Wall Of Lies And Secrecy

Each group is a soft mob. Each group reveals its mob-like traits as soon as its members make contact with defiant outsiders.

Then the rebels will know group existence A wall of lies, secrecy and silence keep the enemies of the group from finding out what is going on with the borders of the group.

If the dissident is a great soul, he is so unpopular that the group members avoid him like the plague, because being associated with him will lead to their being cast out of the group, much to their shame and chagrin, a fate detested by joiners.

The mob realizes that the outlier loners are lonely, hurting and self-doubting. The mob is at war with the dissidents. This is a deadly serious power struggle. In many ways, the mob is in control and like it that way, keeping the loners isolated, thwarted, discredited and censored.

They strive to force the great soul to surrender, to be silent, to join the group, or to kill himself.

Their forgiveness and promise of social acceptance if he surrenders will never be forthcoming. They are faithless liars that are bigoted discriminators. They are very corrupt, and are not heaven-bound.
