Woo convinced her followers during their regular and lengthy spiritual sessions that she was a deity who could communicate with gods and spirits, dictating that they call her"lord". She claimed that she would collate the money and transfer it to India, where it would be used for things like buying cows or building temples and schools in the country.

If the followers did not obey Woo completely, she would impose various violent and degrading punishments on them.
