SSSusan:
I have a low tolerance for Marietta's oathbreaking, too, but 
wouldn't it make MORE sense to tell them something bad would happen 
if they signed & then told, to *let* those people "find a way not to 
sign"??  That way you've got no one in the group who might betray 
you later, no one in the group you're allowing to continue to come 
to meetings and gather intel on you.  AND if they walked without 
signing, you'd know who to be watching!  You'd know there were 
people who didn't think this was such a good idea, so you'd better 
be careful how much detail you let out.  

In short, letting them go without signing would equal damage control 
in my book.
