However I’d like to add. If a person with their actions leads even one gentile soul with good potential away from Satanism, basically they have done too much damage than one could realistically make up for.
That one gentile soul led away from spiritual Satanism due to ones actions, can constitute to one potential God be lost forever. If one becomes a God themselves, this does balance out and your potential can outweigh theirs at that point, but only then.
People with such weak resolve that can be so easily turned away don't make it far regardless. I doubt anyone who actually took Satanism seriously quit Satanism all-together because of online drama or falling into lies or stupidity of others.
I'm sure there are many old-time members that we don't hear from anymore, who still practice Satanism on a daily basis, but simply have stopped using the boards for one reason or another.
I know many people confuse using the forums with spiritual progress but this is not the case. You have people who have used the forums for years and have made little if any progress and in most cases it shows. And in my opinion, people who get entangled in petty drama, and aren't mature enough to move on after it's settled, were probably never on that path to begin with.
For some people, strength needs to be fostered and nurtured. Just because they're shaky right now doesn't mean they will always be. An athlete doesn't start out that way with their body in top physical condition, and even if some people have inner strength from the very start - those people aren't 100% of the population. Some people just need a bit of support, and there's nothing wrong with that. Inner strength and strength of resolve can be fostered, but you make it sound like if they don't have it right now from the start then they will never have it. That's not necessarily true. If they're here to begin with then that means they made it here, and that itself takes strength and sets them aside from most in society. But because of them getting turned away, we won't know for sure how they would have transformed going forward if they stayed. That's called a loss. Not just to them, but to all of us.
About the forums: Even if participation on the forums doesn't = spiritual progress, spiritual progress can be observed and noted over time for people who do participate. A person's progress and growth over time can be seen and measured, and I think that's a very beautiful thing to witness. You have a point about certain types of people, but I wanted to add a glass-half-full perspective as well. This forum is an introduction to Satanism for a lot of people, and I think that needs to be factored in as well. It's just the way the world is right now. It's not like we have mystery schools or anything, or any form of uncorrupted spirituality in society aside from the JoS. So the forums are a safe place for people to come to learn and grow and develop, and also to be part of an actual spiritual community that is hostile to corrosive jewish elements. To be chased away from here is tragic in my opinion, for those who don't deserve to be sent away. I spent my whole life looking for a place like the JoS. I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on this because of a few toxic people who need to get their shit together.
