Okay, really guys... this has been discussed so much! Will it ever die?!
Anyway... No, rituals are not in the LOC, it is an urban legend!
And, on the contrary to what many say, quite often I have found that some of those GLO secrets that leak out are true... Many times I think members say they aren't true so that people won't believe them... It's sad they get out, but I guess sh*t happens, huh? When tens/hundreds of thousands of people know a secret, someone's bound to blab eventually.
Anyway, I like to think it's not the secrets that are important, it's the values. And if you live them... that's all that matters.
