Anybody here from a secret society? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 4564249 United States 09/24/2016 06:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To be one, ask one. However... Freemasonry is a "society of secrets" moreso than a "secret society". You'll find more disinformation and outright paranoid delusions than truths about us here on GLP though. The average GLPer seems to be horrified of what they think we Masons do. |

Besides the big questions that everyone and their dog wants to know, what do you really want to know? I doubt I can offer much and I won't identify my affiliation but if there is something that isn't a meaning of life type question, I will do my best to answer if I can provide an answer of any value. |

I was never a formal (read: paid) O.T.O. member (Ordo Templi Orientis), but I've been to some events and have participated in the Gnostic Mass a number of times. It wasn't anything that I cared to continue attending. There was nothing of substance... Quoting: AkashicRecord® Do you think maybe a lot of these societies have lost touch with the meaning of their rituals? No. They know exactly what and whom they're worshipping. They don't find you. They know who you are. They know who everybody is or just people who "count" ? Connection, by family or business, consideration, that you are going to follow their guidance, and criteria, that includes who you know and how you make your living ($) and all important your intelligence.

My affiliation has helped me considerably in many professional ways over the years but I still wouldn't mind a few more zero's padding my account balances... As for whether you are worthy to join, the question itself disqualifies you from most to be honest. It isn't a society of betas or halfwits. People that belong to these groups believe themselves to be the best of the best. At least most of them tell themselves that. Most of the time it is more like a group of bitchy little girls than a group of powerful men. Just as it is in the real world, the 90/10 rule applies. 90% are the chaff. 10% the wheat. |

Mr. Blenton
User ID: 36063764 Croatia 09/24/2016 07:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You must be referring to the Neocatechumenate, as it is assumed that their membership is the largest in Italy. Since it is assumed that in Italy there are 10,000 communities and each has 20 to 50 members. In February 1972, a 400-page book was printed in Spain containing the advice given to the catechists of the Neo-Catechumenal Movement by Kiko Arguello and Carmen Hernandez, in charge of this Movement. This is an exceptional document revealing the reality of this association. This book is reserved to the catechists of the Movement and nobody else can acquire it. It became known, thanks to an indiscretion. The secret character of the advice given is often repeated in the book: "Do not tell this to anybody else ... If people knew this, they would go away quickly ..." This is very surprising for a Movement which pretends to be Catholic. It seems, on the opposite, to be a kind of freemasonry. |
