yes i believe that they conduct some strange ritual and for anyone here who think not, its simply because they are only beginner (lower degree) who succesfully have been brainwashed and always think that the organization is focus on freedom, universality, and etc (so many jargons.... ). they dont know who sits in their highest degree (only by speculation) and mostly only the higher degree which allowed to have some sort of rituals.
In my country Indonesia, freemasony were once exist and in 1961 goverment declared a presidential decree which said that freemasonry, - or Vritjmeselarij because it was promoted by dutch VOC who occupied the country for more than 300 years-, was forbidden. it was because there were growing notion by the local people there that they conduct strange rituals (devil worship) which contradictory with the religions that exist there (eg, Islam,Christian,Buddhis and hindu). at least the interesting question is, it is merely a coincidence that people in every country in this world have the same idea/suspicion that masons are conduct some devil worship/strange rituals ??

Sectarianism is simply the belief that one's faith has an exclusive corner on the Truth and that all others are false. In fact, Christianity is deemed by Freemasonry to be a sect, and Christians who believe in Jesus alone are said by Masons to be sectarian. Since it is revealed that their Masonic "God" hates sectarianism, in effect, Freemasonry's elite are admitting that they hate Jesus Christ. That is why the Masonic institution freely accepts Buddhists, Moslems, Zoroastrians, Voodooists, and even Satanists into its fraternal chambers. All are welcomed so long as each agrees that his particular religion is not exclusive. That would be sectarianism. However, Jesus Christ testified that He alone is the one true God, that He alone is "The Way, The Truth, and The Life." Therefore, all those who believe in Him as Lord and Savior refuse to give glory to any other deity. Every true Christian, in the strictest Masonic view, is therefore, necessarily hated and despised as a divisive, sectarian believer.

Masons are a "secret society." Better to avoid these types of societies, simply because they ARE secretive in the rites and tiruals. You can get caught in things you had better be without.

Absolutely not! It's a misconception, perpetrated by ignorant people who don't know anything about them other than that it's a "secret society."
