Leaving the forums to "advance"

[SapphireDragon]

I just want to elaborate on how this is so unnecessary! You can advance and be active here as well. If you find yourself talking to others too much, it's perfectly ok to talk less. But you don't have to leave your community behind to become more advanced. We have many members who still are present here who have advanced immensely, some of them are just here to read our posts and only engage when it's of importance to them and that is ok. They're still with us and that's what matters.

What I'm trying to say, is aside from the usual troll who attacks us, and says they're cutting us off to "advance", with the intentions of never returning... it's not necessary to cut off the forums when doing long-term work on yourself. You don't have to be AS active during your time of self healing and repair, but do still come here and be apart of your Jos family. How else will you know when we have group rituals? And maybe there will be someone asking a question about something you're passionate about, or know a lot about that you can answer!

Don't leave behind your family and your community. You can have both self reflection and the support of your Jos community. We need both! We need working on ourselves, confiding in the Gods, studying the Jos website, AND being a part of our community here. Being here grounds us, it helps reveal perhaps irrational thinking we've starting leaning into, and perhaps negativity we're still holding onto. It reveals knowledge and truths. When you engage with your community it becomes a group effort of lifting each other up, and helping one another so that we can learn from each other and start fixing the issues we can't see, the issues we've become blind to that become apparent through communication.

Isolating yourself for too long can cause blindness towards issues that have begun that you aren't aware of! You can lose focus on what's important. Communication is key, it reminds us we aren't alone. So please reconsider if you're thinking you have to cut us off to go advance, because you absolutely do not have to do that. Don't listen to the trolls who say negative things about this group, and don't worry we are always here for you and for each other. We have answers to any questions you may have, don't think you have to do this alone. Not only do you have Father Satan and the Gods, you have us too. We are here, proof you aren't alone. Proof you will never be alone.

Hail Satan! And good luck to you on your advancement.

Very true, in fact I check here daily, mostly for new sermons, announcements, and posts I may find interesting. Occasionally, someone will ask a question I believe I can help with and I'll try to answer them. It's not like Xtian churches were they browbeat you into showing up because the (((bible))) says so, and to praise jewsus or you must "repent".

Very true. I occasionally stumble across a post that helps me personally, and I would not have had that if I didn't come here. These forums and the sense of community are very important.

Beautiful post! Well said.

Being able to remain active, or especially to do more, increasing your capacity to support your community whiteout neglecting your spiritual advancement, is also a form of advancement.

One can do both and maintain both. Perhaps the way one involves in the community will change as you advance, or it can change depending on what you need to focus on personally at times, but complete abandonment, contrary to what some think, won't benefit your advancement.

Ones ability and capacity to support the JoS and support our community should grow together with your advancement rather than the opposite.

There are always things to do, and things to work towards. Being present on the forum regularly, especially if you are actively advancing, also inspires newer members, strengthening their sense of belonging to the JoS, as they can see a community filled with stars every where they look, rather than an empty house shrouded in the dark.

Hail Satan!

Is also very important not to give conversation to obvious trolls who only seek to waste our time and cause agitation.

I can only hope when people say they're "leaving" they're not seriously forgetting to check here daily.

Not checking daily for new wisdom or the latest post of HPHC would be almost forgivable if we weren't at war right now.

Unless you already know/have someone who will relay ritual schedules, not being here daily may as well be tantamount to deserting your duty to destroy the enemy. Anyone serious about advancement and the truth of the enemy should be here daily if they don't have a fellow SS friend who updates them.

Anyone who leaves apparently wasn't very useful if they don't realize this simple fact.

I know, I should probably be more careful of responding to some of them, It really is a waste of time and there is to reasoning to be found in most of them. I'm coming from a place though that if someone asks a question, an answer is deserved because if they are just a kid with free time stirring up trouble, and not taking things seriously then it'll help them think. But even if I was coming from a place like this where I mean well. Some of them are malicious enemies and the words are truly wasted and possibly fueling the fire. I try not to viciously attack back in my responses though. But, perhaps responding at all is the issue. Thank you, I'll try to be better in my approach.

Also, I shouldn't have responded to the trolls on the recent post our HP made but I got riled up because they were trying to slander our Hp and members over a sensitive situation like that. Them posting that garbage, It was greatly disrespectful and it made me sick, but that's what they wanted. They don't deserve any reaction at all, you are correct. I will do better and I will not let their disrespect cause me to give them the reactions they want anymore.That ends now.

Everyone so far has put great replies and I agree with all of them and would like to add on that being communicative on here does help people grow in character for the better. Not only do I say this from seeing others happen to them but also from personal experience. Getting "checked" as the saying goes by honest people who are giving honest constructive criticism and not just being emotional as others has helped me realize things about myself that I needed to fix.

Moments I have gone without replying to anything I was still checking up on the forums and being part of group rituals while working on myself.

Making this community grow and become better is just as important as us advancing in my opinion.

Yes absolutely growth isn't just personal to the individual. We aren't meant to be isolated and cut off to just ourselves. We are meant to work together, to grow together. To pay forward the knowledge we've been given to other's who need it too.

The God's help us and we help each other. We were meant to be a thriving community from the very beginning. Because we are meant to be an extension of Father Satan and the Gods. A never ending cycle of learning, love, help, and lifting each other up. That is how empires of greatness are built and how they last eternal. That is why Father Satan and the Gods of hell are the most powerful beings in existence.

Teamwork, unity, learning, teaching it's all from them and it's a need, we have it deep in our souls to do the same, to do good and to help one another. We weren't made to be isolated hermits. There wouldn't be so many of us if we weren't supposed to be a community.
