You're likely to see Falun Gong groups anywhere
they can count on getting a lot of public attention.
They claim to be a persecuted religious group in China
and know how to exploit pathos.
Any background information they dislike is attributed to
Chinese government propaganda.
Their leader lives as a wealthy man outside of China.
Here are two former Falun Gong members who set themselves on fire
out of loyalty.
They are always squeaky clean, clothes are spotless
signs often read "Falun Dafa" and have plenty of bright yellow highlights.
Other times they display huge, shocking photos and claim
China harvests organs from them.
Many of their outreach workers are women or elderly - exactly the kind of people
you are reluctant to set limits with.
* If you live in a large city, Falun Gong may offer
an annual "Shen Yun" performance. You are persuaded to buy
tickets for what is supposed to be a performance dedicated
to Chinese history but turns out to be Falun Gong propaganda
("Played For Fools by Shen Yun")

These SY events are always in expensive public auditoriums
with lots of advance publicity, including bus shelter posters.
Give some idea of how wealthy FG actually is.

* Pushy people try to get you to sign petitions.
* Tourist Spots
* In front of any Chinese consulate
Methods used:
* Groups doing meditation or tai chi.
