The leaders always want to find out information because they think it is their duty to make sure all the members under them are following the plan. Out of so-called "love" and "concern" they become nosey. So, if there isn't an official return and report part to the new ministering program, it will be unofficially there.

Life is so much more pleasant not being in the church (cult). So much easier! My life is a million times more blessed by not being subject to the rules of the cult. I live my my life according my own manner of happiness and I testify it is much better than living in church mode. No need for the church. No need for Jesus. No need for a Father. No need to beg an invisible Ghost to come comfort me.
