claim to be millions!
It is even more difficult to investigate, just the cult officially defined by the state, there are the Shouting Sect, the Disciple Society, the All-Encompassing Church, the Spirit Cult, the New Testament Church, the Main God Sect, the Guanyin Dharma, the King, the Same Religion... I can't count them.
What is the essence of a cult? I'm sure you agree with my analogy – primitive + grassroots MLM!
Therefore, with regard to cults, we must keep a sober mind, and we must do the following: First, we must break away from superstitious thinking and establish a correct outlook on life and death; Second, we must strengthen our confidence in life and correctly solve life problems; The third is to establish the idea of getting rich through science and technology, and create a better life through their own hands; The fourth is to consciously enhance the awareness and ability to guard against cults and resolutely struggle against cults. I believe that as long as we can do these things, we will be able to resist cults and create a better life (source: Sohu.com).
