Easy ways to spot fraudulent organizations in the name of religion or seminar.

  There are so many religious organizations, self-help seminars, and spiritual counseling services in the world that it may seem difficult to tell which ones are sound and trustworthy and which ones are fraudulent.　

However, it is actually very easy to tell the difference.　

It may seem obvious, but it is a matter of whether or not they cost money.　

All costly religions and seminars are scams, and no matter how noble their teachings may be, they are nothing more than a story made up to lure the participants into paying for them. I can say this with absolute certainty.

A healthy organization is one that wishes for the happiness of all people, and its teachings and activities should be in line with that. If such an organization, which is supposed to wish for the happiness of all, asks for money, it must be because its organizers have a worldly and evil desire for more money.

As long as the organizers of such groups have evil financial agendas, everything they preach is a pretty word to make you trust them, and all they really want you to do is "listen to us, get fooled, and pay us! That is all. In other words, they are nothing but a criminal group exactly the same as criminal organizations such as phone fraud.

If it is a group organization, it certainly needs facilities such as a meeting place, so it needs some money. However, that should be covered by monthly membership fees, just like a gym. So, simply put, any organization that charges more than the membership fee of a gym must be judged as one that tries to get excessive money for greed.

If you are invited by someone to join a religious group, you should always ask how much it will cost, and if you are told vaguely that there is no cost or that it depends on how you feel, you should be suspicious.　

In any case, as soon as you find out that you are going to have to pay more than the gym membership fee, I think you should immediately consider it a fraudulent organization and cut all ties with it.

However, there are also ordinary Christian churches and religious organizations with long traditions where believers are required to donate 10% or 20% of their income, so there are certain aspects that cannot necessarily be judged solely on the basis of money, but I still think that 10% or 20% of income is too much, and we should carefully check how they are spending that much money.

There are also cases where money is collected under the guise of such things as for world peace or welfare activities, etc. In such cases, I think you should look for objective evidence to confirm whether there really is such an activity entity or not.　

In any case, if the organizer of the group or organization does not have the evil intention of "wanting more money," they will never ask for more money than the necessary expenses.

This is because there is absolutely no religious, psychological, or spiritual basis for saying that paying money will save you.

If you are asked to pay a lot of money for advice from a private religious person, a fortune teller, or a psychic, I can assure you that such a person who asks for a lot of money is covered with evil intentions, and his/her psychic sense is so low that even if he/she can give you amazingly clear and precise predictions on unimportant matters, he/she is not virtuous enough to give you advice that will really lead to your personal growth and true happiness.

In other words, people who can give advice that is truly beneficial to the individual will not charge money in the first place. Conversely, you will never get beneficial advice from people or organizations that charge a lot of money.
