Author Description

Every secret has a cost. Every oath demands a master. And every hidden symbol whispers a story far darker than the surface suggests. The Dark Pledge: No Secrets with Christ is not just another warning about fraternities, sororities, or secret societies-it's a spotlight cutting through centuries of shadows. Behind the polished smiles, the Greek letters, and the midnight rituals lies a spiritual game of allegiance, one that demands silence, loyalty, and devotion-but never to Christ. J.C. Thornton pulls back the curtain on the world of hidden handshakes and whispered vows, exposing the truth that secrecy is not just tradition-it's bondage. From Greek societies and college rituals to Masonic halls and global networks, these organizations trade in promises of prestige, unity, and lifelong connection. But beneath the robes and oaths, their foundation is built on deception, pride, and spiritual compromise. Scripture makes it plain: "What fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14). Yet generation after generation, men and women step into these circles, believing they are joining something greater-when in reality, they are stepping into the shadows. Thornton shows how symbols that seem harmless carry meanings that trace back to idolatry and occult practices, designed to bind the heart with loyalty to the wrong kingdom. But this book is not simply exposure-it is confrontation. Thornton does not stop at unmasking the rituals; he calls the reader to account. Are you serving Christ or serving secrecy? Are you chasing belonging while pledging your soul to a system that thrives in silence? He challenges you to face the uncomfortable truth that you cannot carry both a Bible and a secret oath into the same light. With sharp insight and uncompromising conviction, The Dark Pledge travels from the college campus to the halls of government, from Hollywood stages to church pews-showing how the same spirit of secrecy spreads it
