Next I looked for identifying characteristics of men and women who belong to secret organizations. They are: “exceedingly expert in many words. They flatter. They covenant “that no one should know [their] wickedness.” They lay plans to destroy the government and “the souls of men.” “They have their secret signs.” They corrupt the laws of the land. They murder, rob, seek for power, plunder, steal, commit whoredoms. They fill the judgment seats with compatriots, condemn the righteous, and let the guilty go unpunished. They usurp power, do no justice, and get gain and glory of the world. They make it easier to commit sexual sin. They “hearken unto the words of the evil one. They “set their hearts upon the vain things of the world.” All the above references are in Helaman, chapters two and twelve. Nephi quoting Isaiah summarized: They call “evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter” (2 Nephi 15:20).Share
