"If I gave you a large check not for a specific purpose but to more generally support your helping the less fortunate, I would not nessiarily expect you to spend it right away. If your funds keep accumilating faster then you spend them on charity I might figure you don't really need continueing support from me, but it wouldn't necessarily be a sign that you misappropriated the funds." Then why would you have different expectations for THEM?? I don't. I don't contribute to them but if I did and I found that they were continually spending less they they took in for decades and they have an enormous amount of money socked away then I would feel they don't need my money any more, brcause they apparently have more then they can spend. This doesn't have to mean they are a fraud, but it would suggest that it wouldn't make sense for me to send them money. Of course they could actually be a fraud but I have seen no evidence for that. As for your link I think its possible that the people who made up the link are lying. Its also possible that their sources are lying to them or that some of the accusations are just uncertain rumors. I have not read all the links from that page so there could be some evidence that I missed but since I have no plans to contribute to the order and I am not connected to the order or responsible for determining anything that effects the order there is a limit to how much time I will spend researching it. I read your posts to me, and most of the other posts here but I don't feel it is worth my time to spend additional hours doing further research. Tim
