Germany: "It's Happening So Quickly. The Number of Withdrawals from the Party Needs to Be Updated Again." (Photos)

Jan. 27, 2008 |   By a German practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) On January 20, 2008, when Falun Gong practitioners in front of the Chinese Consulate in Munich were setting up banners, one practitioner said emotionally, "It's happening so quickly. The number of withdrawals from the Party needs to be updated again." Just two weeks ago, when the practitioners held a rally here to support the withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations, the number of people who had withdrawn stood at thirty million. During the two-week period, between thirty to fifty thousand people had quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations every day.

The mild weather meant a lot of people going outdoors. Many of them stopped to read the banners outside the Chinese Consulate: "Support thirty-one million people who quit the CCP", "Chinese Communist regime harvests organs from living Falun Gong practitioners" and others. There was also an operating table simulating the organ harvesting from living people. People stopped to read the display boards and talk to the Falun Gong practitioners.

Falun Gong practitioner Miller said that through talking to people, he found that many people are already aware of the CCP's crimes. Some saw the protests at the Chinese Consulate before, while others learned about the persecution from the media. Some people have relatives and friends working in China or dealing with China. Some people said that they would let their friends know about the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, and many people signed a petition calling for an end to the CCP's atrocities.

A businessman who owns a joint venture in China happened to pass by. When a practitioner talked to him, he was quite unfriendly at the beginning and stressed that he felt China is quite good. After an in-depth discussion with Miller, he thanked the practitioner sincerely for informing him about the persecution of Falun Gong. A cameraman working for a TV station said that his colleague is making a film in collaboration with China. He said that he must tell his colleague about the persecution. An elderly gentleman asked for a blank petition form so that his family and friends could sign it to protest the persecution of Falun Gong.

A couple examined the display boards carefully. When a practitioner invited them to sign the petition, the lady said that they were still considering it. They agreed that the persecution is extremely brutal, but they wanted to learn first what Falun Gong is and why the Chinese Communist regime wants to persecute Falun Gong. Practitioners told them that Falun Gong is a cultivation way following the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and teaches people to be good. Practitioners also told them that Falun Gong exercises are taught free of charge around the world. After hearing this, the lady became very interested because she was attending a Qigong class and it was very expensive. Practitioners told them that because Falun Gong follows the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance", it is completely incompatible with the Chinese Communist Party's wicked nature. That's why it is persecuted by the Chinese Communist regime.

When the practitioners talked to them about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and about the evil nature of the Communist Party, the couple nodded in agreement. The husband thought that out of economic interest, the German government turns a blind eye to the persecution. One Falun Gong practitioner said that in China, often people would crowd around, watching a crime take place and not doing anything to stop it. So when various governments pretend not to hear and see the Chinese Communist regime's atrocities, it is no different. So in the eyes of divine beings, what would the future hold for such nations and people? The couple agreed with the practitioner's point. Their son works in China, and they asked for a copy of "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" to give to him. They ended up signing the petition and wishing the practitioners well.
