| Church of Almighty God |
On November 20–21, 2017, in just two days, seventeen reports attacking The Church of Almighty God (CAG) were published intensively on Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, the mouthpiece media of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Hong Kong (HK), citing the rumors and fallacies consistently fabricated by the CCP to discredit and condemn the CAG. The reports, by quoting a few pastors’ personal comments, denied the Christian identity of the members of the CAG, and accused them of “stealing sheep,” which caused the loss of believers of other religious groups.Upon this, Prof. Massimo Introvigne, an Italian sociologist, the founder and managing director of the Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR), makes comments as follows.
Since it took power in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party has been carrying out atheistic education throughout the country. Christianity has been designated as a tool of imperial “cultural invasion,” with Western missionaries expelled and Chinese preachers subjected to “thought reform.” All religions, including Christianity, have been regarded as “feudal superstition” and suffered severe suppression and banning. Over the past more than sixty years, The Chinese Communist Party has never ceased its persecution of religious beliefs; instead, it has step by step “legitimized” its crackdown and persecution of Christianity through legislation, and The Church of Almighty God suffered the most serious suppression. Since The Church of Almighty God was established in 1991, the CCP government has held numerous emergency meetings and drawn up and issued many secret documents.It has made use of television, radio, newspaper, and internet media to start libelous rumors and false accusations; it has defamed The Church of Almighty God, and has manufactured public opinion in order to confuse and deceive the populace; and it has conducted nationwide arrests of The Christians of The Church of Almighty God.
The CCP has not only frenziedly persecuted The Church of Almighty God in mainland China, but stretched out its evil hands overseas time after time. In early November of 2017, the CCP utilized some people in South Korea sympathetic to the party to post articles online to attack The Church of Almighty God. From November 20 to 21, Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, two Hong Kong-based mouthpieces for the CCP, published seventeen reports in succession against The Church of Almighty God. These reports centered around the rumors and fake news that had been sensationalized by the CCP for years. Immediately following, some media outlets in Taiwan republished four of those reports. In the short period of two days, twenty-one reports were published in Hong Kong and Taiwan to attack and discredit The Church of Almighty God, a practice rarely seen in Hong Kong and other democratic countries and regions. On November 28, nine international NGOs issued a joint statement condemning the CCP’s persecution of The Church of Almighty God ，They particularly urged media outlets to be cautious and not to repeat the fake news spread by the Chinese regime.
Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty God was created because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of the Lord Jesus, Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God personally and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.
