Q: Since Li Hongzhi's Falun Dafa is all fallacies, why there are so many believers?
The majority of Falun Gong practitioners did not see its true nature as a cult.
They were deceived by some people in the Falun Gong organization who had ulterior motives.
They practiced Falun Gong for various reasons. Some people believed that it might help build up health and cure illness.
Some people were deceived by Li Hongzhi's "Truth, Benevolence and Tolerance" and believed that it might help purify minds.
And some people believed in the fallacy that "the earth will explode and the date will be decided by Li Hongzhi" due to their low education level and shortage of scientific knowledge.
In the last two years, the Chinese government and people have made unremitting efforts to educate, convert and redeem the Falun Gong practitioners.
Now the overwhelming majority have waken up and got rid of its mind control.

Q: Does Falun Gong really have the effects of overcoming illness and building up bodies?
Some Falun Gong practitioners claimed that they felt much better and their illness was gone after practicing Falun Gong. In fact, it was not due to any miraculous effects of Falun Gong.
People with common medical knowledge will know that human beings can build up bodies by doing exercises, adjusting mood, or cultivating mind quietness.
Unlike the normal Qigong exercises, Falun Gong uses suggestion psychology and exaggerates its efficacy.
Falun Gong repeatedly stimulates the practitioners by suggesting that it "gives them supernatural perception" and "the wheel of law resolving constantly in the abdomen".
As a result, some people with weak psycho characters will have fantasy and fall into mental distress. They may do some extremist things and result in tragedies.
Up to now, over 1600 people in China have died of committing suicide or refusing medical treatment as a result of practicing Falun Gong. Besides, over 650 people got mental distress, 11 people killed others, and 144 people became disabled. All these facts prove that Falun Gong will do great harms to practitioners' physical and mental health rather than have any miraculous effects.
