I question whether anyone of a True Amarrian Bloodline is involved is this “group”. Rather than an organic movement, I always felt this was a Gallentean plot.
The only incident in my history as a capsuleer involving a suspected Cult of the Lash ship resulted in a large of amount of local Gallentean “Mercenaries” responding quickly to defend it.
I would think citizens would be better served by joining and approved cult. Cyber Knights regularly patrol the belts for illegal behavior. They do so as paragons of justice who help the citizenry and workers out of the kindness of their heart
