I was formerly a preacher of the “Praise Church.” Since May 1999, I
had often heard the elders say, “The ‘Eastern Lightning’ is a cult.
Those people are together committing adultery. If you don’t obey them,
they will cut off your ears, gouge out your eyes, or even cut your flesh
into pieces. They will also trick you into going somewhere outside the
town and shut you into a basement… These people are very crafty. They
specially go to deceive people in various churches. If any stranger
comes to our church, we must inspect him and verify his identity. If
there is any flaw in it, he must be from the ‘Eastern Lightning.’ Then
drive him away immediately…” So, I kept the elders’ “good words” in mind
and went around telling the brothers and sisters not to accept the
“Eastern Lightning,” and I also told them that it was the deception of
Satan. When I myself met the preachers of the “Eastern Lightning,” I
refused them all relentlessly, and I even told the brothers and sisters
in what harsh ways I treated those preachers and how I drove them away
so that they could learn from me. I, being so foolish, did many things
resisting Almighty God. In the end, it was under Almighty God’s
enlightenment and illumination that I woke up.
