How not to end a career as a messiah

I wonder if I started a breakoff sect if I could get myself a following of people that could be described as “few but devout”.

I kind of doubt it.

Not to be confused with his great-great grandnephew, Harry Potter, who also had a type of Messiah-complex.

I got this idea for a cult where my followers are fanatically devoted but still use normal grooming practices. I’m copyrighting it, so if y’all want to be cult leaders, plug your noses.

I suddenly appreciate all my mission companions much more than ten minutes ago.

And remember, as some teach us repeatedly, Arnold Potter and Brigham Young were both equally significant and respectable leaders of the Restoration.

“The time has come for me to ascend into heaven. Goodbye… AHHHHHHhhhhhhh…”

THUD!

“Wow, that’s disappointing. But at least I can take off this big black robe now and you can start wearing deodorant again.”

I think the Sithism breakoff from Jediism has followers that can be described as “few but devout”, if by “few” you mean “one.” Always two there are; a master and an apprentice.
