"I AM the Way"Obviously He was NOT the Way.
I sincerely hope that you use this Sunday and every Sunday as an opportunity to delve into what our Cult of Cthulhu is really about.Compare: The Church of Satan, The Satanic Bible, and The Black Mass. These conventional term adoptions should be regarded as indicators of internal corruption and ignorance.
You demanded that your environment and your subordinates adapt to you, and they departed. You destroyed the sum of your members and are in the cult no more.
This is a sham and a lie and you proved it well by betraying those you originally trusted with your inconsistent and irrational actions.
You wouldn't know what an open religion was if it was served up to you on a platter. You created a private closed hierarchy until it became obvious that its insularity was contrary to your fame. You maintained a paranoid grasp on a pyramidal delusion until being shown up as duplicitous.
{1}...I shall do what benefits the Old Ones and Their spawn; whatever is fruitful, righteous, and pleasurable is the way.
{2}...I shall respect and honor the Cult of Cthulhu along with its members and vision. ....1. "Serve the gods and do as ye will." 2. "Remain loyal to the group using the board." Except that you did not heed your own demand for #2, and this broke the cult's trust.
{The Guidelines}
1. Within your first 10 posts or two weeks, whichever comes first, on the CoC discussion boards {please} submit your introduction to the Introduction Board. Introductions {should not be} one-line pronouncements that you are here. Please elaborate while putting your best tentacle forward.This is the most reasonable guideline amongst the batch. Most of the next were stylistic and negligible, attempts to control expression and set a standard for what would not be sustained (mutual respect), or technical restraint on an inferior system.
{2}. ...We achieve understanding through asking questions, stating our beliefs, and questioning every paradigmal aspect which rears its polyp-fruiting head. Reality is an interpretive medium; its exploration, a subjective form of expression.'Reality' is a singular noun like a truck which, when it meets up at high speeds with one's head and squashes it like a watermelon no amount of "interpretation" will change the terminal outcome.
{3}. ...Being an expert in the occult and nothing else is a shallow and anemic existence. The real world isn't just a place for magical experiments, it's the place where we all live. So, make an impact on that world in whatever way you can. Work towards excellence ....Too many presume themselves experts in this shallow pool and narrow arena. The disciplines studied in ethnomagicology are many and varied. None being sacrosanct, presupposition, either due to imagined thought-force battles, or in exchange of clever quips, that one's methods are favoured by Fate or the Powers That Be, should be subjected to the greatest level of scrutiny.
I suggest all manner of deliberation on such poor manners or strife be taken to cordoned private zones which any may ask to join but none are expected. Those with actual technical leverage ought provide decisions on all disputes or infractions, minimizing penalty and censure.
Only a single warning can be given per post. Warnings can only be given out by a member of the Priesthood. Warnings are to be given publicly and clearly stated why they have been issued. Any forum member may review and critique the offender's behavior and necessity of the warning openly.It should not be forgotten what a distraction such contention and dispute shall be upon the purpose for which those come to the forum.
I am the ultimate authority and final arbiter of these guidelines and rules. I strongly encourage all Cultists to assist me in enforcing them.Final arbiters run contrary to the chaotic mess Cthulhu must be presumed to desire of his cult.
The greater the number of ranks of hierarchy involved the more resentment and duplicity may be expected to arise in response to it.

"I AM the Way"
Throughout Sunday ....
I sincerely hope that you use this Sunday and every Sunday as an opportunity to delve into what our Cult of Cthulhu is really about.
Except this thread and any like it which the Dominant cultist locks down. So much for that theory.
...We adapt to our environment, and we are greater than the sum of our members. This is a spiritual, philosophical, and magical collective of individuals who wish to transform.
...The Cthulhu Cult is strong because we are one for all and all for one, no matter what we face. That is the nature of brotherhood, Left Hand Path brotherhood especially. I would not have it another way.
...I decided to create an open religion rather than a closed order. ....
The following are guidelines for negotiating the Cult of Cthulhu discussion boards. The only rules I demand you follow and urge you to embody, at this point, are the sacred Oaths which every Cultist lives by.
{1}...I shall do what benefits the Old Ones and Their spawn; whatever is fruitful, righteous, and pleasurable is the way.
{2}...I shall respect and honor the Cult of Cthulhu along with its members and vision. ....

...{For} the first infraction {of threat, insult, and harassment} will {merit} a warning. The second infraction will {deserve} a 48 }hour} leave of absence from the forum. The third infraction necessitates a review of the individual's overall contribution to the Cult. Those found wanting will face either an extended ban or expulsion from the forum and possibly the Cult as a whole.
