"First Church of Satan" FUQ

(Frequently Unanswered Questions)


Since its formation some months ago, the so-called "First Church of
Satan" (FCoS), headed by John Dewey Allee (aka Lord Egan, Daimon/Daemon
Egan), has come under close scrutiny regarding its intentions and
organizational policies. For the most part, any and all questions
submitted to this organization by prospective members, established
affiliates, and those opposing it are answered with the "First Church of
Satan" FAQ file. This file has in the past been erroneously titled
"alt.satanism FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)" on the UseNet newsgroup
alt.satanism and then reposted as a body-less reply by various FCoS
members, in violation of
UseNet and most ISP's terms of service. In many cases this "FAQ" seems
to answer questions never actually asked while sidestepping the actual
questions posed.

To further confuse matters, John Dewey Allee has insisted that many of
the "answers" gathered here in the "Frequently Unanswered Questions"
file below, are the result of a "smear campaign" waged by his opponents,
being either edited to fit their agendas or completely fabricated. A
simple search of DejaNews at http://www.deja.com/home_ps.shtml will
prove the authenticity of most of the messages provided below, while
the rest can be obtained by FCoS e-list members by searching their
database at http://www.egroups.com/group/fcos. Replies and comments have
been included for plain old-fashioned good measure.

This "FUQ" (pronounced... that's right, you got it!) will be
updated/reformatted and posted periodically, as necessary, as Dewey
continues to spread misinformation. This is currently a partial
collection of data and anyone having hard information they would like to
see added to the "First Church of Satan" FUQ file may do so by sending

Q: I have heard that John Dewey Allee (aka Lord Egan) has renounced
Satanism in the past and has even gone as far as stating that "Satanism

I began my journey on the Left-Hand Path as a member of the First Church
of Satan back in 1970, when Anton LaVey spearheaded a movement which
brought together aspects of objectivism, sexual freedom, rational
self-interest, ritual magick and laissez faire politics.

Let there be no doubt about it - SATANISM IS DEAD!

The spirit of Milton's Satan, prideful, reserved, always the
gentlemen...he is dead too - dead, buried and GONE! All one has to do is
look upon
those who call themselves satanists - they are the dredge of society -
Nietzschian superman wannabees with little or no substance - flaming ego
trips who would rather vent their spleen than ride the whirlwinds.

You have BECOME what Anton loathsomely described; "Tittering pustules of
mystic wisdom." The Satanic Bible was to serve as an initial
proclamation, a "leaping off point" by the author's own admission...
instead, we have the "Kennel of Satan" as Aquino used to call it, those
who
are locked into a tightly knit cabal-without-a-clue!

Tearfully, I tore my the inverted pentagram from above my altar and
placed it point up. I am now a WICCAN. I have made no mistakes, I have
only
learned the lessons and must continue to grow!!

Q: I have heard that the John Dewey Allee (aka Lord Egan) advocates
bestiality/zoophilia (sexual relations with non-human animals). Is this
true?

Notice how Belial takes the word "abuse" and uses it as a crude
catchword to describe behaviors he disagrees with. Let me tell you of a
true
experience I once had;

I worked as a night watchman at a paper mill here in Massachusetts many
years ago. During that time, I caught two employees ("union brothers")
committing grand larceny. Because I put my job above crank socialist
comradery, I reported the theft to the proper authorities. Thereafter,
there were threats against my life (nothing new).

Due to concern for my saftey, the company hired a bodyguard from the
local constabulary, often referred to as a "police officer."

The officer had as his companion, a german shepherd. When he pulled up
his pant leg to tie his shoe, I noticed a distinctive tattoo which
identified him as a member of a mafia syndicate, linked to a crime
family. I found this all very upsetting of course, never realizing that
oneday "gangstas" would become fashionable in the U.S.

When I accidently brushed up against the police officer, the police dog
SNARLED at me! I asked the officer why he was so unfriendly. He
responded, "That's nothing! If you were to attack me, he'd rip your
throat out!" He then produced a small jar of vaseline petroleum jelly
and
said, "You see, I have him trained. I take care of him sexually and we
are bonded for life. He'll kill anyone who tries to hurt me."

The officer then proceeded to put his arms around the dog, patting him
around the back and neck, while the animal eagerly licked his face. Then
he turned to me and said, "And you'd better believe, I'd do the same for
him." I stood there, absolutely STUNNED INTO SILENCE.

He assured me that other officers privately use this technique to
adjunct the assigned dogs "official training." It was a clever technique
used
to insure unequivocal loyalty in life-or-death situations.

Well... I thought about it and thought about it... It was fairly
apparent that this man loved his dog more than his wife and kids - it is
also a
fact that, in nature, where life-or-death situations are a common
occurrence, love and survival are often intertwined. That's right, love,
that
all important four-letter word that "narcissistic nihilists" scoff at -
those assholes who equate death and destruction with Satanism.

Let me repeat this once more for the benefit of the FCoS priesthood;

"In nature, where life-or-death situations are a common occurence, love
and survival are often intertwined." Satanists are survivors! Those who
deny love, deny Satan! Please get it STRAIGHT.

And on the issue of zoophilia, pedophilia, where true nurturing,
bonding, survival and love are involved? I say no one has the right to
draw a
line in the sand. NO ONE, Priest Green. No one.

Q: I have heard that it is John Dewey Allee's (aka Lord Egan) intention,
through the use of the COS's trademarked logo, to undermine the Church
Of Satan by dragging them into a legal battle and also thereby confusing
prospective COS members through the use of the COS's trademarked logo.

Dark Greetings Dear Friends...

This message is to announce that I now have my very own trademark -
serial number:75/675323  filing basis: Sect. 1 (b)  (Intent to Use) For:
stationary (class 016), mugs, club masthead (class 021) and t-shirt
(class 025)

Isn't life wonderful? The Mark says: THE FIRST CHURCH OV SATAN, with a
"V," thereby circumventing the rule of "no two words together" as far as
the CoS is concerned. In other words, they cannnot even contest its
admission. And since one cannot trademark the word "church" or "satan,"
I'd
say we are pretty well covered.

Understand, this is merely a precautionary step if I should ever find
myself in a precarious situation (which is highly doubtful). It has been
my intent to draw the CoS out into a very costly and protracted legal
battle over the name "First Church of Satan." Then, when they have
exhausted their resources beyond repair, I'll simply "pull this rabbit
out of my hat."  Realize, I have a bagful of legal manuevers I'm just
itching to try out!!

It's also comforting to know that all CoS documents are now a matter of
public record.
Why, I even have a batch of private Communiques! Of course, since CoS
members have made copyrighted Temple of Set material public - I felt the
LEAST I could do is return the favor! Hey, did ya hear the one about
Peter Gilmore? He dined at a chinese-german restaurant. A half hour
later,
he was hungry... for POWER!

A description of the mark follows:  The mark consists of a design on a
black background. On the left is the medieval "sigil of Baphomet,"
cropped in a certain way so that only one hebrew character shows on the
outer rim. The "sigil" is white - the center consists of a five-pointed
star or pentagram super imposed over the head of a goat.
To the right of the "sigil" are words in metallic-looking sirona style
fonts which read "The First Church ov Satan."

I've been biting my lip for months now... no more! You people want a
"pedophile confession?" You're going to get one.

Attached is a sexy photo of my ex-gay lover, Lestat Ventrue. Happy?? I
also have handwritten love letters from him - much too graphic to post
here. Our favorite activity revolved around him "playing dress up" and
being "daddy's little girl." Because of our considerable age difference,
our relationship took on a strong "pedophilic flavor."

We split apart because Lestat was always seeking to "prove his manhood."
He flitted from one girlfriend, and when homosexual panic set in and he
couldn't perform, he flitted to another girlfriend, then back to me,
crying...

I finally couldn't take it anymore - yes, I LOVED HIM, but he was
ripping my heart out!! I had to get off the merry-go-round or die from
the
centrifugal force! Yes, I love these poor confused boys - but why am I
the one who always gets punished?? I give them my heart and they STOMP
on
it, then YOU people make me out to be a monster!! (You know who you are
- I won't mention names).

For crying out loud, leave me alone. I have suffered enough...Why can't
we talk about SATANISM??!! Forget my peccadillos.

Q: I have been told that John Dewey Allee (aka Lord Egan) received a
cease and desist order from the Church Of Satan's lawyer which he in
turn
claimed was falsified. Upon realizing the cease and desist order was in
fact the real deal he then claimed it was served through some sort of
magical intervention and then proceeded to make outlandish claims of his
own impending curse (yet unfulfilled) upon the COS and its High
Priestess.

FCoS Members,

I must apologize... I had a bad day...

I discovered the "cease and desist order" from Blanche Barton's lawyer
was for real! It arrived in the mailbox with a powerful curse attached
to
it - I didn't know the bitch had it in her, but she must have received
help. For instance, I know that Andre Schlesinger was involved in this
curse and they were planning this for months! A cumulative energy
thingie...

Very impressive and very clever by the way. They did exactly what I
would have done and before the message even arrived, I could feel stress
building up inside myself days in advance!! So, I REALLY MUST apologize
to Rev.Valek for losing my cool.

Well, that was one day of intolerable stress - and  now it's past - the
curse failed - and I assure you,  payback is going to be a BITCH!

Watch your calender, Blanche. June will be the month we strike the first
nail in the CoS coffin. I'm an old hand at legal maneuvers - your
lawyers will be pissing their panties... but then, you'd know all about
that...

Ohhhh Kevin... I thought we were friends! Now that you've resorted to
pulling a red herring of supposed "child molestation" out of your hat
(courtesy again of the Gilmores) does this mean I've won the argument?
Of course it does.

For the record, I suggest you go and read and post (to the appropriate
newsgroup) the official NAMBLA position. I support each and every one of
their articles to this day along with the controversial positions of
many other organizations...

In my lifetime, I have been a member of NAMBLA, the Socialist Workers
Party, the Libertarian Party, the Church of Scientology, the Sexual
Freedom League, the Hare Krishna movement, the Nazis, the Buddhist
Temple in Boston, the Church of Satan, Temple of Set, ACT-UP and
others...
and I will defend to the death their right to free speech and their
right to exist - all of them.

This does not necessarily mean that I agree or disagree with everything
they say. However, it should point out that I am an exceedingly rare
type of individual who has a very unusual and unique perspective on life
- I suggest you start living your OWN life Kevin.

You are a flaming queen obsessed with destroying the lives and
reputations of other people. Just be thankful you are not my boyfriend -

The fact that you can defend gay-bashers like Rev Shit-slinger sickens

Why did I REMAIN a member? Can I venture a guess? Dr. Aquino, since the
early Church of Satan when he was Grand Secretary to present day has
some pretty sensitive information on me - my social security number, my
address, etc...  with his "contacts" it wouldn't be hard to get hold of
my police record, etc...

>From the time I was born TO THIS DAY, I do not have as much as a
speeding ticket or "accusation" of any kind - my record is spotless...
I'm 47
and have never SEEN the inside of a courtroom.

Now, I am asking you in all sincerity, Paul Douglas Valentine - use your
head - you've "been around the block" more than once - if I was a
sexual predator or a criminal of any kind, don't you think someone would
have said something by now amid all the hysteria?

I met Jim when he was "barely legal" - I was 16 years older than him -
many considered me a "predator" because I was/am attracted to younger
men
- you'd better "define your terms" first. Jim is now 31 years old and if
we had it all to do over again we would. I like you, have NOTHING to
hide. I'm proud of the father/son type of relationship we've had. DAMN
proud.

My first love affair was with a divorced woman with two children. I was
not quite "legal" but very depressed and had just attempted suicide -
the intimacy and love that woman gave me renewed my self-image and saved
my life. In a sense, my innocence saved hers since she was embittered
towards men in general.

My parents called the welfare bureau and attempted to have her children
taken away from her - we evaded the authorities by some miracle and
ended up getting married. Later, we joined the Church of Satan... later,
parted as friends (no, homosexuality wasn't the issue - it revolved
around her own personal Xeper).

It started when I was in a streetcar back in the seventies. I saw a
woman reading "Lord of the Rings," a popular fantasy-fiction novel that
was
the RAGE! About the wee people from middle earth. It made me sick how
people were always looking for an escape. That night I looked at myself
in
the mirror and exclaimed, "I am SO bored of the rings!"

That night I went to sleep. When I woke up, the hobbits were in my
bedroom - one was washing and drying her clothes! It took 30 seconds of
sitting up and rubbing my eyes for them to disappear - yes, I realize I
must have been stuck in a twilight state of consciousness, but this was
no mere hallucination.

This is the REAL definition of the "becoming thing" that Setians love to
rave about.

The Universe - just when you think you've got it all figured out,
something <whacks> you upside of the head and you see it all
differently. Yes,
elves, gremlins, faeries exist - and they are not mere byproducts of
