Southern Baptist version of Scientology.
*just in case someone thinks I wrote it, just because I posted first, Roget did this, this was just the first thing that popped in my head after I read it.*
It rides with the flow, bro. Can't smell it, got no spirit, got no pull, just Big Cheese's soul-gauge tool.
That said, self-termination is something you should expunge from your dictionary. It's called "committed suicide".
What's a fifthist? Is it a new group of interest or something?
Eeyup.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
Innnnnteresting. The list of reactions made this worth an upvote.
inb4 everyone hates the Fifthist Church.
Are We the Broken Hand of the Fifthist Global University Insurgency Yet?
Are We the Shark Punching Center Dedicated to Punching Anomalous Paintings of Sharks Held by the Fifthest Church Yet?
Are we done yet?

I don't hate it. But this group of interest (not even a full GOI yet) is rapidly turning into a skeleton. Make sure an SCP can stand on its own WITHOUT a group. Though this GOI does have some relation to its objects directly. So I suppose that's a moot point. Dunno. Will think on it more.
I like the idea, but the writing needs some fine tuning.
SCP-1724's anomalous effect will activate if a person sits in SCP-1724-3 while SCP-1724's components are within 20 meters of each other. If this occurs, the different components of SCP-1724 will activate. SCP-1724-1 will begin to exude green colored smoke, and the valve will begin to turn at an accelerated pace. Note that at this point, the radiation emitted by SCP-1724-2 will not have any effect on the the person seated in SCP-1724-3. After approximately 30 minutes have passed, the television monitors located on SCP-1724-3 will begin to display images. These images usually relate in some way to the person seated in SCP-1724-3, however their context is usually impossible to determine. This will continue for an additional thirty minutes. It is not known at this time what this number corresponds to.
Images form, relating to the person seated in -3, but the last sentence refers to a number. No number is mentioned being displayed, prior to this, just images. The last sentence doesn't belong in this paragraph. In addition, the last sentence ends in a preposition, which I would not expect in a technical paper. It should read something like "It is not known at this time as to what this number means." One problem-you discuss at least part of what this number means in the following paragraph.
No vote.

All of this.
A GOI needs more meat to it than "ghosts who talk like funky hep cats about people's souls".
This. The whole talking part (and I really love the dialogue, I really do) and idea behind the church is excellent, but as it stands the item itself can only stay standing because of its ties to the GOI, which at this point isn't much more then what Smapti said.
You aren't reading into it man-It's a goi based on a cult of famous people. Look at what this does to your personality and mind. What kind of successful person is an attention whore? A celebrity.

Take away the Fifthist and what is left? What here is interesting as it's own piece without the wacky hip celebrity cult?
^This guy gets it. Good idea and all but it's just a frame item for more Fithist shenanigans.
