A way to "get through" to Bree?

Daniel,
You've said you don't know much about Bree's religion, and as you can tell from the boards, none of the rest of us do, either. We do know, though, that she's put a picture of Crowley in a place of prominence in her room, and therefore possibly in her beliefs.
We also know Crowley subscribed to--heck, practically worshipped--the notion that an individual must follow her best True Will. You might point out to Bree that she seems to be following a doctrine, not of True Will, but instead of obedience: she's accepting injections of an unknown substance, and learning procedures for an unknown ceremony, simply because her elders are telling her to.
Ask Bree if this seems as illogical to her as it does to you. Ask her to explain if there is some theological reason why her religion might not see a conflict between Obedience and True Will. If Lucy and the others are actually operating against the way their religion teaches, Bree might see the sense of breaking away from them.
But hurry, Daniel. That girl is looking frailer every day.
