That's an odd choice....

Aren't odd choices like this a common test by cult leaders to weed out those who aren't truly committed? And then they continue in order to habituate the cult members to following orders without question.

As I recall, the Jones cult ran frequent rehearsals of their Kool-aid permanent exit. He got his cult members to the point where they followed his order simply because he said so.

That level of control over people is a powerful thing for the cult leader. It reinforces their feeling of power over their cult members.
