Chinese Christian Church Cult Courageously Captured?


I'm not getting out of the house often enough. But then, apparently, neither is anyone else:
Christians in remote Xinjiang province have been interrogated on suspicion of being a cult after a violent armed raid on their house church.  
One Christian named as Sister Xu remains in detention after being arrested during a raid in which police armed with guns and electric batons ransacked her home and seized property.  
Another Christian, house church leader Brother Shen, was summoned for interrogation separately, which caused him to suffer an 'episode' relating to a heart condition, says Release partner China Aid. A second leader named as Sister Cao fled the area, fearing she too would be detained.  
All three are members of a house church in Qimo County, Kurla city, in north-west China. On March 15, 21 Public Security Bureau officials visited Sister Xu's home while she was hosting a prayer meeting. The 14 assembled Christians did not answer the door and officials departed without forcing entry 90 minutes later.  
However, that evening, armed police arrived. As well as confiscating property, they took fingerprints and blood samples from Xu, her son and husband, and took all three to the local police station for written statements. It was there that Xu's husband saw information on a computer alleging links between the house church and a Chinese religious cult.
Hmpf.

I don't know how He sees it, but I'm thinking Jesus hates homebodies,...
