The exotic becomes regulated …
… even seemingly harmless activities are looked down upon ….
Even … masturbation!
… but it doesn’t matter that so-called worldly practices are banned … besides, you’re a victim of the outside world, people out there must not appreciate you as much as those in the congregation, After all ….
You’re special!!!!
You should feel special…God really likes you!
You fell so special about the attention you have received; you want others to feel the same way. You begin to view everyone as a potential convert.
To bring them closer to God’s organization you learn that you don’t need to tell the truth to them all the time.
