Is anyone in here a Freemasonry? And why in the world would you want to be one?

Question

Freemasonry is a so called religion or club that worships the devil, and curses GOD. Go to bibleprobe.com to read about them and what they do. Many in our government are in this religion or club or whatever they are calling themselves these days.

Answer 1

yes all of them have one thing in common the are rich and call themselves grand masters

Answer 2

Ok, first off you're wrong, they don't worship the devil. They aren't even a religion.

Second, no I'm not one.

Third, that website is pure BS. They don't even bother to research what they post. Freemasons are a social club. In the 1600's masons gathered in guilds to find what other masons were charging for their services so they could all set fair prices and to ensure that masonry secrets were being kept from the public but still being passed on to new masons (the idea being:if everyone could build their own buildings why would they continue to pay the masons?). This lead into a social gathering for the masons.

Around this same time several secret societies in Europe were being destroyed by the Catholic church for fear that they would gain too much power and both distract people from religion and overthrow the church in politics. Some of these secret societies members were also masons. So they brought other members into the masons and it changed from a social gathering into a secret society.

Since the 1800's they have been more of a social group that involves themselves in charity work and many members have gone on to be politicians around the world. The main tenets of the group are truth and honesty, faith in God, willingness to learn, teach and improve ones self, and the desire to make the world a better place.

They have nothing to do with religion at all except that they require a faith in God. They accept people of all God fearing faiths.

Answer 3

First of all, that you folks who are not Freemasons but have a charitable opinion of us. We do try.

I am simply in awe of the Shriners and their work. Shriners are all Freemasons. They started out as a sort of social club after Lodge, made up some silliness to go along with the latest craze for things in the Middle East (no they did not get it from the Moslems, in fact the Moslems are rather upset with Shriners), but it has become a group that builds and maintains hospitals where burned and crippled children get free medical service.

OK, about Freemasonry itself. We are not a religion. Most of the Orders of Freemasonry (did you know there are a few different brands or Orders of Freemasonry?) require that you believe in a Supreme Being. We do not insist that it is Yod Hey Vav Hey (clue for you out in New Testament land, that is sort of what your God is called - you have to fill in the vowel sounds though) or Allah or Vishnu or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. We just want the person to believe in a Supreme Being. In a way, it is just like Alcoholics Anonymous. I know, some are members of both.

So what if some of our members are Hindus? You have a problem with that? You pick on them, you better be ready to fight me, too. Far from cursing God, we insist that the members be religious and upstanding people. We do not want child-molesting, felonious, back-biting, folks who condemn others to hell because they do not crack their breakfast egg on the little end (as all Lilliputians should.) Nope. We want some of that Brotherhood.

We are a system of morality. We believe in treating people (including Samaritans: BTW, folks from Samara were actually hated by the Jews. Calling someone a Samaritan was like calling him a...well, I will not say it) as we want to be treated. We call it the Golden Rule. We also recognize we fall short on that all the time.

Now, here is a real shocker, some Orders of Freemasonry ADMIT WOMEN, too! Oh, Lord! We recognize that women have souls and morals. Yep, that is called Co-Masonry. Even the masculine rite Freemasons have a wee bit of trouble with it but we are honestly good-hearted folk. Tell you what, if there were any hanky-panky going on, the women folk would be the first to expose it and turn it in. Bunch of men can get away with stuff but you can't fool Mom. Tell me that isn't the truth.

So, do not believe everything you read on the Internet. Satan does set his snares pretty wide these days. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Right? I mean Boy Scouts lets in all different religions, are they Satanic? Whoops, maybe they are. I doubt it.

Do you think Gerald Ford and Harry S Truman were Satanic? Teddy Roosevelt?

Answer 4

Hmmm. Bible probe, eh?
Let's think about that. Who wants to be probed by the Bible?
And just where is the bible probing an individual? Certainly not in the intellectual sense--as evidenced by your extremely slanted, almost mongoloid opine about the freemasons.
While I cannot agree that freemasons are a "religion", as such, I must disagree with your opinion.
Pick up a book, ya stupe, and read instead of flogging your websites.

Answer 5

yep, you are right, hunny.

All the hospitals around the world that the masons have built and support are all the work of the devil. Satan wants the parents of sick children to be indebted to him after his henchmen make sure they don't have to be bankrupt to get medical care for their children.

It actually all makes perfect sense to me. The masons who don't profess christianity alone, do more of the work that Jesus said his followers should do than his followers do, do out of jealousy they make up crazy stories about those who make them look bad. While the followers of Christ build multi-million dollar buildings, pay millions for television and radio programs, dress up in the most expensive clothing they can afford and pray out loud in public places, the masons quietly go about the work of Christ. Somebody has to do it. Christians, in general, aren't very charitable.

Just my take

Answer 6

and ignorance rears its ugly face once again....even Atheists understand Freemasons better than what you are espousing. You should be ashamed when you look in a mirror.
