Lets say that I tell you something nice that makes you happy and you give me $5 for it.
Then you tell me something nice that makes me happy and I give you $5.
We are both happier than before we met.
It's a win-win situation.
Is there anything material about it?
No, it's completely spiritual.
You got it backwards. I don't want people to pay to receive blessings. I want people to give blessings and then get paid.
That pretty little story you wrote here has nothing to do with what you suggest in your OP.
Plain and simple you suggest people should have to pay to express themselves on our forum (doesn't matter if it is certain sections or all, it is the same in practice).
This cute little story of how everyone will be so happy when we all share our wealth with each other and pay some credits to each other to show our appreciation is an imaginary reality which literally has nothing to do with this idea to gatekeep forum participation behind a paywall.
We also do not need a donator club exclusively for people who donate to the Joy of Satan, because donations are entirely voluntary, you do not see anyone trying to flex how much they donate, or try to use this to validate themselves, as practically everyone who donates does so purely out of their desire to support this manifestation of Satan's will on Earth, with no other motive whatsoever.
There are already rewards given to people who donate (as I explained, the Gods directly show their appreciation for those who support the Joy of Satan monetarily in very direct manner) which are of greater value than plain material things like access to an exclusive donator club where all the cool people with fat purses hang out.
Neither should people feel like they need to get paid for posting here, as participation is voluntary and not monetary. It is the wrong incentive for this.
People get paid for participating, in ways that are often deeper and greater than the people themselves can even understand until many years down the line when they obtain the spiritual attainment and understanding to realize how much they have received in return for their presence and participation.
Perhaps this concept is difficult for one such as you to understand, however blessings are given regularly to practicing SS, even if they do not donate or participate much on the forum.
This includes monetary stability as well, as I know many can attest to.
About mods and others who do work for the Joy of Satan, almost all of it is entirely voluntary. I know a few people who do things for the Joy of Satan in official capacity, and all these people have the same thing in common.
If HP HoodedCobra would offer to pay them, they would refuse outright.
They would rather this money be used for the maintenance and expansion of the Joy of Satan instead, as none of what they do for the Joy of Satan is to receive praise, blessings, payment or status.
They decided to apply for certain things because they earnestly wished to help uphold the Joy of Satan with the best of their abilities, even for absolutely nothing in return, because there is no greater Joy to them than to see the Joy of Satan and its membership succeed in all endeavors and on all levels.
For this, the work of capable, trustworthy and loyal individuals is required.
There are many people, with great skills, ability and dedication who willingly sign up to spend hours of their time, voluntarily, on the continuous improvement and betterment of the Joy of Satan, who want nothing in return, not from the Joy of Satan nor from the Gods, while they put in their greatest effort and all their ability, heart, soul and labor.
The Joy of Satan stands and exists because of people like them, who uphold it willingly, regardless if this would be considered an expense to them or a difficult thing.
Many of them also donate to the Joy of Satan on top of that. It is upheld through the combined will and efforts of everyone involved, and money has never been an aim or factor on this for the people in on this.
Yet because the Gods are generous, empathic, understanding and appreciative of these efforts, everyone who participates like that certainly does receive much more in return. Things which cannot be obtained anywhere else or from any other source.
Not everyone is suited to that, which is why there are only select few people who are able to do this at this time, however you should understand the Joy of Satan is not as empty and flimsy as any average place.
We attract the people which we need to fulfill the goals set for the Joy of Satan by the Gods.
The right people with the will to put in their efforts entirely voluntarily, to help the Joy of Satan succeed in all the endeavors.
Through the combined will and effort of many, all the SS doing the rituals, doing online warfare, donating, even meditating, the Joy of Satan pushes forward and upholds against all odds the ancient beliefs, justice, tenets and ideologies which have been perverted and forgotten.
It is a joint effort of likeminded souls, many of which have stood and fought for this for ages, and have given everything, literally everything for this to keep True Spirituality and the memory of the Gods alive throughout the past thousands of years.
Those souls deserve the most abundant rewards for their service to Satan and the Gods, their sacrifices, and labors, which is not ignored by the Gods and is seen to by them for each individual.
Perhaps now you realize how ridiculously insulting this stupid suggestion of yours truly is, if you think the Joy of Satan is so flimsy and petty to have to rely on such predatory methods to uphold itself and it's continued operation.
Hail Satan!
