La contribution perpétuelle des Précurseurs

La contribution perpétuelle des Précurseurs is the organization’s nonrefundable membership donation: a large sum paid on joining, with a contract stipulating that it can never be reclaimed. The arrangement makes departure formally possible but financially irreversible, revealing how the group’s claims of freedom coexist with a substantial cost of exit.

Terms and Effect

The donation is described as a large payment made when a person joins the group. Its defining condition is explicit: the contract rules out any refund. Members who accept that condition are, in principle, free to leave, so the contribution does not legally bind them to remain. Instead, it ensures that leaving means forfeiting the money already given.

Departure and Opposition

Some members lose faith and leave. Former adherents have also organized an association accusing the group of being dangerous, antisocial, and fraudulent; they have pursued legal action and circulated pamphlets. Their criticism has had little influence on public opinion, while the group is described as having prominent lawyers and a formidable legal defense. The donation is one element of this broader account of exit: departure is possible, but the contract makes the financial loss permanent.

Place in the Group’s Structure

The payment sits alongside a pronounced division between senior members and lower-ranking adherents. According to Ayumi’s preliminary inquiries, those who withdraw are generally people of low status, while only an elite with higher education or specialist expertise can become senior, reach the system’s center, meet the leader, and receive directives. The wider membership contributes money, trains, and works on farms. In this context, the nonrefundable donation is not an isolated rule: it belongs to an organization whose burdens and access to authority are unevenly distributed.

Significance

The contribution’s permanence contrasts with the group’s stated openness to individual spiritual awakening and its assertion that members may leave. Freedom exists as a formal option, but the contract attaches a lasting economic consequence to exercising it. The rule thus clarifies how the organization can permit departure without restoring what departing members have paid.
