In addition, an apocalyptic mentality is cultivated in the church, and members are urged to store up food to prepare for times of famine.

The Mormon Church believes in the gifts of the Spirit, but as one who uses the gift of discernment of spirits on a regular basis, I find their apparent methods to be unorthodox, to say the least, because it involves shaking the hand of another person (or possibly an angel’s hand or a demon’s hand) to see what happens. Joseph Smith’s advice, preserved in section 129 of the Mormon text, The Doctrine and Covenants, is to test supposed messengers from heaven by this means.2

The belief system is so complex and confusing, even to Mormons, that many members simply give preference to the rites and ideas that they find easier to understand. Nevertheless, anyone who has Mormonism in his or her family history, and certainly anyone who has been a member of the Mormon Church, should do a thorough “spiritual housecleaning,” breaking the demonic curses that accompany these many ill-conceived beliefs and rituals.

CAMARADERIE CULTS

Now we will turn our attention to three organizations that are representative of what I call “camaraderie cults”: the Knights of Columbus, the Elks, and the Woodmen of the World. Other such groups exist, but we can learn the basics about them by taking a look at these three.

Founded in the United States over 130 years ago and now international in membership, the Knights of Columbus is a fraternal organization with ties to the Catholic Church. Group members perform charitable acts that range from disaster relief to funding scholarships. The organization was started in Connecticut by a very devout Irish-American priest as a kind of mutual benefit society to help out fellow immigrant Catholics, most of whom were poor. The founder sought the benefits of a fraternal organization for the Catholic men in his parish, but the Catholic Church was (and still is) rightfully opposed to Freemasonry and other fraternal orders. So they founded their own organization.

The problem is that, in an effort to strengthen their appeal to potential members, they ended up adopting some of the same secret practices as the Freemasons. I am not saying that the Knights of Columbus is an evil organization or that they have perpetrated as many curses as the Freemasons. Far from it. They do a lot of philanthropic good. However, I am wary of organizations that bury their rituals and oaths in secrecy because, by its very nature, this kind of clandestine activity allows an opportunity for evil to enter in.

Another organization, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks (BPOE), commonly known simply as the Elks Lodge or the Elks, started out in the late nineteenth century as a social club. At first they called themselves the Jolly Corks, because they were a private drinking establishment. They adopted a fraternal service orientation when needs arose among the families of their members. For a long time, membership was restricted to men only; today women too may be members. Membership is restricted to United States citizens over the age of 21 who believe in God.
