As you can see normally we avoid telling things to people that we fear will backfire on us.
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:5, 6

Hey there, I starred your deeply thought out and provocative post although I would like to posit a different point of view. I don't think freemasonry is in control of the major world affairs at all. Yes, some members are freemasons.

Maybe you should go and tell that to the thousands of children and families masons have helped with their commitment to The Shrine Hospital for Children?
Maybe you should ask the kids who have been to many different Scottish Rite Learning Centers?
How about the numerous Masonic scholarships around the world? Do you even know what philanthropy means? How about charity and brotherly love?

All the good done cannot justify the coordinated push for a compartmentalized Social World Order.
the Philanthropy is a red herring for the profane.

I know the origin of Freemasonry. I know the teachings and you can't deceive me. My grandfather was a Freemason but thank God that he left it. That G does NOT represent God. God is not an architect. An architect takes what is already made and uses that. Freemasons, Shriners, you're both the same.

Secrecy isn't a bad thing. Everyone enjoys it at some level and in some instances secrecy breeds trust and fidelity.
Which books are these? I've yet to hear from any of you of what constitutes a "high level". I hope to hear an explanation soon so I have a goal to shoot for.
We've done squat? What about the millions donated to charity? Look at the numerous charities supported by Freemasonry. What about the countless lives helped?
To be frank, you guys really no # about the "top levels". Quit acting like you know anything because you don't.

There is no tie to any remnants of what could be called the NWO and Freemasonry. Quit using fear and paranoia to make us a scapegoat.

Yeah because everything on the Internet is true and no one has ever fabricated lies about Albert Pike...

You really don't know about what an architect is. It is synonymous with builder and creator. Maybe you should expand your vocabulary.

And yet you believe the bad stuff written on the Internet, but disregard anything that opposes your views. Nice selective bias.

I'd say from the outside that it can be confusing, but even when you're on the inside it can be confusing. There are some notable citations in his book that make you scratch your head.

How many bad things have you read or heard about masons and the illuminati?
If you think all of it is balloney then why do you and the other masons need to defend yourselfs?
