Keep in mind that most pastors in America make between $100.00 - $200,00 a week. The larger majority of pastors are really doing what they preach and live the way the bible tells them to live. So please keep perspective on the subject.
I am sure that David is dealing with a group of individuals that have a larger cult of believers and have mastered the art of brain washing people. Why people get caught up in this kind of crap is beyond my understanding because I can see what they are doing. I guess I'm pretty cynical when it comes to people coming in with a new way of seeing God or trying to convince me of their new revelation. But people fall for it every day.
David I know you feel betrayed because of what has happened. But if there is a way to get into your wife's mind try to understand and see if it was malicious or innocence that caused her to become such a part of this.
More later if time permits.

We know that there are those but we also all know the multi millionaires who have more homes than most people have rooms and private jets and just do not get me into TBN. ::) They certainly have many ways of continually cajoling cash from the pockets of people in more need than them.

David E:
Xmas has just been re-instated in my home....Ming comes home at 8pm tonight. ;D ;D ;D
We managed to resolve our issues over the past 2 weeks and hopefully we can put it all behind us and move on.
I finally convinced her that despite my own convictions, I will always support and encourage her in whatever religious stuff she wishes to pursue.
She got a job last year teaching Mandarin writing and speaking to Chinese children who were 2nd and 3rd generation Aussies and whose parents wished them to "re-learn" some of their Chinese roots. In this school she was exposed to a lot of other Chinese people...some of which were Religious predators...and she fell for it.
These bottom dwellers were all about scamming money...not proselitising true religion.
So when she comes back and is settled, I will arrange for her to get some PROPER advice about Christianity...and then she can make up her mind whether it truly offers her something that her previously held Buddhist convictions do not.
The Group that took her for money now face prosecution for a number of offences.....Collecting money but having no registration as a religious Organisation or Charity........Tax evasion.......Offences under the Trades Practices Act...Offenses under the Fair Trading Act...Offences under the Corporate Affairs Commission Act...to name but a few. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Additionally, I have begun a Civil Suit for recovery of the money and mental pain and suffering.........
That hopefully will keep them busy for the next couple of years and involve them in squillions of dollars of Solicitor and Legal costs...and if any of them are not Permanent Residents, they risk deportation too.
As they say "Hell hath no fury than a DavidE scorned/ conned"..(or something like that)
ps...In the current state of my emotional affairs I forgot to mention the Ashes series Willy........one word springs to mind...Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ;D ;D
Robertt S:
David E,
I am very happy that all worked out for the best. I was hoping you could expose these thieves for what they truly were. Hopefully she has learned a valuable lesson concerning scammers and con artist. I truly hope you two can now continue on in peace without any outside influences causing further problems. Season Greetings to you and Ming! :)
Best wishes for your future,
Robert
