Well guys, I've been reading the posts about Masons for quite a while now. I have done as was suggested and met a few Masons, whom I would like to add, are unbelievably nice guys. I expressed my interest in possibly petitioning to become a member, received a petition, and I promptly completed and turned it into the Lodge.

Last month, I was voted in the Lodge unanimously and was set for initiation on the 16th of September. Today is the 13th, and I am starting to get a little nervous... Is there anything in particular that I should know or be aware of before going to my initiation?? I'm pretty excited, but at the same time, I'm quite a bit nervous... I would appreciate any suggestions!

I do not wish to disrupt your path. However, you have asked the question, so I will give my answer.

The Freemasons are a huge secret-society serving a cult which dates back further than ancient Egypt, or even Sumeria. While members below the Illuminated levels are totally oblivious of the society's true agenda, they inadvertently serve that agenda, while also performing benevolent works which uphold the acceptability of this misunderstood society.

If you believe in human freedom, I recommend steering clear of the Freemasons. I am happy to explain in further detail.

Kind regards

Good luck. The only thing I would tell you is to try and forget those nerves, listen, watch and enjoy the experience. Initiation is the greatest day of any Masonic career.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to contact your proposer.

And how is that bad ?

I'm being facetious here, but even if that were true, why on earth would you not want to be involved?

LTD602:

"why on earth would you not want to be involved?"

great question! here's the best answer I have:

I have transcended personal interests - on the grounds that without immediate priority on collective interests such as freedom, we will lose basic necessities very soon, such as freedom.

Kind regards

You have transcended personal interests?

Well, then, I don't know what to say. Congratulations, for having no real personal interests beyond OUR collective well-being.

Are you involved in charities? Volunteer work? Some form of social work?

Just curious, I'm not implyig anything.

LTD602 -

transcended personal interests of wealth accumulation,
not basic interests like food, shelter, etc., or my
need for precious links to other free thinkers via Internet

Even though Libertad posted a link to an absolutely excellent and completely factual website about the earth being ran by interdimensional reptilian people, perhaps my advice here may prove somewhat more timely:

The only thing you should be aware of during your initiation is to be aware and pay attention. Masonic ceremony is extremely old, and falls on the modern ear in unaccustomed accents, but its beauty is truly inspirational, and you will never want to forget it.

Congratulations on your Acceptance, let us know how you liked it when it's over!

Fiat Lvx.

Do you assume Masonry is simply about wealth accumulation?

Were you ever a Mason?

Masonic Light

Libertad:

Kindly tell me on what basis (and by what right) you make such accusations against masonry if you have never been a Mason.

Is your source David Icke, among others?

LTD602:

Yes, David Icke, among others.
My father was a Mason but left.
Otherwise I have also done considerable
verification-research of topics raised by
David Icke and others. Many pieces have
fitted together to reach my current position
on this subject.

Includnig his book about reptilian overlords?
