I'm doing a little research project on Falun Gong and was wondering if you guys had some good info or resources on the topic. Views from both sides are welcome!

Yes, I have been searching, but I was just checking to see if any of the individuals here had any resources in particular that they'd recommend.

Well, the skeptic's dictionary is a good start:

Here's their entry on falun gong.

If you browse in the archives of James Randi website, you can read some of his comments against Falun Gong supposed miracles and his praises of the Chinese government for stomping it...

American falun gong

Lots of stuff

books by Li Hongzhi

In those sources (especially the books by the founder) you can find among other:
The "need" for racial segregation.
How to handle "deviant" sexuality.
Sightings of "real" dragons in china.
You shouldn't use medicine.
Science will lead you on the wrong path.

Especially read the lectures their Q&A sections are a real hoot.

More than seventy percent of the human brain cannot be used, and modern medicine has also recognized this point.

However, let me tell you that historically, during prehistoric times, a hundred thousand years ago or even much, much earlier than that, up to over a hundred million years ago, highly advanced civilizations had always existed on this planet, only that they were destroyed in different time periods. Why were they destroyed? It was because they developed very fast materially and technologically while their morality could not keep pace or was destroyed. They were then no longer allowed to continue to exist and were destroyed.

In the past, singers would have beautiful voices and were graduates of music schools. The physique and bearing should be as elegant as possible since music is supposed to give people a sense of beauty. Nowadays, there are people, hard to tell whether they are men or women, with long hair, who when screaming hysterically "Ah!" would become singing stars with the help of TV promotion.

Your second question is about mental disorder. Whether it is minor or severe, we have all made it clear that: he is advised not to engage in our practice.

I remember that Jehovah and Jesus all said in the Bible or books as such, "You should not go to the East." There are other things said, but I only remembered this sentence, "You should not go to the East," telling his disciples not to pass on the teaching in the East. His disciples did not listen to his words and followed the expeditionary forces to the East. A problem then occurred. The races in the world are not allowed to be mixed up. Now, the races are mixed up and it has brought about an extraordinarily serious problem. Once races are mixed up, one does not have a corresponding relationship with the higher levels, and he has lost the root. Mixed races have lost their roots, as if nobody in the paradise will take care of them.

Thus, races have become increasingly mixed up, which can lead to serious consequences. Of course, I will not go into details. I'm just saying that the higher levels do not recognize such a human race.

yellow people, the white people, and the black people have the corresponding races in heaven. Then, if one is not from his race or does not belong to his people, he will not take care of him.

Taking medicine is to suppress them inside the body and is as good as accumulating them. One may not feel the pain on the surface, but it is deposited in the deeper level of the body. Performing a surgery is also the same. For instance, suppose that one has a tumour and has it removed. He has only cut off the matter on the surface while the genuine cause of illness is in another dimension, which has not been touched.

etc

Many of them were "re-educated" to embrace reality. There were a couple government-told stories on Chinese satellite TV last year.

Spoonist's entire post

*chuckles* just the type of devious things I've been finding too. You wonder WHY China has a bad rap on them!

Thank you all for the help! I was able to talk for something like 7 minutes with no notes to read off of because of the plethora of info you gave me. Danke!

As a product of a mixed race marriage, I hereby swear to kick in the nuts/forearm across the chest any Falun Gong member that tries to convert me to their cause while spouting the evils of interracial breeding.

Go Go Chinese Government!

Call me crazy, but I kind of think that a government shouldn't be allowed to stomp any belief system, no matter how stupid it is, as long as nobody is harmed against their will.
