49980420 aa2 Hail Satan!

what possible freedom (esp. ultimate) could any organization, outside
some protectorate and pirate state, ever grant?  does not nonmembership
contain more freedom in the sense of not having to concern oneself 
with whether one wishes to remain a member by virtue of holding to 
the inevitable moralistic demands?   you advocate for such things
yourself by your criticism of TJ and AS.

are you sure that the typical equation of "choice" with "freedom"
(a la de Toqueville) which has seized so many Americans is not at
work here in descriptions of Satanism and their "granted freedoms"?
 

 RE the point of joining the CoS:
must there be a single point?  membership may bolster an individual's
flagging self-concepts sufficient to warrant their social identification
as Satanists (an org somehow 'legitimizing' their claim -- this may be
why so many CoSatanists begin to champion and equate the smaller for the
larger category).  the membership card and one's support of the org may
become a badge of pride, supporting an organization which stands out 
clearly and publically bearing the name of the Jehovan Adversary,
complete with valuable deceptions that make the projections of the

conventional Christian fall weakly aside as they shall gape in futile
astonishment: as when the "Nine Satanic Statements", the "Eleven Rules 
of the Earth" (Satan is Lord of the Earth you know), and the "Ten Sins
of Satanism" (Sins?  in Satanism?  is that anything like 'farms in
Berkeley'?  muuuuuuuuuuuuu!) are valiantly traipsed before the abashed
and destroyed ignoramus who was only moments ago proclaiming their
petty victory of their god over the powers of This World.  if one is
diligent and predisposed, one may also achieve networking and/or
'agent' status within the Church, thereby both having communications
with the greater body and, trusted by the High Priests, licensed to
go before the public eye and proclaim the Way of Satan for all to see!
 
what more need be included for LIFETIME membership and the chance to
join the legions of those opposed to the Nazarene travesty?!!!  
really!  feh


 RE what a member gets beyond some justification for identity and
   access to a social group:
what do most clubs or groups provide beyond this?  crap-laden
newsletters becoming less and less relevant to the course of the
individual's lifeworks, piling up in the corner as a testimony 
to how the monies of the organization are wasted, squandered?
in a Christian culture isn't it enough to align oneself to the
enemies of one's parents to demonstrate once and for all that
THIS, this disgusting filth foisted upon us from insipid
ancestors with the arrogance to call it "truth" and "sacredness"
is completely and utterly worthy of being put down as corrupt?
 

 RE titles in the CoS: 
...as I understand it ..., the titles
really mean very little in comparison to how integral one may
be within the structure itself.  this is often true within
nonprofit and membership organizations (social clubs).  the
titles quickly become honorary should the individual be deemed
subject to hysteria or dipsomania, and they can be extracted
or excommunicated by virtue of their ridiculous demands or acts.

 
...embarrassment, sardonicry, irritation, satire, and
raucously offensive expression is the BASTION of Satanism, is
it not?  what better exemplars of rubbing the literati's face
in Proper Behavior than the clowns who, especially while
operating in the behalf of Hir Infernal Majesty (even while
claiming that SHe doesnt' exist!), defy social custom and betray
a total repudiation of decorum??


my understanding (and I hope to be corrected by CoSatanists who
know better) is that titles are ideally not distributed as
rewards for not doing bad things, but instead are awards for
achievement in the world (what ToSsers have called 'selling
priesthood', by the dollar no doubt :>). 

...THIS should be the criteria
by which the administration of this CoSatanist organization (you
wait, there will be fractures and offshoots yet! ;>) should be
judged.  how well does it do what it says it will do, after all?
of course Sammy Davis Jr. and Marilyn Manson may be examples of
confirmations in this regard....

blessed beast!
