The list is pretty exhaustive, and yet any one local group does not honor every ritual date on the calendar. There will be several per month, but not every date mentioned.
Meetings take place at night while the person (front alter/s) have gone to sleep. A cult-loyal alter switches out and they go to the meetings, or rituals, getting back home to their bed before about 4 or 5 am. The front alter wakes up, often still tired, maybe with a bit of a headache ...thinking they slept all night, but have no idea why they're feeling so tired.
For some (or many), there are family members in the house, or a spouse, who cues out those alters at night, and then they are taken to meetings or rituals. Meetings are very often on a military base or some other government facility, even underground. Many of my earliest memories (from ages 2 and 3) are of military bases and underground bases. They are massive, like a whole city underground.
Cult-loyal alters are conditioned from the time the person is very young to believe they are "special" and "chosen" ....and that what they are doing has great importance. But when they begin to realize they've been lied to, and often they will begin reaching out to God ...and the programming begins to lose hold ever so little. That's when the front alter/s usually begin to get memories, and become consciously aware of some things ....like odd phone calls, or threatening messages, or (like you mentioned) being in a public place and a stranger calls them by another name, etc. Or, they'll begin having "dreams" that tie into their day time experiences. (The "dreams" are things that cult alters did during the night that ....if ever remembered, the person is conditioned to repeat, "it's only just a dream" or some similar phrase to cover and redissociate those memory-dreams.) That is something that happened to me all my life. Maybe this is something I should post in my other thread to keep this one more on topic.
It is all against the will of the person, as they were an infant when trauma began, often in the womb. So they are broken and shattered before they are given a chance to develop their sense of self (as a whole). They are placed into impossible situations and forced to choose (the lesser evil). That's why I so hate the mantra people use about voting for "the lesser evil." That is so totally a cult tactic .... it's unreal. (Votes don't count anyway. Our leaders are chosen by the committee of 300 that sits under the council of 13.)
Sigh .....this is a lot, and not a complete answer.
