Regarding the categories, I agree with you. So, there's at least another category--those who didn't see abuse. Weren't these also in unquestioning submission to the leadership?

Hi Ohio,

I want to add a little more to my above response to your questions. By absolute submission to authority, I don't mean that everyone under the hierarchy is necessarily carrying out such submission, because there may be levels of passive resistance present. I think a better way for me to say it would be to say that the leadership system is one which expects absolute submission. If the expected submission is not given at any point, the system will carry out discipline or punishment.

Isn't this what was present among us in the LCs?
