I'm an EX 32deg Scottish Rite Past Master Freemason, ask me a question.

My father was a 32nd Deg Scottish Rite Master Mason.
This is how I became involved in the Free Masons.

I was Initiated (1st Deg), Passed (2nd Deg)
and Raised (3rd Deg) in the Masonic Blue Lodge
roughly all within 6 months time between
1984-85. The catechisms for each degree
were very simple for me and my coach was
superb in his knowledge of the degree work.

Within a year of my 3rd Deg, I then petitioned
and recieved the 32nd Degree of the Scottish Rite
body in Wilmington, NC USA.

Upon recieving my 32nd Deg I recieved a book
from the Scottish Rite body entitled: Morals
and Dogma written by Albert Pike. I did not read
this book right away and placed it up upon a shelf
where it collected dust for many years.

While it was collecting dust on a shelf I made
myself usefull in the Blue Lodge by first
attending every meeting and advancing through
the chairs. My first elected post was Junior Deacon
where I sat for a year, then skipped Senior Deacon
and was elected straight to Junior Warden in the South
where I observed the labor of the lodge. Then one year
later elected to Senior Warden and thusly culminating
the following year in the Worshipful Masters' chair
in the east. I was one of the youngest Master Masons
to hold this position in the history of our lodge.
After serving as Master, I then was elected as
Secretary of the lodge where I communicated weekly
with the Grand Lodge and became very proficient
in our by-laws and protocols of Free Masonry.

This is where I started to question the integrity
of the Free masons. Some of the actions being
performed in the lodge were not following the
protocols of the order. Things didn't seem just right.
I felt a heavy burden on my conscience. The more
I researched, the more I found myself involved
with something I felt uncomforatble with.

I eventually left my lodge in the early 2000 range
and started my own research into it's practices
and rituals. Then I pulled that book by Albert
Pike off the shelf and started reading it.

My mouth flung open with disgust as I read the pages.
It was then that I realized that this is NOT what
I thought Free Masonry was. Nor was it what I was
led to believe. So I started studying other books
and documentaries online concerning Free Masonry.

And thus, since then I have realized that Free Masonry
is built solely on Occult Practices of the Luciferian
Doctrine just as Albert Pike had stated. Lucifer
if the light bearer and all Free Masonry rituals are
based around this concept.

I have since renounced Free Masonry and rescinded
my obligations that I took upon an occult alter.

And since then my further research has taught me that
basically ALL organized religions are based upon the
very same Occult practices that Free Masonry is based
upon. It does not matter if you are Christian, Muslim,
Jewish, Catholic or any other. It ALL stems from Ancient
Paganism and the worship of Lucifer.

I have relayed my research to my father, whom
disbelieves me and refuses to demit from his
lodge or the Scottish Rite. So I have left
his good graces and that of the lodge and
the Scottish Rite.

Now I am in a state of flux where I can't find
the true creator due to the paganistic organized
religions ALL adhere to the same deity whether
secretly or openly admitted.

So therefore I implore you to put away your Bible,
your Qur'an and your Jewish Holy Writtings as
heresy.

I have come to the conclusion that I alone must
seek God on my own terms without the aid of
those who purposely lead me back into the
occult by one shape or another.

I suggest this to you, seek on your own and find
God in your heart. His distractions are found
everywhere.

I will answer your questions at this time.
I have a few hours to spare.
