Father Satan states in the Black Book we are to keep his secrets. For those under 18, many of you are forced to go to church and/or participate in Christian ceremonies. Father Satan understands and knows you are not free because you are under 18. When one is 18 or over age 18, in the USA, one is a legal adult and this is a different matter.

For those who are under 18, when forced to go to church, just concentrate on Father Satan. Don't take part in any of the prayers. If you are forced to take the communion host, you can hold it in your mouth, ask to use the restroom and spit it in the toilet.

Read sermons and positive writings about Satan every day as this will help you in many ways in the face of oppression.

As for those over 18 in the USA, you have the legal right to do your own thing. You can politely refuse anything they try to push on you. Once you are 18, you are acting on your own choice and this is a different matter. Satanists are strong and unless the consequences are serious or life threatening, one should openly refuse. In situations during the holidays, to keep the peace one can just remain silent if others insist on praying. You can also pray silently to Satan.

When your parents suspect, or find out you are a Satanist, the popular culture images will come to their head. They will think that you are in a cult, that you are into drugs, that you are a skinhead [even if you are Black] or that you are currently in a self destructive phase because you don't even understand what is going on with your life.

Any parent who cares for their children, will be scared of this, and monitor the situation closely or try to stop it. Careless parents may not care. More open minded parents may make a consideration. It all depends on the people in question.

Generational gap of understanding can also come in question. You may be let's say 18 and your parents may be 38 or 48. The generational gap of understanding can be very large. What you read in the JoS over 1 month, your parents have not seen possibly in one lifetime.

Ideas that we are open to experiment with, have been forcibly kept out of the minds of previous generations.

They are looking at the subject from outside the door and the fortress looks scary through their rose colored glasses. They do not know that you advance spiritually, that we have a strong opposed policy against drugs, that the meditations do good to the mind, body and soul, fixing endless issues. They will not understand that your capacity to do magick can be lifesaving, or that you came to these decisions after free will and study.

[...]

For those who regardless try to breach this whole of lies to get to their parents, or family members, know that this can be an extremely difficult task. The degree of impossibility can be high. Most parents believe that they completely own children, and have no faith in the decisions of their own children.

The reality is as I see it from the parental perspective, that the above is really CORRECT most of the time. Most parents are rightfully scared, as most young people do the most stupid, threatening, and potentially damning choices. Since the odds that one's kids have done some extremely wise or positive decision can be really low, they can be mistrustful, but you can possibly almost never convince them in Spiritual Satanism, unless you are at least older.

It is almost a hopeless situation to try to explain these to parents as these strong cases of closed minds persist and are necessary to parenthood. Indeed, when one is a parent, they'll see that for themselves. Children tend to do fuckups and mistakes more often than not. This includes trusting wrong people, damaging themselves, and taking life decisions that can be negative.

If you are under-age and living in a Christian home, Satan understands. Do the best you can until you are of legal age and can practice your religion freely. Satan wants his people to be safe. Satan states in the Al-Jilwah:

"Do not mention my name nor my attributes, lest ye regret it; for ye do not know what those who are without may do."
