I just want to say God Bless you.
I am a Freemason - soon to be an ex-Freemason.
I've been through the three degrees of the Blue Lodge. I've gone even further than that... I went through the Scottish Rite to obtain the 32° of Freemasonry. I was very proud of my membership in the fraternity in the short time I belonged, much to my current chagrin.
I have only been a member for a year. Before I joined, I was quite proud to be Catholic. Several years ago, I was even considering the priesthood before I left the Church for some time. I was quite bitter... not at the Church, but at myself, at my own sinfulness, and at my own pride. I joined Freemasonry knowing the Church's prohibition against the organization, and was familiar with your web page well before I was initiated into the first degree. I very much enjoyed being a Freemason. I made a lot of good friends and grew as a person due to my membership.
Yet, admittedly, something in my soul had been aching since that day I went through my very first initiation. I had certainly lapsed as a Catholic and had been deep in my sins well before I took that step, but something within masonry had been killing me spiritually and I certainly felt it.
Freemasonry is a subtle beast. The average person within its ranks has very little idea of the evil that lurks beneath its massive symbolism, but that evil is certainly there. Every aspect of masonry is cunningly designed to destroy men's souls by pulling them away from Christ. I was lucky - Christ Our Lord never allowed me to close my ears to individuals such as yourself whom spoke the truth of the organization. I am grateful for that beyond any words that I could possibly express.
Masonry, both directly and indirectly, is at the heart of all that is wrong with the world today. It breeds apathy to Christ and His Church. It is a doorway to evil spirits. When one goes through the degrees, one is divested of all metals, which especially includes holy sacramentals which might protect one from the demonic energies one comes into contact during the rituals. All prayer is directed to the "Grand Architect Of The Universe", whom assuredly is not the Christian God, for Christ is not to be acknowledged within the lodge as anything other than just a man. Christ is not mentioned lest the followers of other religions be offended, yet Masonic ritual refers explicitly to pagan gods whom ought to offend any faithful Christian. The nature of Masonry ought to be clear from this alone.
Freemasonry is the Luciferian religion shrouded in dark secrecy. Its subtleties are such that, unless one studies occult iconography apart from masonry, one cannot comprehend the totality of what is being taught. Freemasonry is the anti-Church and its spirit is most assuredly anti-Christ. Masons whom read this will certainly call me a bigot and accuse me of never being a Mason in the first place, but neither is true. It is not my fault that they never understood the essence of the "Craft" in the first place. I regret having a part in that "Craft" in the first place.
There is a far greater Brotherhood in the world than Masonry could ever hope to be. This is certainly a claim that most Masons would deny on its very face until I name it, after which they ought to be ashamed. The Brotherhood that is greater than Masonry is the Church of Jesus Christ, which no institution built by man or devil can possibly rival. Any Christian who requires a greater bond of fellowship than that which they gain through the grace of Christian baptism most certainly sells their Lord short, for He can bond men in a far greater manner through His Sacraments than any occult ritual could hope to do.
I am not expressing myself as fully as I wish I could, but it suffices to say that I regret having belonged to the Masonic Lodge despite any perceived good I might have gained through my membership. It profits us nothing to gain the world but to lose our souls.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email, God bless you, and keep up the good work.
In Christ,

M,
ReplyDeleteGod bless you! I, too was a mason, Raised in 1996. It took me several years to come to gather my wits, but i did with the help of God and my mother! To make a long story short, my question was... Why Blindfolded at the Alter? Isn't the bible supposed to be the one thing that everyone can turn to without a blind eye? And why do they Demonic Representation and Satanic Bible in their Library? Hmmmmm! Good luck to you my brother in non-masonry!
TS
This is a very brave post from you and congratulations. However. I want to suggest to you that there is an even greater brother hood than even the church of Christ, for Christ is a great consciousness in our minds that we ad here ourselves to and that is good. But greater than this brother hood and one which Christ would embrace or encourage us to embrace is the brother hood of mankind. One thing which evil uses against us is the method of divide and conquer us all. We are all brothers. If you want to test this theory out. Look at the pictures of crying fathers with his dead child in his hands in Iraq. Or the dying children in Africa. Or look at any one of the peoples around the world who are suffering at the hands of these nonsense devil religions. Tell me that in your heart you do not feel that those people are in essence, against evil generally, an ally, a brother, and a fellow human being and tell me that in that essential recognition, your Jesus Christ does not support this brotherhood and fellowship.
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of a divorce from a 33 degree Mason. I am a life long Catholic and my husband converted to Catholisism, but he has let the Freemasonry controll his life and I feel like I'm living with Lucifer himself. I never knew much about Masonry but I know that it has ruined our marriage. He was married to the Masons and never to me.
ReplyDeleteanonymous
Deleteno wonder he's gone a 33rd degree MASON does not exist,and you believed this? there are only 3degrees in Masonry EA, FC,MM.
there is a 33rd degree.
Deleteit is amazing how a handfull of religious intolerant kooks can find each other among billons. As to the ex-masons, good ridance. To the divorcee, probably a case of frigidity rather than anything to do with being a Mason.
ReplyDeleteYou're another ignorant non mason with a vivid imagination and no idea.........
DeleteChallenge yourself to be a better person. Cultivate friendships and family bonds. Engage in charity work and engage with people from all walks of life. Try to listen more in life and use more of your time to study. I could go on but these are just some of the traits that make a man a Mason. We aspire to be better people while you sit here and engage your brains in a form of what can only be described as mental illness. I would hazard a guess that you all work very hard to remain so ignorant. As to the purported 'ex-masons' good riddance. You're misshapen stones that were clearly never fit for the purpose. Good day to you...ps...go outside and get some fresh air :)

ReplyDeletethe Masonic is a "false religion" and all anyone with half a Spirit of God living in them, would have to do is read the "Ahiman Rezon" to realize the truth !!
ReplyDeleteIt is not compatible with the Torah and it's teachings, nor the Holy Bible with the OT and NT.
A Master Mason is told that he has been "resurected" and is promised a life in eternity with god. There is only ONE WAY and His name is Yahushua, Christ Jesus.
Eph. 5:11 tells us to come out from the DARKNESS and EXPOSE those evil things!
John 18:20 -- "I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing." Throughout Scripture, we are told to imitate Jesus Christ, and let Him serve as our example. Thus, since Jesus Christ never, ever did anything in secret, we are not to do anything in secret, either. The true Christian walk is to be the utmost in transparency possible.
ReplyDeleteBut, in Masonry, initiates are forced to take the most terrible oaths of secrecy, which we shall get to in a minute. First, let us examine Jesus' commands against taking any kind of oath. Notice that Jesus Christ personally forbade taking any kind of oath, based upon anything on earth, or in the heavens.
Matthew 5:34-46 -- "Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."
all of this is bogus. The christian bible is always present at all occassions. It is required that all masons put their families and jobs before their fraternity period.
ReplyDeleteThat bible is not of Christ Jesus-- Lucifer wrote that book and because of Cosmic Law he had to add some truth about the TRUE and LIVING GOD in it... Wonder why the name of JESUS CHRIST is removed form ALL Masonic Witchcraft hymms, spells, and prayers...http://www.upstreamca.org/Freemasonry_AllYouNeed_Buys.pdf
DeleteI just want to comprehende, how a great minister, man of God, preaching the gospel, even casting out demons, teaching biblical principles, standing out against sin could easily get involved with freemasonry.Isn't it possible to see the dark side of freemason in advance?
ReplyDeleteFirstly, a one-year member cannot possibly understand the nature of the fraternity. I have been a member for four years and I still have questions that I get answered from several objective and subjective sources every day. Every time, even the worst average of answers is still better than I expected.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, to the divorcee: your ex-husband has a character flaw. Had he been a member of any club, he would have given himself to it to feel accepted.
Thirdly, if Christ commands we Christians to not take oaths, then why do so many clergymen and every married couple take vows?
Finally, if Freemasonry has a dark side, then most human beings are rational enough to decide for themselves. Please do not be so arrogant as to believe that you may save an intellectually evolved person. I find it personally insulting to get the same lecture from brand-new Christians (I have been a practicing Baptist my entire life) who get fleeced dry by a corporate Church of any denomination.
Well said Brother.
DeleteI am really interested in the free maisons & would love to join! I believe that religion is just as corrupt & hypocritical as any corporation or political party! I want to better myself for me & my family & be the best person I can be if anyone knows how to become a member of a London fraternity please post a blog, many thanks!
ReplyDeleteTo the commenter that posted on 04/03/09:
ReplyDeleteThe Lord is unlimited in the things He can reveal. For years Freemasonry has been accused of/involved in scandals. One bad group can ruin the bunch. However when the same crimes (especially ones of satanic influence) infiltrates the organization at the highest levels, one has to question their allegiance. If you look at the massive amounts of independent sources that make strong cases that hold Freemasonry in coorboration with the Illuminati, any member involved should not have their hearts be hardened and ignore these strong and irrefutable ties.
And finally, I believe you have misinterpreted the scripture in regards to oaths. Christ told us not to make vows to men for we are not ourselves to do so. However we are to make oaths unto him (Matt 5:34-46). This is why we make pledges/oaths of chastity or marriage vows...it is a covenant between ourselves and God.
"I joined Freemasonry knowing the Church's prohibition against the organization, and was familiar with your web page well before I was initiated into the first degree...."
ReplyDelete***Dear EX-Brother "M"
I know you are an educated man but also a stupid goat. Why did you join the craft if you already about this funny webpage?
Why did you pursue your Masonic career up to the 32nd degree? Probably you joined Masonry for your selfish interest? Maybe.
".......whom read this will certainly call me a bigot and accuse me of never being a Mason in the first place, but neither is true. It is not my fault that they never understood the essence of the "Craft" in the first place."
*** Are you sure we never understood our Craft? Well, we do. Good thing that you left. You do not deserve to be a real Mason anyway. We know who you are. Be careful.
Morning *
"Be Careful" sounds like a threat. The guy left Masonry and you threaten him. That should tell people about what your organization is about. Are you afraid he might tell the truth about Masonry? Sure sounds like it.
DeleteIt does sound like a threat of those non informed of the good and kind side of illuminati freemasonry it's all the same ..why are you angry hostile and spread negativity when free masonry is aĺl about bettering urself and the world.mahbe you need to start your learning from the start
DeleteGreetings my fine peers of all,
ReplyDeletei find this blog to be quiete refreshing in many ways! in that light, i would like to share respectfully! my thoughts pertaining to the subject at hand. i am a member of the a.f.&.a.m. and i am also a memeber of the scottish rite i.e. 32 degree!
i have been a mason for 6 years. before i took my obligation as a mason i was very duely and truely prepared! as i love to read natrualy.i informed my self by reading many works on the subject of freemasonry.
i found the subject to be very enlightening! and the motive behind the "ritual" teachings to be a very strong and impactful! a foundation upon wich a man could find wisdom, honor , truth , morals of a higher standerd, and share the like with like minded fellows!
sadly as i draft this on this fine blog i have made the personal choice to become inactive as a mason!
and i will tell you why!
firstly i am not a christian and in THE INNER LODGE AND AT ALL LODGE FUCNCTIONS all prayers are IN the name of JESUS CHRIST LORD AND SAVIOR?
i find this offenseive! i am not an anti christian or anti anything you see masonry is not a religion nor is to be "used" as one!
masonry is suposed to be open to all men of all faiths BY LEAVEING POLITICS AND RELIGION OUT OF THE LODGE AND ALL LODGE FUNCTIONS! however this is not the case i have come to find!
secondly it is christians and likeminded persons who are on a strange and twisted mission to destroy that in wich they know nothing about!
again i have no problems with christians! i just dont understand why they rape and pilige cultures and dominate and lynch those who dont believe in the judeo christian religion?
thirdly i have only met a tiny hand full of real honorable upstanding spiritualy rich (no matter what faith)masons who are good men trying to better the world in wich they live!
thru wisdom philanthropy teaching involment in there churchs or temples or whatever! i have only meet a tiny hand full of mason who REALLY TAKE THERE OATHS AND OBLIGATIONS SERIUOSLY, AND LIVE A TRUELY SQUARE LIFE! ENCOMPASSED BY POSITIVE GOOD MORAL LIGHT!
THE REST ARE ALL A BUNCH OF WEAK LIL MEN WHO NEED SONE KIND OF VALIDATION OR TITLE IN LIFE SO THEY BOUGHT THERE DEGREES AND DONT CARE ABOUT THE REST! THERE DRUNKS AND DERALCTS WHO DONT EVEN STUDY THE PRINCIPLES AND WISDON OF REAL A.F.&A.M.!
FOURTH, LODGE IS A JOKE! ITS NOTHING BUT GOSSIP , RACISM, HATE, AND DIVISION THERE IS NO BROTHERLYLOVE IN THESES LODGES TRUST ME!
and most of all there no respest for the fraternity or its honorable teachings! none!
fear mongering guys come in see everthing and leave now! ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET! THE GRIPS! THE PASSWORDS! THE PLAYS! ALL THE THEATRICS AND THE SCRIPTS EVERTHING! A MAN COULD EASLY GET IN TO A LODGE AND POSE AS AMASON SO EASY! its all out there!
SO BASICLY FOR ME I WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND LEARN AND REMAIN BEING THE BEST MAN I CAN BE IN THE EYES OF GOD! I WILL LET MORAL TRUTH AND WISDOM BE MY GUIDE IN MY OWN PRIVITE QUEST ON MY MASONIC QUEST!
BECOUSE MAN AND MAN MADE RELIGION AND AND FALSE ACUSATIONS AND DESICRATEING OF SACRED TEACHINGS OF MORAL GROWTH HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED AND PUBLICLY DESTROYED! ANTI MASONS ARE OF NO INTELLIGENCE! READ LEARN ABOUT YOUR OWN RELIGION BEFORE CALLING A BROTHERHOOD A RELIGION LOOK AT THE EVILS COMMITED IN THE NAME OF CHRIST! LOOK AT THE TRUTH! READ!
WITH THAT SAID FROM A MASON TO THE WORLD MAINLY CHRISTIANS/MASONS TOO! THANK YOU FOR RUINING SOMETHING THAT WAS GREAT FOR ME! THANKS! THANKS FOR RUINING SOMRHTING I VALUED AND KNOW IS A GREAT TOOL TO BETTER A MANS LIFE ALONG WITH ANY FAITHS TEACHINGS BECOUSE MASONRY IS NOT A RELIGION! THANKS!
Ugh. I imagine you believe you can make anyone understand English by SHOUTING at them as well. Your post demonstrates more and more ignorance with each keystroke so maybe it's merely your limited cognitive skills that made the whole darned thing so challenging for you.
DeletePoor widdle man.
by the way i AM A BUDDHIST! NOT A DEVIL WORSHIPER!
ReplyDeleteI DONT BELIEVE IN YOUR DEVIL OR DOGMA!
AND JUST SO YOU KNOW THE 33RD DEGREE IS HONORARY BASED ON YOUR "PHILONTHROPIC ACTIONS AND IN LIFE" AND JUST LIKE THE 3RD DEGREE IT DIDNT EVEN EXSIST UNTIL AFTER THE 1860'S! THE 4TH THRU 33RD DEGREES WERE "INVENTED" AS A SYSTEM TO RECOGNIZE MEN WHO ARE CHARITABLE HONORABLE COMMUNITY MINDED FOLKS!
EVERY DEGREE IS "FORSALE" ANYONE CAN BUY! TRUST ME! THATS THE PROBLEM!
IN ONE OF THE HIGHER DEGREES IN WICH ARE PLAYS THAT YOU SIT AND WATCH! THATS HOW YOU TAKE "THE DEGREE" YOU WATCH AND LEARN THE MORALS TEACHINGS BEHIND EACH PLAY!
ANYWAYS THE ACTOR WHO IS THE CANIDATE DRINKS WINE FROM A CLAY SKULL CHALICE THE PLAY TAKES PLPACE IN THE DAYS OF THE TEMPLARS ETC. AND IT REPRESENTS THE OLD SCHOOL WAY OF "MASS" BAECOUSE OF THIS YOU CALL US BLOOD GUZZLEING DEVIL WORSHIPERS! SAD! SAD! SAD!
TRAVEL LIGHT! THANKS AGIAN FOR RUINING MASONRY FOR THIS MAN!
Hi Raymond,
ReplyDeleteHow did you get to become a freemason if buddhists do not believe in an ultimate god of the universe?
I can understand why you want to leave a lodge where the name of Jesus Christ is used and that is because when His name is mentioned those in the dark starts to shiver in fear. For they know what is coming and they do not want to go there.......Jesus Christ is the light mate and He loves you, stop denying Him and receive His unconditional love, grace and mercy.
I know that masons are controlled by fear/oaths and to be released of that fear will only be done through Jesus Christ!
Praise God!
to all of you claiming to be 32nd and 33rd degree masons:
ReplyDeleteI am a freemason and have been so for 7 years. i am not even beginning my 'masonic journey'. It is laughable to think that there are those posting on this page who claim to have attained the 32nd and 33rd degree through the scottish rite (or Ancinet and accepted rite - by some posts it is unclear). Degrees are not bestowed so quickly. it is a requirement that someone should be a master mason (3rd degree) for a minimum of 5 years, and ususally a past master (which takes a minimum of 7 years) before even being considered for the scottish, or the ancient and accepted rite (Rose Croix)in the UK, and then it would take several years to attain a higher degree than 19th - and only then strictly by invitation and in selective numbers. I would find it very difficult to believe anyone who claims to have attained the 32nd degree after being a mason for less than 15 years. Your comments would be very interesting.
yes you are so right Brother.Raymond sounds frustrated maybe they refused him entry.
DeleteYour comment of members waiting long to join is wrong memberships are dropping and enrollment is not up high anymore. People would rather go clubbing than sit and talk politics all night. Sorry but the morals in the world today are really gone. There is good and evil in anything the Catholic Church used to forbid members joining the Freemasons so shocking you joined as a Catholic. The Catholic Church worships Mary not Jesus which is a no no by the bible. The Catholic Church invented the confession booths got sick of torturing instead people would confess there sins in the booth easier than having to torture them. You people have Google at your finger tips yet refuse to do your own research. Hardest fraternity to ever join is the Skull and Bones or the illuminati. guess what you cant join them they select you. the cia was founded with in the skull and bones. the illuminati you have to be born into no outsiders allowed. so there you have it the real secret societies above the masons just a good old boy network. its not what you know its who you know.
ReplyDeletePraise The Lord Jesus Christ. He will forever reign on The Most High!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... ? Ok? So Jesus Rocks. What's that reminder for? Yourself? Do you regularly forget and just need to blurt it out?
DeleteWOW... Can I just take a moment to say that to the unsuspecting outsider, you all sound like a bunch of ignorant crooks.
ReplyDeleteHow it is that a group as POWERFUL as the Catholic Church can find people to push their agenda and shun those who are merely DIFFERENT from them is outrageous to me.
IT'S 2011. NOT 611. Open your eyes. YOUR way of thinking is WRONG and if there ever is a true end of times, you will realize, in death, that the Great One, whomever he may be, does not have the time nor the care to allow hatred, ignorance, and ignorant smear campaigns into the afterlife.
Give it up people... Just because something is different from you is no reason to hate or bash it. I could just as easily say that you Catholics would go to "hell," or Baptists, or ANY Christians...but why? YOU, including the Jews and the Muslims, ALL WORSHIP THE SAME GOD. Why do you insist on hating eachother when all you should be doing is getting together and finding ways to WORSHIP BETTER AND GET ALONG BETTER?
hahaha after reading this I'm in fact encouraged to join FM even though I don't even believe in god. (one of major prerequisites to join FM interestingly enough) Do you honestly think that people will take this drivel seriously? After 1900 years catholic church has had enough of time to show everyone convincingly what they are about and what they would do if in possession of power. FM on the other hand was the beacon of free thought way back when no one dared to say anything wrong about way catholic church conducts itself.
ReplyDeleteThey were the only ones with balls. You can sell this bullshit to someone who doesn't know world history beyond last decade.
While women cannot join regular lodges, there are many female orders associated with regular Freemasonry and its appendant bodies.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree to obtain the 32 and if you are very lucky 3rd degree you would be in the lodge for a minimum of 15 to 20 years. The fact that within my lodge there are 60 year old Master Masons 3rd Degree. I laugh allot about you fellow Christians you talk about evil the devil have you taken a historical look at your faith. Christianity has destroyed killed and raped people since the death of Christ and please tell me where Jesus informed any one he wanted a religion in his name I BELIEVE IN GOD. I FEEL THAT GOD WOULD NEVER EVER WANT US TO WASTE OUR LIVES LISTENING TO THIS DRIBBLE.
ReplyDeleteChristians ARE DIFFERENT FROM NONE CHRISTIANS WHAT BECAUSE YOU 1.GO TO CHURCH ON WEEKENDS. NOT ONE OF YOU ARE REAL CHRISTIANS NOT ONE. YOU. IF YOU WATCH TV YOU IF YOU LISTEN TO THE RADIO YOU IN FACT ARE HELPING SATAN ACHIEVE HIS END GOAL. aND ALL THESE SO CALLED BROTHERS WHO ARE TELLING SECRETS ABOUT OUR CIRCLE YOU TOOK OATHS THAT ARE NO REVERSIBLE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU UNDERSTAND THIS HOWEVER ONE THE 2ND DEGREE YOU DIED AND BORN AGAIN AND NOT AS IN BORNE AGAIN CHRISTIAN REAL MASONS UNDER STAND WHAT I'M SAYING.
