A while back, I saw a documentary about the Bergs and the Kabbalah Centre. It was saying how the Bergs have financially benefited from the religeon and how others have been brainwashed and taken away from their families to work at the centre for nothing.
The documentary also dispelled the myth of the water, which was apparently no more significant than many other kinds and didn't have the properties that people were told would heal their Cancer. Many of the people working at the centre were recorded secretly, displaying homaphobia and also not painting a very good picture of the Bergs and The Kabbalah Centre.
The red string bracelet, as many Kabbalists not involved with the centre said, should be free. I know people who have been given them and you don't need to buy them from the internet.
In the documentary, when the Bergs were meant to attend a conference and found that the BBC may be there there waiting, they suddenly cancelled and said they were ill. They sent Madonna instead, who was ushered through quickly and not allowed to talk to the press. However, I did hear recently that she asked the Kabbalah Centre for a full break down of where her money was going.
