“[Mormonism’s] invisibility, and the mystery which was attached to it, made this organization doubly terrible.  It appeared to be omniscient and omnipotent, and yet was neither seen nor heard.  The man who held out against the Church vanished away, and none knew whither he had gone or what had befallen him.  His wife and his children awaited him at home, but no father ever returned to tell them how he had fared at the hands of the secret judges.  A rash word or a hasty act was followed by annihilation, and yet none knew what the nature might be of this terrible power which was suspended over them.  No wonder that men went about in fear and trembling, and that even in the heart of the wilderness they dared not whisper the doubts which oppressed them.”

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet
