This word "non-member". It is strange and alien to me in the context it

Respectfully, DAN 1

As I understand it (and I've been corrected here before) "non-members"
keep the family out of the "Group" classification. It by its nature
implies no leaders. All this due to the government's continued focus
on establishing the family as an organization. Which is rather comical
considering the nature of the family. The only One to give birth to
this family is the Spirit of the family and this is the Only leader.
You cannot arrest a Spirit so the government picks for "us" (watch that
word) "secret leaders" and place unwarranted burdens upon them (even
prison time) to keep the rest in line, so to speak. I have no idea who
these people are doing the encyclopedia, but they're having to work
with an organized body so it seems they simlpy want some orchestrated
effort on the part of those wishing to contribute. Something of a
catch-22. As for me I applause their efforts.
