RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IS BEING VIOLATED IN JAPAN - Dr. Luonne Rouse

This is something that cannot go unnoticed. The story must be told. Instead of our worldwide movement basically always buckling under and huddling in the face of so much persecution, the tide is changing. The world is beginning to realize that there is something unique, wonderful, and beautiful about our movement. The world needs to know how much we've had to suffer. Mr. Goto is one example. These numerous sisters whom I cannot name are others. Even as we speak, in Tokyo there are a couple of hundred who are still unaccounted for and are believed to be held captive against their will and being deprogrammed.

I am encouraging everyone to take up this banner and speak as proud Americans who have the greatest gift of living in a country where we can exercise our freedom to worship. Instead of just enjoying it for ourselves, how wonderful would it be if we as Americans could start exerting pressure on the White House, on Capitol Hill, at the UN so that the Japanese ambassador will be held accountable for the things that are taking place in Japan.

We no longer have to sit in silence. We no longer have to just sit and take the abuse. We can make a difference, and we are making a difference. It is high time that the women, as mothers and sisters, take up this issue and make it an American issue so that we can truly champion the rights of these brothers and sisters who are suffering in Japan.

I've been talking to different districts, ministers, and student organizations, saying, This is not a Japanese problem that needs to be addressed only by Japan. This is a worldwide problem. If Japan has a problem and we are supposed to be one family under God, then it becomes our problem. If our brothers and sisters are suffering, it becomes our suffering. If they are being violated, then we are being violated.

Their is China that totally has no religous freedom at all it is once when Commadore Perry stood foot on Japan, it is our trading partner. It might be true until the next papacy in my denomination whenever the Vatican burns copies of the book called the Rape of Nanking then rules will slightly to change but problably you may seem that 100% of China's Catholics will be converted to protestants I bet this mighr lead of hipacrytes in China if those books get burned within my fiaith.
