Curious as to how long after learning of TST did it take you to call yourself a Satanist. Immediate? Gradual? Thanks.

    I’m well aware, that’s just a term used for a member of TST lmfao. Not everyone uses it, but many do. Satanist doesn’t need to mean belief in Satan, it just means member of TST.

      There are lots of Satanists who aren’t members of TST, and, as you noted yourself, not everyone in TST calls themselves a Satanist. So, being a Satanist is independent of membership in TST.

        Guys, I just picked a term to mean member of TST, that’s all. Nothing too deep. My question is just asking when someone would consider themselves a member, not just someone interested or aligned.

          I guess I don’t understand what you’re asking. You can consider yourself a member once you’ve filled out that form and given them your email address. You’re either a member or you aren’t.

          Maybe what you’re asking is: When did you consider yourself a TST Satanist? IOW, someone whose religion is Satanism and their church is TST.

            Maybe what you’re asking is: When did you consider yourself a TST Satanist?

            This is literally what I asked. That’s just “When did you officially consider yourself a member of TST?”, my question, in slightly different wording. I feel like I am on reddit right now.

            You can consider yourself a member once you’ve filled out that form and given them your email address

            That may be when you did, which is a valid answer to my question. Some may have different answers. I am interested in all answers.
