Share Your Thoughts on the Freemasons

Free Masons

They can't be that secretive if they have signs all over the place. Their ceremonies are SYMBOLIC and are important to them only. I think more attention should be placed on the Skull and Bones fraternity, now that's something to scrutinize and be weary of.I used to be a mason, and even though I no longer belong (because of beliefs), that dosen't mean they deserve to collectively be bashed.

58 Yars in masonry

I have been in Masonry. My father his younger brother who 18 years older than me. My sun inlaws father and uncle were Masons.Also my Grandson is a master Mason.

I also became a Knights Templer. Scittish Right 32Degree and Murat Shrine of Indianapolis, IN.

I am a Past Master of a Masonic Lodge in Indianapolis,IN.

I have not found any thing that sayes that I am going aginst my God the Creater of the Universe.

I have not found any thing that will goes against GOD.Father of Jeasus Christ. Yes you must make the first step. ask a Mason.

Free Mason!!

That is the greatest lie!! Joining the Free Masons is not actually a freedom nor is it in anyway related to being free! Yes I do understand that is not what they mean by Free Mason what I am saying is that you join this organization you turn from God and are united with SATAN!! Far from freedom but into the bondage of HELL!! Trust me I have seen Free Masonry at it's deepest and darkest Satan rules in the Blue Lodge and Shriners!!!

STAY AWAY !! DANGER !! YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!

You do not get nothing from nothing!!

Some are born great;

Some achievee greatness;

And some have greatness cast upon them!!

Twelvth Night

Let me say it in another way.

If you really want to screw your life up, join the Masons, and then stop going to meetings.

If you believe in things that you don't understand;

Then you will suffer!

Superstition's in the way

Don't fall for the "conspiracy theorists"

I have been a 32nd degree Mason since 1976. In all of my years as a Mason, in numerous Masonic organizations, I have never once heard a single thing that would be incompatible with Christianity, nor anything un-American. Here's the truth:

1. Masons have secrets. Yes, indeed we do. Nothing that would bother you in the least if you knew them, though. If you wish to know them, ask a Mason for a petition.

2. Masonry is the enemy of the Church. Baloney. You can't even become a Mason unless you profess your trust in God, with your hand on the Bible. This particular rumor is MOST offensive to Masons.

3. Masons favor each other over non-Masons. Probably true. You already know an awful lot about a man's character when you discover that he's a brother Mason. Makes it MUCH easier to trust what the man says. Simple as that.

4. Masonry is elitist. Well, in a way. You must ASK to become a Mason; nobody will EVER ask YOU. Once you ask, a committee will investigate your character, reputation, etc, and will probably ask around your friends and neighbors. If you are shown to be a man of honor and good character, the committee will pass the information on to the Lodge, where a candidate will be thoroughly discussed. Even ONE dissenting vote will prevent you from ever taking the first step in Freemasonry. Then it is HARD WORK to pass through the ranks to become a full-fledged Mason, a Master Mason. So you must continuously show yourself to be of good character, good morals, and highly determined to ever reach the level of Master Mason. One thing though...there is NEVER a "means test" of any kind whatsoever. Good men are accepted equally whether they are a ditch-digger or a corporate executive- and there are plenty of both who are Masons.

Why I am a Mason

I am a 4th generation Prince Hall (PH) Mason living in NYC. I am a Black Professional Christian business owner and was raised by both maternal and Masonic family members that my duty to public service and helping those of God's Children who can't help themselves will be a life long journey.

As a PH Mason I've traveled internationally and as recently as January 2010 received a warm welcome from my Masonic Brothers in Oslo, Norway whilst attending President Obama's receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Finally, as a PH Mason I have received an abundance of wages; Blessings from God, for continued service to my community, city, state, country and throughout the world.

Proud Freemason

I am proud to be a Freemason, i am christian and beleive in Jesus Christ my Lord and savior, i kneelo nor worship any other god before me, I talk to Jesus every morning and night, and yes again I am a Freemason for 30 yrs, and the Craft has never in anyway made me renounce Jesus Christ.I respect all religions but practice on christian faith. When the time comes when I face my maker and the book of life is opened and all that is seen is Freemason i will bet my chips of life that i have nothing to worry about in my entrance to heaven, Religions have a lot to worry about in our worldly matters but Freemasonry is not one of them.And the conspiracy advocates shgould continue to read their novels and rag newspapers. If the Tenets of Freemasonry, Brotherly Love, Charity, and respect were followed in this world we could all sleep with our doors and windows opened, and you would,t have to walk down a dark street looking behind and whisling. Amen and so mote it be

Masons

One needs to look into the deepest doctrines, rites and teachings of freemasonry. To the average person, the masons appear to be wonderful men, community leaders and charity minded. However, most Masons are unaware of the true teachings, which are blatantly anti-christian. Again, most of the Masons and society in general are ignorant to this. One example is the beginning of the initiation rite for freemasonry, when the new member must state that he desires to come in from the darkness to the light of the masons... and be under the curse of torture, mutilations, etc. if you betray any vows. If you are a Christian, you have professed to live in the light of Christ our Lord and savior. Consequently, the first rite for masons makes you renounce the Light of Christ... if you do that, then by definition christian beliefs, you renounce Christ to live the darkness of evil.

There is much to be learned here... look deeper at who owns what and what those institutions profess.
