It seems that those who reject the truth Nataly torn to the priestcraft road by Nehor in seeing themselves up as light to others. It makes me think of John Dehlin who makes a living helping people leave the church even though he didn’t do so voluntarily.
As I think about it, his exit was conducted with his sons. He knew that based on the work he was doing he was best positioned to help people rationalize their excuses for leaving of he could claim to be a member himself. The next best option would be to carry the church in negative light by pricing how mean they were by the fact that they kicked him out. If he had removed his name from the records of the church voluntarily as he encouraged others to do it would have been harder to pretty himself as an alternative inside viewpoint.
