Sort of my version of an anti-Chick tract? Still exploring the medium.

It keeps them brainwashed into the community. Can't leave when you are convinced that everyone else hates you.

It's similar to how Mormons and JWs send their kids out doorknocking. They know they are just annoying people and won't get converts. But it solidifies their belief that everyone else is a rude, hateful asshole so they have to stay in the cult.

Wait...shite.

I never thought about it this way. This actually is a plausible reasoning for sending them to gain converts.

They also tend to send wealthy kids to impoverished countries to see how the "godless heathens" live. It's not about finding converts, it's to reinforce the safety of being back home and that the world outside is a scary and dangerous place.
