Awesome post
As someone who has thought extensively about joining the O.T.O, and also having studied their beliefs along with knowledge of every secret society I can get my hands on..they are quite legit.
If you wanted to join a group that gets things done actively, and has rituals that work, albeit of a negative nature, the O.T.O is for you.
After having studied much of their works and practiced some of their rituals dating back to the time of Crowley, I'll tell you it's not for the faint of heart.
Here's a bit of an add on to make you think:
The O.T.O have at the core of certain rituals sexual activities, which in turn aid in the completion of certain things (like impregnating a woman with a "demon")
Now if these people who are part of this society are truly on top, then it's not surprising our media, and society, is filled with sexually explicit scenes with morality having slowly decayed over the years.
A good example is how we now teach sexual education to children because they are having sex at younger ages and don't know responsibility versus what they are being forced to believe is "the norm".

Always puzzles me why a secret society has a web site with contact information.

So the O.T.O. is the Illuminati?
Do they have anything to do with the Bavarian Illuminati?
Do the members currently in the O.T.O. have any idea they are in the Illuminati?
Do they control the media and the presidents and world leaders?
I am very interested in this as I have know some people who were members of the O.T.O.
(even a few ATS members)
In 1912, the system of O.T.O., despite its various influences, remained principally Masonic. In the Jubilee Edition of the Oriflamme, Reuss stated that O.T.O. “is not a masonic order, pure and simple, but every member of our Order, man or woman…must proceed through the craft degrees of Freemasonry, also those of high-grade Freemasonry, before they can be illuminated and initiated members of our Order.” However, the United Grand Lodge of England, to whom Crowley technically owed Masonic allegiance, objected to the performance of the Craft Degrees in England outside of its jurisdiction, and objected to the admission of women into Freemasonry. Therefore, Crowley included the following statement in his Manifesto of the M∴M∴M∴:
The O.T.O., although an Academia Masonica, is not a Masonic Body so far as the craft degrees are concerned in the sense in which that expression is usually understood in England; and therefore in no way conflicts with, or infringes the just privileges of, the United Grand Lodge of England.

Your friends will have just been regular members of the OTO, probably under grade 5, and most probably level 3.
Only elite members discuss elite things, at dinner parties together, in lodge they discuss OTO things.

I am not a believer in a modern day Illuminati. After studying the Bavarian Illuminati and understanding their goals, today's assertions of world domination and control are exactly the opposite of those goals. I don't have enough knowledge of the O.T.O. to make an informed comment other than what I have read and posted above. I look forward to some members of that order to comment here to find reality instead of fear based information. (usually the best way to learn)

I would venture a guess that this has more to do with the V° (IIRC) requirement that one must become proficient at a sport of some kind. A lot of Thelemites choose to study martial arts.

Sorry if this is a difficult question to answer, but, how would a non member know more than the actual members of this order? I assume quite a few OTO members have the google powers as well.
