And I would agree with you, but blaming one specific group which has nothing at all to do with any of the horrible things we read about is wrong. It is wrong and it is irresponsible. This isn't the first time people have come here trying to blame the Temple of Set for things they had nothing...

Not to be rude, snide or otherwise snotty, but we had this discussion on the Johnny Gosch thread. Apparently, the Temple of Set is behind everything form Johnny Gosch to this case if you believe the heavy hint dropping. Again, I'm sincerely not trying to be rude, but the conspiracy theories...

Manson was not part of the Process Church, that's what I'm saying. There are those who would link Manson, Son of Sam and Zodiac to the same group which they believe is a wide-spread Satanic murder cult. No such thing exists.

Even the people who run charlesmanson.com scoff at the notion that Berkowitz and/or Manson were involved in a murderous cult. Geraldo apologized in public for his special on the subject, and while he is not accountable for what his guests said, I'd wager that he found the ones with the most...

I share your feelings about the OTO, though I do not know enough about them to truly comment. I've asked questions of followers, but information straight from the source is hard to come by. I prefer to ask followers rather than read what others have written because followers are closer to the...

The goat sucker is a favorite among my friends and I. One went to Mexico a few years ago and we all asked her to bring us back some as pets. :) The Process, Son of Sam myth, you're right it's more like a trashy pulp fiction novel than an urban myth. I look forward to reading your article...

Thanking you. :) You are correct, every faith has extremists and nut jobs. They don't define the belief system, but they do get most of the attention. I call it the newspaper factor. "Satanic group kicks puppies" sells more papers than "Satanic group feeds the homelsee." It's the same with...

I can start with a few simple refutations. Son of Sam claimed to be a member of The Process church at the time of the killings. The Process Church was defunct at the time of the killings. He claims the "Sam" in Son of Sam came from Samhain, the Celtic lord of the dead, there is no such Celtic...

Nah, it didn't take guts at all. Just a big mouth and a large soapbox :) Satanists, and when I say that, I'm refering to groups like the Church of Satan, don't worship Satan at all. The thing to remember about Anton LaVey is, he was a showman. He knew what would really rile people up and he...

I thought I read somewhere that his body was found, I guess I was confused. I could have sworn I read that his body was found near their old home. That's what I get for believing the rumor mill. I too remember his picture from the Soul Asylum video. I'm wondering a few things here, if the...

I know I'll get jumped all over again for saying this,but since the question was asked, I feel I have just as much right as everyone else to answer it. No, there is no cult, Satanic or otherwise at work here. There hasn't ever been any evidence of an organized Satanic cult murdering or...

I'm guessing the customer took a pass on the snake. :eek: The cop did a great thing. I'd have passed out and then gone all fetal in the corner, snakes are my own private hell.

I don't think it's going to work for all offenders, but I would like to see an in-depth study done. If it does prove to work, I say go for it. It's not a one-size fits all solution and it's not a one-size fits all problem. I seriously think that offenders will just use other things when...

It could be that somebody at least tried to keep an eye on her. It's hard to understand if you haven't been there, but sometimes people with mental illnesses just take off and there's nothing anybody can do to stop them. My sister has done this twice in the past week. If she were to end up a...

Well then that makes two of us, because I'm not buying your story either. Sorry, but "deprogramming" was be debunked several times over. I'm not surprised that the same old "no evidence equals a great cover-up" gets trotted out every time somebody who actually knows something about the...

Perhaps some clarification would be in order then. I know many former and current members of the Temple of Set and they have all said the same things, scaring and killing animals for any reason is not done. I don't want to turn this in to some sort of argument over the Temple of Set, but when...

Just to add the voice of a member of the Temple of Set to this discussion, I spoke with a friend of mine tonight and since some information that is not correct was posted earlier, I'd like to correct it. Straight from the Temple of Set, they do not kill animals, scar their members or any such...

I'll take 1980 to start with. Is that OK by you?

And which group would these people be a member of? I've not heard any of those things except in fiction. And I've known many Satanist from many different paths including Setians. I'm asuming you mean members of the Temple of Set, correct?

It is, but most people tend to leave out the other part of that belief, personal responsibility for the consequences of one's actions. Two of the other fundamental beliefs are "Do not harm little children" and "Do not harm animals." As it was put to me some time ago, if a person feels like...
