Please do NOT try to join this group without FIRST following our screening procedure as explained below.

This forum is for theistic Satanists who were brought up in (or are otherwise deeply familiar with) at least one of the more intense forms of Christianity, such as Protestant fundamentalism, Pentecoostalism, or the more doctrinaire forms of Catholicism or Orthodoxy.

To help keep out both Christian evangelists and obnoxious unholier-than-thou Satanists, we require that all who join us must FIRST either (1) participate in a few rounds of dialogue in one or more of our public Theistic Satanism forums or (2) send a fairly detailed message to the moderators telling us about yourself, your current spiritual beliefs, and your religious background and history.

IMPORTANT: Before you post, please read both the rules for the Theistic Satanism forums in general and some additional rules for this forum in particular.

It is also recommended (though not required) that you read For Theistic Satanists from ultra-Christian backgrounds (as I am too) on Diane Vera's Theistic Satanism site.

All posts in this forum will automatically be given the tag  [T-S-x-h-X]  in the subject line. But the email address will be Theistic-Satanists-ex-hard-Xian@yahoogroups.com
