How to Leave
The Short Version
You can leave NUC at any time, for any reason.
Leaving should be instant, cost-free, penalty-free, and criticism-safe.
You do not need to prove that your reason is good enough. You do not need permission from a Sage, member, Body, or vote.
What Leaving Means
If people ever gather around NUC, leaving would mean:
- You are no longer expected to participate in NUC religious practice, governance, Bodies, rituals, meetings, or projects.
- You should not be pressured to explain yourself.
- You should not be monitored as a former member.
- You should not be punished for criticism, disagreement, embarrassment, loss of belief, loss of interest, or changed priorities.
- You may ask that ordinary member-facing communications stop.
What Can Still Exist
Leaving NUC does not erase ordinary legal obligations, ordinary workplace obligations, or ordinary rights held by other people or entities.
Examples may include signed contracts, shared business obligations, intellectual-property agreements, custody obligations, safety obligations, or lawful court orders.
Those matters are not religious punishments. They should be handled through ordinary legal, professional, or civic channels, not through spiritual pressure.
Money, Property, and Work
NUC should not require payment to leave.
NUC should not require people to surrender ordinary personal property to leave.
If money, business work, creative work, or intellectual property is involved, read Money and Property. This site does not create those obligations by itself.
Safety Exceptions
Leaving does not give anyone permission to threaten, harass, stalk, assault, defraud, dox, or endanger another person.
If there is an immediate safety risk, use ordinary emergency, legal, or professional channels.
NUC should not use vague safety language as an excuse to pressure, surveil, or punish ordinary former members.
If Someone Pressures You Not to Leave
If anyone says you cannot leave, must stay silent, must keep participating, must surrender property, must cut off outside relationships, or must accept punishment for leaving, that person is not speaking for the exit rights described here.
Save the message if you can do so safely. Talk to someone outside the situation. Use ordinary legal, emergency, or professional support if needed.
