Footage from the Lodge: Templars' Secret Rites on the Screen
1997 was a hard year for the Masons. Footage filmed inside two separate lodges by hidden cameras was shown on Channel 7 of Turkey repeatedly for days. The scenes captured shocked the Turkish people as well as the Grand Masters of Freemasonry. Some footage recorded the Satan-worshipping rite that can be practiced only at the 33rd degree Grand Master level. The Grand Master conducting the ritual was drinking the blood of a goat killed in the middle of the lodge, and ending the ceremony by offering prayers in Hebrew to Satan. In another scene, as part of a Masonic ritual, two new Masons had swords pushed against their chests and were threatened with death. In yet another scene filmed in the same lodge, a Masonic "marriage ceremony" was being conducted-something that Freemasonry had always denied as non-existent.
After the airing of this footage, Freemasonry made the center of the news for days. Some newspapers and magazines had also obtained relevant material. Some of the media coverage read:
The 7th of January, Monday. It's the 1900 hours news on Channel 7. The main news stories of the day are listed, one after the other, and then the bomb is dropped: footage of rites showing Masons of the 33rd degree. What the Masons are, who they serve, and what kind of activities they engage in, is known but, because of their policy of total secrecy, cannot be exposed. But that's exactly what is being done on the screen! Shocking scenes of a lodge that only the highest-ranking bureaucrats and other select personalities can attend. Music playing, Satan worship, white robes, swords, a six-pointed star and a slaughtered goat. The blood of the goat fills a bowl; its head is burned on a spit, to the Hebrew prayers of the Grand Master. These strange scenes took place in the middle of Turkey, in Istanbul. Oaths of a strange and confusing content: "Honorable Kadosh Knights, if you break your oath, may your body be torn to pieces by wild horses [and] turned to ashes, the ashes blown away by winds blowing from the four directions…"
Channel 7 had penetrated the most secret of secret societies and, presumably, were expecting to get the credit for achieving this "world's first." But they were stunned at the silence of the mainstream Turkish media. Instead of basking in the glory of this incredible journalistic achievement, they were perplexed by the silence that greeted it. No other channel aired the footage; no newspaper gave it any columns. Total silence. With the practice of getting married by the Imam in the current headlines, the Masonic marriage ritual should have been of interest. ....
Speaking as a Mason who is a former Ron Paul supporter: No. No he is not. Nor has he ever been. Neither is his son, for that matter. I don't know about his wife and daughters, but if they are members of those organizations it is not because Dr. Paul is a Mason himself. He has at least one family member who was, but he is not.

It would be nice if you started providing proof of your claims. That, or knock off the lies and slander.

LOL @ "Dr. Paul"
Then tell Dr. Paul to stop getting grips on TV.

1) What are you laughing at? He's an M.D. It's his proper title.
2) I assume you're referring to that weak-handed shake he gave to those guests on Real Time with Bill Maher. That wasn't a "grip". He's just an old man who struggles to reach across large tables. And as far as I know none of the guests on the show that night were Masons, either. Please, exercise some common sense.
3) You continue to fail to provide any proof of your claims.
Where is the proof for your denials?

Then list the initiation rituals for every degree in the York Rite.
You are asking myself, and every other York Rite Mason, to violate our vows, which will not happen. The irony of this is, that if I published the rites you ask about, you would be proven wrong in all of your outlandish, hate driven statement's. but alas, we will just have to live with your ignorance, and belief in whatever you read on Google. Even if I did publish my ritual book, I have no doubt, that when you saw that "drinking blood from a skull" was not part of the ritual, I would be called a liar and fake, or accused of deliberate mis-information, so you see, I have no way of proving my point. You and your type are all the same, narrow minded boors, who, in my opinion, are so wrapped up in trying to prove something that you know nothing about that the truth is irrelevant..

You, sir, are the one making accusations of evil wrongdoing on the part of masons. It's up to you to prove the malfiesence, not the masons to disprove it.

Never. Freemasonry has only strengthened by faith in Christ. If you read the Bible you would know that Hiram Abif is mentioned.
That book is incorrect in its assertion that Freemasons hide each other's crimes.

Wait? Why would we tell a candidate to mind their own business? We are trying to teach lessons of morality and good conduct? Many interpretations of our symbols I will tell you, but not all of them.

Why? It is a program that helps recover children taken from their parents. There is nothing sinister about it. Freemasons don't keep copies of the information, all data is given to the parents to keep.
