“I have no knowledge of that. SO if that oath is fake, show me the real one.”

Now, I see you’ve been given the smack-down by the RM...so you’re now aware that the “oath” you are “familiar” with is a fraud...but that still doesn’t eliminate the fact that you’ve tossed this piece of garbage in the Knights’ yard.

I am a Fourth Degree Knight.

Each of our degree ceremonies is “secret” insofar as we keep the contents of the ceremonies secret from the general public. Priests are, however, always welcome at our ceremonies. We do not keep these things secret to hide things so much as to preserve them.

Each of our tenets - charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism - is tied to each of our degrees. The degree ceremonies are powerful experiences for those who go through them. I, for one, experienced intense ranges of emotions and gained much from the experiences.

Those experiences would have been greatly diminished had I known up front what to expect. The secrecy is key to allowing all Knights to get the full benefit from the experience.

I assume, Levinite, that you have finished high school. Would a test for which you already had the answers been a valid gauge of your knowledge?

Would you wish to see a movie knowing how it ended?
