Getting out of The Satanic Temple

The Satanic Temple used this person (Randi) to gather info that would later be used in the Temple's ongoing SLAPP lawsuit against us. At the time, this person didn't know what TST was really like; now they know better.

Being used and then disposed of is a path many ex-TST have walked before.

Randi @snailwhisperer

Something has been bothering me for the last year in regards to everything that went down in the Washington Chapter of The Satanic Temple. Well, a lot of things really. Tst has never really provided context for why the fb page was taken over and what led to that happening. Why they didn't want those people in particular to look into it I am not sure. One of the members did look into it because they felt they were closer to the person who made the complaint and could more information. I was new to the leadership email and chat and I did NOT receive that email, but I did see the resulting chat. The chat got very heated and the chapter heads turned off the chat and said they would figure this out soon. The next day they removed everyone who received the email, except for maybe 2 people. I believe that was about a dozen members who had been in leadership roles that were suddenly removed without warning. They held a meeting and said basically that they had removed the members but there wasn't really a solid explanation as to why. Members kept asking in subsequent meetings but there was never a real answer. At this point I was really not sure what should be done but I thought there was still a chance things could be fixed, maybe worked out with those members removed and added back in. At this point is when the fb page was taken over. A member who had been removed still had admin access and so they removed all the other admins and took over the page. When they took over the page they posted a lot of links to stories about bad stuff in Lucien's past and bad experiences of former members. As far as I read some of the things were subjective but all of them were real. Nothing they posted was a lie. I was mad that the chapter was going down in flames from the page having these posts on it and I still was really in the mindset of wanting to be in TST. I really wanted to belong to a group of morally conscious satanists. I stuck with TST and I even provided them with the screenshot they have reposted of one of the defendants saying they stole the webpage from TST. I was upset about the page been taken over and I am still not saying that was the right move. I do understand what led to them doing it, and so far I haven't seen anyone else say how it happened. I was told by leadership that they were going to talk about what the mistakes they made that lead to this and I waited for that to happen for a few months. When I left the new members contacted me saying they felt like something was off and told me that they were told that the group of people that were removed( and now being sued by TST) were kicked out because they were violent ANTIFA members. I do not have any friendships with the people who are being sued. I still have several friends in TST, some of who I may lose due to this. My friends never really saw the behind-the-scenes of what happened just the Official story from TST and so I doubt they agree with me. I could probably elaborate a lot more on pieces of all of this but that is the cliff notes.

1 14 45

1. Are looks important in a relationship? - sad to say, yes. but its not the main priority though. if that makes sense. you should be attracted to the person you like, and if you are then i dont see what the problem is(unless their personality is shit)

14. Do you have a crush on anyone? - yes, i do.

and there was no 45, atleast on the last one i reblogged.

So did y'all exclude transmascs from this article https://queersatanic.com/the-satanic-temple-cannot-help-you-get-an-abortion-and-it-does-not-deserve-your-support/ for fun? Cause "women and nonbinaries" isn't the inclusivity one would expect from a queer satanic blog.

Without trying to be insulting, this is literally just a reading comprehension issue on your part.

That being the case, we're going to drop the section you're talking about below the jump for full context.

"Many women and nonbinary people who have spoken out" is not a gesture at inclusivity. It's describing the specific collection of people that immediately follow and are linked to: trans women, cis women, and nonbinary people.

Unless someone's gender identity has changed, we don't have any men included in that list, and in the case of trans men specifically, we don't have examples of such people speaking out about this.

Many women and nonbinary people who have spoken out about problems among TST’s leadership as a persistent issue, although from top people this has slowed down in recent years, likely due to TST threatening critics with legal action for supposedly violating Non-Disparage Agreements they forced top people to sign (and yes, continue to use):

Gah thanks baby cakes! I miss you so much but you are deff making me feel better. 😘😘

[swallowedhandfulsofnight]

Welp I'm pretty nervous about it.

[queersatanic]

The second tragedy, of course, is how many people still remain in that organization, unaware of the extent to which they're being groomed to follow that path as well.

Wylie Replying to @snailwhisperer

I’m one of the people referenced in this thread and I have to admit and apologize, but I don’t remember you. I will say there’s about a week of time missing, however, between the email about the former member’s complaint and our removal. Next tweet for summary of that week… After that email, which I composed with help from one or two folks in leadership (one of which was removed with me), I was bullied relentlessly, which ended up digging up instances of ableism, transphobia, and fatphobia which had been used against me in TST for years. A few of the folks had no idea they had even been kicked out. All of us discovered it. No one told us. I wasn’t involved in what happened after that [the Facebook page incident. Lots of folks claimed they were kicked out for that, but it’s the wrong order of events. Kicked out first. And fb agreed it was within their rights, as admins/owners of the page, to do] but it’s awfully convenient no witnesses of the complaint remained but one, and they quit too almost immediately. This person still had donations that had yet to be distributed in storage. They tried multiple times to get folks to distribute them, to no avail. It’s almost as if TST didn’t actually care about distributing donations they had collected. They ended up distributing on their own. And remember, this person was NOT kicked out. Even though they played a more active role than some who were. They ended up leaving because of all this. I heard the lies told about everything in that first zoom call and it was just… incredible. The lengths gone to. But yeah, once the witnesses were gone, they could say whatever they wanted, couldn’t they? And there was no one left to correct them or say any different. 🤷🏼‍♀️ And anyone who thought about it might have felt like they’d be next.
