Well, church members have been giving to their pastors for centuries and finally, someone was offering them a chance to get something back out of it. What did they have to lose? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My partner who is a teacher told me that her co-teachers were suggesting that she tell me to invest in Bitcoin... That was in November last year when Bitcoin was skyrocketing still. I told her no way and suggested she advise her friends to stay away too. As we all know, it crashed to less than $5,000 after nearing $20,000 shortly thereafter. She also told me that her sister and co-teachers were urging her to invest (sorry...donate - to the KAPA "ministery"). I hate the idea of an investment scam hiding behind a religious facade. They all think it is legitimate - as several of you have already said - just because it is for a religion (that none of them even shares!). Getting rich quick seems to be part of the culture here and I find it depressing to see - again, as someone else has already said - the poorest to be the most gullible? My partner told me that, oh...so and so made millions in KAPA... but he was one of the first! Lastly, a slight diversion here - has anyone considered the U.S. Social Security System? It seems to be built as perhaps the biggest Ponzi scheme ever created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
