Recruiting

Member Responsibilities

We can be sure that, in the Catholic Church, the Pope prays every day -- several times per day.  We cannot at all be sure that every person who would allow the label "Catholic" be applied to him actually "prays" every day.

But, surely, within the teachings of the Catholic Church a "good Catholic" should pray daily, or often.

In this Church, you can be sure that many of the Members pray every day, perhaps even most.  Most Members of this Church are also members of some other church -- there are many religious faiths among our Membership.  The beliefs of this Church conflict in no way with any of these. We do not "teach prayer" but we acknowledge prayer as a fine behavior for those who wish to do it.

(There are many types of behavior we denounce -- according to our moral code.  For instance we do not applaud the behavior of drug dealing and would not allow any drug dealer to be a Member of this Church.   We do not "denounce" prayer, rather we acknowledge it without teaching it.)

"Prayer" is a central part of the Catholic spiritual technology -- perhaps called the "dogma" of that church.

It is NOT any part of the teachings of THIS Church.

But, there are certain "behaviors" that are central to the existence and purpose of this Church.

Every Member, from the most senior Minister, to the newest and lowest level Member, is not just expected, but asked to prove of certain "behaviors." 

Recruiting is one of those "required behaviors."

(Doing good deeds is another -- and "doing a good deed" may well involve something as simple as digging a ditch!)

Obviously, also, it is easy to measure compliance with this Recruiting Member Duty.

In most groups you have a specialization of function -- so that virtually all commercial organizations have some people who do the selling, and others who do the bookkeeping.

There is specialization in this Church also -- we certainly have some bookkeepers and other specialized functions.

But, "recruiting" is not a specialized function -- it is the duty of every Member of the Church.

In order to become eligible for Level One, you must join in a campaign, with a monthly cost -- a campaign that is NOT organized or operated by this Church -- but one which all Members must be a part of. That campaign is described in more detail HERE.

Briefly, this campaign requires that you sign up for the monthly delivery of 36 books describing the moral code which we use, and that you then give them away.  The cost of these 36 books is about $38.25 per month.  You get 36 books delivered to you every month -- you give them away to help spread this common sense moral code.

A person would not have to become a Member of this Church in order to join this Campaign.  But, the eligibility being discussed here IS the recruiting of Members into this Church with such Membership including a required membership in this campaign.

When you sponsor others to also join this campaign, you earn a commission on two levels below you (making it an "Associate" program, not an MLM) and can quickly earn enough to make the cost of your monthly batch of books come to you at no cost. While you should not expect to get rich from participating in this campaign, some will do OK.

After you have achieved Level One Membership, you can only retain that Level (and higher Levels) by recruiting others (6 per year) into Level One also.  That means that the Church expects you to do all the recruiting for the expansion of this Church.

No kidding!  If you become a Level One Member, and do not recruit new Members into Level One, you are politely removed from Level One Membership -- per the rules.   The quota is very modest -- 6 new Members into Level One per year.  If, after one year, you have not recruited 6, then you are removed from the Level One Membership.

No matter what higher Level of Membership you might attain, there is ALWAYS the requirement that you recruit at least 6 new Members into Level One per year -- or lose your Membership Status.

No hard feelings, it is just that we intend to emphasize behavior in this Church, not promises or good intentions.  Two of those "behaviors" have to do with joining that campaign, and recruiting others into this Level.  There are more requirements, too. They are all described in this series of links from the main page of "Qualification for Membership."

Once you look over the requirements, and cost, of joining in that campaign you should agree that it should be an "easy sell" and an "inexpensive way" to "do good."

It happens that the campaign we expect you to be a part of brings no money into this Church and is operated by a 501(c)(3) organization.  When and as you make a contribution to this Church, that is also a tax deductible expenditure.

The only recruiting you would ever have to do, if you are content with a Level One Membership, is the one described above.

Other types of recruiting are encouraged, but not required, at higher levels of Church Membership.
