Fingerbang,
I'm going out on a limb and speculating here.....but maybe the "pressure" came from the fact that it's his job as VP-P to read from the bible during ritual. So maybe it came down to him not doing his job and if he didn't want to do the job, then he didn't need to be the VP-P. If he approached anyone in the chapter about it, that might have been the first thing they said, which he's now calling "forced" and "pressure".
Seems like they could have worked something out, but neither he nor the president mentioned that they tried to, so it probably didn't happen. Life lesson for him....don't think people can read your mind. You gotta speak up.
I don't see how they successfully forced him to participate in ritual when he could have resigned his VP position at any time, or just not attend ritual (which he apparently did that). I think the threat of "physical violence" is trumped up or blown out of proportion.
That's just my speculation...
