indeed. banners i say, and advertisement.... maybe not paid ads, that would drain money.... and i'm in no position to supplement that!

but yes, definately getting the word out.

That is why I have friends. I was hoping if enough of my friends knew about this place they would know others that would be interested to and could recommend it to them. I was hoping more for the "Word of Mouth" concept than having to rely on banners and such.

^_^ word of mouth does work greatly. i have alreday convinced another member to join, Angel, who is my Slave Rebecca's boyfriend and Slave. he got on just the other night at my request. i later that night Ordained him so he could be a member of my clergy.

That is very cool and is something I was hoping to highly rely on. Victor was complaining of not really knowing anyone here and I told him the point of a forum is to get involved in discussions and such to try and make new friends and find where you stand with yourself on an intellectual and social scale, at least that is how I view it.

I find it amusing, you have clergy, I have guardians. I hope to eventually have priests and priestesses in training under me as well, but I am not yet quite a truly good priestess myself yet and I do not intend to ordain anyone unless Luna instructs my senses otherwise.

indeed. i agree with your view.

and i feel that i AM being called to establish my clergy. building up my congregation and all that.

Well once I get my power cord for my printer I plan on getting ordained by the 'Universal Life Church". ^_^

You feel called to establish clergy while I look at it as gathering supporters and like-minded individuals together to start a brand new positive movement and cause in building a temple/place that will mean true growth for the mind, body, and spirit. ^_^ Similar goals I just word things differently. ^_-

heheh. *smirks.* indeed. i am realy happy to hear of the big step you are taking, will you be gettiing the official title of Druid, or is it notworth the 12 -25 (can't remember exactly) that it costs to get the certificate? i personally suggest the wallet credentials, that is what i got. it a card so it feels right and won't have to deal with hanging or framing a piece of paper or getting it lamenated.

They've got that somewhere? I thought you'd have to like go into a special office or something to get that fixed, cause I was actually thinking either Druid or Priestess for title. Then again if I get the temple built I'll technically be the Grove Mother which would be sucky if I did not have that title on paper/record. lol XD But I didn't think The ULC offered that.

they do, just go to their online shoppe. after all, they tell you to go their after you get Ordained so you can purchase your credentials and hav ethem shipped. it would be a good idea to then purchase any equippment you may need, or any title you may want to be known as instead of Reverend. as much as i like the sound of Rev. Zachery C. Hall myself, i know i'll prefer Dr. Zachery C. Hall, or Rev. Dr. Zachery C. Hall. so when i get the money for that i am going to buy the Doctorite of Divinity. i didn't at the time cause i wanted to give it time till i felt truely qualified for that much. i'm odd like that, i know... heh...

now anyway, you can get both the certificate Credentials AND wallet credentials if you like, or, for the best amount of influence simply your wallet credentials and certificate of title, be it Master of Wicca/Jedi Knight/Doctorite of Divinity/whatever, or just the Honorific title of whatever you'd have. in this case, the Wallet Credentials and Certificate of Title as a Druid.

Hmm...interesting. Perhaps I will need to set aside some more money first and foremost before I do this then. If I have more options this would be very nice indeed.

*nods.* ^_^ indeed. but yes, they offer nearly infinite options as far as titles go. but while they say that Ordination is free the fact of the matter is that any proof isn't, and titles will cost money as well.

Indeed. Thank you Twilight you have done me a great service.

no problem.
