No comparison. You can't compare personal privacy with people coming together in secret to figure out how to provide "fundraising efforts" or "leadership to the community"

In the UK there is a witch hunt to identify Freemason lawyers and judges. Most people refused to even reply to a particular survey, which has caused drama in the British Parliament.

I'm not sure what relation you're making between those two.

Privacy is for individuals, not for groups of people.

Groups have their secrets, and that's all and well, but the Freemasons have some particularly disturbing secrets. Why do we know this? Because former members have actually exposed them.

Actually, no. No successful revolution has ever been carried out transparently. However, the other poster seems to be making the insinuation that revolution is inherently good, which is false.

Freemasons everywhere have a duty to deny what they share behind closed doors. If they didn't want to deny, then they would simply quit out of principle.

You only need to believe in a Supreme Being. You don't need to practice a religion.

You'd be surprised at how many Masons deny that George Washington was one.

Who are these "good guys?" I'm sure you could find something bad about each and every one of them.

Almost all historians, both Masonic and secular, agree that Freemasonry began with the stonemason guilds in medieval England.



And yet there is a degree called the Order of Knights Templar


The theory that the Masons came from the Templars was popular in the 19th century. At one time all the big time Masonic authors bought the story, including Pike, Mackey, and Waite.

Since that time, other evidence has been noted that disputes that theory, and we now know that Freemasonry existed before the Templars did (meaning of course that the Templars could not have created it).



I don't believe the Priory of Sion thing either, but the Knights Templar did exist, and you don't deny that they fled from France to Scotland.


It is true that some left for Scotland, and is possible that some joined Masonic Lodges. However, in Portugal, the Templars there simply changed their name to Knights of Christ, which still exists and has demonstrable historical ties to the original Templars, whereas Freemasonry does not.

Other organizations also have provable historical ties to the Templars in other countries. Outside of France, most Templars had been acquitted and they simply carried on under other orders chivalry.



Where is your proof, that you are taught to be "charitable" ??


It is the very first lesson a Mason learns upon his initiation.

He wasn't. Freemasonry is not connected with other organizations, fraternal or otherwise.

However, obviously, neither of those should be confused with God.

The Lodge minutes still exist, as do many letters written by Washington, which mention his Masonic affiliation. There is no doubt that Washington was a Master Mason, and had served multiple terms as Worshipful Master of Alexandria Lodge in Fredericksburg, VA. There is also no doubt that Washington laid the Corner Stone to the Capitol Building in a Masonic ceremony, and was buried with Masonic honors.

There is some argument, however, as to whether he was a Royal Arch Mason. No actual records exist showing him having been exalted to that degree, but his apron features Royal Arch symbolism.

Although we know of quite a few Illuminists who were Masons, we don't know of a single Templar who became one.

It involves the candidate's journey in the rite of initiation, and is therefore esoteric. However, in the prayer which closes the Lodge, the Chaplain recites:

"May we daily increase in faith, hope, and charity, but more especially in that charity, which is the bond of peace, and the perfection of every virtue...."

I think that sums it up nicely.

Skull and Bones has nothing to do with either Germany or Freemasonry.

I find it funny how people use the bible for everthing.....any how i must agree that the masons do not care for this god...there are very little secret societies which do...if you look at it its almost like they are religions except for the whole believing in god....paganism was one of the first quote on quote religions to exist..they did not believe in a god rather they believed in the universe and nature...centuries later came catholics which added the whole creator god image....now look at freemasons....are they not doing exactly the same thing but in a different way....they are beginning fresh from paganism and then adding their own set of laws and commandements to the story...in my opinion

Freemasonry as an organization does not give any opinion as to the nature of God. Freemasonry is a club, and each member has their own religion and God. Many Masons are Christians. Many are not.


there are very little secret societies which do...if you look at it its almost like they are religions except for the whole believing in god...


Again, many secret societies are religious in nature. Many are not.


paganism was one of the first quote on quote religions to exist..they did not believe in a god rather they believed in the universe and nature...centuries later came catholics which added the whole creator god image...


Paganism was definitely before Christianity. However, the concept of a Creator God has been around thousands of years before the catholics. The Egyptians believed in a Creator God. As did the Greeks, the Jews and many others. Although Catholicism has shaped modern Christianity to a large degree, I cannot agree that they were responsible for introducing the idea of a Creator God.


now look at freemasons....are they not doing exactly the same thing but in a different way....they are beginning fresh from paganism and then adding their own set of laws and commandements to the story...in my opinion


Masonry has to do with morals, not religion.

You seem to have misunderstood Saurus' reply. In-Lodge, nobody's religion changes. I'm still Anglican, the United Church brethren are still U.C., the Sikh member still Sikh and so on. Masonry looks to use the commonalities between the world's religions as a bridge so that men of good character can work together instead of having their differences used as a lever against them.

I think both Fitz *and* Feliz are correct. Fitz is correct in saying that each individual Mason adheres to his own religious belief. Feliz is correct in that, even though opinions may differ, men of different backgrounds come together in the lodge to celebrate the things they do agree on.

Christians have always depicted God through art and symbolism.

Christian symbolism depicts parts of God (such as his power), or the Trinity, but not God himself. The Bible says that He is infinite and invisible, which would be pretty tough to draw on paper.
