Well this is my first post, so here we go lol. Im 19 years old and an ex LaVey satanist. I was re-introduced to christianity several weeks ago by my eldest sister, so still learning the ropes and ways hehe. It took a truly terrifying experience to make me realise that there was nothing for me to turn to when humans couldnt help. I stopped sleeping at night, and during the day i had nightmares. Alcohol abuse and self mutilation quickly followed. My sister decided that intervention was needed and she bought me a bright pink bible. As hideous as it was and it sticks out like a sore thumb in my predominantly black room, it gave me something to ponder on. She had book marked a specific verse, Psalms 91 and told me to read it if the pestilence came back. So i did. It has since left me alone (i also had that verse added to my tattoo collection on my forearm as a reminder). For the first time i had help in the last place i would have looked for it. I have since burned my Book of Shadows and the Satanic Bible, and thrown out my pendants and other material containing the Rams Head. I also snapped my Manson and Cradle of Filth CD'S, for the purpose of erasing ties to that stage of my life. Hopefully turning to God will be enough to get my life back on track. Thanks for reading. Peace.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
So here i am.

Good for you...what I always found amusing about Satanism is that in order to be a Satanist you must first believe in God and Jesus Christ. I feel most Satanists are Christians who merely are looking for a reason to change.
Good luck on your path...

Lol, thank you all for your words of encouragement. As for satanists... Well LaVey's teachings are based on how there is no satan or god. They term themselves as satanists because satan means "adversary". Rebellion, mostly against certain views that society and other religions hold. None the less amusing though hehe.

Greetings in the Name of Jesus.. 
When a person moves from godlessness to God, it is the same as moving from darkenss to light. Jesus says in the 3rd chapter of John, "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed."
You have begun the journey out of darkness into light, which is God's truth. His truth will change and transform you as you accept His truth and begin to live by it. If you would like some assistance in moving forward into the light and learn the first basic fundamental truths about God and how to know Him personally, just go to my profile page and drop me a note. I have developed some resources to help on this journey, which are free. Blessings.

AMEN!!!! Excellent post OTO! Gotta love the Gospel of John. Come into the Light of Life thru the Faith that is of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ!! http://www.scripture4all.org/
Isaiah 60:1 Arise!, shine!; that your light came, and glory of YHWH on you He radiates.
2 For behold!, the darkness is covering land, and gross-darkness peoples; and over you YHWH is being radiant, and His glory over you is appearing.
3 And Nations go to Thy Light, and Kings to brightness of thy rising/radiance.
Matt 4:16 The people, the one-sitting in darkness perceived a Light, great.
And/also to-the ones-sitting in part and shadow of death, a Light springs-up to-them.
John 1:3 All-things thru Him became and apart-from Him became not-yet one-thing which has become.
4 In Him Life was, and the Life was the Light of the men.

Welcome. Your sister must be overjoyed. Make sure you talk to her everyday. You may have some hard times ahead of you and it is very important to have real life Christian support, especially if you have friends from your old life still around.

Thank God for a sister who cares - she snatched you right out of the pit of hell.
This is wonderful news and the angels in Heaven are rejoicing. As stated in the post above, you might have a little bit of a problem at times, the enemy does not like to let go when he has a hold on you and will try to tempt you, just remember what is in you is greater than what is in the world.
Just ask for forgiveness for the unbelief and ask Jesus into your heart, which I am sure you have alread done as your light shines forth from the joy of the Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with His presence - walk hand in hand with Jesus and led by the Holy Spirit and your life will take on new meaning and God will fill your heart with joy.
The Bible tells us that the angels rejoice over every new convert - you are important to God and he has called you out of the darkness. You will have a great call on your life because you can be a witness and a light for others to shine forth.
If you can find a church that has a good youth group, it will help you. Being around other people who loves the Lord will help you and give you support. Stay close to that sweet sister.
You are a strong person to come through this with a joyfull attitude and carrying your light for Jesus so proudly. Let us know anytime you feel down or feel the road is a bit bumpy because here are caring people on here that can help.
Blessings upon you.

You know what - your name is misleading - you are NOT another lost sheep - you are a child of God, sitting on the right hand, the Bible tells us we are Priests and Kings and Saints. If you so choose to change your name I will give you the reps to do so - because you are not LOST.

Yes indeed, Sharon - a royal priesthood. Let Him come into your life for He will fill it more fully and more effectively than anything else ever could.
I'm so delighted for you. Life on this earth as a Christian is not a bed of roses but we look for the real bed of roses in future, when we will be in the presence of God. Hallelujah!
Now go find yourself a church to join!

Welcome!
I can certainly relate to your story as I used to follow LaVey as well a few years ago - it left me with little hope or true aspirations. Glad you made it here.
You have my greatest respect because I still haven't been able to get rid of my own Cradle of Filth CDs and it takes a great amount of courage to do that!
