Did anyone of you ever really knew a freemason personally? I did... | |

Those who are above the 33 are the ones who have the secrets and other untold influence on Washington and other sources of power. Quoting: A Few Good Women Show empirical proof of: 1) These so-called degrees 2) Names of those who have them Otherwise, INSTA-FAIL |

They are a power cult, they all listen in to your houses, they all get off on their little power trips, and the fact that they keep it all a big secret, shows you their infinite contempt for the rest of us. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1145382 United States02/12/2012 09:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Many of the men in my family are Masons, and from what I've gathered, Freemasonry is basically a religious fraternity for old men. They show respect to several interpretations of the divine, but serve only the abstract idea of what they believe is God. Quoting: jadksn 10547409 Sure, there have been Masons who have done terrible things, but I don't believe Masonry as a whole is evil. They seek to guide the future of mankind from behind the scenes into a more positive future, and they genuinely believe that what they're doing is good. I don't think masonry starts to become sinister until you reach the higher levels, as in politics, absolute power corrupts. Yeah, this is what I think. I think they believe in this brotherhood kind of thing. They all stick together and protect each other. They have their secret sign to let each other know they are masons. Most of the men in the lower ranks are just trying to do good in the world. I had relatives who were Freemasons. Apparently the pagan symbolism of their rituals doesn't bother them because they think they are just metaphors. I've always suspected that the real reason behind the formation of Freemasonry is to keep the Pope and the RCC from getting too much power. People who claim the Roman Catholic Church is secretly involved in it are way off base I think. I read that freemasonry was inspired by the Knights Templar of the middle ages who were part of the Catholic church but who got shut down and tortured by the Pope's order. The DeMolays is the boy's branch of the masons and it's named after a man who was tortured by the Catholic church when they wanted to end the Knights Templar. So, I see that as a clue. Catholics aren't allowed to be masons, besides they have their own organizations, like Knights of Columbus. Doesn't it sort of make sense that if masons formed a brotherhood of men regardless of their religion( you just have to believe in a higher power) to support and help each other the real point behind doing that is to keep any one religion from getting too much power? Probably at the time it started the most powerful man in the world was the Pope. That's just my theory anyway. |

The pope created the Templars and can abolish them. That is who they answer to thru an elaborate chain-of-command thru Washington & London. Just ask George Bush. |
TruthSeeker1951  User ID: 77291978 United States01/15/2019 08:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My grandfather was a mason. After he died my dad gave me his ring. I've always wondered if the ring denotes the degree of the mason as I have no idea what level he had attained. Quoting: FlowerStorm2012 Anyway, he was an extremely straightforward man, not into non-sense of any kind. He was a navy man and an engineer. If he had even the slightest inkling that freemasonry was about anything satanic, magickal, astrological, etc. I'm sure he would not have continued his involvement. There was nothing ritualistic about his funeral, but there were many elderly masons with aprons attending the service. Personally, I think it would be much more interesting if that were the case, but I have a copy of the masonic bible and have not seen anything unusual in its pages. |
