A Note for Lurkers, Trolls, and Brothers in Conflict. This space is not neutral. Skool, for me, isn’t a marketing funnel or a drama stage. It’s a working lab where real people, made in the image of God, wrestle with fear, identity, conscience, and calling. Because of that, I need to say a few things clearly—for sincere members, for quiet lurkers, and for the occasional troll who wanders in looking for ammo.⸻
- People are not demons. But demons love using people.
I believe:
• Every human here is imago Dei.
• Some of the behavior we’re seeing—anonymous accusations, slander, screenshot gossip, misrepresentation—is not coming from the Spirit of God.
• Scripture names that:
• false witness,
• gossip,
• sowing discord,
• accusation of the brethren.So when I say “demon watch,” I am not dehumanizing anyone. I’m acknowledging that:There are spirits in play in our culture that feed on fear, confusion, and character assassination. I intend to resist those, while still praying for the humans they’re riding.⸻
- How this community handles trolls, gossip, and misrepresentation
What I will NOT do:
• I will not engage in comment wars to win points.
• I will not use this space to subtweet individuals or run smear campaigns.
• I will not host anonymous, vague “concerns” about third parties with no willingness to follow Matthew 18 or basic due process.What I WILL do:
• I will document. If someone lies about me, my friends, or this work, I treat it as evidence, not entertainment.
• I will use lawful tools (RTK requests, documentation, written records) instead of gossip.
• I will protect this community from spiritual contamination: chronic slander, trolling, or bad-faith participation may be quietly removed.
• I will invite anyone with a real concern into adult conversation: evidence, context, time to listen, time to repent.If you’re here in good faith, you are safe.
If you’re here in bad faith, you’re still loved—but you’re not going to run the room.⸻
- For the quiet lurker who actually is seeking
Maybe you’re here because:
• You heard my name in a story you’re not sure you can trust.
• You saw a screenshot, a snippet, or a thread and you’re trying to decide if I’m crazy, dangerous, or just inconvenient.
• You’re hurt by the same institutions I’m criticizing, and you’re afraid of being fooled again.Here’s my offer: • You do not owe me your agreement.
• You do not have to post or comment.
• You are invited to:
• listen fully,
• compare what I say with Scripture,
• watch my patterns over time.If you ever want to move from lurking to honest dialogue, you’re welcome to reach out. But you are under zero pressure to “pick a side” in someone else’s conflict story.⸻
- For the troll who came here to gather intel
If you’re here to:
• harvest screenshots,
• build a case file,
• feed anonymous complaints,
• or weaponize my words without context—I want you to know three things:
- I assume you exist. You don’t have to shock me. You’re already in the risk assessment.
- I will not chase you. I don’t need to track you down, unmask you, or get even. That’s not my job description.
- I will not play your game. I’ll stay in:
• documentation,
• lawful process,
• the fear of God,
• and the commands of Jesus.If you eventually want to repent, talk, or tell the truth, the door is wider than you think. Until then, please understand: I love you as a neighbor, and I will still guard this community from your behavior.⸻
- Demon Watch = Guardrails, not paranoia
Practically, that means:
• I reserve the right to remove posts or members that are clearly here to disrupt, slander, or harm.
• I’ll be transparent with my core members about patterns of harassment or misrepresentation without turning this into a gossip feed.
• I will keep pointing us back to:
• confession instead of pretending,
• accountability instead of secrecy,
• Scripture instead of vibes,
• and the cross instead of revenge.If you are here to grow, to repent, to rebuild, to learn—welcome.
If you’re here for a demon assignment, understand that the assignment has been noted, named, and surrendered to Someone higher than both of us.We will continue our work.— Ryan
