The reason it's written that way is because the idea that it's selling is that a person must be loyal regardless of the situation. A careful analysis of the various stories reveal that is basically what they are all about. That one of the reasons they performed circumcisions. It locked in the males in the cult before they even knew that they were alive. It's also why a lot of criminal gangs force their members to get all tattooed up. Once they are marked it becomes impossible for the members to leave the gang. It's forced loyalty to the end.
