In some ways, Eastern Lightning are hilarious. For starters, the cult's
core belief is that Jesus Christ has been reincarnated as a middle-aged
Chinese woman called Lightning Deng who now lives in Chinatown in New
York. Then there are the bizarre evangelizing attempts to recruit
China's rural communities—stuff like the sudden appearance of live
snakes painted with scripture and mysterious glow sticks hidden in
people's homes that somehow (I'm really not sure how) signal the second
coming of Christ.
Leaders of Christian groups warn their members against the "flirty fishing" methods supposedly adopted by Eastern Lightning ladies to convert Christian men to the path of their female Christ. Lastly, of course, there's the name, which sounds more like an energy drink or AC/DC cover band than a cult. Perhaps that's why, these days, they often use the alias "Church of the Almighty God."
