Once and for all, are Freemasons good or evil?

[RCA]

I've heard conspiracies about how Freemasons are really Illuminati. I've heard people say Freemasons are people trying to promote liberty like our Founders did. Should I be afraid of the Lodges I see on the side of the highway or should I not?

If you are horrified by the thought of children receiving free medical care for life-threatening conditions, then yes be afraid, be very afraid. And if the very idea of drunk old men wearing funny-looking hats throwing water balloons in hotel lobbies haunts your every waking moment, then you do indeed have good reason to fear the Freemasons.

Other than that, naaah.

Skeptical, yes. Afraid? I don't think so.

In the book "Rule by Secrecy", Jim Marrs proclaims that only the inner most circle of these secret societies knows the true purpose behind these such societies.

After all, what EXACTLY is the purpose of a secret society in the first place? If they want to be a charity, then be a charity, no?

They want to fill a deep inner gnostic desire to be part of an
'exclusive' something that they perceive is way bigger than what they will actually probably ever know.

Sounds like a religion!

There is a good read on the subject here,

WHAT CAN BE DONE?
To those who are quick to vilify anyone who does not agree with this appraisal, I would like to make an alternative appeal. Instead of focusing on document authenticity and the racial or ethnic identity of those in power, let us look at the practicality of what can be done to defend our freedom. Even if the world were in the grip of the Elders or the Masons or the Jesuits, what would be our course of action? Would it be a new wave of genocide, a return to the firing squads and gas ovens? Hasn't mankind seen enough of that kind of insanity?

There are many powerful groups in the world today dedicated to collectivism for the simple reason that collectivism allows them to exploit mankind, or a significant segment of it, for their own aggrandizement. It is hard to say which one of them is the greatest threat. In the final analysis, it makes little difference. If we oppose the groups themselves, we are less likely to succeed than if we oppose collectivism, the system they all need to flourish. We will not have to pull the weeds if we deny them water.

Once and for all? Yes! A "good" public shell masks, covers and fronts for an "evil" even more secret core.<IMHO>

I guess it depends on if you believe in Original Sin or not.

My grandpa was a Mason. I highly doubt he was part of an evil agenda.

But are there those at the very top that used the organization for their purposes? Absolutely possible. Most Democrats and Republicans aren't part of an evil conspiracy, only a select few know of and participate in a hidden agenda.

Same for my 92 year old long-time retired 32nd degree Freemason father-in-law plus all of my Freemason friends and acquaintances.

The Dems and Reps, by and large, are just the unwitting lackeys in implementing the agenda step by step.

Thanks!

You've got the entire internet at your fingertips. Hopefully, your research goes a little further than seeking opinions on a troll-filled message board.

Does the Masonic used term "hoodwink" have any meaning for you?

Yes, they're evil and they eat puppies. I should know, my dad was one and he ate my puppy.

It's crazy, I hear that Masons are racists and anti-semites, evil, worship Satan, etc. so why was the founder of the NAACP (W.E.B. DuBois) a Mason? Andrew Jackson, George Washington and others were also Masons. Why are some Jews Masons? Why do they take care of sick kids for free?

Accch.

They want to manipulate the government in secrecy.that is not a good thing.

Why mess up 200 yrs of success for their own agenda unless it is a power play
And they are "self-appointed" to guide this world into the future in the name of God.
I see no good in this way of doing things.If they had honorable intentions, there would be no need for secrets.

Think of Freemasonry the way you think of the Republican and Democratic parties. The average members are mostly good people.

 

[acptulsa]

The Illuminati--who the hell knows? The average Mason or Shriner--some are nicer than others, certainly.

Think I'll save my vitriol for the CFR, the Bilderbergers or whatever is left of the Tri-Lateral Commission, and Skull and Bones.
