How to join the ZDK Network (or a Dept. or Branch)

Welcome! Welcome! You have just made one of the most important steps in your life. And we are greatly pleased that you are giving some serious thought to joining the rest of us at the ZDK Network. Come on in, and make yourself at home!

Joining ASTARIA and ZDK is not hard nor difficult. However, there are a few steps and some requirements that you need to understand. So, take a few moments and get a good look. Be sure that you understand what we are saying, here.

REALM REQUIREMENTS:

What does it take to join Our Realm Network?

Well, it is not complex!

But, we do have 3 main general requirements:

[Scandia Faith Shield 1. VARANGIAN PLEDGE:
In keeping with the Mediavel flavor and atmosphere of Our Realm, we have set forth the minimum requirements that you will be able to make and keep the Varangian Pledge. If you are unsure of what all is involved here, then follow the link below, where it will be detailed for you.

To get VARANGIAN PLEDGE (Click Here): [Varangian Pledge]

[Viking Ship Shield 2. NOAHIC RULES:
To be acceptable for entering Membership with Our (Spiritual) Realm, you will be required to meet the minimum standards as set forth in Our Traditional Noahic Rules of Fellowship. If you are unsure as to what all is involved here, then follow the link below, that will give you an Article explaining it all (*** PG ***).

To get NOAHIC RULES (Click Here): [Noahic Rules of Fellowship]

[Divine LAW Shield 3. KEEPING COMMANDMENTS:
To maintain your Membership (as well as fulfill your Pledge, above), you will be required to uphold and observe the 10 Commandments, as set forth in the Holy Scriptures (and as taught and interpreted by Our Realm). If you are unsure about what God's Commandments (and Laws) are, then follow the link below to Our Law Library, where it will be laid out for you in great detail.

Really, it is that simple! So, come on! Join up, now!

DUES???

There is no set Membership fee. However, if you are concerned enough to become a Member, it is hoped that you will also be concerned enough to support Our Realm. Consequently, a donation should accompany your Membership (of a sum of your choosing--or fitting with your pocketbook). And, as a Member, you should contribute regularly and substantially as you grow in Our World. (And, keep in mind that some have limited finances, so if you are blessed and can give to make up their lack, please do so.) Send donations to:
Shaddox Treasury House
P.O. Box 44
Underwood, WA 98651 USA

Also, remember that your Membership rights of voting and seeking an office are based on you maintaining a status of Good Standing with us. Which, in turn, means that you have been contributing regularly and substantially to Our Realm. For, those who do not contribute support for Our Realm will not have a say in how it is run.

[Celestial Nobles Shield

AGE LIMIT???

Unfortunately, as of this writing, ZDK has no Youth Program. (While KoReY is seeking Young Adults (college age 18 - 29+), we do NOT yet have a Teen or Children's Program.) So, you need to be an adult--age 18 or older--to join. Sorry!

However, if you happen to have the abilities and qualifications to help head up some kind of Youth Program, we would like to hear from you!

2. LIST DEPARTMENT OR BRANCH AT END OF SUBJECT BOX:
If you are seeking membership with just one of Our Programs (such as NORDESEL, EMUSPATEL, APPIRU, KoReY, etc.), be sure to indicate that by putting the Branch Name, after MEMBERSHIP. If you are seeking general ZDK Membership, then put ASTARIA, instead (or if you are seeking religious leader status with us, put ZDK).

3. MAKE PLEDGE:
To show that you will make the Varangian Pledge, type in the first line of the message box (not the subject box) as: I AGREE TO THE VARANGIAN PLEDGE. (Then, skip a line.)

4. CERTIFY ACCEPTABILITY:
To show that you are curently meeting the minimum standards, type in the second line as: I CERTIFY THAT I CURRENTLY MEET THE NOAHIC RULES OF FELLOWSHIP. (Then, skip another line.)

5. PROMISE OBSERVANCE:

6. IDENTIFY YOURSELF AT THE END OF YOUR APPLICATION:
Anonymous applications will not be read and will simply be deleted. So, if you want serious consideration, be sure to sign your real name to your application. (Net pseudonyms or handles should also indicate your full, legal name.)

7. GIVE YOUR FULL RETURN ADDRESS:
If you expect acceptance, then be sure to give your full mailing address and telephone number--after your name (above). These address listing will NOT be given out nor sold to outside sources. But, they will be used by ZDK staff and Members to help contact you and get you more involved with ZDK Programs and Activities.

(Also, if you happen to have a Web Site of your own, please list that as well, after your e-mail.)

[Information Age (Sun) Shield

ALLOW PROCESSING TIME

Keep in mind that ZDK is not a business with hired staff. We are run mainly by volunteers, who work when they can. Moreover, depending on what program or campaign we are running, our e-mail box can be jammed full of replies--along with your e-mail. So, don't be surprized if it takes a week to 10 days to get a reply. On the other hand, if you haven't heard from us in a couple of weeks, it is worth sending us another e-mail. (And be sure that you followed all the above steps, correctly.)
