You right so many can tell stories and have no truth to it. Thats what I like to do. Take something and find the truth. Debunk it, or find evidence to support it. I have all 33rd degree of Scottish Rite freemasonry 12 degree of the York Rite, given to be by someone who is a 33 degree freemason. I have talk to both freemasons and anti-freemasons alike. I have found that anti-freemason claims are usually taken from morals and dogma which is just one masonic writer. That is like judgeing Christianity from one book written by some preacher. Not to mention no one understands Morals and Dogma. I have taken denominations warning againest masonry why they warn againest it and haven't found anything but pushing what they believe, not what is factual true. All they state is its evil, its not Christ like. These are also the same arguements to be made of anything but that doctrine. By the way I'm Southern Baptist and the SBC is againest masonry. I used SBC as one of my denominations againest freemasonry to base research off of. I found that one of the founders of an anti-masonic group was kick out of the masons, and nother one not allowed to join both because they had criminal backgrounds which is againest masonic bylaws.
I have also found that freemason gives each member a Bible and at the Knight Templar degree (highest degree in york rite) swear an oath to defend the Christian faith. What masons will tell me and what I have match up, and I never tell them what I have. I ask question from anti-masonic statements. They have no secrets. That is their best secret. I know serveral local clergy who are freemasons and I have spoke to them about it. I had one who was a Methodist Pastor answer my question "How do you answer people who ask you about your membership in the lodge." He answers "I don't see how you can be a pastor and not be a mason." another was a Baptist Preacher told me that only people who make freemasonry a religion are the ones who are againest it. I have done this for a long time try to find some type of proof to these claims that you have made. I have books like you wouldn't believe and copies of all rituals. Its nothing more then a bunch of old men getting out of the house. I went in to this a long time ago thinking that I'll find what has been posted here, I have everything but what is stated here. I have a copy of a 32nd Degree events schedule for a weekend reunion from 1972. The event was for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Sunday morning they had schdule in 8 - 1 for church and worship services in the . It does say information reguarding local churches will be at the information desk. This goes on and on. Do you honestly think a church of satanic worship would alot time for its members for church services especially for a 32nd degree?
You won't see any of that on the God Channel. The reason why I went to such great length and took so much time to look in to it. Its because I kept hearing Christians claim how evil it was but yet nothing match up.
