Most of the masons are - stupid. Just like communists...most of them were just followers, looking for the benefit of being in the "Party".
Don't even ask regular masons (even the "level 32", or whatever) what the true nature of masonic organization is - they only think they know.

Really, have you not seen the movie 300?
Originally posted by spirit7
If not then I highly recommend it. There are those references or similarities to Freemasonry in there that have the similarities.

My point is that you really have no idea that you are in fact worshipping something other then Jesus but do not realize it.

I am not jealous of the Freemasons nor am I intimidated into thinking that I have to join.

Hmm... movie theaters don't have windows either! Maybe the two are related? You know, masonic media control conspiracy? That guy that played Balki on "Perfect Strangers" is a mason, and clearly his connections have made him a media mogul!

Why don't the temples and meeting halls have windows? This sends up a huge flag to me. What's going on in there?

It's funny how he and I can make them seem like just a bunch of big headed fools.
Or, you can grab a pair and stand and say "No thanks, God is my creator and he already gave me the gift of freewill but I still choose to obey him rather then the one that you all worship, whomever that may be?" "That's why I thank God for Jesus for he is the king and taught man how to walk"
And Intrepid, please don't move this over to the faith forum. This has everything to do with "the craft".

As long as you truly believe in Jesus then you need not fear anyone or anything is what I've learned through my own personal relationship with the almighty.

Anyway, most masons 32nd degree and lower really don't have a clue.

The thing that invites one to become a mason is fear itself sort of like "Hey, you're afraid that if you're not in, then you're out? Then come on in and kneel before our all worshipful master and mock your religion and abandon your faith and your personal relationship with the Almighty".

My personal opinion is that you cannot be Christian and a "Free"mason at the same time because freemasonry from what I've witnessed only leads you away from a relationship with Christ.
