O.T.O. != Satanism. From their FAQ (http://oto-usa.org/faq.html): "O.T.O. makes no claims or representations to be either Satanic or anti-Christian. We find that these characterizations serve no real purpose in describing what we are about, or our vision for humanity. Rather than being anti-Christian, we are in fact pro-Thelema: we support the Thelemic ideals of freedom of religious and personal self-expression; emancipation from superstition and social oppression; and the development of a world view which supports and encourages the age-old vision of the Universal Brotherhood of mankind."
What local body did you visit, out of curiousity?
i know theyre not satanists, but they wallow in being seen as such. thats why they always remind people that theyre not satanists.
"im in oto." "oh whats that?" "its NOT satanism, if thats what your thinking!! !"

I'm not against the idealogy of Satanism, I really don't care how/if/what people worship as long as it's not hurting me. But I knew some people who claimed to be Satanists. The only thing those dudes sacrificed were pizza and a six pack! (Not to mention their dignity.) Posers... 
Maybe what's being discussed here is something different to what I've seen though.
