Church members are reminded of their superiority over all others. We look at this as a bad groups, but they think they are the chosen ones. Often the message is a double-edged sword. Members are told they should never ever lie, unless they are asked about their families. You can't win either way.
Work is often the way to redemption, the leaders preach.
Of course we'll probably have to drag dead bodies from them, but we'll get the house.
