Some fraternities are blatant in their occult roots.
Occult
From Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Occult (disambiguation). The word occult comes from the Latin word occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to "knowledge of the hidden".[1] In the medical sense it is used to refer to a structure or process that is hidden, e.g. an "occult bleed"[2] may be one detected indirectly by the presence of otherwise unexplained anemia. The word has many uses in the English language, popularly meaning "knowledge of the paranormal", as opposed to "knowledge of the measurable",[3][4] usually referred to as science. The term is sometimes popularly taken to mean "knowledge meant only for certain people" or "knowledge that must be kept hidden", but for most practicing occultists it is simply the study of a deeper spiritual reality that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences.[5] The terms esoteric and arcane can have a very similar meaning, and the three terms are often interchangeable.[6][7] The term occult is also used as a label given to a number of magical organizations or orders, the teachings and practices taught by them, and to a large body of current and historical literature and spiritual philosophy related to this subject.

Since it seems you don't understand the word.

Maybe next you can come to my job and tell me how to fly since I'm probably just a low level operator.

Well you seem to think you know more about my fraternal orders than I do even when what you say is wrong.

Yes I'm wrong about the groups I'm a member of but you, a non-member, know more than my first hand experience with your second hand propaganda. I have yet to see anything from an "anti" that contradicts my experiences and personal research. You act as if us members are just blind morons who joined without doing any research. I find most "anti's" to be too arrogant to be logical our rational. You call us "low level" or "pawns" if we don't agree with you, but hold no true understanding.

You need to be brainwashed into accepting some sort of family relationship with the people you will lie and cheat for in the future. Buisness is all about taking as much as you can from others and keeping as much as you can for yoruself. When the time comes to break some rules these fraternal ties will be tugged and these good little idiots will fall in line. This is why America is in its current state.

You "Anti's" are ridiculous and unoriginal.
My experience is just that experience not propaganda. I have actually gone through the ceremonies, you haven't. I have covered the degrees and lectures, you haven't. You have no first hand experience with Masonry or Kappa Sigma since you are not a member. Anti's try to use fear and other deceitful tactics to defame good men - there is an overabundance of evidence of that in this forum.
I'll stand over here by Truth and you can continue to spread your malicious lies. I won't stop preaching the truth and countering your misinformation with fact.

Not all of them. And from what I've seen the credibility and reliability of your sources is wanting.
Plus reading it is one thing versus giving it, and knowing it. Book knowledge only takes you so far. Like I said I have first hand experience in these matters.
