Money is a motivating factor for many cult leaders.
People like L. Ron Hubbard, the Rev. Moon, Fredrich Lenz, JZ Knight and many of our televangelists like the infamous Jim and Tammy, or Bobby Tilton are shining examples. Money has become such an obsessive part of the Aquarian Concepts Community it simply boggles the mind. Everything has a price. I have never, ever paid to talk to a priest, pastor or Rabbi in my life. Anyone who wants to can run around my garden for free.
