This is VERY easily settled!

All you have to know is that Joseph Smith, founder of the LDS (Mormon) Church, was a 33rd-degree Freemason. The 33rd degree is HONORARY and bestowed upon 32nd degrees who have accomplished great things to usher in the new world order. In fact, when Smith was murdered he was shot 33 times, so the Masonic signature was on the killing. (Masons who betray the "brotherhood" in any way, no matter how high their rank, are taken out.)

Now, look at the Mormon rituals and then compare with them Freemason's rituals and rites, and IT IS STARING YOU IN THE FACE, CLEAR AS DAY! Couple that with the fact that MANY Mormons are also FREEMASONS, and the case is CLOSED.
