oh, you meant 'the CoS is not for you'... that's different than
saying "Satanism is not for you"... you're cleverly switching from
general Satanism to specific CoS membership... that's a whole
other topic... i have no interest in reading the Satanic Bible or
becoming a CoS member...

I agree with you and that was funny.

I watched a show on Las Vegas slot machines the other day and they
talked about sucker bets and how people tried to project patterns onto
slot machines.

Slot machines are, basically, mindless random number generators with
bells and whistles.

Every bet is random and the mindless machines don't have patterns or
"remember" anything.

Another good example is how humans also try to do this with the
Roulette Wheel. Just because you win 20 bets on red doesn't mean the
21st bet will be red too.

But I will be open-minded and say that one might be able to affect the
outcomes with Magic and cause the tumbler to fall into place. But that
would have to be tested and an entirely subjective opinion. If you do
get results I suggest not telling "everyone". ;-P

As far as religion, humans do this with their created gods.

The arrogance of those who think the poor 'ole little CoS needs their
help amuses me.

How does anyone know whether or not the CoS is doing good or bad when
they don't make their membership numbers public?

Furthermore, the CoS isn't about membership numbers, let me paraphrase
Anton Szandor LaVey, "quality is more important than quantity".

The CoS doesn't need your help.

The CoS is a CABAL[!] of like-minded "individuals" and NOT a cult of
"followers" looking for a "church" to join.

I understand most will never get this BUT this is how it has been since
1966.

Here is a quick tip: If you want some fluffy title then join some other
cooky devil-worshipping "church" and not the CoS.

The Apostasy.

The apostle Paul, in his second letter to the Thessalonians, foretold
the great apostasy which would result in the establishment of the papal
power. He declared that the day of Christ should not come, "except there
come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,
or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
showing himself that he is God." [2 THESS. 2:3, 4, 7.] And furthermore, the
apostle warns his brethren that "the mystery of iniquity doth already work."
[2 THESS. 2:3, 4, 7.] Even at that early date he saw, creeping into the
church, errors that would prepare the way for the development of the papacy.

THE NIGHTMARE OF A NATION
The Independent Kingdom of Croatia, having thus officially sprung into
existence, set forth with burning zeal to fulfill all the hopes so
obstinately entertained by its religious and political promoters: the
Vatican and Fascism. Inspired by the graciously remote majesty of good King
Tomislav II, under the patronage of His Holiness the Pope, protected by
Hitler, watched by Mussolini, ruled by Catholic terrorists, and policed by
Catholic bayonets, the New Croatia began to transform itself into the ideal
commonwealth as advocated by Catholic tenets.

A State, however, according to papal dicta must be regulated not only by
civil but also by religious authority. So Pavelic, having determined that a
religious equivalent of himself should partake of...

No! as they are not authentically baptised as adults.
They are uselessly unscripturally 'christened' as hapless babies without any
belief in Christ what-so-ever.

Jesus himself stated "He that BELIEVETH and is baptised, shall be saved"

Perhaps the text really reads, "I have been shown that we live amid the
perils of the last days"?

These are not your words. When they were written, the term "daguerrean
saloons" did not yet equate to "photo shops". You are quoting extensively
from Ellen White, a fellow founder of the SDA, along w/ Rev. William Miller
and others. These people called themselves "Seventh Day" because they were
Sabath observers, celebrating common worshp on Saturday. They were called
"Adventist" because those people (not the current so-called followers)
believed in the second coming in the mid nineteenth century. Thus, Ms.
White says she lives in the last days. Yet her followers, over a hundred
years later, tend to deny that she lived in the end of the age. Can you
explain why?
