if i may weigh in here I too am not happy with using proselytization in the sentence I think ye have both made good points but have still missed the kernel of what was being done the problem i think is that proselytism is done to someone by someone the sentence as currently stands makes it sound like the process being complete was a condition of getting soup which it clearly was nt alot of the time anyway i will add the words being subject to i think these should make the correct distinction eleutherius
