NOVEMBER 7, 2024
I want to share the process of my escaping from the [Olivet] community.
From 2019 to 2020 the community asked me to borrow about $200k with 1.5% monthly interest from my younger brother and he borrowed these from banks and relatives in China.
From April 2021, the community stopped repaying me even the minimum of monthly interest because David Jung wanted all the money to go to paying for the lands and buildings all over the world.
I kept asking them to repay the debt, I couldn’t endure it and was overwhelmed. But they didn’t pay. Most leaders told me the same thing when I asked them to repay: “Pastor David said we will be rich soon and at that time members’ debts will be repaid.”
I got a stroke in May 2022. Doctor told me that it was strange for me to have a stroke at the age of 38, there was no major cause for the stroke. I knew that the overwhelming and humiliating life in the community led to my health issue.
During my recovery, Doctor asked me to do a PFO closure procedure to prevent the stroke from happening again but my insurance didn’t cover it.
I asked the community to repay $40k back then I can borrow it from my family to do the procedure and prevent the risk. But all the leaders seemed to hear nothing from me, they simply ignored my request and ignored the life risk I was suffering.
I also suffered Insomnia badly during this time while asking for repayment. But the leaders, boasting they care for members, said God would protect me and totally cure me and they will pray for me and do nothing else.
I began to realize that many leaders and members were psychopathic. They repeated the words of David Jung but had no feelings for human sufferings.
They refused to repay members and many Chinese members lost hope and suffered a lot.
In January 2024 this year. I began to read news about the Japanese Unification Church and the divine principle doctrine and newsweek reports about the community and found David Jung and his community was doing the same thing as the Unification Church. The community is a Destructive Cult.
I was angry when I realized I had been cheated for 18 years. I began to warn the business team if they don’t repay me soon, I will go to the media and law enforcement.
Zhonghao Li( Given name ‘Enoch’ first and ‘Ezra’ now) then urged the business team to pay me fast.
They paid the principal and 1% monthly interest at the end of July 2024.
In the beginning of August, When I asked Zhonghao Li to pay the other 0.5% monthly interest and the late payment penalty written in the contracts($80k together). He was becoming angry and refused to pay me and wanted to repel my family out of campus.
I called 911 and would like the local police department to protect my family and another escaping member Luyao Wang who stood by me on campus for the last 6 months.
At the same time, I contacted ex-members and then got so much help from then on. My family is really appreciative of their help.
Then we 3 adults and 2 children escaped the mill valley campus on August 13 2024, we all felt great freedom immediately after we left.
The Cult damaged so many people’s lives including mine.
