Testimony of student_2: isolation from the outside world (New Acropolis City_X)
The testimony concerns student_2, who studied at the branch of New Acropolis in City_X. The described situations illustrate the practice of isolating students from the outside world: breaking relationships with those who are not members of the organization, and forbidding visits to other educational institutions or schools.
Testimony No. 3 — Call to break off the relationship with student_3
The head of New Acropolis City_X told student_2 that his girlfriend — student_3 — had stopped attending school, and therefore she is lost and is heading nowhere. The head effectively suggested to student_2 that he consider whether it is worth staying with her.
This is practically a direct call to break off the relationship — under the guise of "care" for the student's spiritual path.

Testimony No. 6 — Refusal to travel to another school
Student_2 was refused permission to go to another philosophical school.
Any contact with external philosophical or spiritual communities is regarded by the organization as a threat. Students are not allowed to independently explore other sources of knowledge or communities — even temporarily.
