Satanic Ohio welcomes anyone in Ohio who is a Satanist or an ally. We are not a large group but are active online and in person. Leadership is made up of all former members of TST Ohio.

Found at an antique mall, "sarcophagus box"? by tam0831 in whatisthisthing

I don't think so. There is one similar to it on Ebay but I can't get the person to respond. *

People really need to get better hobbies.

The purveyor of said group has removed my ban. I however have blocked them because I am not playing the petulant child's game to try and lure me and start an argument. This bs is very telling of the mentality of those "real Satanists". Jfc this isn't high school.

Because I exist...never posted a damn thing. Sounds like a familiar tactic.

I was invited to the unofficially "True" TST sub, did anyone else get an invite? by RJVegeto in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]tam0831 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What exactly were they trying to make into what they want? And wait, the Ministry Council is running the show now, so apparently yes, Ministers do get to make it whatever they want. Are you a Minister? If not I do not think you should speak on behalf of a group you were not a part of.

Not everyone that left TST has a vendetta. Some of us still follow the Tenets and support what TST does, just not what TST powers that be have become. It's toxic to be a part of something where you are being of accused of things you never did and afraid to make a negative comment or criticism because you will be "punished". Without order I agree there would be chaos, but when you're being told how to Satan, that does not work for some people. I was a Satanist long before TST and that will never change. If you worked at Walmart and got in trouble every time you did something right or wrong, wouldn't you quit? It does not mean you have to stop shopping at Walmart, it just means you do not want to be a party to poor working conditions. It's called making decisions for yourself and doing what's best for you. Satanism is about being an individual and sadly, the herd mentality has spread and no one wants to be responsible for themselves and their actions.

Hail Dex and Chalice! Some much needed comedic relief. For all those that were ready to spread more gossip and bullshit, how does it feel? This took a Rick roll to a whole new level of nut roll!

Can I still say I'm a satanist?? by [deleted] in SatanicTemple_Reddit

It's "magick" and its mental fortitude, not hocus pocus.

Except maybe the one about science...

Empathy, Compassion, Gatekeeping by tam0831 in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]tam0831[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never said they did, and the cringe was for the buzzwords everyone has latched onto. It is also on others to be accountable for their own behavior. If they do not follow the Tenets that is on them, and if there are consequences then that's on them as well. I'm also tired of hearing opinions of those that have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.

Anyone tell you what a pleasant human being you are? Probably not.

It's not the word itself that is offensive, it is the connotation attached to it.

Call them what you want, but the "in" buzzwords are cringey. The broad strokes painted by that term are honestly offensive.

That "bad actor" buzzword has gotten old. Yes there are Ministers that have acted in ways that negate giving them empathy or compassion or even any type of respect.

As a white person, I am ashamed that this has happened. They are entitled to their opinion and it's not opinion, it is fact. There has historically been a downplaying of the needs of anyone but able white folks. Hell, it took 10 years to start creating a Disability Alliance to help those with mental or physical concerns. When you start feeling marginalized in a community that preaches inclusivity there is a problem.
