Pike and Crowley, their association with it and interpretations, are what turned me off in the final analysis.

Given his previous posts, I think he actually still believes his original idea that he got from reading anti-mason websites, and thinks that posing as a prospective candidate he can witness to the damned-to-hell masons who take the bait. As you can see, he uses exclusively charismatic christian websites that are anti-mason and have been thoroughly debunked to allow himself to come to the conclusion that he actually doesn't want to join at all.

Hello OP,
Interesting discussion going on .. but I can't for the life of me understand why someone who has 'the light of Christ' in their life would want to join an organisation whose aim is to 'search for the light' !

the masses are lazy, greedy, and delusional.
that is why everyone blames the illuminati or freemasons instead of looking in the mirror and taking responsibility.
do it.

What with Chaplains-of-the-Lodge and Masonic Prayers & Songs it's no surprise so many Masons think it is a religion and rarely, if ever, attend Church.

I've met a few Masons they were normal and nice people, I've read up on the masons, they supposedly stole the ceremonies from as far back as king Solomon's Temple, the only remaining part of that temple being the Wailing Wall or Western Wall in Israel, supposedly the masons were temple workers and stole the secret ceremonies and snuck the information out and formed the masonic society to guard the secret, but it's been thousands of years and the modern day masonic ceremonies have been watered down and their purpose totally misunderstood, basically masons dress up and perform what they believe is the original temple ceremony, but their pretty much doing the same thing catholics preists do, performing a showy ceremony, there is no holy spirit present like their was in the holy of holies when Moses was performing the ceremonies, it's modern day versions are basically a waste of time and serve no special purpose or significance. Their walking the walk and talking the talk but the soul of the purpose of the ceremony is missing. From Moses' perspective what they are doing is probably blasphemous, but it matters not.

For those that actually want to know a sign of the end of the world I recommend you read and attempt to remember the following words. Stars in heaven, blood red moon? nope, those things may be but they are not specific, here is a specific that will have no need to be interpreted for it will be plain and clear as day when it happens.

When Solomon's Temple is rebuilt, and it will be rebuilt, I would at that point be ready for the end of the world, for within a few years the end of the world will come, the dead sea will become a living sea, water will pour from the re-built Solomon's temple into the dead sea to make it living, this may not seem like a miracle from outsiders, but that sea has been dead for thousands of years and will be a major miracle for locals, it is unknown whether the Muslims will begin war at the first breaking of dirt to re-build Solomon's Temple, but pretty much they will all out attack Isreal, this happens on a regular basis but without a build temple it will be a false alarm, also when the temple is rebuilt supposedly every single Muslum nation will fight against Israel and impossibly it will not fall. I could spend time relating more details but the athiestic presence here would simply mock and I'm sure will mock anyway, but when the temple is built be prepared for the worst, world-wide this will make an impact.

But yeah modern day Masons they are harmless, might as well be the Rotary club or the Elk Lodge, they are just a group of guys that have secret handshakes and wear funny ceremonial clothes and perform ceremonies that they understand not and it's all in good fun, because they don't really join for the secret, they join because they are bored and pretty much just want to hang out with other guys and have nothing better to do, there is no secret to masons, they don't do anything that the boyscouts don't do just on a more mature level.
