As 1-X states they target vulnerable people. Those that require a charitable contribution are easy targets for groups to take advantage which no matter what you say that's what the church did to you. They including propaganda material as part of their charitable gift to prey on your vulnerabilities and/or to guilt trip you into joining their 'cult' .
Its actually pretty despicable and not at all charitable and certainly doesn't seem to be very Jesus like
