Well humbug weinland does not mention anything about a lowly member leaving.
Humbug weinland will announce the leaving of someone of important due to the fact that rumors will race through what is left of his cult! It does not necessarily has to be an elder or other title but there are some who are known and popular with the general membership. You have to remember that humbug weinland's policy of shunning is at play here! The humbug will do everything possible to keep anyone from speaking to this individual!
If the humbug's influence is weak, members will contact this individual and ask why? This is what the humbug fears!!! Because it may lead to further defections from the humbug's cult.
Let's hope for more defections!!!!!!
