First post sharing my new article 'Leaving Falun Gong'. A much deeper, raw and insightful journey than I originally anticipated and so very glad I was able to do this @londonrob100/leaving-falun-gong-cae5033fd29a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@londonrob100/…

“I was tired of paying my therapist to teach her about cults.” Laura spent 13 years in a cult… and 11 years being misunderstood by the mental health system. Misdiagnosed, stigmatized, re-traumatized. It wasn’t until she received cult-informed support that things began to change. She was finally able to put words to her experiences, understand what had happened to her, and begin to heal. Leaving a cult is not just “moving on.” It’s disorientation, grief, identity confusion, loss of community, belief systems, and sometimes entire families. And for many survivors, therapy can unknowingly create unhealthy dynamics that they’re trying to recover from. That’s why this matters. These aren’t just insights for therapists, they’re validation for survivors who felt unseen, misunderstood, or blamed! If you’ve ever felt like your experience wasn’t fully understood, or you’re a clinician who wants to do better, the full breakdown goes much deeper.

Well, @PetrSvab I can tell you I'm not a CCP agent, neither are @Rob__Gray__ or @Oceansdeep46 or @chengxiannew or @happy202410 or even the much-maligned Yu Chao - despite what your "leaked documents" (have you even verified where they're from?) say ntd.com/ntdplus/leaked…

@kohauy149889 @PetrSvab @Oceansdeep46 @chengxiannew @happy202410 @NTDPlus_ @PetrSvab if you want to have a discussion about Falun Gong and people's reactions don't you think you should highlight it is a Falun Gong practitioner talking to another practitioner on a media run by practitioners (who are trying to save the world from the apocalypse)

@kohauy149889 @PetrSvab @Oceansdeep46 @chengxiannew @happy202410 I wonder if @EpochTimes @NTDPlus_ and @PetrSvab would like to comment on the number of Falun Gong employees who broke New York and US Visa immigration laws to work there? @PetrSvab remember I used to be in the same office as you! Is that in your report? Why?

@tibet20080314 He will change his birthday next! Suddenly he will also be born on 05/13 🤣

这个是李洪志外甥孙宝圆，现在改姓李。李洪志死后，他可能继承法轮功衣钵。

Another dangerous and irresponsible Minghui article - exclaiming that reading Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Gong, can heal disabled people! Stories like this are dangerous and encourage infatuation and distrust of conventional medicine #banminghui en.minghui.org/html/articles/…

ET is implying that media like NYT and CBS are influenced by "CCP talking points" when in reality both outlets spoke to many former Falun Gong followers to produce their pieces. That's what's going on: journalism. Truth. Which FG no longer cares about.

@EpochTimesChina Where is the outrage?

Shen Yun’s Toronto shows were cancelled after a fake bomb threat, which organizers say is linked to the CCP, sparking outrage over foreign interference in Canadian arts and culture. Link in thread.

@Jefflee8084Lee @YouTube So this was nothing to do with terrible ticket sales and a growing awareness that Falun Gong and Shen Yun are cult led by Li Hongzhi and his apocalyptic teachings???

Shen Yun Presenters Hold Press Conference on Cancellation of Performance... youtu.be/Rl8SIQ2qAmM?si… via @YouTube

@chengxiannew @MrPotat55143669 Yep, there was a real world example, in Ireland, many years ago where the Chinese consulate tried to warn people not to see Shen Yun and this was covered in the media. The result was high ticket sales - it feels like someone is trying to replicate that, around the world

@Rob__Gray__ @MrPotat55143669 At this rate, the more their ticket sales tank, the more “bomb threats” they seem to run into—the real explosive issue is the box office.

The more I find out about the 'alleged Shen Yun bomb threats' the more questions I have... something doesn't make sense! It seems like an attempt to garner publicity, crying about victimisation - the Toronto shows sales were diabolical before being cancelled - smells fishy 🐟

@MrPotat55143669 @Oceansdeep46 @zhufo19571201 🤣🤣

@Rob__Gray__ @Oceansdeep46 @zhufo19571201 Like this?

How to say you're in a cult without saying you're in a cult lol - Shen Yun performers gather for a propaganda feast attempting to depict a one sided narrative that helps promote Falun Gong's apocalyptic ideology, extreme teachings and dangerous practices

@Oceansdeep46 @zhufo19571201 Especially the ladies outfits lol

@Rob__Gray__ @zhufo19571201 This looks more like a costume than formal wear.

@Jefflee8084Lee @gulaiCHM Shen Yun was founded in the US Li Hongzhi whose followers believe he is a God conducting the apocalypse. Li teaches extreme teachings about aliens, mixed race marriages, homosexuality and Li has even told them they shouldn't get paid because selling a ticket is saving a life

@gulaiCHM Perhaps you've seen Shen Yun posters or heard of Shen Yun, but there are some facts about Shen Yun that the media may not have reported on. Today, let's hear about five facts about Shen Yun—facts you might not know. One, Shen Yun was founded in the United States.

也許你見過神韻海報或對神韻有所耳聞，但關於神韻的一些事實，媒體不一定有報導。今天我們就聽聽關於神韻的五個事實，您或許不知道的事實。 一、神韻創立於美國。神韻第一批藝術家由逃離中共殘酷迫害的人們組成，沒有任何政府和財團的資助，他們創造了美國歷史上發張最迅速的演藝團體之一。旨在恢復中國傳統文化和對美國賦予的藝術表達自由的感恩。神韻回饋社會的方式就是每年製作一套全新節目，呈現給數以百萬計的觀眾。 二、信仰是藝術家們的動力。神韻是有法輪功修煉者創辦的。神韻的藝術家們平日里會打坐煉功靜修，並用真善忍的的原則要求自己。這些原則表現在他們的日常生活、訓練及演出中，神韻的藝術家們相信，若要創作出與人有益的藝術作品，必須先提升自己。他們所看重的並非金錢或職業成就，因為她們堅信世界需要啟迪和希望並銘記我們與神性的聯繫。三、神韻正遭受中共攻擊 ｜神韻社群｜

Mainstream media and politicians really need to understand Falun Gong and Shen Yun along with what is really behind these organisations...

@NTDPlus_ @ShenYun

‘PERSECUTED TO DEATH’: @ShenYun dancer Marilyn Yang gets emotional telling the real story she portrayed of a mother losing her daughter to CCP persecution. Yang says the young girl was killed for her faith in Falun Gong. “It’s something that’s actually happening to people who have the same faith as me.”

When she came to @ShenYun, Angelia Wang was not a Falun Gong practitioner. Then she discovered three teachings that would guide her life as a professional dancer. “Truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, these actually guide me along my way in my dance career.” Angelia also describes how she never felt pressured to join Falun Gong, but was moved by how nice they all were.

@NTDPlus_ @ShenYun

While most young dancers only dream of this, Lillian Parker is already performing in front of thousands with @ShenYun. “For us so young, being able to join practicum and perform on stages, that’s just incredible. We’re so lucky.” Lillian also explains how performing on stages across the world, under different conditions, produces dancers who are seasoned far beyond their age.

@NTDPlus_ @ShenYun

Even amid bomb threats, a @ShenYun dancer says they “have the will to keep going.” Since its founding, the world-renowned dance company has faced relentless pressure from the Chinese regime. “You know, sometimes what the world needs is good, and you just have to put it out there. And nothing can stop you,” says dancer Lucas Browde.

Premiering tonight at 7pm ET. The first documentary to go behind the scenes at Shen Yun and bring to light the global campaign to sabotage and silence the company. ntd.com/unbroken
