No hiding, no dangerous tactics and camouflage

It is not a question, therefore, of concealing their own personality or state in life; nor of maintaining a particular appearance, other than their true, natural one; nor of acting in a certain way for apostolic purposes; nor of adopting unnecessary camouflage.

All such strange behaviour or hypocrisy is impossible in the Work. It could be employed by people who try to disguise themselves as secular, or aim to look as though they were not religious, “secularizing” themselves, as I have seen some do, perhaps as an apostolic tactic. It would be a dangerous tactic, which could lead (since sincerity always claims its rights) to actual apostasy from the religious state, brought about by techniques that pervert both intellect and behaviour.
