The sects are often confused with secret initiation brotherhoods. However, they differ in their organization. The traditionally organized secret initiation fraternities are quite flexible. Their leadership is either collective or individual. Leader (boss, priest, etc.) however, it is chosen by the organization. If he had chosen himself in the election, he could be stripped of power and replaced by someone else. also, each member of the fraternity participates in the overall plan. It is not manipulated, there is no manipulative: there is no manipulation.
Meanwhile, two cases of gradual are known today, drastic transformation, what can occur within the initiation movements. The first example concerns a Masonic Lodge – Propaganda Two (P2) – which was recorded in court records in the 1980s and whose rulers sought more to create a network of mafia and political influence than to the spiritual development of the group. The second example concerns the Order of the Temple of the Sun., where criminal teaching gradually replaced chivalrous and initiatory ideas, formulated during the formation of the group.
