Something for XCGers to think about...
If your group believes in a place of safety in Petra Jordan and if you are "lucky" going there for the next 3 1/2 years of your life. This is where you will end up, everyday of your stay there.
This is where your minister and even head honcho leader of your group will stay, while you rough it out in the dessert.
As Arsenio Hall would say, these are things that makes you go say "hhhmmm!!!" Probably it's time to stop the insanity by singing "Hit the Road, Jack!" OR "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover". Then LEAVE that group and if enough people leave, this wicked scenerio will NOT happen. As the late Rodney Lain would say, "Free you mind and your butt will follow."
