The Masons & Freemasonry

[dramama]

This is from the Skull and Bones not Freemasonary. I heard members can't be in both. Not sure how factual that is though.
Skull and Bones and Freemasonry are tied together...also the highest ranking freemasons are shriners.

Been doing a little research on them, did you know a lot of Churches have labeled them as a cult. Went to a Freemason site to ask about this (NO WAY WOULD I JOIN) they got into a big roar about me just asking. On my research some say is a demonic cult. Also in my research found out they hide this from members who join, when you get to be a 33 degree mason (takes years) is went you have to "SWEAR" to my understanding that is against being Christian and allegiance to the United States. I have not found out what the swear is yet what the words are.:scratch

Members say it is a organization based on the love of all people:ohno just a fellow-ship that has be been around for years.

Anyone have any input?

Oh man don't get me started on this. I bet I'm the only person on this board who thinks Freemasonry is not bad or demonic. I have done plenty of research on this and it is not demonic. You have to believe in a supreme being to have membership and yes they do do some weird stuff but that's the tradition.

And if Freemasonry is demonic then apparently America was founded by satan worshipers.

Wait...I can hear them now. :) Here comes everyone saying I'm wrong and misled and I need to do research and they will say "THEY ARE NOT CONSPIRACY WEBSITES". So sit back and have fun.

Masons do not allow the name Jesus be used in their prayers in their lodges. They are afraid of offending any non-Christians who may be present. Speaks volunes and tells us all we really need to know.

The red fez worn by the Shriners comes from the times when muslims would slaughter Christians and dip their white fez they wore in the blood of the Christians.

Freemasonry is evil, end of story. The end goal is Satan worship. Many of those that are in oit don't realize that until they have too much time and money "invested" in it.

Check out this video.

This lays out how Washington DC was laied out by masons.

This is the 2nd one, the first is entitled, 'Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings.

Both are good but I like the 2nd one better.

Masons & Freemasons are satanic and woven into the fabric of American history.

I drive by a masonic billboard everyday on my way home from work. It says "Share the Secret" and has pictures of a young, midddle-aged, and old man. I have read about the freemason before and have come to my own conclusion that they are a cult. This just seemed ironic because it's a fairly new billboard and "The Secret" stuff on Oprah is pretty popular now too. I wonder if they could be related some how....

Amen. If you know any, warn them. Most of them are so terrified of what men will think of them...... well that's the way it is everywhere.

An organization that considers the koran "sacred law". You don't consider that satanic?

What about this secret "word"? We as christians (hopefully) know WHO the word is.

It's not secret, hidden or lost. He's the stone the builders rejected. Who are the builders? What builders work with stone?

They swear this is against that is taught, to me this slows lack of ability to want to follow God's laws or even wants to...:doh

A. THREE PASSAGES MAKE VERY CLEAR THE TEACHING OF LAW CONCERNING
THE SWEARING OF OATHS OR VOWS...

1. "And you shall not swear by My name falsely, nor shall you
profane the name of your God; I am the LORD." - Lev 19:12

2. "If a man vows a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind
himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he
shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth."
- Num 30:2

3. "When you make a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not delay
to pay it; for the LORD your God will surely require it of you,
and it would be sin to you." - Deu 23:21

you know, the Freemasons have had that reputation for many many years. I can remember my own Mother telling me of this. My Grand Father was a Mason. He never told me anything about it. He just never spoke of it. But that reputation has been around many years now.

Are they a cult? Well I have heard about some of their rituals...sounds pretty suspicious to me. Jesus is our foundation, why is He not allowed to be mentioned?
