official Cultists? about two dozen. we just got a new one this past week and i'm still waiting on a few soon-to-be's. i'm happy with where the numbers are at... and most importantly, the quality of members.
i'm also happy to report that the CoC has several hundred unofficial supporters. i hear from new individuals daily about their fascination and/or pleasure regarding our activities.

i put my ideas out there and encourage people, but i mostly wait for them to hear the Call and come to me.
as for evil, that depends on what your definition is. i advocate ritual murder, hedonism, and worshiping monsters... so i guess that puts me up there.

Well, I guess Cthulhu takes care of that for the most part.

So when does the Cult become a Church?

never. in most people's eyes, a church will always have white light / Right Hand Path associations. too much social respectability with a church. the Cult of Cthulhu will always be a dangerous, underground collection of outsiders.

I like your way of thinking.
Obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be here.

Yeah, all you have to do is look a the Church of Satan !! Started off good but then things went awry.
No one will ever ask us to be nice, cower, or lay down to some benevolent authority. Cultists just cut people's throats (metaphyically). ;D

i don't mind at all.
i believe there is an afterlife for some. through understanding, Will, and constant struggle one can overcome death. consciousness has the potential to exist after and beyond our bodies. however, for most human beings there is only death and whatever is left of their spirit or essence gets recycled back into a giant "soul pool". but as i said, a few can escape, existing as "themselves" in another plane or dimension.

VS The way I see it, the Cult is the sort of Mother Organization kept behind the scenes in a sort of mythological context. The Grottoes will be the extensions of the Cult in the foreground, dedicated to this or that principle, making certain to spread the knowledge of the A:O in whatever ways deemed fit by themselves, and the High Priest. One could almost wonder, philosophically, whether all religious institiutions are actually extensions of the Cult, unbeknownst to themselves. -H.

yes, that's one possibility. or it could be the reverse with the CoC itself in the foreground and each individual Grotto operating secretly in the shadows...
i quite agree.
