My Grandfather and his brother were 33rd degree Masons - he warned me ...

My Granfather moved into my Aunts house . and he died in her care . All his belongings went to my aunt and cousins when she passed away . My aunt and cousins are strict bible thumping Christians and didn't agree with Masonry . There was a Grandfather clock of his I wanted dating from the 1600s ( one like it is in the white house- it came around the horn of south America in a ship to get here in the 1800s my G G G Grandfather was one of the first doctors in SF who brought it over ) ... I was sad it went to the other side of the family I didn't they they would cherish it like I would have .

Strange you say "bible thumpers" in nugatory language. A lot of masons back in the day were devout until the church clamped down (again)

My Grandfather and his brother were very high up in the Masons ...
His brother was head of the Masons in his area ..( forget was he was called I think Grand master or something like that? ).
They put me in Jobs daughters as a teen in the mid 80s.
I didn't feel right about it seemed like a cult ( hated the rituals I was not allowed to talk of the things that went on in the group and so I quit even though my dear friend was a JD Queen ( she later died of a brain aneurism - I still know her children now ) .

When I was a teenager my Grandfather told me
that I will see many things in my lifetime signs and wonders . I saw a blue flashing light in the sky in 2011 and thought of his words ...he told me aliens were real . he told me I could use my mind to see into things . both sides of my family go back to America 1600's and on my fathers side they were always involved with the Masons . Grandfather told me that they were the true builders and that I was a daughter of the revolution . this interested me and i kept listening to him as I love learning of history .
He told me the end was near and attempted to hypnotize me to see events and put me under . I was young and innocent then and didn't know what he was doing .
At one point I woke up screaming and ran and told my father who prayed over me and got very upset at my Grandfather . . This really created a negative breech in the family that i felt guilty about . My parents were elders in a Christian church ( Jack Hayford was the pastor and a good friend of my Dads ) I knew I had to run away from him though and did on one camping trip . I didn't like that he wanted to put me under to see things . It creeped me out !

I remember this one thing he told me vividly .
Grandfather told me around the age of 16 that I would see the world as we know it come to an end in my lifetime but that he would not live to see it . this has always haunted me .

I dont go to church anymore but love God in my heart , too much BS out there got burned out in the church . I believe in what the Bible has to say ( I went to Bible college in the 80s ) ... but now I believe you can be a believer without going to church ( too many warped systems out there hard to trust anymore ) .

VERY FEW people make it to 33rd degree. Anybody who makes 33rd degree would NEVER reveal anything.

Thanks for sharing...I once read a book on Masons, the title escapes me at the moment. After reading it, I'd skim through it when I'd hear or think of something. One day I was traveling for work and check into a Motel, went across the street to a Bar/Restaurant and these Masons came in.

Did I have a good Q & A with them...most of my questions didn't get answered, just weird looks in return. But they did offer to pledge for me to join. Since I was not from the area, I declined the offer....

Just weird how things happen like that...Synchronicity I guess.
