Well, what you say doesn't align at all with what I've heard all my life about my uncle from his and my close relatives, i.e., that he was a Shriner, and had attained the 32nd Degree in Freemasonry, which, I was told, is a requirement for becoming a Shriner. I've seen the pictures of him with the full Shriner accoutrements, hat, and whatnot, since I was a kid. He had a full-honors Shriner's funeral.

It's just what satan does and has done from the beginning. "he is a liar and the father of all lies."
I'll also repeat, true Christianity and Freemasonry is not compatable. If a person is not a true follower of Christ, then it doesn't really much matter and this whole discussion is irrelevant.


And I expect most, if not all modern organized religion will fall into Satans power through their love of the almighty dollar if it hasn't already, as did the spiritual leaders of Jesus' day.

Organized religion will be one of the heads of the four headed beast.

Could it be they haven't yet told you about the degrees above three? wink

True, but it is interesting to see how people are using the language to ignore and obfuscate when it is required.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I'll take Masons over the brand of Christianity typically on display here.

Correct, but it does not hold true according to what state in the union you live in, as fish head suggested in a post to me on this thread. Good and bad in all, everywhere. I just happened to be close to that world, and got to see more bad than good, and it left it's mark for me.


I happened to see the exact opposite and there wasn't any bad ... at all.

My dad was more involved with his Greeter's Group than in the in the lodge itself. The group of inductees, wives and family included, were really nice people. Their thing was more social in nature versus abiding by and being "all in" with the Lodge. That's not to say they weren't involved with the Lodge though.

It was a group of like minded people that were veterans, business owners, professionals, and working class people that were just ordinary every day good folks. There were no wife beaters, drunks, or anything of the kind among them. It wouldn't have been tolerated ... ever.

When we moved my dad attended a few meetings at the Lodge in our new city but he didn't find the same things he valued so much in his prior Lodge. I don't recall what it was exactly and he lost interest but he stayed in touch with the Greeters until he died. A few even attended his funeral.

I'm not a Mason, but have done research on the subject. In this day and age I am continually surprised by what sheeple don't know. If one cares to do some research, they will find that not only are there 32nd Degree Masons, but also 33rd Degree Masons.

You must be a Mason to ever become part of the Shriners,,Scottish Rite,,,etc. The 3rd degree of Masonry is the Master Mason Degree, which is the highest degree which one can obtain in Free Masonry in the Blue Lodge. To tell you more would involve more than knocking your teeth out. cool

We can twist words all day... wink There are also entirely different by-laws for each organization. I could also call you ignorant,,,but that's already obvious.

I already know more than you on the subject, since I know that there are more than three degrees in Freemasonry, my uncle having been a 32nd Degree Freemason and a Shriner.

PS I guess you're free to try knocking me out.

Accoutrements and Whatnots? But, did he ever have one of them cool, tricked-out clown cars for the parade?.......

Being a tiny bit knowledgeable of Freemasonry I am very entertained by what the certain few know-it-alls have to say about the Fraternity.

I do know the Catholic Church has condemned Freemasonry. That in itself may indicate Freemasons aren't too bad.

I'll just keep traveling and seeking.. Who knows, I may find some Lodge Masters diddling DeMolays.... but I doubt it smile

I don't know much about the nuts and bolts of Masonry, but I have grave reservations about any secret organization who's members are so prevalent in Public Office..
