My name is Zhang Renquan (张仁全). I live in the Jiantang Community, on Guli Street, in the Jiangning District of Nanjing City, situated in Jiangsu Province. I am a 72-year-old farmer who was brought up and lived in the countryside. My wife and myself worked hard to educate and bring-up our well-behaved and law-abiding children. Now, our children have already grown-up and married, started their own businesses – with our little granddaughter already going to primary school! When I was supposed to be a role-model and take-care of my own life and family, all I could do was stay at home in a sense of debilitated stupor unable to participate in any aspect of ordinary living! I let my wife, children and grandchildren down by getting involved with an evil ‘cult’ that nearly destroyed my life and ruined what should have been my content old age!
My wife and I are both responsible and respectable people, and the neighbours usually arrive unexpectantly at any time if they want help or want to offer help! A few years ago, life was very hard, as I had lumbar muscle strain, and my back hurt when I tried to work hard. In the beginning, I didn’t take it too seriously. When I could not do something, I called my son to come and help – but he already had a wife and family of his own and I was sorry for being a burden upon him!
Five years ago, several Anhui people came to our village and said they were spreading the foreign Christian ‘Bible Gospel! One day, they came to my house claiming to be ‘Preaching the Gospel’ and saying derogatory things about our country and our government (both of which had given us everything)! They then told me to rest whilst they helped clean our yard! They did all this within minutes of arriving – and we did not know who they were! The woman leading the group said her surname was ‘Yuan’ (袁), and that she had come to bring ‘the Will of the Saviour’ to our family. She said that this foreign God would keep us safe and healthy if only we joined-up with their organisation!
To be honest, we rural people are actually most afraid of being sick or of suffering accident or injury! Listening to the supposedly real-life examples of so many believers who we were told kept their families safe through joining this group – it all seemed too good to be true! This woman stared us straight in the eye when she spoke – and seeing so many of them busy in front of our house only added to this impression! This is how the ‘Lingling’ Sect operates as they unfold their treachery and deception very carefully – step by step! Once they cleared our yard – they did not ask for payment or even any drinks – all they asked for was for my family to join their group! This was the only payment they required! This is how I was enticed into the evil web weaved by the ‘Lingling’ Sect!
Two days later, they came back to my house and asked for myself and wife to go to their Church activities – which happened at night. My wife did not want to go because there was too much housework to do, so I went to the Church activities on my own. After seven o’clock in the evening, I walked with them for about three miles to a house in a neighbouring village. When I walked into this house, I found a room full of people, with a few others arriving after me. After being greeted by everyone, I was welcomed to join this large family which was under the protection of the ‘Saviour’ (救世主 – Jiu Shi Zhu), and then they asked me to ‘pray’ (祷告 – Dao Gao) or ‘Communing with the Divine’. All this was alien to me, but only later did I learn that this was called ‘Comprehending the Essence’ (悟性 – Wu Xing).
After ‘praying’ the group was then told about ‘Revelation’ (启示 – Qi Shi). The ‘Lingling’ Sect teaches that only through a complete obedience to the ‘Saviour’ can the maximum level of blessing be won by the worshipper and distributed around his or her family! Any form of disagreement or disbelief would diminish this blessing and even contribute toward the opposite of damage occurring to the individual family! The only way to keep the individuals and families ‘safe’ was to dedicate your ‘belief’ one hundred percent, and by giving everything you own to the ‘Church’! We were told that the whole of China must switch to this system for each family (and every individual) to be ‘safe’! This transformation would generate a new ‘Da Tong’ (大通) or ‘Unified Togetherness’! This ceremony then ended with ‘Spiritual Singing’ and ‘Spiritual Dancing’! I was then sent home and told that a great spiritual blessing would now be felt by myself and my family providing I stayed loyal and dedicated myself to this foreign ‘Saviour’!
After their repeated persuasion, I began to regularly participate in these activities, excessively praying to the ‘Saviour’ every day – to save us from the end of the world – and to keep us free of disease, and to keep our family safe! As the months passed, I gradually became addicted to this ritual, participating in the activities day and night nearly every day! Gradually, my wife comprehended my abnormal behaviour and attitudes and would not let me go out at night! But every time I disregarded her objections and went out to these ‘Lingling’ Sect activities. In the meantime, within the real world I used to have high blood pressure all the time. I went to Jiangning People’s Hospital for several visits, and the doctor told me to take medicine for a long time. Since I participated in these foreign Church activities – I believed in their anti-science nonsense and that I would be protected from all diseases, and so I stopped taking medicine! I only wanted to use my ‘religion’ and exchange my medicine for the protection of the ‘saviour”!
Six months went by and after waking up one morning, I suddenly felt numb throughout half my body and was unable to speak, so I struggled to get out of bed. My wife heard the noise I was making and quickly called my son – who got a car and took me to the hospital! The doctor diagnosed me with a cerebral thrombosis! After emergency treatment, I finally got my life back, but I suffered from hemiplegia. After being hospitalized for more than half a month, when I got home, I regretted what I had done by subjugating myself to the ‘Lingling’ Sect – so much so – that I didn’t want to live! Originally, I was a good person, but now I can only lie in bed half-paralyzed because I listened to a religiously superstitious cult and stopped taking my medicine! I am now a big become burden to my family and relatives!
Now, I just hope that my body can gradually recover, and that I can take care of itself, and that I will no longer be a burden to my family. It was the evil ‘Lingling’ Sect that destroyed me, and I listened to their nonsense, which eventually led to such evil results! I did not listen until it was too late, and there was no turning back. Talking about the pain caused by ‘Lingling’ Sect, the old man Zhang Renquan sheds tears of remorse! Learn from this story and do not make the same mistake!

“灵灵教”毁了我的幸福生活(图)
2019-04-15 09:46
我叫张仁全,家住江苏省南京市江宁区谷里街道箭塘社区,今年72岁。我是农村庄稼人,和我老伴勤劳耕耘,靠我们辛劳的耕作把一双子女慢慢拉扯长大。如今儿女都早已成家立业,小孙女都已经上小学了。原本应该颐养天年的时候,我却只能瘫痪在家,连累老伴儿女。都是万恶的灵灵教毁了我原本幸福的生活,也毁了我的安乐晚年。
我和老伴两人都是本分人,邻里平常要帮个忙啥的都是一喊就到。大概前些年太辛苦了,前几年开始我就得了腰肌劳损,活干重了腰就疼。开始,也没太当回事,干不动的时候就喊儿子回来弄,就是有些对不住儿子和老伴,感觉拖累他们了。五年前,几个安徽人来到我们村说是传播“《圣经》福音”的。一天,他们来到我家自称是上门“传福音”,一到我家就帮我们打扫院子。为首的妇女说她姓袁,是来给我们家带来“救世主的旨意的”,只要我们加入可以保全家平安健康。说实话,我们农村人其实最怕就是个病啊灾的,听着她讲的那么多信众保全家平安的活生生的例子,还说得有鼻子有眼儿的,再加上看她们几个人在我家忙前忙后的,连口水都顾不上喝的,看也不像坏人,我就同意有空去参加他们的“活动”。结果,我开始一步步陷入到灵灵教编织的邪网之中。
两天后,他们又来到我家约我们夫妻俩晚上去参加他们的教会活动,我老伴推说家务事情太多忙不过来,就让我一人跟他们去参加教会活动了。晚上七点多,我和他们一起走了有十来里路,走到邻村一户人家,走进去一看,坐满了一屋子人,后来陆续又来了几个。看人齐了后,他们就说欢迎我加入“救世主”庇佑下的大家庭,紧接着就让我学着他们“祷告”,“祷告”了一会儿有人突然高声讲起一通话,我听不懂他讲的什么意思,后来才知道这叫“悟性”。“祷告”完之后他们又开始给我们讲“启示”,说信徒只有完全听从“救世主”的安排才能保佑全家平安,一大通讲完之后大家又是唱”灵歌”又是跳”灵舞”的。活动结束之后,我被他们留下来,给我讲了好一通“救世主”的伟大,说“救世主”可以保佑我百病不侵,全家平安。
经过他们这么反复的劝说,我开始经常参加他们的活动,从每天祷告祈祷“救世主”保佑我们远离世界末日,保佑我们远离疾病,保佑我们全家平安。几个月过去了,我渐渐沉迷其中,每天昼伏夜出的参加他们的活动。渐渐的老伴儿也感觉到了我的反常,晚上就不让我出门。可是每次我都不顾她的反对跑出去参加他们的活动。我以前一直有点高血压,去江宁人民医院看过几次,医生叮嘱要长期服药。自从参加他们教会活动之后,信了他们入教可以保佑我百病不侵的鬼话,我开始不再吃药,一门心思就想通过我的“虔诚”换来“救世主”对我的“庇护”。
这样又过了半年,一天睡醒后,我突然感觉自己半身麻木,说不出话来,我就挣扎着翻下床。老伴听见动静看到我这个样子,赶紧叫来儿子,弄了辆车把我送到医院。经医生诊断,我是脑血栓发作。经过紧急治疗,总算捡回条命,可是却落下了半身不遂的毛病。住院半个多月后,回到家里,我就悔得不想活了!原本好好的一个人,如今只能躺在床上,成为亲人的大累赘。
现在,我只希望我的身体能够渐渐康复起来,生活能够自理,不再成为家里的负担。都是万恶的灵灵教毁了我,我听信他们的鬼话,最终酿成了这样的恶果。可是一切都晚了,回不了头了。
