How Is Congregation for the Light Funded?

Written by ex-Light member who was in the group for over 30 years: I remember an ex-member who was very high up in the management of this organization tell me about the cash donations he'd be in charge of. He said that he'd see over $50K in cash in donations---just piles of monies.

Who knows? But I can show you this as it is public record. This is a non-profit set up in the name of Morris Kates (Morrie used to run The Light).
Very Interesting: Morris Kates Foundation

Most, if not all, religious organizations accept donations, this is a legal and accepted practice. The amount is modest for a congregation with three employees.

To answer Anonymous > June 1, 2012:
These events are conducted in a very cultlike atmosphere, with a demand for compliance to it's teachings motivated by fear and or threats of reprisal. Either in this lifetime or in future lifetimes. Questioning anything put forth is highly discouraged.
Those who leave are shunned, even by family members. Physical punishent of children is encouraged, homophobia is rampant.
Kindnesses are extended only to orher members, not to anyone outside the group. There is more, but that is all I will say for now.
