Any religous sect that teaches and enforces strict corporate legalism deals in psychological conditioning whether they mean to or not.
In other words whether whatever rules are taught are actually biblical, neccessary for salvation, etc it doesn't matter if the sect places high value on them and places them as measurements of ones standing with God.
Therefore if one stops adhering to those rules they have been taught repeatedly for years are neccessary, wanted by God, and a sin to violate, they will experience guilt. That is psychological conditioning. It is also many times confused as "conviction". For this reason pastors who have taken years behind the scenes to change their thinking on corporate legalism then spring it on their congregations with little or no warning are making a terrible mistake.
