Greetings to all of our Satanic Family,

As stated in the New Year Address, there is going to be the formulation of a ranking to empower people so that the JoS and it's members can be empowered. As of now, the Joy of Satan Guardians is officially instated rank that members can achieve.

Functionally, the idea of this position is not to procure false ego, but rather to procure strong personalities and for people to understand more the value of their words, Satanic mission, provide more support and more richness of content for people in JoS, but also to facilitate understanding of one's self and the mission of Joy of Satan.

People who will attain this rank will be generally people that already have been off-mod, and therefore have proven their intentions of helping and assisting others. The purpose of this group of people will be what is said in the title of it, to procure safety and expansion inside the Joy of Satan and it's members.

The ascent to this rank could also incur descent in the case one misuses these capabilities to harm others or engage in negative behaviour more than warranted or necessary. Absence, while not recommended, will be an option if one absolutely has to go.

Noblety of behavior is expected. Not faultlessness or fakeness of course, but one is expected to shine the light that they have received from the Gods and Father Satan in a more direct way.

For example, when you have Free Posting privilege, the reason for this is to help, but also understand the value of power coming from this, how it affects others etc. Gods work in the same way in a chain of command. Organization of this kind creates space for growth and empowerment.

As the Joy of Satan expands there will be more and more people that will be necessary to take a more active role in the Forum. This of course will give them [they have to earn this by their actions] the necessary respect to grow themselves and the community.

As there are many people who contribute heavily there is going to be a specific set of emotional and logical approaches that will have to be reflected in an individual in order to make this into this rank.

According to assumed responsibilities, there will also be extended perks for these people, in due time or based on circumstance. Posting announcements, etc.

It doesn't mean that if one is in this rank automatically becomes faultless or whatever, but what is strongly insisted is that the person has a proven track record of growth and advancement on them that can be reflected on other people to accelerate the advancement and growth of all.

This level of ranking will be a pre-requisite for becoming Joy of Satan Clergy [the highest ranking], but it will not be necessitated that one becomes or has to become Clergy if they make it into this rank.

This Rank will exist on it's own purpose alongside and under supervision from Clergy. Even within the JoS Guardians not all people are going to be the same or "equal", as contributions or duties might not be the same.

The words to keep in mind is that we are like Ancient Protectors of the Truth, JoS, our people, materials, tenets, and so on.

Certain duties will be incumbent in this position, with certain benefits. You won't have to build Rome on your own. The whole ordeal will be based on teamwork, not excessive individuality. In a way, this Rank will represent the warrior protectors of the Ancient Pagan civilizations, people that protect what is right and valuable, and other people.

One will have to certainly spend sometime helping others and doing work of JoS as one probably is already doing to find themselves into this rank. We will be working closely and like a brotherhood to advance this place under Satan and the Gods, counteract problems, and keep the community safe and existing.

Invitations are going to be sent and there will be conversation for those who want to engage in a known or nameless manner. Some people have already told me that they will be part of this, but without being public on the forum, assisting externally or in other necessary ways.

People who want to will be announced here and possibly have their User Account changed to a different color. We are looking into how it will be obvious. Some of you have already been informed a month ago, etc.

It does not mean that if one doesn't make it to this case one isn't trusted, cared for or loved, because as explained, there will be some specific duties and expectations from people in this rank. The Gods do indeed get satisfied when people rise in this way, as it reflects in a small scale way how they operate.

Certain people need expansions in order to advance personally too. It's false to think that our life only has to do solely with ourselves, because that's only the case of a very primary level. As people advance, one naturally might move further. Azazel told me of this before, and that is necessary therefore that this process takes place.

Therefore the purpose except of external is to facilitate the evolution of certain individuals that need to advance further. One can continue to receive their merits and glory in their own way as the group recognizes these directly as it is.

Any soul that works for Father Zeus is valued by Father Zeus and that is well known.

Yet the above will help to formalize this and give others who might be currently joining and advancing a sense of safety and guidance in that others will always be here to help them like older Brothers must help the younger ones.

Joy of Satan Guardians is now instated, glory to the members that will carry the Satanic Banner and hold it high.

May the Gods bless us all in continued overflowing power and capacity.

HAIL SATAN!!!!
