Hello, i am a visitor not a member, with perhaps stupid questions.
I've had a feeling for some time now that certain changes were coming, starting just before the name change from JoS to ToZ, a feeling that a great expansion would be announced. (i spoke with another "Satanist" (not JoS) friend about it, trying to convince him to join the forums, not sure if he did.) I like the changes i've seen so far, well mostly, overall (personal disclaimers after my questions).
Questions are these:
1 How do these updates relate to the doctrine of secrecy which was often mentioned in JoS days? Will Zevists now be welcome (if individuals choose) to be open about faith, the Gods, teachings, etc? To share with others? To one day claim religious freedom? Will this faith become aboveground?
2 Related to this, might there someday be official Zevist published material, like physical books?
Thank you
ps
my disclaimers:
I beg you all for patience. Some of the new language is very advanced, even moreso than before. i have cognitive disabilities which makes leaning new words and concepts a bit harder, so reading a "little at a time" is what i have to work with. My mind can't handle a lot of advanced material at once.
The autoreplace of the old J word to the new has confused me, as old discussions about race genetics nations etc now do not read clearly, & muddy my mind as to what the enemy current really is. I re-read the new info but it seems vague to me. Is the enemy clarified as essentially the spirit of hating humanity, life, and Earth? If so that's a big one. Life- hating is everywhere.
i guess i wish instead of autoreplace there had been like an autodisclaimer at the top of each thread, like "this discussion deals with topics which are based on outdated knowledge, the Gods have revealed a greater truth, click here," etc etc. So that the importance of the new vocabulary is made clear it is not a direct translation but a new revelation.
But really i'm just babbling. i have not dedicated.
i have long wanted to, i do dearly Love the Name "Satan" (Truth").
But i was put off by adopting as my own a name so strongly associated with an egregore used by the enemy to embody lies and deception. i didnt want to stumble into a spiritual warfare carrying a label which billions of people are directing hate & fear towards, as "the bad guy." i know is not true of the Gods and of Him. But i felt to weak to stand up against the hate & fear focused towards that name (which again i personally and privately Love)
So i am not a Zevist, i am an outsider and as such admit my ignorance and understand that answers towards me may be hard.
