Elder Lin paid me a visit the night before the Forum; we talked for an hour.
a. During his visit, Elder Lin
-1) told me that he will be the chair of the Forum, and
-2) confirmed that the IA will allocate 60 minutes for me to present my report at the Forum.
b. I immediately suggested to Elder Lin that, being the object of discussion of the Forum, he should not be the chairperson of the Forum. I asked Elder Lin to reconsider his decision.
3.12
The night before the Forum, Elder Lin, in his capacity as IA chairman, sent a set of fabricated documents, which differed significantly from the genuine set of the original documents (that I received on Sept 16, 2010) to all the IA EXCO members (see Evidence pp. 83–98)
a. Before going to bed, I discovered that in preparation for the following day’s Forum, Elder Lin had sent an e-mail to the IA EXCO members. The e-mail focused on what IA documents that he and Elder Tse had given me on September 16, 2010.
b. In the preamble to his e-mail, Elder Lin announced to all the IA EXCO members: “the IA had provided Brother Michael Young with documents (see Exhibit I) in September 2010; these documents are more than enough for him to understand the main points of the issue”.
c. In order to prove that he knew what he was talking about, Elder Lin attached a fake set of documents (which he himself had fabricated and compiled) to his e-mail and sent such as Exhibit I to all EXCO members! The list of documents that Elder cited and their contents are almost 50% different from those that he and Elder Tse gave me on Sept 16, 2010 (the genuine version).
d. Upon receiving these fake and fabricated documents, I suddenly realized:
-i. When Elder Lin and Elder Tse gave me 37 pages of IA documents on Sept 16, 2010, they had not kept copies for themselves.
-ii. Since they did not keep a copy for their own record, Elder Lin of course
--1) did not know what documents the IA had given me, and
--2) did not know these documents were totaled 37 pages.
-iii. Since Elder Lin did not know what IA had given me, therefore, during the 88 days (from 2010.09.16 to 2010.12.14) of me requesting additional documents from the IA, Elder Lin was wildly lying and baselessly claiming: “Everything you need to know is in the documents that the IA has given to you.”
[Note 1: Elder Lin's subject e-mails to the IA EXCO members clearly say who Elder Lin is and how he operates and 1) his mindset in leading the church, 2) his modes of operation, and 3) the pitifulness of the IA and its administrative lapses!]
[Note 2: Rather than speaking truthfully and honestly, Elder Lin has decided to commit a series of serious mistakes such as taking advantage of his status as IA chairman to lie blatantly, tamper with IA records, fabricate IA documents, bear false witness, and use false information to 1) mislead his co-workers, 2) manipulate public opinion on the issues and control what the members should see and hear, 3) make false charges against church members who speak out for the truth, and 4) discredit and attack workers and church members who speak the truth, etc.]
e. How lamentable and terrible is this lie and the pretense behind it! It really makes one sick, sad and disappointed for Elder Lin and for our church.
f. Elder Lin used his position as IA chairman to bear false witness and mislead his co-workers through the flagrant use of false documents.
3.13
A comparison of the genuine and fabricated documents
a. Upon comparing the genuine 37 pages of document that the IA gave me on Sept 16, 2010 against t the fabricated documents that Elder Lin sent to IA EXCO members on March 21, 2011, I discovered
-i. the genuine document consisted of a total of 37 pages, but the false document was only 15 pages
-ii. there were many articles that were in the genuine version but not in the false version
-iii. there were many articles that were not in the genuine version that showed up in the false version
iv. articles that were in both the genuine and false versions (these articles bore the same IA document reference numbers) nevertheless differed in their contents.
b. I can’t help but feel sad at how Elder Lin could have been so bold as to lie, deceive himself and others, fabricate IA documents, mislead his co-workers so flagrantly in the house of God, and are so lawless and autocratic!
c. Elder Lin’s conduct has caused
-1) the true church to lose her most precious truth and truthfulness
-2) the IA to lose its honesty and righteousness, and
-3) the church of the true God and all her members to be shamed.
3.14
Elder Lin’s lies and fabricated documents have harmed the IA and damaged the church
a. The IA EXCO members, not knowing the truth and not daring to question Elder Lin, were all deceived by Elder Lin’s falseness, lies and fabricated documents.
b. When IA EXCO members discovered my testimony was different from Elder Lin’s fabricated documents, they chose to believe Elder Lin’s lies because he is an elder!
c. An e-mail full of lies from the IA chairman Elder Lin, together with false document Elder Lin had fabricated won the day. As a result, at the Forum the next day, there was no discussion whatsoever on my report.
d. Elder Lin’s sinful conducts which neither glorifying to God nor beneficial to man, have
-1) cost our church the truth and truthfulness,
-2) prompted the wicked to prevail and the IA to lose its honesty, righteousness and integrity, and
-3) deprived the IA the ability to self-govern, self-examine and self-improve.
e. This example clearly shows that Elder Lin’s wrongful conducts have
-1) inflicted untold wounds to the church, and
-2) cost the IA its righteous and objective decision-making processes.
3.15
A 2-hour Forum was a one-man speech without any discussion
a. The chair of the Forum (note: it was not Elder Lin) spoke non-stop for 115 minutes out of a 120minute meeting with one or two EXCO members made brief comments;
b. I was given the last 5 minutes in a 2-hour Forum to speak.
[Note: Such time allotment totally contradicted the promises and arrangement that Preacher MY Chao and Elder Lin had made with me).
c. When I was called by the Forum chair to share with the IA EXCO members, all I could say was: “I would like to thank the IA for inviting me to the Forum...I am surprised to learn the IA administration is in disarray... the findings of IA operation deficiencies that I wanted to share with you are all presented in the report you have in your hands.” I took me less than 2 minutes to say these words.
d. Just imagine, during the 2-hour forum, the chair alone spoke for 97% of the time; the remaining 3% of the time was taken up by two or three participants (me included) making short comments. Isn’t a Forum a medium for open discussion and voicing of ideas? How did the IA Forum turn into one-party, one-way speech ( 一 言堂)? !
e. After the Forum, I kept wondering is this format/model typical of IA meetings? Does IA hold meetings simply for the sake of holding meetings? Or does the IA hold meetings to candidly discuss and solve problems?
