PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
AND NON-DISCLOSURE ADDENDUM
* * * * * * *
PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
This Private Membership Agreement, hereinafter referred to as “Agreement”, is entered into and made effective as of 04/06/2023 by and between the following Parties:
The TeachME Life Skills Guild (the “Guild”), a private membership association - an integrated auxiliary of Unity of Divine Creation Administration, under God, without the United States,
and
(“Member”), a living, breathing, sentient being, child of God, without the United States, who is of the age of majority and discretion and is of sound mind.
For and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein, the Parties to this Agreement do hereby represent, warrant, affirm and agree as follows:
- AGE OF MAJORITY, CAPACITY TO CONTRACT. Member is of the age of majority and discretion, is of sound mind, is of sufficient intellect and reasoning to understand both the terms of the Agreement and their significance, and has full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract and to assume the rights and obligations set out in this Agreement.
- GUILD OPERATIONS TO REMAIN PRIVATE. The Guild is a private member association that operates under God’s law and is intended to be maintained and operated exclusively in private and outside of any public forum. We do not engage the public forum in any way. To the extent that we offer anything outside of membership, it is exclusively as a charitable offering in keeping with our administration to the world. The Member will strive in good faith to maintain the private nature of the Guild, its members, its mission, and its collective efforts, including by honouring and adhering in good faith to the terms of the Non-Disclosure Addendum of this Agreement, below.
- MISSION STATEMENT. In good conscience and in good faith, without objection, Member hereby adopts and agrees to the stated philosophy, principles and beliefs reflected in the following Mission Statement of InPrivate International Health Guild:
We are a private member association of men and women of faith and strong moral principles. We affirm that all of our rights including the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the freedom of assembly are God-given. We assemble as a private community of like-minded men and women standing peaceably to protect and enforce the natural inalienable and unalienable rights afforded to us by Nature’s God. Mark 4:11 states that it is given to us to know the mystery of the kingdom, which mystery we interpret to be our freedom as heirs to the kingdom.
We believe the Holy Bible to be the authoritative source of most systems of law in the modern world (many legal systems are heavily based on Roman Canonical Law, for example), hence, key to securing our rights and freedoms. We do not espouse any religion or form of spiritual practice, nor do we proselytize. We live by the two great commandments from which all law emanates: to love God with all our heart, soul and mind, and to love our neighbour as ourselves. We fulfil these tenets by acts of love, kindness, and service with honour, dignity and respect to our fellow man. We are not at war. We strive always to be at peace with all men, without compromise to our divine inheritance in fee simple absolute.
- PHILOSOPHY AND METHODOLOGY. The Guild models its administration, philosophy, methodology, protocols and procedures applying the principles of Christianity as founded in the Holy Bible (including the 1611 King James version) on the basis of their almost universal application to the world systems of law and governance. The Guild does not endorse religion. It applies Biblical principle without prejudice to any religion or spiritual practices, or the absence thereof. The Guild operates from the premise that the Bible is the authoritative source of most systems of law in the modern world and our divine inheritance as heirs to the kingdom of God. Just as the Bible has been used as the foundation of the world systems that enslave the masses, it also contains the wisdom to unlock the mystery of the kingdom. Member hereby, in good conscience and in good faith, without objection, expressly adopts and agrees to the Guild’s philosophy and methodology as set out in the Mission Statement in Paragraph 3, above, and in this Paragraph 4.
- TERMS OF GOOD STANDING, TERMINATION. Member shall be entitled to all the benefits and privileges of membership in the Guild so long as Member shall maintain good standing, including being current in monthly minimum membership donations, continued adherence to, and living and walking in accord with the stated intent and spirit of the Guild Mission Statement (¶ 3 above) and the Philosophy and Approach (¶ 4 above), and adherence otherwise to all terms of this Agreement, including the Non-Disclosure Agreement Addendum herein below. Membership shall not extend to family members above the age of eighteen (18), who shall be required to become members subject to the terms of their own agreement themselves. Member affirms and agrees that failure to make the suggested minimum monthly membership donations (if applicable) in a timely manner for a period of three (3) months or more may subject the member to termination at the absolute and exclusive discretion of the Guild. Member further affirms and agrees that any conduct that is, within the absolute and exclusive discretion and determination of the Guild, discordant or out of step with the principles and terms of the Guild Mission Statement (3 above) and the Philosophy and Methodology (4 above), or that constitutes other material breach of this Agreement may result in immediate termination of membership. No action or inaction on the part of the Guild under this provision shall constitute waiver of the Guild’s right to exercise its rights and duties under this provision at any time within its absolute and exclusive discretion.
