Yes, the Masons are evil. That will depend of course on your definition of evil. The US military is evil. They are no longer for defense of a nation that stands for freedom but a corporate offensive force for economic expansion. So if you join the military and figure that out you need to quit or else you become evil along with the organization. Freemasonry is a sham just like any conspiratorial group. They have an agenda and disguise it with honest seeming surface behavior. People keep blaming the top ranking Super Deluxe masons and saying lower level masons are OK. With all the information available in regards to Masonic activity if lower level Masons aren't aware then they must be illiterate. For a reference please see my sites. Thanks for letting me rant.
Rant away. Yes, I believe the military is evil too. They are aligned with the Masons. I'm starting to believe that anyone in Masonry understands what it's all about from the first initiation.
Thanks for participating.

1) I love how people slander the military when they are there to protect your freedom to bitch about them. Ungrateful.
2) I have noticed that (for the most part) those that bitch about philanthropic organizations and even the military are usually the ones who do the least to better their community. They are usually the leeches and complainers.
3) When you are first initiated, you are taught to be good and true, to practice charity, exercise your faith whatever it may be, and have hope of a glorious afterlife (in whatever form you believe it to be). To relieve those in suffering. To treat everyone as equal. To work hard in all your endeavors. I'm starting to understand the conspiracy theorists would have us in a world where charity and faith don't exist. Where selfishness reigns and everyone talks behind everyone's back. It even sounds like you don't respect privacy and that is fascist.

So here are the facts when it comes to this Biblical misinterpretation:
Most Biblical scholars based their translations off of St. Jerome.
The original Hebrew writings spoke of a Babylonian King, Helal, Son of Shahar, which means Day Star, Son of the Morning.
Lucifer is Latin for "light bringer".
In Roman Astrology Lucifer the was the star that preceded the rising Sun.
Scholars in ages after Jerome mistook this mistranslation and turned him from a disgraced king to the Ruler of Darkness, Satan.
No where else in the Bible is used the word "Lucifer".
Furthermore, Revelations 22:16 also makes some strange claims:
Quote:
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Now, I'm not saying Jesus is the Lucifer of the Bible, but I find it ironic that conspiracy theorists and religious zealots apply Isaiah 14:12 to Freemasons, but overlook Revelations 22:16. Now scholars on the other hand point out that "bright", "shining", and so forth describe the appearance of the king who usually wore very elaborate clothing. In application to Jesus Christ (which is also a Latin version of his true name) he is the Son of God and through him will we arrive in Heaven, so he would be the bright and morning star.

I think you're the one who spends hour after hour on this thread defending Freemasonry.
So, who is the overly defensive person?
I was meaning that you are constantly on attack. I asked a simple question and your jumped on me thinking I was insulting the site. There's a difference between "defensive" and "defending".

Did you think it was a conspiracy against you?
Like I said, I thought something may be wrong with MY internet browser.

But it could be an indicator that something was wrong so I thought I'd ask, but apparently asking questions is wrong.

I didn't jump on you and I didn't think you were insulting the site.
If you didn't think I insulted the site why did you post this?

Please forgive us.
We march to the beat of a different drummer.
Sounds pretty defensive to me.

Actually an alarm did go off. I have my email accounts on my BlackBerry so every time I get an email it goes to my phone and alerts me when new messages arrive. It just depends on what I'm doing if I respond immediately or not.

One of the most damning aspects of Freemasonry’s involvement in criminal activity is the significant effort by members to defend its activities against those who regard the group as a terror organization. Similar fraternal organizations such as Kiwanis are rarely, if ever, subject to the broad, widespread criticism Freemasonry attracts. New World Order Conspiracies - News

Freemasonry Watch is a unreliable source. The author of that site makes everything up. I do find it funny that CTs will go so far as to make Freemasons look mentally deranged to attack them. When our lies won't stop them get them committed.

Does anyone not get that Morals and Dogma has nothing to do with actual ritual of the Scottish Rite degrees? Its a supplement to them. His own personal thoughts.
Well this May I plan on joining the Scottish Rite, so first hand I'll experience this 'evil of Pike'.
