Lightbulb Re: Is the LC more susceptible to the outward vs. inward?

The LR uses their weird cultural practices to test people and see if they are "part of the group". Many times I would see full timers and elders pressure various new ones to do the vain repetition chants, just to see if they are adjusting and fitting into the culture. If the new one would hesitate or show signs of dissent or awkwardness, they would use that piece of information to tell if a person had potential "good building material. The weird practices of the LR is mainly for conformity purposes. They rely on these superficial things such as dressing the same, everyone shaving facial hair, and vain chanting to appear "oneness". While in reality, its just shallow conformity held together by domineering culture.
