$110 that's not much in the year 2006, but the Bethelites are looking for the fame and status of having been at Bethel to satisfy their vanity. All they produce is poisonous literature that misleads and enslaves minds.
Obviously you don't mean all but...I knew many who were there for the same reason I was there....because we honestly believed it was "God's Organization" and we wanted to do our part. Period. We gave up much, at times.
Perhaps the motive you ascribe to Bethelites speaks more of folks you know personally or character flaws that particularly annoy you.
Bethelites, like posters here, have a wide variety of motives for their behavior.
