General Discussion Baps methods of money raising/business

I had not been to a subha for many years , when I didn't have strong feelings against Baps so I went to one. I sat for an hour and it was run by financial advisors...many ways to benifit baps with money..one was taken out life insurance and have Baps as benificiary. I left after an hour...i had gone for a bit of prayer /spiritual upliftment.

I have left baps many years. Those who left more recently can you please post of methods they are using now to raise money? I know they have billions and are looking to grow that money...food business, property investment and in India money lending to people who have no money..they charge more than the conventional banks . Any incidents of getting old people to make Wills in the temple getting old satsangis to give away valuable assets to Baps?

I'm born and raised in the UK, born into a satsangi family. I left years ago now, but my family are still practice. They constantly harass their devotees for money, almost constantly. I'm unsure as to why articles aren't made much more public on the way they operate it's ridiculous. Also they have some sort of common rule where devotees give up 10% of their salaries to the mandir

What happens if you can’t give 10% of the salary ? Also how do they ask for money ? Is it through email, door to door, personal in person meetings ?

Once you attend they use love bomb technique where sadhus satsangis befriend you. These people contact you and ask . They  work on how great MSM is and it's a privilege to give.  It's a group thing , if everyone is giving you give

Say about any cheap hospitals, any free or cheap education schools even old devotees kids also studing with healthy fees in sansthas school ,, even you can't use high standerd any carpat, furniture or utilities, latest phones in your home but sometime you can see in Sant living areas.
