(Minghui.org) In my previous position, I clarified the truth and helped my co-workers quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). My boss was afraid of repercussions from the Party, so he moved me to the second shift. I believe whatever Master arranges for me is the best, so I just studied the Fa more.
Master taught us:
"The Fa can break all attachments, the Fa can destroy all evil, the Fa can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen righteous thoughts." ("Drive Out Interference" from Essentials for Further Advancement II)
I usually study one lecture of Zhuan Falun every day and study Hong Yin, Essentials for Further Advancement, and other lectures when I have more time. If I am able to focus when I study the Fa and I do the exercises daily, I am very effective when I talk to people about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
Although I helped many co-workers quit the Party, it was not easy to help the main Party leaders understand how good Dafa is. I was presented with an opportunity one day: the Party secretary was experiencing technical problems with his computer and he asked me for help. Master gave me wisdom, and I easily solved a difficult technical problem. The secretary was very grateful and I seized that opportunity to help him understand the truth about Dafa and encourage him to quit the CCP.
I started by talking about the amazing things I have experienced since I began practicing Falun Gong in 2008. Then I explained how irrational the persecution against practitioners is and how corrupt the Party is. We discussed how so many people are angry at the Party. I told him that quitting the CCP would ensure his peace of mind in China's changing climate. The secretary listened carefully and agreed to quit the CCP when I asked him again.
I haven’t participated in any CCP activities for years. However, I still paid the membership fees due to my attachments of fear and losing face. After I read several practitioners' sharing articles about this in 2016, I realized that I should stop supporting the CCP financially, and I stopped paying my dues.
Later, the CCP started a nationwide campaign to find former members in order to strengthen and expand its membership. Everyone was told to fill out the form, including retired Party members. I felt pressured and was worried that my managers would be punished if I didn’t fill out the form.
Master arranged for another practitioner to encourage me. I told him about my concerns. He helped me analyze the situation, and after I thought about it using Fa principles, I decided not to cooperate with the Party. He reminded me to believe in Master and the Fa and that Master would take care of this.
His encouragement helped strengthen my righteous thoughts. Within a few days, several Party leaders came to “have a talk” with me and threatened me by using my job and my children’s future as leverage. I kept my thoughts righteous and did not fill out the form.
I firmly believe that Master has the final say on this.
“When disciples have ample righteous thoughtsMaster has the power to turn back the tide”(“The Master-Disciple Bond” from Hong Yin Volume II)
In the end, they ran out of threats to use.
The Party later began collecting membership fees nationwide, and they came to talk to me again. I maintained my xinxing and was adamant that I would not pay the dues. After several attempts, they stopped looking for me.
At work, a lot of people have heard my story. They said I was the first employee who openly quit the CCP and refused to pay the membership fees. They said that they had thought I would be punished, because what I did was unthinkable in the past. However, under Master’s protection, the situation was peacefully resolved. Not only that, my employer gave me an “outstanding employee” award.
