What is a secret?

Discussion in 'Psychology' started by RainMaker3000, May 17, 2020.

  1. A secret is something you only know, no one else. If more than one person knows that information, it is no longer a secret. Some of you think you have a secret or are in a secret society when the fact is you're actually in the occult.

    You saying that if I know the exact date, time and second of your death. I then not tell anyone...not even you...its my secret.

    Therefore, if I share it with your friends and loved ones or even with you...we're in some sort of an occult ?

  4. Yes, because my murderer would only know that...
     
  5. Freedom was invented so evildoers in this world could freely steal and murder, most of you practice the occult when you use something that you know about that another person without their knowledge to take advantage of them.

    false assumption, prove it

    are you a believer?

    how do you know this ... provide the proof

    why do you think others have secrets or are in a secret society or occult ... what makes you think this way?
