Your questions are good ones.
I think in the case of 'both' organizations, and remember my thesis is that they are 'one' organization, members have varying levels of knowledge as to the entity's true agenda. There are still people out there defending NXIVM and its leaders, for goodness sake.
I would guess that the individuals at the top of the pyramid think they will be protected, have been assured they will be protected (by someone).
Lower in the ranks there are probably people who have realized that what they thought they were getting into is not what they got into. (See NXIVM class action suit.)
And, there are folks who will NEVER wake up because they are getting something out of the 'experience' or the entity, e.g. a sense of purpose, an identity, a 'family', a craft or trade, a means of making a living. These people, I predict, will keep their mouth's shut until the end of time, or will actively defend the organization. This is the faction, REALLY, that must be worried about, IMHO.
