(Minghui.org) I talked to my colleague a few days ago about renouncing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated youth organizations. She was receptive and agreed to withdraw from the Party.
I was about to end our conversation, and record her real name on the Quitting the CCP website later on. She then asked if our conversation was sufficient or if I needed anything else from her.
“It should work as long as the divine beings see your wish to quit,” I replied. She seemed concerned and asked again, “Are you sure this is enough?”
I didn’t want to mention the website to her. I thought she might worry, regret it, and change her mind. But I realized I was not being responsible to her.
So I explained that she had to make a declaration to withdraw from the CCP on the website, using her real name or a pseudonym. I asked if she was willing to use her real name. She thought about it and said to use her username on social media.
Many practitioners in my area make the same mistake―after clarifying the truth, we don’t explain that it is necessary to make a declaration on the Quitting the CCP website, and we don’t even mention using a real or made-up name. We only ask for their last name, create a fictitious first name for them, and ask them to reject the Party and its affiliates. People often feel confused or puzzled by our words, and this can affect our efforts to help people sever ties with the Party.
I think we should be clear to people about making a declaration on the website to renounce the CCP, and obtain their consent to do so. We need to be responsible to them.
