  • don’t date satanists
    somehow i would think this is common sense, but ironically, common sense isn’t common. i heard from a friend today that i haven’t talked to in close to a year. we’ll call her n, because that’s her name. when we had last talked, she had met this guy a few weeks previously and had completely fallen for him. she had told me he was really nice and all the other things people want in a relationship. then she dropped this one on me:
    “he’s a non-practicing satanist”
    the first words out of my mouth:
    “get the fuck away from him. bad things will happen. people mess with things they don’t comprehend and there are repercussions.”
    she said she understood….then 2 weeks later she disappeared off the face of the earth.
    i received a phone call from her today, happy to hear from her. we exchanged what we’ve been up to and this is how she’s been:
    - she’d died and been revived because of heroin her boyfriend had given her
    - she totalled her car
    - lost her job
    - tried to commit suicide and subsequently checked her self into an institution
    - said institution consistently overdosed her on anti-psychotics, which sent her into frenzies of hallucinations and seizures.

    i doubt i’ll be hanging out with her until she loses the boyfiend. (misspelling intentional).

  • boyfiend…i like it…

    good call on that one

  • does she have a Venus Neptune problem?
    Wondering.

  • Damn!  That is terrible to hear.

  • i’ll be sure to do that…the not dating satanists bit.

  • “don’t date anarchist drug dealers” is also very good advice, but I did that for six months! damn that love is blind thing!

    hope your friend gets her life straight.

  • holeeee shit. that’s some bad vibes acting out there.

  • thanx for the tip (and for propping me )

  • ouchie.

  • ahh, sometimes when you fall for someone, you just forget about everything..

    hope things get better for her~

  • mother of pearl, that’s pretty heinous.  and she’s STILL with him??

  • Overpowering attraction/devotion is bullshit. Being lazy and irresponsible are the only reasons people refuse to look objectively at a relationship. Love doesn’t make someone THAT blind.

  • Not a pleasant thing, I can imagine. But I think that somewhere along the line, the definition of “satanist” got skewed. I don’t think any of those horrible things had anything to do with his being a satanist. More with her boyfriend being a terrible influence all on his own and with your friend, “n,” being hideously irresponsible and susceptible to his ways. But none of those events indicate anything to do with the practices and beliefs of Satanism.

    And just as a disclaimer, I am by no means a Satanist. Not even close.

    I’m sorry for her troubles all the same.

  • Holy shit.  I hope everything works out for her, I really do…

  • You can’t blame her fate on superstition.  That’s the same thing as being a satanist because you are putting faith in that religion’s power just like it’s practitioners.  And also, this doesn’t strike me as the best time to lose touch with your old friend.  As it is with anyone’s hard times, people being there for them when they need them is possibly the best thing anyone can do for her right now.  Denying her that at this point in her life is more spiteful than anything you’ve said her boyfriend has done to her (unless he knew the heroin was bad before he gave it to her). 

    Fucking government

  • Yeesh!  Usually dying and being revived is a bit of a wakeup call

  • eek..that’s pretty fucked up…how can you be a non practicing satanist anyways????? heroin is the pits..i’ve lost too many friends to it….

  • yeah, i’d tend to blame the heroin more than the satanism; fucked up shit happens to the girlfriends of non-practicing non-satanists, too.  hope she manages to turn things around.

  • eeks! very scary stuff…

  • ~ hope she gets it togethor sooner than later ~

  • That is Mildly scary

  • Well I think I would have already buried the boyfriend .. after being put on so many drugs …. hope she is better soon ….

    Mwwuuuahhh

  • scary indeed. someone should do a relationship intervention (funny how we find ourselves in situations that are so unhealthy we can’t even see it.)

  • lol. i luv you! and i will head the advice about the satanist thing. lol

  • Sorry, I am so warped that i found all this hilarious… good thing she didn’t tell the guy about anything you said…

    Or did you have weird rashes that only holy water seemed to get rid of… dunno… just asking.

  • …..those nutty Satanists!

    Seriously, sorry to hear about your friend. It’s amazing what we go through sometimes.

  • “he’s a non-practicing satanist” what the hell is that? they’re either practicing or not practicing. hmm…
    that’s too bad for her, but i hardly feel sorry for drugies, they get themselves there even when they’ve heard society blab on about how it’s bad.
    i had a apuantence fiend that overdosed 3 times, haven’t seen him in about 3 years – and when i was talking to him, he’d forget what we were talking about every 5 minutes. shesh. i just hope that your friend doesn’t end up like that.
    cheers

  • btw i agrea with most of what anarchrist said.
    your friend does need you at this point in time, even to know that your there if she quites the drugs.
