UPDATE ADDED 6/30/23
Well, my friends, you and I should say thank you to Barack Obama for keeping his word. Our Country has gone through so much CHANGE I don’t even recognize it. This is certainly not the USA in which I grew up.
I was amazed at the time that people could not see Obuma for what he was. I guess Americans were so sick of what had been going on in our nation that they were ready to trust anyone who promised “Change” something different had to be better, right?? Obviously NOT!!
We have gone from bad to worse to HELL ON EARTH! Why? Because as a nation we have embraced everything that is ungodly and EVIL.
It is sad. I know that as we all woke up and realized that everything that we had been told was nothing but lies and deception. Disheartened, lost and confused they people were easy targets. But, folks, what you need is truth. When you have been living so long with lies, why would you go to the FATHER of LIES for answers?
Why have people embraced the dark side so readily? Because in this world, without help from God, we are all under the jurisdiction of Satan. Our bodies and souls were captured when he snatched the keys from Adam and Ever. We were given a new nature…a SIN nature. Our bodies naturally are inclined toward sin. Our inclination is to be selfish, self indulgent and greedy. When we give in to our innate desires, we give access to demonic spirits to take control. Once demonic spirits enter in, we have lost all control. We become subject to their whims and demands. We no longer can discern the defense between our own desires and theirs or our own thoughts and theirs.
It seems that Americans are embracing Satan in large numbers. They find it comfortable. They don’t have to deny themselves and can indulge in any lazy, lascivious, monstrous and evil activity that enters their minds. Satan appeals to their sinful nature.
What they do not understand is there is HELL to pay. They think that they are enjoying freedom and no longer answerable for their actions. NOT SO foolish ones. You will find that Satan is a hard task master. The demons will show you no mercy. They will use your body and mind to fulfill their evil desires. Knowing that times is short, they will be seeking to pursue earthly pleasures as much as they can while they can. You will have no rest. They will drive you to do more and more evil with greater and greater urgency and more and more frequency.
Once you meet your end. You will find that there is no escaping judgement. You will be accountable for every thing you do and every single word you say. GOD will show you no mercy either at that point. You were given opportunity to receive HIS mercy and grace. To have his covering. But, you CHOSE Satan instead. NO EXCUSES! PUNISHMENT AND DEATH is all that awaits you.
If you want to go that route…no one will stop you. Christians will try to warn you, and to help you see the truth. But, NO ONE will try to force you. You are free to chose.
God says “I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have placed before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your [d]descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding close to Him; for [e]this is your life and the length of your days,”

Should we be surprised? As our society comes apart at the seams all around us, Satan and Satanism are becoming extremely popular. Videos featuring Satan are getting millions of views on TikTok and YouTube, millions of Americans are watching shows that feature Satan as a main character on Netflix and other streaming services, and the Satanic Temple has become one of the fastest growing religious organizations that the United States has ever seen. As you will see below, traditional American values are declining at a very rapid pace, and it was inevitable that something would fill that void. In fact, it turns out that Satanism’s “values” correspond almost perfectly with the “values” that much of the population has already embraced in this day and age.
Once upon a time, most Americans were repulsed by anything that had to do with Satan.
But now Satan is eagerly welcomed into homes and hearts all over the nation. Today, Satan has become one of the hottest spiritual figures in America, and that is unlikely to change any time soon. The following comes from a Newsweek article entitled “Satan is Getting Hot as Hell in American Pop Culture”…
The Devil is front and center in movies, TV shows, podcasts and even children’s books. There are Satan After School Clubs, while the proliferating Satanist groups have their own political divisions.
There’s The Exorcist Files, in which Father Carlos Martins recreates exorcisms, and the podcast routinely tops the list of the most popular in the “spirituality” categories. On Netflix alone there are dozens of titles dealing with hellish demons, including Warrior Nun, Devil in Ohio, The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself and Lucifer, in which the ruler of Hell runs a piano bar in California. Comedy is also fair game, thus Ted Danson plays a torturous demon who is prone to mistakes in the Netflix series, The Good Place.
On top of everything else, a major convention is coming up.
It is being billed as “the largest satanic gathering in history”, and it is being held in Boston at the end of April…
This year’s event is taking place in Boston, Massachusetts, from April 28-30, 2023, and is titled “Hexennacht in Boston” — otherwise known as “Witches Night.” On the announcement page, the Satanic Temple (TST) laments Boston Mayor Michelle Wu “for her unconstitutional efforts to keep TST out of Boston’s public spaces” and announces that the event will be dedicated to her.
In the old days, maybe a few fringe weirdos would get together for something like that.
But this year’s “SatanCon” was completely sold out six weeks in advance.
The Satanic Temple is the organization that runs the conference. It was established in 2012, and it now has more than 700,000 registered members…
Founder Douglas Mesner, who goes by Lucien Greaves, declined Newsweek’s request for an interview, but The Satanic Temple’s website espouses such non-controversial tenets as forgiveness, empathy toward all creatures and freedom — including “the freedom to offend.” Its website boasts more than 700,000 registered members.
That makes the Satanic Temple one of the fastest growing religious organizations in U.S. history.
One of the organization’s core beliefs is that you are supposed to have complete freedom over your own body…
Citing its tenet that “one’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone,” The Satanic Temple has filed lawsuits on religious freedom grounds in states that limit abortion, claiming that abortion bans violate the rights of an “involuntarily pregnant woman” to engage in a “Satanic Abortion Ritual.”
But it turns out that anyone that attends SatanCon must “have proof of COVID vaccination” and must wear a mask…
Now according to the Satanic Temple’s website, “Satancon attendees must be 18 or over and have proof of COVID vaccination. Attendees must wear an N-95, KN-95, or disposable surgical mask. Gaiters, bandanas, and cloth masks will not be allowed.”
So much for being consistent.
Of course a lot of their followers simply do not care. Many of them have embraced Satanism because it fits what they already believe much more than Christianity does.
Sadly, a brand new Wall Street Journal-NORC poll shows that traditional American values are in a very rapid state of decline…
Do you want the good news or the bad news first? It’s all pretty bad, but let’s get it over with: the share of Americans who say patriotism and religion are “very important” to them has fallen sharply, as has the number of Americans who value involvement in their community, hard work and having children.
These revelations come courtesy of a new Wall Street Journal-NORC poll, complete with a graph depicting our nation’s nosedive. Some nitty-gritty: in 1998, 70 percent of respondents deemed patriotism to be very important; now, that number is 38 percent. Twenty-five years ago, 62 percent said religion was very important; now only 39 percent do.

I was floored when I first saw those numbers.
Have we really fallen that far?
In such an environment, it is easy for evil to thrive.
For example, a man was recently convicted of “2,190 counts of rape of a child under age 13”, but it barely made a blip in the news…
A Greene County man was sentenced on Tuesday to 3,000 years in prison for sex crimes against children.
According to a news release from the district attorney’s office, Matthew Perry was convicted of 13,143 felony counts of sex crimes against children, including 2,190 counts of rape of a child under age 13.
The reason why it barely made a blip in the news is because there are hordes of other predators out there that are just like him.
In fact, it won’t be too long before the number of registered sex offenders in America hits the one million mark.
There has always been evil in our society, but today vast multitudes of people are openly celebrating it.
For those that wish to revel in the evil that they are doing, Satanism is perfect for them.
But what is going to happen to our nation as even more Americans reject Christ and embrace Satan?
We are truly in uncharted territory, and we should all be deeply alarmed by the tremendous evil that is rapidly growing all around us.

Commercial: Satan Meets 2020
This is the best ad I’ve seen in a long time.

Christians are raising the alarm over the growing presence of satanic activity in America. Speaking with Fox News Digital, Dave Kubal, CEO of Intercessors for America, warned against Boston’s upcoming SatanCon 2023, scheduled to take place from April 28-30. Marking the Satanic Temple’s 10th anniversary, the event is being boasted as the “largest satanic gathering in history.” Kubal warned that the group is bringing demonic forces into America. This year’s theme will be “Hexennacht in Boston” or “Witches’ Night.” The Satanic Temple has dismissed accusations of witchcraft, maintaining it is a non-spiritual organization. “It is hard to respond to accusations of ‘tapping into demonic power’ in the same way that it is hard to respond to accusations of having ‘cooties’ without implicitly validating the mindset of a 3-year-old,” the group said in response to criticisms.
The group had previously received criticism from outraged parents in Virginia when it proposed starting an “After School Satan Club” at B.M. Williams Primary School in Chesapeake, VA. Speaking with Jesse Waters on Fox News, Lucian Greaves, co-founder of the Satanic Temple, defended the club, saying, “Obviously, we don’t view Satan as evil, and it really doesn’t matter to us what your mythology is surrounding Satan.” He also stated that the group’s aim was not conversion but to teach children to think for themselves. When pressed by Waters to describe a tenet of satanism, Greaves said, “One should strive to act with compassion and empathy to all creatures within reason.”
Penny Lane’s 2019 documentary, Hail Satan?, documented the origins of the Satanic Temple. The film noted the Satanic Temple’s “performative” nature in repurposing Christian symbols against the religious right. One particularly jarring “performance” from the group was when the group faced off against pro-life protesters protesting at Michigan Planned Parenthoods. Dressed as babies in grotesque masks and leather bondage-style outfits, protesters from the Satanic Temple taunted pro-life protesters as a mock priest blessed the “BDSM babies’” performance.

The Satanic Temple and the issue of abortion have often gone hand in hand, with the Temple protesting the overturn of Roe v. Wade. The Temple recently announced the launching of the Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Abortion Clinic. Satanic Temple co-founder Malcom Jarry said along with the announcement, “In 1950, Samuel Alito’s mother did not have options, and look what happened.” Alito is a Catholic judge on the Supreme Court who voted along with four other judges to overturn Roe v. Wade. Alito wrote the majority opinion on the judges’ decision.

At the end of January, a New York City courthouse unveiled a monument in honor of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which some are labeling an “idol.” The statue has been compared to a Baphomet, a goat-man hybrid typically associated with the esoteric and demonic. “This is the same city that just tore down a statue of Teddy Roosevelt because it was too ‘controversial,’ but a satanic symbol to glorify the murder of a child in the womb is not?” decried Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America. “No wonder New Yorkers are leaving in droves. No one should be forced to look at this disgusting graven image of evil. Tear down this statue.”
Satan is More Popular than EVER!

To the Editor: Many wrongly see someone of a different political party as their enemy. The 2023 Grammys showed us who our greatest enemies are. Pastor Geoffrey Grider said the 2023 Grammys called on Satan during the performance of “Unholy.” Then after openly promoting Satanism the commercial said, brought to you by Pfizer vaccines. In response to a tweet from Sam Smith before the Grammy Awards on Sunday, CBS declared that it was “ready to worship.” They deleted the tweet on Monday evening. CBS’s “worship” tweet raised eyebrows on social media. “You don’t have to say the entertainment industry and media is satanic, they’re doing it for you” some tweeted. Smith, who identifies as non-binary (no gender) and Kim Petras, who identifies as a transgender woman, won the Grammy for best pop duo performance for the song “Unholy.” The Christian website www.skywatchtv.com said: A performance by the winners of the Best Pop Duo Grammy clearly glorified unrestrained carnality and dark spiritual forces, but this kind of evil shouldn’t surprise Christians anymore. We expect we will also see some Satanism at the Super Bowl.
The U.S. will host the world’s largest Satanic gathering this year in Boston, Mass. The Satanic Temple has announced on social media SatanCon 2023 will take place April 28, 2023. Satanists have declared abortion a fundamental religious right, and argued any state laws restricting the practice are unfairly discriminating against their members’ religious freedom. Satan is more popular than ever and is in the news a lot. In December 2022, Dolly Parton in her Christmas special, said the truth about Satan. Parton said, “My brothers and sisters, I’m here to to tell you Satan is real and he is walking around amongst us trying to destroy everything that’s good and beautiful. He wants to break our hearts and minds, destroy our dreams and plans. Satan wants to tear us up into little pieces, break us down and send us straight to hell.”
December 2022, Disney sparked backlash after kids spelled out “We love you Satan” in Tim Allen’s The Santa Clauses. Recently, a California elementary school approved allowing an after school Satan Club. A new statue on a state courthouse in New York has been described as a “satanic golden medusa” but some Christians think it represents the evil gender fluid goddess Inanna worshipped thousands of years ago. They also have a demonic statue at CERN in Switzerland.
The great earthquakes that just happened in Turkey is a warning and shows that God is working to fulfill his His prophetic plan and the second coming of Jesus to rule the Earth after the seven-year tribulation is soon coming. The seven-year tribulation, which is the worse time in history, is coming soon. Faith in Jesus and what Jesus accomplished on your behalf is the only thing that will save you from what’s coming. You are not promised tomorrow. Admit you are a sinner and need Jesus the only Savior. Believe Jesus died for your sins and rose again. Call on or pray to Jesus to save you. Jesus is mighty to save. Satan and those working for the great reset and globalism want to steal, kill, destroy and enslave. There are more enslaved to human trafficking in America than ever before. However, the Bible says those who Jesus has set free are free indeed. Only Jesus can make you free in 2023! D.D. Nave Elizabethton

SATANCON MAY HAVE IT’S ROOTS IN A DANISH CELEBRATION OF DEBAUCHERY IN THE NAME OF SANTA!!
The annual gathering of costume-clad young people often invites mass brawls, public fornication and loutishness
An annual event that sees some 30,000 people descend on New York, at its best Saturday’s SantaCon is a gathering of young people who donate some money to charity while wearing Santa Claus costumes and getting drunk.
At its worst, however – and SantaCon is frequently at its worst – the affair is an invitation for mass brawls, widespread street-vomiting, public fornication and loutishness.
It wasn’t always this way. The modern-day SantaCon traces its origins to a less debauched, more purposed protest in Copenhagen in 1974. A group called Solvognen, which took its name from a Nordic Bronze Age sun chariot statue discovered in Denmark in 1902, held a four-day demonstration during which they entered a department store and began handing out books to confused shoppers.
Solvognen was “an extraordinary Danish guerrilla theater troupe”, Mother Jones wrote three years later, with a longing for “a simpler Danish lifestyle, where American consumerism is not an envied standard”.
Any children who happen to be on the streets this Saturday, when the modern-day SantaCon is occurring, are unlikely to receive this message – instead being presented with a chance to see their festive hero presented in an altogether unsavory light.
Initially, the US adoption of Solvognen’s event stayed true to the anti-consumerism principles.
That was implemented by the Cacophony Society, a San Francisco culture-jamming group, which held what was effectively the first US event in 1994.
Inspired by the Solvognen action, a group of people took to the streets posing as Santas on strike. They bantered with locals and disrupted high society parties, aiming for “a little mocking of a bullshit holiday which was demonstrably based on an unholy alliance of religious hypocrisy and mercantile lust”, as Cacophony Society member John Law wrote in 2014.
Later in the day Law, having checked no children were present, was ceremoniously hanged, in his Santa outfit, from a lamppost – “long after any tiny tots were tucked away in their warm beds”, he wrote.
The group wanted to satirize the commercialization of Christmas, and, Law said: “With the SantaCon thing, it seemed to me that we had done just that. We took back the holiday from Macy’s, from Julius, from Jesus, from Coca-Cola.”
According to the website for the New York SantaCon, the event has lost the angry, anti-commercialism meaning.
“SantaCon is a charitable, non-political, nonsensical Santa Claus convention that happens once a year to spread absurdist joy,” the website says. In an email to the Guardian, SantaCon said it has raised $750,000 over the past 10 years.
Attendees are alerted to the start point a couple of days before SantaCon, and tens of thousands of red-clad people usually appear.
SantaCon isn’t unique to New York, with similar events taking place across the US and beyond, but it is the New York gathering that has garnered the worst reputation. Each year has been marked by vandalizing, public urination, vomiting and defecation, and some bar owners have boycotted the event, refusing entry to anyone wearing a Santa costume.
In 2013, despite the New York police department launching a campaign against SantaCon, a group of half a dozen Santas, and apparently one elf, were filmed brawling in the street in Manhattan. The same year, footage of one of the attendees administering manual stimulation to a man in a Santa Claus outfit went viral.
SantaCon was cancelled due to Covid-19 in 2020, but a year earlier the event featured a Santa urinating “in the middle of the McDonald’s in front of a child”, the New York Post reported, while Gothamist documented many less serious instances of Santas inspiring revulsion on public transport.
In an email, SantaCon said the event has “has changed significantly for the better” in recent years. It added: “As with any event involving 30,000 people where alcohol is involved, there are always going to be individual situations of disruptive conduct.”
“We agree that there is no excuse for inappropriate behavior including public drunkenness, urination, or rude behavior,” SantaCon said.
“This is not only prohibited by the stated rules of the event, but actively discouraged by the crowds of Santas themselves, who are, for the most part, responsible, creative, community-minded New Yorkers. NYC Santa realizes that he has a responsibility to New York City and its citizens.”
It is impossible to be certain what this year’s SantaCon holds, but given the weight of history, it is likely to be unpleasant for many, something hinted at in SantaCon’s own publicity.
“Simple and effective way to have a merry SantaCon,” a SantaCon tweet read.
“The 6 ‘F’s of SantaCon:
Don’t F*** with…
|
1. Kids 2. Cops 3. Bar Staff |
4. NYC 5. NYC Vax Requirements 6. Santa’s Charity Mission” |
Setting aside the suggestion implicit in the publication of such rules that SantaCon attendees are likely to interfere with any or all six of the above, the timid avoidance of using an actual expletive also indicates how far SantaCon has come from its anarchic roots.
There will be no war waging against capitalism on Saturday. And unfortunately for many New Yorkers, it is the Santas who will be bad boys and girls this year.

The convention known as “SatanCon 2023” will be held on April 28-30 at the Boston Marriott Copley Place. It is being promoted as “a weekend of blasphemy and remembrance in Boston” and will also celebrate TST’s 10-year anniversary.
The group also claims the convention will be the “largest Satanic gathering in history.”
As CBN News reported in January, the theme of the convention is “Hexennacht in Boston” or “Witches Night,” an ancient German holiday that occurs annually on April 30. The SatanCon event includes a “Satanic Ball” on the opening night, April 28, Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple’s co-founder, and spokesperson is set to deliver the keynote address of the conference along with co-founder Malcolm Jarry on Saturday morning.
Other scheduled sessions include “Satanic Panic in Brazil,” “Hellbillies: Visible Satanism in Rural America,” “Deconstructing Your Religious Upbringing,” “Reclaiming the Trans Body: A/theistic Strategies for Self-Determination and Empowerment,” and “Sins of the Flesh: Satanism and Self-Pleasure.”
The convention will also offer a Satanic marketplace for those in attendance, but vendors have not been announced.
TST claims it has a Boston-area membership of 2,449 people.
According to the event’s website, the gathering is dedicated to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu for “her unconstitutional efforts to keep TST out of Boston’s public spaces.”
Based in Salem, MA, the group had requested to fly a Satanic flag over Boston City Hall after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last May that the city violated the free speech rights of a conservative activist seeking to fly a Christian flag on a pole outside the downtown building.
TST tweeted a copy of their request filed with the city property management department to raise a flag marking “Satanic Appreciation Week” last July.
There has been no response from the city on TST’s flag request. The city has said it stopped flying flags in 2021.
TST also sued the Boston City Council in January of 2021, arguing that the council violated the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the free exercise clause of the Massachusetts Constitution by not inviting the Satanists to “pray” before their meetings.
In Boston, city council members are allowed to invite any religious leader of their choosing to offer an opening prayer. The city contends that it is perfectly legal for council members to select specific individuals to pray, and in 2021, a U.S. District Court agreed with the city on that issue.
Christian Ministry Responds to TST Announcement
A Christian ministry called Intercessors for America (IFA) responded to the announcement of the Satanic group’s second convention, saying, “Our prayers will make a difference yet again. While TST plans and promotes, we will pray and fast that these efforts will actually backfire and instead embolden and empower the Church. They promise a weekend of ‘blasphemy and remembrance in Boston.’ Let’s pray for a weekend of holiness and seeking God.”
The IFA also said TST is an adversary to the Christian faith.
“This is no neutral, ‘intellectual,’ quirky advocacy group. It is an adversary to the Christian faith and its free exercise in public spaces, to the protection of life, and to the advancement of Bible teaching in the public schools,” the IFA said. “These rituals, practices, declarations, and beliefs are the gateway to allowing satanic footholds in people’s lives. Tarot cards, voodoo dolls, hexes, and spells seem harmless to many, but we know that there is real satanic power behind those activities, and this power will ensnare anyone who participates in such things.“
SatanCon has not gone unnoticed on social media platforms. While there are promoters and advocates of TST’s Boston event, there are also users standing up for God.

TST Claims It Advocates for Secularism, Has ‘Abortion Ritual’
The Satanic Temple is separate from the Church of Satan, which was founded in the 1960s.
Founded in 2013, TST says it doesn’t believe in Satan but describes itself as a “non-theistic religious organization” that advocates for secularism. On its website, under the question “Do You Worship Satan?” in the Frequently Asked Questions section, TST answers: “No, nor do we believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural.”
However, TST claims it has its own “abortion ritual.” The group describes its Satanic abortion ritual as a “spiritual experience designed to instill confidence and self-worth in accordance to TST’s religious beliefs.”
TST has long argued its members’ religious rights are exempt from any state laws or any regulations that might block access to abortion services.
The satanic group claims its abortion ritual is exempt from any existing abortion regulations on the basis of religious liberty. They point to the 2014 Supreme Court ruling that declared Hobby Lobby as a business had the right not to cover birth control, including abortifacient drugs, as a part of its health care program for employees, because of its religious beliefs.
“The Satanic Temple, on behalf of its members, objects to government interference with abortion access and contests that laws that impede our faith in bodily autonomy and our ability to perform our Religious Abortion Ritual violate the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act,” the TST said in a statement.
Promoting Satan as an ‘Imaginary Friend’ to Children
The group also made headlines over the few years as it has worked to install its “After School Satan Club” in several elementary schools across the country, drawing the anger of many parents.
The Satan clubs began to gain national attention in 2016. As CBN News has reported, in a scattering of communities from California to Virginia, parents have protested the Satan clubs, asking their districts to not approve their applications to meet. That’s left school administrators with a difficult decision: accept all clubs no matter the viewpoint or shut down after-school clubs altogether.
After School Satan Club (ASSC) organizers say they’ll only open a club to counteract other religious groups that are already meeting on a school’s campus.
As CBN News has reported, a catchy, semi-animated promotional video from the group included a song encouraging young children to embrace Satan as an imaginary friend.
The video repeatedly states “there is no hell” and tries to convince children that “Satan doesn’t actually exist, he’s an imaginary friend…”
Satanists Targeted Scottsdale Last Year
As CBN News reported, last year, TST chose Scottsdale, Arizona as the site their first public convention after it lost a lawsuit against the city in 2018 for not being allowed to give an invocation at one of the city council meetings in 2016.
But a U.S. District Court judge ruled in the city’s favor in early 2020 saying the temple had not proven it was discriminated against because of its religious beliefs, according to AZ Central.

TST SatanCon — Lupercalia in Scottsdale Event Ended
The Satanic Temple, often abbreviated TST, is a nontheistic religious and human rights organization that is primarily based in the United States, with additional congregations in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Co-founded by Lucien Greaves, the organization’s spokesperson, and Malcolm Jarry, the organization uses Satanic imagery to promote egalitarianism, social justice, and the separation of church and state, supporting their mission “to encourage benevolence and empathy [among all people].” The Satanic Temple has utilized satire, theatrical ploys, humor, and legal action in their public campaigns to “generate attention and prompt people to reevaluate fears and perceptions”, and to “highlight religious hypocrisy and encroachment on religious
freedom.”

Well, if you watched the above video you heard it proclaimed that they do not have any rituals or ceremonies, no sacrifices and no Black Masses. They said there are no seances or religious rituals.
IF that was true last year in Scottsdale, they have obviously changed their policy for this year. Not an unusual ploy of the deceitful. They lie and cover up their true nature until they get their foot in the door. Then they progressively introduce their true intent.

Jan 9, 2023The Satanic Temple (TST) has announced its 2023 conference in Boston, noting attendees will be required to wear masks.
“Attendees must wear an N-95, KN-95, or disposable surgical mask. Gaiters, bandanas, and cloth masks will not be allowed,” according to a statement on the organization’s official website.
Wu allegedly refused multiple times to allow the group to offer a satanic invocation ahead of a City Council meeting, prompting TST to file a lawsuit against the city of Boston in 2021. The city also reportedly denied TST’s request to fly a flag at City Hall during “Satan Appreciation Week” in July of the same year, saying it was not taking applications to raise flags at the site.

- Group has received national attention for its efforts to establish an After School Satan Club at a primary school in Chesapeake, Virginia
The Satanic Temple’s next SatanCon is going to be held in Bostonand is being dedicated to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu after the city council refused to allow the organization to deliver a satanic invocation at Boston City Hall.
The Salem-based organization is set to run the event from April 28-30 in downtown Boston with the theme of Hexennacht, also known as Witches Night, a German holiday that occurs on April 30, similar to Halloween.
There will also be vendors as part of a ‘satanic market’, entertainment and a keynote presentation by Lucien Greaves, cofounder of The Satanic Temple
‘A weekend of blasphemy and remembrance in Boston,’ the website states whilst promoting the event as the ‘largest satanic gathering in history‘.
The Satanic Temple have said the weekend marks the temple’s 10-year anniversary and will include talks about efforts to protect members’ reproductive rights, promote addiction recovery and build support for the group’s after-school club.
The Satanic Temple and its members claim not to view Satan as an evil figure, but as one who dared question authority.
The group which opened its first official headquarters in Salem in 2016, mostly advocates for the separation of church and state and is known for attempting to get its one-ton goat-headed idol statue placed next to any monument commemorating the 10 Commandments on public grounds.
The Satanic Temple previously dedicated its conference in Scottsdale, Arizona to former Republican Mayor Jim Lane and former Republican Councilor Suzanne Klapp, who also denied a request for a satanic invocation at a City Council meeting.
Parents are furious over the Tehachapi Unified School District’s approval of the club
The After School Satan Club is meant to ‘educate children and encourage critical thinking’ (But, we have seen that in these gatherings they DECLARE that there is NO GOD. And the DEPROGRAM children from their religious upbringing.)
The Temple was in the news last month after an ‘After School Satan Club’ began hosting meetings at a California elementary school in Kern County.
In an interview with KBAK, one parent described the decision to allow the club, founded by the Satanic Temple and the Reason Alliance, as ‘disgusting,’ while another called it ‘a mistake.’
That kind of reaction was expected, according to Paul Hicks, the man who will lead the club at the Northern California school.
‘We’ve already gotten threats against us,’ said Paul Hicks, who is also a critical thinking professor. ‘As I would often say, there’s no hate like Christian love.’
‘I understand the school has to allow them because they allow other after school programs such as the good news, which is a Christian based after school program, that one I’m okay with, but I can’t imagine why anyone would want their child to attend this Satanic group,’ said Sheila Knight, a grandparent.
The club’s presence sparked outrage online with dozens of parents and community weighing in.
In a post made in the Techapi Asks, Rants, and Raves Facebook page, one man wrote that he believes the club’s organizers are being deceptive with their tactics and the motives.
‘So several people have told me that the new Satan after school club at Golden Hills elementary is not a religion, but a philosophy club … Then why did they choose Satan?Why not the Jean Paul Satre existentialism club? Why not the Descartes club?’ asked Joe Lathrop.
(Wait, so they are a religion when it serves their purpose, but when they need to be seen as NOT a Religion they are suddenly not.)
‘They put Satan in the name for a reason. People should stop being intellectually dishonest and just own up to the fact that they want kids to worship Satan as a secular god,’ the man continued.
‘Its just sick that they are targeting elementary school kids. Those are babies,’ wrote one woman.
‘The whole thing is a lark for a reaction,’ said a commenter.
‘The hypocrisy of the School Board.. saying they have no choice…just try starting a Neo Nazi Club or a Pro Life Club and see how fast they run,’ said another person.
The Satanic Temple’s website describes the club as a way to educate without proselytization.
(By targeting young children they are proselytizing. They are aiming to corrupt young minds before they are mature enough to discern evil. God placed the job of educating children in truth in the hands of the parents. If we allow these people to corrupt our young children, they will grow up to be godless, evil, rebellious, criminals.)
Greaves says that in spite of the controversial name, the organization does not teach Satanism to children.
That is a joke. REBELLION is what they teach. WHO is the KING OF REBELLION? They TEACH the Children that there is NO GOD and that they do not have to submit to AUTHORITY! They teach children to INDULGE their own desires. THAT IS WHO SATAN IS and What he represents. THEY are LYING… and WHO is the Father of Lies?)
‘We keep religious matters out of the teachings of the after school Satan clubs and people often ask us, “well then why include Satanism at all, being that people are going to be offended by it?”
This is the logo for The Satanic Temple
Despite the claim from Greaves, parents and family members of students say that the whole situation completely unsettles them.
‘Tehachapi said yes, and I think they made a mistake. I know my grandson will not be a part of this club,’ said Brenda Maher, another relative of a student.
In a statement released by the Tehachapi Unified School District, officials stated that it is against the law to discriminate against groups founded on Faith.
Wait, but I thought they said they are not a religion??
Hicks said it was the involvement of clubs like the Good News Club, already established on campus, that led to the decision to start The Satanic Temple endorsed group.
‘There’s currently a Good News Club there which is teaching kids to go save souls for Jesus, at the school. We want to give an alternative point of view,’ Hicks said.

The Satanic Children’s Big Book of Activities
Here’s the Entire “Satanic Children’s Big Book of Activities” To Make Your Day
Yesterday we told you about a plan by the Satanic Temple to pass out materials to Orange County, Florida students in response to a local Christian group that’s been allowed to do the same. For the uninitiated, the Satanic Temple is quite possibly the greatest ongoing troll campaign in the contiguous 48, constantly throwing conservative Christian hypocrisy back in the face of anyone who willfully lobbies to violate the separation of church and state. If Christians place, say, a garish stone monument to the Ten Commandments on the steps of the Oklahoma state capitol building, there will be the Satanic Temple, immediately constructing a giant goat-headed Baphomet statue to put right next to it. The message: you choose to bring your religion into a public space, violating the Constitution, then we get to bring ours.
The thing is, telling you about “The Satanic Children’s Big Book of Activities” isn’t nearly as much fun as showing it to you. And so, if you want to download it for yourself so that you and your family can play and learn, here’s the link to it.
This is what you’ll get:
Think about this: Imagery throughout history has been a powerful tool for conveying lessons, instilling beliefs, and reinforcing teachings. Imagery is a tool the devil always uses to corrupt the minds, hearts and souls of humanity. Imagery is a form of communication all by itself. The power of the tongue is beyond our understanding. The Bible says that the words that come out of our mouth is what will condemn us in the last day. Music and singing is a powerful way to bypass the mind and communicate directly to the spirit. What we write or draw or form with our own hands has power in the spirit. This is well demonstrated by how much more our mind retains when we write or take notes, rather than just hearing or reading. All these things are being used by the enemy to undo all that has been done by parents, church and extended family. They want to destroy all connection to God and TRUTH.
Have fun, kids. And remember — hail Satan.
What Mr. Mesner wants is for elementary school children to not be indoctrinated with a heaven or hell scenario, and to instead give these young children the opportunity to “reject all forms of tyranny over the human mind.” Seems heady stuff for a six year old.
To attend, children must have a parent sign a permission slip, just like any other school extra-curricular activities. The slip suggests that children signing up for the club should be curious, and claims that while your child spends time with the group after school, he or she will engage in learning to freely express ideas, participate in rational discourse, problem solving and character building. This sounds a little like what parents and grandparents are supposed to teach. After School Satan clubs will also focus on rational thought and critical thinking skills. What happened to After School Socrates? There’s nary a mention of Anton LeVay, who was the founder of the Church of Satan in the U.S. And After School Satan currently doesn’t discuss the existence of demonic entities, using pentagrams or the social implications of drinking blood. Maybe that’s the high school version.
The FAQ section of After School Satan says that those pesky evangelical Good News Clubs “robs the innocence and enjoyment of childhood.” And The Satanic Temple does make a clarion call to stop corporal punishment in schools. Is this genuine concern, or mere window dressing to garner recruitment from the broken and disenfranchised? You can tell a lot about a campaign when you look at its marketing strategy. After School Satan’s promotional video seems more like a horror film and less like an invitation for developing minds to explore art, creativity, free thought and a sweet afternoon non-GMO fruit snack.

THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS (TST)
Just like the 7 Noahide Laws and The Pope’s 10 commandments on climate change, and the tenets of the Abrahamic House pledge, on the surface, they may sound good and reasonable, but when you really dig in and familiarize yourself with the organizations behind it and their nature, beliefs, and agendas you will find the TRUTH.
The Temple of Satan knows exactly what they are doing. Every image, every word, every event is designed to lure humans of all ages into embracing evil. Of loving the devil and everything for which he stands. Rebellion, lie, self indulgence, sexual perversion, blood lust and evil activities of every kind. Don’t be fooled.
They HATE GOD and everything and everyone that belongs to HIM. They hate Christians for reaching out to share the GOOD NEWS of Salvation. Why? Because SATAN wants to control EVERY single mind, body and soul he can. He does not want you to truly hear and understand the GOOD NEWS. He is the one who has been behind every evil that was done in God’s name. He wants to blame God and the people of GOD for everything he does.
The following Video is posted here so that you can hear for yourself how they present themselves to the public.

The Satanic Temple held a convention over the weekend in Arizona, and Christian conservatives took a break from demanding religious exemptions to the law and arguing that refusing to spend money at businesses is “cancel culture” to protest the convention, call for a boycott of the hotel hosting it, and argue that the government should shut it down.
The Satanic Temple isn’t a religion in the sense of having a set of beliefs that it imposes on followers. Instead, it’s a group of people who organize as a religion and use humor to “highlight religious hypocrisy and encroachment on religious freedom.”
“Satan Conferences should not be protected by the First Amendment,” Kirk wrote. “Satan Worship is not what the Founders had in mind when they referenced the ‘fruits of liberty.’”
Many people showed up to protest the convention in person.
GOP candidate Jan Dubauskas promoted a “prayer vigil” in response to the convention.
“SatanCon will esppuse [sic] abortion as a religious right and raising children in a Satanic household,” she said, as if the government should be telling parents what religion to raise their children in. “We cannot stand politely aside!”
“We’re out here to let the Satanists know that there’s no place for evil in Arizona. And we’re here to combat that. And we’re here to say that Jesus is Lord,” a protestor named Marissa told Fox 10 News.
Another protestor tried to explain that Satanism is misogyny because of vaccines and abortion.

The Satanic Temple lost a lawsuit in 2018 after it sued for religious discrimination because it was barred from delivering an invocation before the Scottsdale, Arizona City Council, like other religions are allowed to do. The official reason the city gave for turning away the Satanic Temple was that it has no ties to Scottsdale.
“It’s fine that they will be here, and that’s certainly well within everybody’s rights,” former Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane (R) said when Satancon was announced last year. “We consider ourselves a very inclusive community.”

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5: 43-48
The whole world needs to see TRUE Christianity. The LOVE of GOD, in truth and righteousness.

Good News Clubs are voluntary after-school programs, some of them held at schools, where children can learn about the Bible and Christianity:
Good News Club is a ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship in which trained teachers meet with groups of children in schools, homes, community centers, churches, apartment complexes, just about anywhere the children can easily and safely meet with their parent’s permission. Each week the teacher presents an exciting Bible lesson using colorful materials from CEF Press. This action-packed time also includes songs, Scripture memory, a missions story and review games or other activities focused on the lesson’s theme.
As with all CEF ministries, the purpose of Good News Club is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.
CEF claims that “over 16.4 million children worldwide heard the Good News” last year.
Anti-God atheist activists hate this. For that matter, Satan hates the Good News Clubs. There’s nothing the Prince of Darkness fears more than little children hearing about the love of Jesus Christ. So the God-haters in The Satanic Temple have set their sites on the after-school Bible clubs. They openly admit it on their website—in fact, they are obsessed with Good News Clubs:
