A WARNING TO ALL STUDENTS AND FACULTY AT BOSTON UNIVERSITY

Falun Dafa, more commonly known as Falun Gong, is recruiting on your Boston University (BU) campus. The group, which has been called a “cult” by many cult experts, has weekly meetings attached to the Marsh Chapel at BU.

The Falun Dafa Club announced at the BU website that it wants to teach “exercises,” but the group will also “study spiritual teachings.” http://ow.ly/SpDD308qKpq

The authoritarian leader of Falun Dafa is Li Hongzhi, known to his disciples as “Master Li.” Purportedly imbued with divine authority Li supposedly knows “the top secret of the universe.” He says, “No religion can save people” only the “almighty Fa,” which Li exclusively represents.

Li Hongzhi’s teaches his followers that only he can install an invisible spinning “falun,” which is a mystical “wheel of law” within their abdomens telekinetically. This is the key to salvation, and the basis for incredible health claims, such as a cure for diabetes and the ability to reverse aging.

Falun Dafa practitioners believe that whatever Li Hongzhi says is right is right and whatever he says is wrong is wrong. Master Li’s authority is absolute.

Li has said that “mixed-race people [are] instruments of an alien plot to destroy humanity’s link to heaven.” And that interracial unions are somehow part of “a plot by evil extraterrestrials.”

Li has also claimed that a “black substance” accumulates in the body due to homosexuality, which causes bad health. He labeled the LGBT community “disgusting,” and stated one day the LGBT community will be “eliminated” by “the gods.”

FROM A LETTER WE RECEIVED...

Mr. Stern,

You were kind enough to speak with me almost 2 years ago. I haven't yet been able to regain contact with my daughter, but I keep trying, and I keep learning. I also touch base at your Facebook page from time to time.

I read a book this past weekend that may be helpful to some of the families with whom you come in contact, especially those dealing with one-on-one cultic relationships. The author seems to do a good job providing insight into how the manipulator confuses his or her victim.

The book is "Lunch with a Sociopath" by Lucie Pawlak. All proceeds benefit Wellspring. The Kindle version is very affordable--$2.99 on Amazon. Perhaps that will help someone, though you may already know this book.

Keep up the good work you are doing, keep me on your mailing list, and thank you for just being you.

Best,

[Name Removed]

Dear Supporters,

Due to our year-end donation efforts, we are able to investigate a disturbing case alleging physical and sexual child abuse within a cult. This is our first case for 2017 and we thank you for making it possible.

Excerpt from the filed complaint: “My 7 year-old son said he will tell what [name removed] has done to him, including being punched in the face and whipped. He [the pastor] was also having sex in front of a 13-year-old boy that he brought into his bedroom and also watched as the boy played with himself, which is sexual child abuse.”

We will inform you of any developments with this case. Thank you again for all your support.
