The full name of the cult organization "Blood, Water and Spirit" is "Jesus Christ Blood, Water and Spirit Complete Gospel Mission", also known as "The Holy Spirit Rebuilding the Church". The cult leader Zuo Kun proclaimed himself a "god" and had a "smiling face of a Buddha." This 86-year-old man, who claims to hold 300,000 believers in his territory, has a private plane and a long Hummer car to pick him up, and is called a cult figure with good "wealth" and "color".
If it were not for the arrest and arrest of a number of middle- and high-level leaders, including the "governors of the three provinces," and the secret-related information of more than 10 years in the hands of the police, Zuo Kun's cult empire might still be growing rapidly.
"God Man" Zuo Kun
Actively infiltrate and develop organizations in the territory, and believers range from the elderly to two- and three-year-old children
Zuo Kunnian was old and faltering, with a close guard in front of him and behind him, and he wanted to make the "blood, water and spirit" into a "spiritual Olympic" in his lifetime.
Zuo Kun, the leader of the "Blood, Water and Spirit"
After the massacre of innocent people by the "Almighty God" cultists in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province in May 2014, the "Blood, Water and Spirit" was clearly identified by the China Anti-Cult Association as one of the 11 active cults in China.
According to a People's Daily report, at the beginning of the establishment of the "Blood, Water, and Spirit," the Taiwan authorities held that it had cult tendencies and squeezed it. In order to escape the crackdown, Zuo Kun immigrated to the United States from Taiwan. In recent years, the sect has actively infiltrated and developed organizations in the territory, and frantically collected wealth from believers, and Zuo Kun is a figure with good "wealth" and "color".
Headquartered in Taiwan, the "Blood, Water and Spirit" is divided into four levels of special zones, districts, communities and churches, and there are currently 10 special zones. At the beginning of 2014, there were 613 churches in Jiangxi's "special zone", and Zuo Kun asked the backbone of churches across the country to learn from the "Jiangxi experience" and put forward the goal of developing 10,000 churches. At the end of last year, he publicly declared that there were 7,000 churches, more than 300,000 believers in the country, and 800,000 believers in the world.
Zuo Kun is called "Father" by the believers and is regarded as a god. In 2008, Zuo Kun told believers around the world about his "experience of dying" three times. He said that when he died for the third time, he was sent to the world's most advanced MRI examiner, and as soon as the machine was turned on, all the scissors, kitchen knives, and iron in the room were sucked up, because his heart had no valves, and his blood vessels were stented and there was metal on his body.
Malaysia Airlines crash, Kunming riots, Kaohsiung bombings, Canadian parliamentary shootings, war in eastern Ukraine... Zuo Kun also gave an example to the "Blood, Water and Spirit" sect that these are the precursors before the great calamity comes, the end of the world is coming, and only the "Blood, Water and Spirit" believers can spend it peacefully and can "enter the kingdom of God" with him - "My life is from God, and I will not die." ”
Church expansion
Most of the people in the church are over 50 years old, and their academic qualifications are generally lower than those of high school
Gao Qiang, a 28-year-old Boy from Shandong, who served as the leader of the "Blood, Water and Spirit" in Shanxi, Hebei and Henan provinces, was selected as a backbone to visit the apostle Zuo Kun in Taiwan and 22 countries around the world last year.
In May 2013, he returned to The Christian Church in Texas to meet, after the meeting, he met Sister Chen of the "blood, water and spirit", and after in-depth exchanges, the other party asked him if he was willing to do God's work, trapped in no better work, he agreed, and then was recommended to Jinan, Shandong Province, for full-time missionary work.
Gao Qiang said that he had tried to talk to his mother about the Bible, hoping to instill the idea of "blood, water and spirit" in her, but her mother did not believe in it, and her father and sister did not even believe in Christianity. However, in the list of members of the Huayang Church in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, established by the "Blood, Water and Spirit" on March 9, 2014, some families have joined the church.
It is understood that most of the people over the age of 50 in the church, the education is generally lower than the high school level.
Teenage Believers
"Blood, Water and Spirit" Shandong Special Zone 30% of young people among new development church personnel in 2014
Shockingly, among the newly admitted members of the church, there are 7-year-old children who have just entered elementary school and 14-year-old students who are entering junior high school. At the special thanksgiving party celebrating Zuo Kun's 86th birthday in the Shandong Special Administrative Region, a student-like host said, "Grandpa Zuo is an ancient person who has never come before, a woman of the East, and a prophet of all countries." ”
Some preschool educators also said to two- and three-year-old children: "Save the soul and take care of all of us, pray and pray zuo Kun like a Allah, and pray before meals." ”
The police told reporters that Zuo Kun had pointed out for the development of young believers that it is necessary to think from a distance and cultivate from a close distance, take colleges and middle school groups as a key development force, and use kindergarten teachers to continuously instill theories in young children and cultivate reserve forces.
College students participate in cult activities
In 2014, the Inner Mongolia police found at a gathering of "blood, water and spirit" that the gatherers were all children who were still childish, most of them primary and secondary school students. The "Blood, Water and Spirit" pays special attention to "evangelizing" students in colleges and universities, using song and dance festivals, tourist meals, etc. to lure teenagers to join, and also "pulling marriage matches" for young believers and funding weddings.
The police revealed to reporters that among the personnel of the "blood, water and spirit" Shandong Special Zone in 2014, the proportion of teenagers was as high as 30%, and the youngest believer was 9 years old. The first deputy leader is 28 years old, and the general leader of Henan District is only 19 years old.
The rules in the cult are to sign agreements and turn in monthly salaries
Missionary work begins with talking to strangers, asking if they understand the Bible, whether they believe in Jesus, first exchanging the Bible, and then inviting a meeting. Then slowly use the New Testament in chapter 9 of the Bible to see Paul's vision and talk about God's sending of the apostles, and gradually let them accept that the apostle is "Father" Zuo Kun.
Church personnel also sign an "affidavit" promising to come out voluntarily and accept the transfer. In addition, the return home must be approved, can not casually talk to family, relatives, friends, classmates, colleagues, telephone calls must be approved by the church, mobile phones can not be used privately, can be dedicated to "dad" or handed over for safekeeping. In addition to evangelism on weekdays, it is necessary to do logistics, and regularly dedicate money to honor "dad" every month.
In 2013, Zuo Kun handed over the logistics system to his son Zuo De'en, and in order to expand the source of income, they used the money paid by the believers every month to establish a chain of coffee, fast food, cake and other business entities.
But profit-making believers don't get a cent.
In 2014, the "Blood, Water and Spirit" was at its peak, gathering the backbone of the global congregation to participate in the summer special meeting in Taiwan
The geometry of Zuo Kun's wealth is unknown. But the police told reporters that Zuo Kun has three luxury motorcycles worth more than 300,000 yuan, the market value of wearing watches is more than 200,000 yuan, and the decorations worn with him are worth more than 100,000 yuan. "Do not sit in and out of non-high-end cars, stay in five-star hotels or above all year round, take a private plane during the period of going to the United States, and travel with an extended Hummer car."
The police pointed out that the "blood, water and spirit" has been in the past two years, and in 2014, it was a great moment to gather the backbone of the global congregation to participate in the summer special meeting in Taiwan. Believers are found in 22 countries.
Gao Qiang said that the cult's perverse reasoning was demagogic, and all the money earned from the early and greedy business was dedicated to Zuo Kun.
At the end of 2014, Gao Qiang was told to take over the Henan area from January 2015. Unexpectedly, he was arrested at a party passing through Zhengzhou, Henan Province, on January 6, along with Zhao Jiming.
The police revealed that the reactionary books assigned by Zuo Kun were found at the party. According to China's current Constitution, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure Law, Public Security Administration Punishment Law and other series of laws, this book lists detailed measures and means for how to exploit legal loopholes and how to deal with blows.
According to reports, on August 31, 2011, the Tongzhou Court of Beijing Municipality held a hearing on the case of the "blood, water and spirit" led by the Beijing Special Administrative Region and others. The day before the trial, Zuo Kun issued an open letter to domestic believers, asking domestic believers to publicly condemn the government's persecution of religion.
The emperor's dream of the cult leader Zuo Kun
According to internal information from the backbone of the "Blood, Water and Spirit", Zuo Kun once used the experience of church people being arrested and released in 2013 to teach the experience of fighting guerrilla warfare with the police and making the other side exhausted. "If a sheep enters a wolf pack, it is better to be like a snake and tame like a pigeon, to attract the attention of the police on the grounds of investment and business, and then to turn around one hundred and eighty degrees to go to the countryside of Jiangxi to preach, and when the police find out, they will evacuate the local area, posing as entrepreneurs and bosses, and talking about investment and business."
Gao Qiang said that Zuo Kun's cult's perverse reasoning has deceived people's hearts, making many believers willing to dedicate their time and money, and their contributions to the church even exceed their contributions to the family, society, and the country. In addition to providing for himself and his family, the money earned by running a business in the early days was all dedicated to Zuo Kun, "The cult has cheated our family, cheated our money, and cheated our tomorrow, and we should resolutely oppose the cult and reject the cult." ”
