Have the Freemasons have infiltrated everything?

The same reason why you got baptized or take communion. What, is Christ so powerless that he is incapable of recognizing you unless you eat him (if you are Catholic) or drink some juice in a big show of ritual (if you are Protestant)? Is he so helpless he needs you to be dunked in water to see that your serious about your faith?

While freemasonry's rituals are not part of a religion, they still as rituals perform the same basic function as all secular and rituals from religion do - to impress the importance of something on the candidate. For freemasonry, the lesson is the importance of masonic values.

Maybe you are being led around like a scared dog with a blindfold on but just don't realize it.

Remember, the purpose of initiation is to take the blindfold off.

That is the best response I have ever heard to an anti Masnic comment. Well said Masonic Light,, Bravo

Ironic this is coming from someone who seems to be coming from a very narrow point of view without any stated reasons or proof for his claims...

I bet you are aware of who won the last NASCAR race.

There is nothing like people trying to make witty, but ultimately pointless remarks on a message board.

LowLevel, stop pretending you did not know it was Ricky Bobby.

to take the blind folds off??? Isn't that quite an arguement against freemasons knowing the rest of humanity is enslaved with deceptions and lies yet if you enter the freemasons you take of your blind folds and enter the realm of the truths and conpiracies beyond the mindstate of average people? You take your blind folds of to see what??? Perhaps someone hear at ATS should infiltrate the freemasons lol and then come out and expose everything (if they are bad or not) just to take there secrecy away that the entire organisation will crumble lol.

The secrecy was taken away about 23 or so years after Freemasonry started back in the 1700's. it's been around since then, and continues despite people making up whatever they feel like.
The "secrets" have been made public for years.
The handshakes, the rituals, and the membership words have been known and published. masons just swear not to reveal them.

I challenge you to do just that.
I did, amongs ather reasons. Now they have me under their control.

Someone needs to take the tinfoil hat off and maybe leave their parents basement.

"Have the Freemasons have infiltrated everything?"

Well they certainly have infiltrated ATS...

They are so annoying. My whole ignore list is full of masons.

It must be a positively fascinating world to live in where you ignore points of view that don't agree with you.

Perhaps you forgot that whole "deny ignorance" thing?

You only ignore people who don't agree with you on ATS?
Seems fairly counterproductive.

Seems you're ignoring some good folks.

Only ten - all freemasons.

Can I be number eleven? It would be an honor to join the rest of the Bretheren....

Apparently I am not worthy enough to be on the list, as you are responding to me. Please put me on the list. As with Augustus, I would be honored to join the ranks of other people who speak a truth you cannot handle.

The ignore list is full right now.

Don't worry kid, you'll get your chance. You just gotta want it bad enough...
