SO, looks Like I'm Gonna Be Back In The Ministry Game...
6 years ago
There is no gift more precious or rare in this world than true love. Treasure those who share it with you.
BUT NOT in the same way...
And CERTAINLY NOT for the OLD team.
Some of you may know that I used to be a youth pastor, minister and missionary in... let's call it "the before times". Long story short, I got out and am now a proud Satanist. Some locally even call me Matron or Mother Black. *smiles* That's cool.
However- BIG News- You know what, I'll just repost it from the journal update I made for TSTFurs...
Egads but I'm positively BEAMING Here... *titters and bounces about* What this means for us, not just TST, but everyone, the good we can do, the new avenues available to help others in disenfranchised communities or very specific yet deathly important legal issues, are almost innumerable!
The Satanic Temple is moving forward with becoming a federally recognized religious organization.
Many persons within TST, from members of the NC on down to the card-carrying folkes in the trenches, have mulled over this question for years. "Is it right to accept tax exempt status as a religion, particularly when such a thing is what we have long argued against?" Finally, reaching their decision gate, TST has moved on the issue.

This is BIG news and I know I could not be happier about it.
Again, I realize many will have reservations on the issue but please, consider it from this perspective. The benefits this will provide moving forward are almost impossible to overstate.
The simple fact that TST will soon be able to ordain ministers, that alone is going to radically alter the face of culture in America. You may live in a small town or simply one with a very strong evangelical presence which impedes upon the freedoms of the community. As a ordained priest or priestess of Satan, you would now be able to offer your community wedding services, counseling, hospital visitation and advisement rites- the list goes on for longer than the "SOLVE/COAGULA" tattoos on my arms.
This is a great day and I am overjoyed that you all are on board to be a part of it.
Love Yourselves and Love each other, you beautiful bastards!
Ave Lucifer. Ave Satanas. Hail Satan.

Not to mention the advocacy for women's choice concerning birth control and access to safe abortions, and pushing against the bigoted zealotry of anti-abortion extremists.
Please continue to be a positive representative of "Furry Satanists."
And it's nice to know someone as nice as yourself could also be involved.

Ahhhh, what a great occasion! Down with the monopolists, of which the religious monopolists are some of the worst.

Didn't come out as I thought it would. I meant, next time I come into the US, I might ask you to perform a wedding ceremony for me. ;)
In the meantime, I'll tell everyone I know to get married by a TST minister, because it would just be awesome! ^^
