The administrative deficiencies of the present-day IA are serious and prevalent; such
breaches urgently need to be acknowledged, fixed and stopped.
From God’s perspective, the IA’s administrative deficiencies are obvious indicators
and direct consequences of the church’s transgression of His laws and her forsaking
of His ways. In terms of the long-term prospects of the church, the deficiencies in the
IA’s administrative operations constitute the greatest challenge to the church today.
Timely resolving these deficiencies is critical to TJC’s future success or failure.
Just think, the church is the household of God; how can conduct which is
unacceptable even according to worldly laws be permitted in a sacred and spiritual
body?
For the continued sustainment of the church, we need to overcome all difficulties,
face the facts, bravely admit our mistakes before God and change our old habits (Is
30:18–22). For if these deficiencies are not promptly acknowledged and corrected,
the church will continue to be struck and disciplined by God; when things get serious,
she may even be rejected by Him (Is 5:1–7).
We beseech the true God to have mercy on the church and to grant the church
wisdom, that she may quickly repent and change her ways, once again conducting
herself in accordance with the teachings of the Bible and working and shining for the
Lord.

Elder Lin’s operational deficiencies on the handling of the Pr. YM Yang Incident were
clear manifested at the IA EXCO meeting in March 2012
Having repeatedly perused over 700 pages of IA document pertaining to Pr. YM Incident, I have discovered that the practices of Elder Lin described in this report
1)took place not just during the two years when I worked with Elder Lin;
2) they werealso found in the 700-plus pages of IA archives concerning the Incident of Preacher
YM Yang.
The frequency with which these wrongful acts occurred, as well as their
destructiveness and the virulence of their attacks, was many times greater in the case
of Preacher YM Yang than in my own case.
For many years, Elder Lin has used similar illegal means to
-1) distort the words of Preacher YM, to accuse him falsely, discredit and attack him, and to
-2) fabricate false messages, false meeting minutes and false documents to deceive his co-workers and sway public opinion. Such acts have never before been witnessed in the true church’s
near hundred-year history!
In the 700-plus pages, it can be seen that Preacher YM Yang often pointed out these
biased and wrongful practices of Elder Lin and protested to the IA about them.
In the 7.5 years of Elder Yung Ji Lin’s tenure as the IA chairman, the IA Standing Committee and the IA EXCO have never investigated or tried to rectify Elder Lin’s
malfeasance.
As for the proceedings of the meeting held on March 23, 2012 during which the IA
EXCO decided to terminate Preacher YM Yang’s status as IA preacher, I believe that
there were many areas of doubt and numerous lapses and injustices that took place
during the meeting.
For example: While the IA
-i) was planning and preparing for the EXCO meeting in
March 2012, and
-ii) discussing issues related to Preacher YM Yang during their
meeting in Korea,
---a. why did Elder Lin and the IA not announce this important proposal a month
before the meeting to all the meeting attendees, as they did with the other items
on the agenda?
---b. why did Elder Lin and the IA not list in detail the IA’s arguments and evidence
beforehand, so that every EXCO member could examine the evidence, prepare
the necessary material and share his findings with the other attendees during the
meeting?
---c. why did Elder Lin and the IA not notify Preacher YM Yang of this proposal and
inform him concerning the evidence on which the proposal was based, so that he
could properly prepare his material and defend himself against the arguments of
the IA?
---d. in discussing and deciding upon this case, why did the IA not simultaneously
consider discussing the reports and accusations which Preacher YM Yang had
submitted to the EXCO over the past many years concerning Elder Lin’s
wrongdoings, and the impact that these wrongdoings may have had on the case
in hand?
---e. Why were the 7 IA Standing Committee members not brave enough to inform
the 15 IA EXCO members beforehand that they had decided long before to
submit this important proposal to the IA EXCO for discussion and arbitration?
Why did the Standing Committee instead suddenly notify the EXCO members
just three hours before that they were to discuss this important issue?
---f. Since Elder Lin’s wrongful conduct over the many years has brought about an
environment where right and wrong is confounded. Given these circumstances,
before the IA EXCO members voted to decide on how to deal with Preacher YM
Yang, how were they able to discern
----1) which pieces of evidence were authentic
and had not been tampered with by Elder Lin, and
----2) which facts had not been
manufactured by Elder Lin via wrongful means?
The IA has not provided credible answers to the many points of doubt cited above, but
has instead hastily dismissed Preacher Yang. The IA did not handle the incident of
Preacher YM Yang honestly, fairly, justly and satisfactorily in March 2012, and I believe
that the reasons for this are very closely linked to the deficiencies in the IA’s
administrative operations that are described in this report.
I am extremely worried that the IA has been misled by Elder Lin in this matter, and that it
has lost its honesty, impartiality and righteousness as a result.
