Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 19099851 United States 09/09/2012 08:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A mason is made first in his heart before he is made in the lodge. What makes me a mason was first my desire to promote the masonic ideals of truth, charity, and brotherly love (in the blue lodge) and freedom of religion and self-governance (in the Scottish Rite). Then I was made in the lodge by taking the oaths on the volume of sacred law - the Bible. |

There are exceptions, but few and far between - for example, if you were convicted of possessing weed 30 years ago and have an other wise excellent record as a citizen then they probably wouldn't consider it. |

We don't allow women because its a fraternity, not a sorority. But that doesn't mean women can't do things under the masonic umbrella of institutions - there are organizations under freemasonry for women and men like the OES |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23099104 United States 09/09/2012 08:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Freemasonry was created by the Illuminati after the disbanding of Orders like the Knights Templar, which were outlawed & persecuted, mostly by the Catholic Church, as a type of sub-order or sub-vehicle. It was created to do the work of the Illuminati & to put out there the knowledge of it's Logos-based religion Illuminism (Illumination) & the truth about mankinds true nature rather than the lies generated by the church, without compromising the Illuminati's veil of secrecy (it was a dangerous thing to stray from the church's account of reality). The conspiracy stories around Freemasonry used to confuse the hell out of me, why a noble cause such as the American Revolution & the formation of the American nation seemed to have Masonic roots, & yet how Freemasonry had such a bad name. The reason for this is that Freemasonry was infiltrated by the very septic members of the human race it wished to abolish. That is why you might hear stories about members & lodges of Freemasonry doing great, charitable things in a community, yet hear these strange stories of them being evil. Freemasonry remains the Illuminati's greatest blunder & regret, & has been very reluctant to engage in such an exercise again, although such organizations such as the Rosicrucians were formed for similar reasons. How do I know all this? The Illuminati think the time is ripe to try again!! When you know a little bit of the truth about the Illuminati, you can spot a BS story here a mile away. Go on, hoist your Bullshit flags! A great yarn about lizards, rapture & 9/11 will beat the truth anyday! |

Freemasonry came from the medieval stone mason guilds ~1300AD of England where in order to protect their profession they kept strict codes of secrecy. Under the veil of this secrecy their topics of interest begin to grow beyond just the secrets of architecture into politics and religion. These guilds began letting other people in to talk about these topics, which were under secrecy because masons usually supported representative government and freedom of speech/religion, which was a threat against monarchies. In 1717 the two biggest branches of freemasonry at that time merged and became what we know of today as freemasonry through the United Grand Lodge of England. All legitimate and regular lodges can trace their origins to the UGLE. Masons today are devoted to those same founding principles as well as charity and making their communities better. |

Are you saying Christians dont have free will? God gave them free will, read the Bible. You can't be "tricked" into renouncing Christ, you have to actually do it on purpose. No one renounces Christ to join Freemasonry nor are they required/asked to do so. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 19099851 United States 09/09/2012 09:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The first question anyone should have asked was this: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21656968 What Degree Mason is it you can claim to be??? That would allow for insite to their answers and avilablity to hidden knowledges. Actually this is a common example of what people think they know about freemasonry being 100% wrong. Someones degree means nothing as long as they have the 3rd degree. 1st and 2nd degree masons, who are not yet full members, know less than 3rd degree masons - but AFTER THAT THE DEGREE DOES NOT INDICATE ANY ADDITIONAL KNOWLEDGE. You just think it does because you know nothing about the fraternity. For example, I am a 32nd degree Scottish Rite mason. I know the exact same as a 3rd degree mason or a Knight Templar in the York Rite or a 33rd degree mason in the Scottish Rite. |

Well I have heard that it's history is a 'need to know' system, maybe you are not as far into the information loop as you might like to think? Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. Your account sounds right, but it is very stock standard. You give no input into the concepts I have mentioned, as to why the American founding fathers were obviously Freemason, yet Freemasonry has undoubtedly a bad name. The Illuminati have a saying about history, that it is written by the victors, victors like the Bush's & The Royal Family. The French revolution was also Illuminati inspired at the same time as the American Revolution, Thomas Jefferson was an Illuminatus. How does it feel Mr. Freemasonry? I might know about your order than you do? I trust my sources implicitly. |

ALL war criminals since 1775 have been Freemasons. Actually history supports your a liar. Hitler and the entire 3rd Reich actually targeted freemasons. Let me guess, your a holocaust denier too? |
