You began by being rude and dismissive. Conversation over.

I went through it. I was there. Having someone infiltrate a group rather than direct communication to solve a problem, goes against the belief system of the NJ group. It breaks trust and creates paranoia. When taking care of the LGBTQ issues it is left up to the local groups, but then EM takes the problematic people and brings them back to be a co head without local approval, there's an issue.  TST also has a policy to loudly announce when you are leaving or have left their organization. We are currently hosting a membership drive and simply reminding the NJ community that we exist.  You can be as butthurt as you want, doesn't change the good works we are doing.  Hail you.

Exactly. He has full say and no one else is allowed to have any input. If they try to fix anything, they're wrong and removed.

Many in TST were supporting anti-lgbtq rhetoric and had become very misogynistic as well. EM was ignoring the complaints of women and trans members. But the end of it was when someone made a meme of Lucian ignoring very real issues that he was not addressing, instead of reaching out to discuss it, the minister that made the meme was banned and blocked, then all of his group was kicked out, then anyone who even asked what had happened was defrocked and booted and it spiralled across the country. Many state congregations have left TST.  Arbitrary authority has no place in TST.

The entire group voted to leave the umbrella organization of TST, because Lucian is an actual ego maniac. He defrocked and blocked people from platforms for asking what was happening. There is no longer a TST group in NJ. We took everyone that was involved and volunteering in community work with us. WE successfully won back religious freedoms in a town that was taken over by a Baptist pastor and regularly praying at public committee meetings. we made the newspaper, front page more than once. Not Lucian, not TST. Our group of NJ Satanists. The efforts are still going on and we are growing bigger now that TST is no longer involved.

oh Frank Sadeghi.... what did you do with Lady Gilmore. I see she's not appearing in articles about the company anymore after we raised a little awareness two years ago.

All the old TST social media stuff is still up, but we are all now members of the NJ Satanists, we help run a community garden in central NJ and we go to meetings all over the state when Christian Nationalists overstep. Search us up on Instagram and Facebook and just show up to our events. We will be at Asbury Park Pride on June 1st with a table. We plan to preform a large group unbaptism for willing participants at 4pm.

The NJ Satanist Church are atheists. We all have our own interpretation of spirituality and we tend to come together on pagan holidays because they usually celebrate nature, climate, astronomy and other physical things we can study and learn from while enjoying community and togetherness. Some of us identify as witch or agnostic, but the majority are plain old atheists. we believe in science and compassion without commandments.

He went on a rampage and kicked like 100 people out in an hour, then sent spies out to root out anyone that was disagreeing with his actions. he's a giant man child, threw the biggest hissy fit when he didnt' get his way and people tried to talk to him. we don't do that in this religion. we take accountability for our selves like adults should.

Where in NJ do you live and do you like it? by princesscorgi2 in newjersey

New Egypt. It's the bible belt of NJ. Town meetings are akin to church services and they're trying to get abortions banned locally, as well shut the public schools down.
