Question: Having had many offline meetings with other groups, and other vampires, do you share the philosophy of the Vampire Church with those you meet? What type of reception does it get? And do you feel that there is a more connected vampire community forming offline?
Greetings..
I share many things when I have meetings with both other groups and
individuals. I get a lot of questions which I have answered many
times about vampirism and the philosophy of the Vampire Church. I
usually have printed information on the Philosophy along with a copy
of the Vampire Church Newsletter. People in the public as well as
other vampire groups have generally been very receptive to the
information and how I present it. This is something I have been doing
for three decades out in the offline community and I will say that I
have had much pleasure with face to face contact with people who
desire to know more about vampirism and the Vampire Church. The
Vampire community has gone through too much discord and infighting
between different groups especially since the popularity of the
internet. You do not see the problems between groups in the offline
community like you see online between people talking behind a
keyboard. My belief here is that it is a lot harder for people to
want to make trouble and talk trash when you are face to face with
others than it is with people online. I suspect that after having
been working in the online world since 1995 that things will not
change for the better online between the diverse groups that come
along all the time. The relationship of the offline community has
been quite constant in that it remains friendly and upbeat for the
most part. I have been in many meetings during my years working in
the offline community, and I have found that people genuinely want to
solve problems and work together. This is where I have found I want
to be instead of in the usless games being played between online
groups that come and go and offer very little while they are around.
Dark regards..
