Promote the Two-Stage Exit Strategy. Educate the Laborers. Force the Crisis. Exit the System.

As MCGI shifted toward materialism through lugaw programs and performative medical missions, its survival became increasingly dependent on labor. The burden of evangelization and operations was transferred from ministers to ordinary members. This shift exposes MCGI to basic economic realities and makes mass work more effective when focused on material conditions and labor, rather than on doctrinal debunking or borrowed anti-cult language rooted in distant contexts—approaches that have repeatedly resulted in content deadlock and echo-chamber communities.

The first stage is the exit from the system of exploitative labor that was easily extracted when Soriano was still alive. His authority rested on charisma, which made compliance feel voluntary. With Daniel Razon’s lack of charisma and visible leadership weakness, that same labor becomes easier to withhold. As Max Weber noted, charismatic authority is fragile. Once belief in the leader erodes, obedience follows. Under these conditions, labor withdrawal becomes not only possible, but likely.

When free labor is withdrawn, MCGI’s economy—built entirely on unpaid work—begins to weaken. The internal economic crisis the organization depends on intensifies. This is the short-term focus. It is practical. It requires no theology. Ordinary members, professionals and mothers, can step forward as community leaders.

As the crisis deepens, the second stage follows. The breakdown of the labor system makes continued membership increasingly unsustainable. MCGI leadership becomes more repressive. Abuses multiply. Character assassination escalates. Family relations are strained and broken. Financial extraction worsens and donation fatigue spreads. The burden and its social consequences rise until there is no incentive left to remain.

Exit from MCGI itself becomes not only a historical and logical inevitability, but a practical and rational one.

The two-stage exit is not fixed or sequential. Some members may take a shortcut to the second stage based on their level of awareness. This framework exists to recognize closet members as valuable allies in mass work inside, allowing them to avoid direct confrontation, quietly withdraw labor, and still apply sustained pressure that pushes the system toward collapse.

Let other community leaders, particularly those led by former workers, focus on the spiritual side.

Post-MCGI Society, led by “civilians” or lay people, grounds its content strategy on material conditions.

This is the necessary balance between belief and bread, doctrine and daily survival—the two forces that shape exit.
