These are instructions for Church members to follow after recruiting new members to join the Church, to complete the new member indoctrination and induction process. - Ask the new member to say, "I pledge to uphold Metaversalist ethics, follow the rules of the Church of Metaversalism, and contribute to the glory of the Metaverse." (Refer them to the linked pages if needed.
- Tell the member to anoint themselves as specified in the church rules. After this, they are a Church member.
- Add the new member's information to the Member List. Be sure to assign them the smallest unused member number. Make up an appropriate and/or facetious title for them. Don't provide their real name (or even their pseudonym) unless they say it's OK.
- Tell your mentor (whoever recruited you) that you have recruited a new member, and ask them to give you administrator privileges so you can set up the new account.
- Sign into the Portal Page at start.metaversalism.com using your username (which is your member number) and your password.
- Click on "Manage this domain" just below the gray area to the right of your email address.

- If you have the user's email address, fill it in on the "To:" line and hit "Send Instructions." Otherwise, copy and paste the text into a message in whatever medium you have been using to communicate with the user (e.g. private messages on wis.dm), and send it to them that way.
