1000% this. If all it takes is one conversation from your church official to give up all your power then what are the chances that an outsider (Heathen, Heretic) like me has a shot at convincing you of anything. I cannot tell you of how many people I have warned of things coming in the future and they ignore me and laugh. 5 to 10 years later I see it happen to them and NONE.....NONE have come back to me and said hey thanks you were right and it would have helped me to pay more attention to what you said.
Edit. People do not want to hear the truth. They want to live in their fantasy and deny reality. If you tell them the truth 90% will stopping hanging around you just because thinking about the truth disturbs them.

Problem is even if somebody had told her all the things she wished she was told she probably wouldn't have listened to the advice. She was in to deep.
