#### Why Masons Rule Australia - Is This True Blue Culture Or Just Common Stupidity Of Australians ?

[Ben Jimmie]

Can anyone post any proof about the ancient masonic history ?

My search of Internet didn't produce any valid results.

As all masons are ignorant they should learn and acquire some knowledge as
they have none.

Freemasons claim that they are masons (stonebuilders).

I am still waiting to meet one who is able to build anything using stones.
Let me know just one name of living Freemason who was involved in building
anything and that is documented (churches or other significant building only
counts).

How many old churches or historic building are actually build by freemasons?
NONE !!!

There is no any masonic sign anywhere on any significant building anywhere
in the world !!!

They are cheat and liars.

They sat they accept members who believe in some kind of God because they
calculate it would be easier to convert someone who believe in something
which can not be seen. They exploit common trust and religious believes of
naive or stupid people to produce liars, conspirators and murderers and rule
the world through network of corrupted politicians, policemen, army
officers, lawyers and politicians. Members of those professions promise to
obey the law of the country but they do not as masonic rules prevent them of
being loyal citizens as they have to obey only orders from other freemasons.

Country which tolerate freemasons to practice their pagan rituals is not a
democratic country.

Religion which tolerate freemasons to practice their pagan rituals is not a
religion but a satanic cult as freemasons worship Lucifer.

If I say that I am a doctor or priest, I may be arrested.
All freemasons should be treated the same - please go to Police and request
arrest of liars.

Everyone knows that they are "invented" in 18th Century.
Masons even claim that they built pyramids, although it's hard to find Mason
capable of building a small home barbeque from few bricks.

They invented secrets because they know they are cheat.

It is hard to believe that in 21st Century some idiots believe in
freemasonism and this is tolerated in our modern society.

**** this is posted to help existing freemasons to save their soul. This is
your last chance to rebuke satanism and find real God.

Masonry Demit Letter

This is a sample letter of resignation from the Masonic lodge, taken
from our book, MASONRY BEYOND THE LIGHT.

"To the Master, Officers and Members of Lodge ______,

Dear Friends,

It is with regret that I submit my resignation from your Lodge and
from all Masonic bodies. I have taken this step in spite of the fact that I
value very deeply the friendships and associations I have developed within
Masonry over the years. However, One whom I love more than all of you has
said, "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and
he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." (Matthew
10:37)

Those who call themselves Christians and believe in the name of Jesus
are called to that kind of radical discipleship. If I am to be true to my
Lord who loved me and who gave Himself for me, the I must keep His
commandments. If I am called to love Him more than my own family, how much
more am I called to love Him more than friends and fraternal brothers?

Unfortunately, in spite of the fraternal love I bear you all, I find
that in following Jesus Christ, I must sever my ties with all forms of
Masonry. This is no reflection upon you, nor upon the many good things
Masonry does. It is simply the fact that Masonry refuses to honor Jesus
Christ as God Almighty come in the flesh to save us from our sins.

Our Lord said that "He that is not with me is against me, and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad." (Matthew 12:30)

Masonry refuses to confess Jesus before me, and Jesus has warned that
"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also
before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men,
him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew
10:32-33)

Anything which presents itself as a religious or moral institution and
yet does not confess Jesus as God is denying Jesus! I'm deeply sorry,
brothers, but I cannot be a part of such a thing.

Masonry establishes itself as a complement to ones church, which
sounds find. Masonry has prayers, rituals, and solemn ceremonies in which
the Bible is involved. The Lodge is not secular, but religious. But in my
study of the Bible, it seems clear that Masonry asks us, as Masons, to do
things contrary to Biblical teachings.

For example, Jesus commanded us to "teach all nations" (Matthew
28:19-20) and to preach the gospel to everyone (Mark 16:15), yet Masonic
etiquette forbids me, as a Christian, from sharing my Savior with my
non-Christian Lodge brothers. I must stand by politely and watch them go to
hell, "for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved." (Acts 4:12) Whom am I to obey, my Lord or my Lodge?

The very Bible which sits on the altar commands these things. It is
one of the "three great lights" of Masonry, and yet you ignore its teachings
for the sake of harmony.

Jesus also commands us to swear no oaths (Matthew 5:34-37) and His
sovereign command is echoed by James (5:12). Yet the taking of solemn oaths
is the very heart of Masonic ritual. My brothers, these things ought not to
be! Finally, the apostle Paul commands that believers in Jesus not be
"unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14)

I take my Masonic obligations very seriously, and for that very
reason, I realize that the cable-tow was a powerful yoke which bound me to
many Masons who are not Christians, however sincere they may be in their
devotions. I must take the commands of my God more seriously. To remain in
Masonry is to compromise my relationship with Jesus Who died for me.

I realize that whatever benefits Masonry has, they cannot possibly be
compared with the joys of full friendship with the Almighty Lord of the
universe Who died so that I might live - and who loves all Masons, as I do,
even though they allow Him no place in their ceremonies.

You, my brothers, must decide for yourselves what you will do with the
god of Masonry, but "as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
(Joshua 24:15)

God bless you as you seek His will in this important manner.

[signed] In Christian love,

[Your name]

10 Questions for a Mason who Thinks He is Christian

Secret Sins By William Schnoebelen


1. If Masonry is not a religion, why does it have all the trappings of
a religion?



Though Masons are told it is not a religion, that claim does not bear
close scrutiny. By any dictionary definition, Freemasonry has all the
distinctive qualities of a religion. It demands a belief in a Supreme Being
as a requirement for membership. It also has a chaplain, rituals of
initiation, prayers and funeral services and teaches a plan of salvation. It
also has an organized body of philosophical and ethical teachings. Thus,
Masonry is indeed a religion.



2. If it is a religion, which one is it?



First in concern, it is not the Christian religion. Masonic
authorities openly deny it is Christianity, (1) and this is further
evidenced by the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is accorded no special
worship in the Lodge. He is presented as just one of many great sages and no
Mason is allowed to present Jesus to fellow Lodge members as Almighty God in
the flesh (1Timothy 3:15, John 1:14) or to witness Jesus to unsaved fellow
Masons. Beyond that, Masonry is alternately depicted (2) as a kind of
universalistic religion "upon which all men can agree." Universalism is a
theological doctrine holding that eventually all people will be saved.



This categorically means it cannot be Christian, for Jesus taught that
no one could be saved except through Him (John 14:6). The other face of
Masonry, seen in the writings of its greatest teachers (Pike, Mackey, Hall,
etc.). These men taught is that it is a modern revival of "ancient mystery
religions" (the worship of Baal) and that its core philosophy is Kabbalism,
a system of post-exilic Jewish occultism.(3) Stripped of all the verbiage,
this means that the philosophical core and pedigree of modern Freemasonry is
basically akin to that of witchcraft. (Both are called "the Craft").



3. Can a professed Christian be a part of a non-Christian religion?



Hopefully, this answer is self-evident. Jesus Himself warned that no
one can serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). Yet the Christian Mason is
attempting to serve his true Master, Jesus; and also the "Worshipful Master"
of the Lodge (Matthew 23:10). The Bible's message is clear. God does not
want his people trying to worship two different gods at the same time
(Exodus 20:3, 1 Kings 18:22). You cannot mingle Masonry and Christianity,
anymore than you could be a Christian Muslim or a Christian Hindu. (4) How
can you, as a follower of Jesus, be part of an institution that demands that
you break God's commandments?



Doubtless this question may shock most Masons. However, in several
obvious places, Masons are required to break the commandments of Jesus or
His Father. For example, Masons are required to swear blood oaths on the
Bible in the name of God, yet Jesus commanded His disciples never to swear
oaths (Matthew 5:34-37) and this command was repeated by James (James 5:12).
Should the Mason claim that the oaths are only "in fun" and not to be taken
seriously, then he has taken the name of the Lord in vain, another
commandment broken (Exodus 20:7). If he says the oaths are serious, then he
has violated the commandment which forbids murder by consenting with an oath
to his own murder (Exodus 20:13). Other commandments broken will be
mentioned below.



5. How can you ignore 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 by being "bound" to
countless nonbelievers and occultists who are Masons?



Though not widely known, some of the premiere witches and occultists
of this century were prominent Freemasons-both here and in England.(4) Their
names would include Aleister Crowley, Gerald Gardner and Alex Sanders.
Additionally, there are thousands of Masons of various other non-Christian
faiths (Judaism, Islam, etc.). Contrary to the command of 2 Corinthians 6
forbidding us to be "unequally yoked" to unbelievers, the Mason is bound by
a spiritual "tie" (5) to all other Masons, Christian or not. This is
mentioned in the first degree work in the context of removing the cabletow
from about the Initiate's neck. This bond is sealed with an oath in the name
of God. This is a clear violation of this commandment.



6. How can you be a part of an institution that makes you deny Jesus
within the First Degree?



The Bible teaches that when a person genuinely becomes Born Again, the
Lord Jesus comes in and takes residence within us. Bear this precious truth
in mind as you are reminded of this: at the door of the Lodge as an Entered
Apprentice candidate, the initiate is made to knock three times on the door
and then say in response to the challenge from within:



"Mr.______, who has long been in darkness now seeks to be brought to
light and receive a part in the rights and benefits of this worshipful
Lodge, erected to God and dedicated to the Holy Saints John as all brothers
and fellows have done before him." (6)



How can a genuine Christian agree that he has "long been in darkness"
when he has the Light of the World within him? How can he think that Masonry
can add anything to the light of Christ in whom are "hid all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3) and in whom "all fullness dwells"
(Colossians 1:19)? Is this not denying Christ?



7. How can you be a part of an institution that does not acknowledge
Jesus as God and yet exalts a minor Bible character to be "the greatest
Mason, if not the greatest man, who ever lived"?



Freemasonry, as a matter of official policy, does not acknowledge the
unique claims of Jesus.(7) This would destroy their universalistic religion
which claims that all religionists are welcome at the altar of Masonry.
However, the Bible makes clear that Jesus' name is above every other name
(Philippians 2:9, Ephesians 1:21) and that without confessing Him as Lord no
one can be saved (John 14:6, Romans 10:9-13). Jesus Himself states that all
other religious leaders who came before him (Buddha, Zoroaster, etc.) were
"thieves and robbers." (John 10:8)



The Bible points to Jesus Christ! It is supposed to be one of the
"three great lights" of Masonry and the "rule and guide of our [the Masons']
faith" Yet this same Bible, which so lifts up the name of Jesus, barely
mentions the central figure of Masonic myth, Hiram Abiff. This obscure
craftsman, who is barely mentioned in the context of the building of Solomon's
temple, is treated like a god-figure in Masonry. He is lionized above all
other men in the Old Testament and even made to be as great-or greater-than
Jesus. His murder by three ruffians before he could finish the work on the
temple is the center of the Masonic "mystery," and yet from the Bible's
perspective, it is a lie. The Bible clearly states that Hiram "made an end
of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord."
(1 Kings 7:40)



8. How can you be a part of an institution that will not acknowledge
that Jesus rose from the dead and which conducts blasphemous parodies of the
Lord's Table?



Albert Pike, Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite, wrote that Jesus'
bodily remains have now been reduced to dust motes in the earth that we eat
as they have been absorbed into the earth through the centuries. (8) The
Scottish rite ritual, the "Feast of the Paschal Lamb" also refuses to
acknowledge that Jesus rose from the dead. (9)



In the York Rite, a blasphemous parody of the Lord's Supper is
conducted as part of the Knight Templar degree in which the candidate is
made to stand before a sinister triangular table draped in black velvet and
illuminated by candles. In the center is a Bible atop which rests a human
skull. From this skull, the candidate takes "communion," swearing most
solemnly that if he ever breaks his oath, all his own sins and the sins of
the man from whose skull he is drinking will come back on his own head. (10)
Talk about crucifying the Son of God afresh and bringing Him to an open
shame (Hebrews 10:28-29)!



9. How can you be a part of an institution whose teachers proclaim
that it is descended from a fertility cult and that the god of Freemasonry
is the male reproductive organ?


Though this would shock most Masons, the fact is that the greatest
teachers of Masonry make it clear that the central symbol of deity in the
Lodge is the phallus or penis. (11) This is why so many Masonic memorials
(tombstones or the Washington monument) are, in fact, phallic symbols. This
is why the male genitals are "veiled" by the Masonic apron, just like a veil
covered the Holy of Holies in Solomon's temple. This is what the Letter G
stands for in Masonry; not for God or "Geometry" as the Fellowcraft is told
in the second degree lecture, but rather for the power of "Generativity" or
reproduction.



10. How many things have to be sinful about an institution before you,
as a Christian, need to separate yourself completely from it?



My brothers, this is but a brief list of things that most Masons
either know, or could readily find out. It is just that most Masons have
never bothered to put these things together because they were told that
Masonry was noble. Now you know these things, and how contrary they are to
the Bible. The answer to this question ought to be: only one! If even one of
these questions raises a valid secret sin within the Lodge, then that should
be reason enough to quit. This is just a men's club! Is it worth destroying
your testimony and your power as a Christian man? You need to get on your
knees right now and ask the Lord to forgive you for your involvement in the
Lodge and renounce it forever as a sin. Then you need to write a letter
requesting a demit from the Lodge. If you write to us, we can even provide
you with a sample letter. You must not delay. Remember Paul's words: "What
fellowship hath light with darkness?"

The rest of the irrational nonsense has been severely snipped.

The Internet has brought humanity the benefit of greater communication
opportunity, but it has also been used by the ignorant majority to
promulgate lies and unsubstantiated drivel as well as all manner of insane
prejudice, hate, spurious reasoning and unrivalled irrationality. It has,
most unfortunately, become a hive of unparallelled stupidity instead of a
place of pure reason and sanity. Intelligence is hardly to be seen.

The questions you ask and the statements you make, considering the manner
in which they are presented, indicate your proclivity for stupidity and
irrationality, thereby such are not deserving of an insightful response
and shall remain unanswered by those of whom truly know.

snipped bigotted bullshit

I am not a Freemason, but know many and know much of
what they believe and teach. The bigotted bullshit that
you spewed forth is a rehash of the same bullshit the
Roman Catholic church has been spreading about them
for hundreds of years. The RCs started on them ages
ago becaue the Freemasons believe in the gnostic view
of God in that each person can have a a direct involvement
with God. For about 1,700 years it has been the Roman
Catholic church's point of view that individuals had no
direct contact with God except through the church and
it hierachy and that the higher the church rank the more
contact you had. This is directly opposite that of the
gnostic one to one belief and thus the RC saw the
Freemasons as heretics and sought to discredit and
destroy them with lies; an action they have followed
since the creation of Freemasonry.

Wake up and learn something for yourself instead of
just parotting the bullshit you have been blindly fed
by others.

BTW want to check if your church feeds you bullshit
ask them for direct scriptual evidence where Jesus
or God promoted celibacy or said that sex between
unmarried people was wrong, excepting very high
promiscuity known as whoredom or prostitution.

Then if you are a Christian ask them to tell you how
many commandments you must follow and the scriptures
that detail them.

Oh forgot to mention that in the medieval times
many churches and govt building were built by
freemasons in the normal course of their employment
but they never placed their symbols etc on other
people's property as it was against their rules.
Not all Freemasons had to be masons and many
were not, and that is still the case today.

Not all Freemasons had to be masons and many

Masonry Demit Letter

This is a sample letter of resignation from the Masonic lodge, taken
from our book, MASONRY BEYOND THE LIGHT.

"To the Master, Officers and Members of Lodge ______,

Dear Friends,

It is with regret that I submit my resignation from your Lodge and
from all Masonic bodies. I have taken this step in spite of the fact that I
value very deeply the friendships and associations I have developed within
Masonry over the years. However, One whom I love more than all of you has
said, "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and
he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." (Matthew
10:37)

Those who call themselves Christians and believe in the name of Jesus
are called to that kind of radical discipleship. If I am to be true to my
Lord who loved me and who gave Himself for me, the I must keep His
commandments. If I am called to love Him more than my own family, how much
more am I called to love Him more than friends and fraternal brothers?

Unfortunately, in spite of the fraternal love I bear you all, I find
that in following Jesus Christ, I must sever my ties with all forms of
Masonry. This is no reflection upon you, nor upon the many good things
Masonry does. It is simply the fact that Masonry refuses to honor Jesus
Christ as God Almighty come in the flesh to save us from our sins.

Our Lord said that "He that is not with me is against me, and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad." (Matthew 12:30)

Masonry refuses to confess Jesus before me, and Jesus has warned that
"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also
before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men,
him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew
10:32-33)

Anything which presents itself as a religious or moral institution and
yet does not confess Jesus as God is denying Jesus! I'm deeply sorry,
brothers, but I cannot be a part of such a thing.

Masonry establishes itself as a complement to ones church, which
sounds find. Masonry has prayers, rituals, and solemn ceremonies in which
the Bible is involved. The Lodge is not secular, but religious. But in my
study of the Bible, it seems clear that Masonry asks us, as Masons, to do
things contrary to Biblical teachings.

For example, Jesus commanded us to "teach all nations" (Matthew
28:19-20) and to preach the gospel to everyone (Mark 16:15), yet Masonic
etiquette forbids me, as a Christian, from sharing my Savior with my
non-Christian Lodge brothers. I must stand by politely and watch them go to
hell, "for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved." (Acts 4:12) Whom am I to obey, my Lord or my Lodge?

The very Bible which sits on the altar commands these things. It is
one of the "three great lights" of Masonry, and yet you ignore its teachings
for the sake of harmony.

Jesus also commands us to swear no oaths (Matthew 5:34-37) and His
sovereign command is echoed by James (5:12). Yet the taking of solemn oaths
is the very heart of Masonic ritual. My brothers, these things ought not to
be! Finally, the apostle Paul commands that believers in Jesus not be
"unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14)

I take my Masonic obligations very seriously, and for that very
reason, I realize that the cable-tow was a powerful yoke which bound me to
many Masons who are not Christians, however sincere they may be in their
devotions. I must take the commands of my God more seriously. To remain in
Masonry is to compromise my relationship with Jesus Who died for me.

I realize that whatever benefits Masonry has, they cannot possibly be
compared with the joys of full friendship with the Almighty Lord of the
universe Who died so that I might live - and who loves all Masons, as I do,
even though they allow Him no place in their ceremonies.

You, my brothers, must decide for yourselves what you will do with the
god of Masonry, but "as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
(Joshua 24:15)

God bless you as you seek His will in this important manner.

As all masons are ignorant they should learn and acquire some knowledge as
they have none.

snipped bigotted bullshit
I am not a Freemason, but know many and know much of
what they believe and teach. The bigotted bullshit that
you spewed forth is a rehash of the same bullshit the
Roman Catholic church has been spreading about them
for hundreds of years. The RCs started on them ages
ago becaue the Freemasons believe in the gnostic view
of God in that each person can have a a direct involvement
with God. For about 1,700 years it has been the Roman
Catholic church's point of view that individuals had no
direct contact with God except through the church and
it hierachy and that the higher the church rank the more
contact you had. This is directly opposite that of the
gnostic one to one belief and thus the RC saw the
Freemasons as heretics and sought to discredit and
destroy them with lies; an action they have followed
since the creation of Freemasonry.
Wake up and learn something for yourself instead of
just parotting the bullshit you have been blindly fed
by others.
BTW want to check if your church feeds you bullshit
ask them for direct scriptual evidence where Jesus
or God promoted celibacy or said that sex between
unmarried people was wrong, excepting very high
promiscuity known as whoredom or prostitution.
Then if you are a Christian ask them to tell you how
many commandments you must follow and the scriptures
that detail them.

First point being a member of the Freemasons would not be a
conflict of interest to their work as they do not overlap any more
than being a member of any other non political organisation.


Second point I am not and never have been a member of the
Freemasons as I would not pass their membership scrutiny due
to certain misconducts in my younger days, thus I have no need
to resign from an organisation I never joined.


If you wish to attack a religious organisation that has seriously
distorted the word and teachings of God and caused major
political problems around the world you can have a go at the
Roman Catholic Church; over the centuries it has started
dozens of wars and caused the torture of thousands of people
and the theft of billions in treasures and lands. Historically it has
been involved in more war and terrorism than the Islamic church.
Today The Roman Catholics have quietened down while the Islamic
church has not.

and the theft of billions in treasures and lands. Historically it has
been involved in more war and terrorism than the Islamic church.
Today The Roman Catholics have quietened down while the Islamic
church has not.

While some members of the Catholic Church were involved in some wars,
plunder and other atrocities many Centuries ago, all recent wars from the
20th Century onward, were started by freemasons.

The First World War was started by Serbian Masons - all Serbian Royal family
members were involved in masonry.

The Second World War was started by Hitler who was a member of Masonic cult
Thule Society.

http://www.crystalinks.com/thule.html

The Thule-Gesellschaft (Thule Society) was founded August 17, 1918, by
Rudolf von Sebottendorff. He had been schooled in occultism, Islamic
mysticism, alchemy, Rosicrucianism and much else, in Turkey, where he had
also been initiated into Freemasonry.


http://www.threeworldwars.com/world-war-2/adolf-hitler.htm

It is possible that Hitler discovered his Jewish background and his relation
to the Rothschild's, and aware of their enormous power to make or break
European governments, re-established contact with the family. This would
partially explain the enormous support he received from the international
banking fraternity, closely entwined with the Rothschild family, as he rose
to power.
There is a great deal of confusion in studying Hitler's family tree.
Adolph's father, Alois Hitler, was the illegitimate son of Maria Anna
Schicklgruber. It was generally supposed that the father of Alois Hitler was
Johann Georg Hiedler.... Alois, however, was not legitimized, and he bore
his mother's name until he was forty years of age when he changed it to
Hitler. There are some people who seriously doubt that Johann Georg Hiedler
was the father of Alois. Thyssen and Koehler, for example, claim that
Chancellor Dolfuss (the Chancellor of Austria) had ordered the Austrian
police to conduct a thorough investigation into the Hitler family. As a
result of this investigation a secret document was prepared that proved
Maria Anna Shicklgruber was living in Vienna at the time she conceived.

At that time she was employed as a servant in the home of Baron
Rothschild. As soon as the family discovered her pregnancy she was sent back
to her home in Spital where Alois was bom.5


The planning of the Second World War started when Adolf Hitler joined a
secret society called the Thule Society in 1919. It was in this group that
he found the perverted beliefs that were later to lead him in his control of
the German government.
In the Thule Society: "... the sun played a prime role... as a sacred symbol
of the Aryans, in contrast to... the moon, revered by the Semitic peoples.
The Fuhrer saw in the Jewish people, with their black hair and swarthy
complexions, the dark side of the human species, whilst the blond and
blue-eyed Aryans constituted the light side of humanity. ... Hitler
undertook to extirpate from the material world its impure elements."1

In addition to sun (or light) worship, the Thule Society also practiced
Satan worship: "The inner core within the Thule Society were all Satanists
who practiced Black Magic."2
The Society was not a working-man's group as it included amongst its
members: "judges, police-chiefs, barristers, lawyers, university professors
and lecturers, aristocratic families, leading industrialists, surgeons,
physicians, scientists, as well as a host of rich and influential
bourgeois.... "3

The membership of the Thule Society also became the foundation of the Nazi
Party: "... the Committee and the forty original members of the New German
Workers' Party were all drawn from the most powerful occult society in
Germany-the Thule Society."4

One of the founders of both groups, the Nazi Party and the Thule Society,
was Dietrich Eckart: "a dedicated Satanist, the supreme adept of the arts
and rituals of Black Magic and the central figure in a powerful and
wide-spread circle of occultists-the Thule Group. (He was] one of the seven
founder members of the Nazi Party...."

Eckart claimed to be the initiator of Hitler into the secrets of Satan
worship. He is quoted as saying on his deathbed: "Follow Hitler. He will
dance, but it is I who have called the tune! I have initiated him into the
'Secret Doctrine;' opened his centres in vision and given him the means to
communicate with the Powers. Do not mourn for me: I shall have influenced
history more than any German."

It is worth to also mention Hitler's connection with Masons in the USA like
Herst and Kennedy:

http://www.ytedk.com/hitler.htm

- As ambassador to England, Joe Kennedy would later make clear that he
thought the Jews had "brought on themselves" whatever Hitler did to them.
During a 1938 meeting at the German embassy in London, Kennedy assured the
German ambassador that America only wanted friendly relations with Hitler.
Joe said that Hitler's government had done "great things" for the country,
and that the Germans were "satisfied" and enjoyed "good living conditions."
Joe told the ambassador that a recent report which said the limited food in
Germany was being reserved for the army could not be true. After all, Joe
said, the professor who had made the report "was a Jew."
- Kennedy urged his friend William Randolph Hearst to help Hitler improve
his image in the United states. Hearst agreed, and under his own byline he
told his readers that Hitler had "restored character and courage. Hitler
gave hope and confidence. He established order and unity of purpose."

Masonry Demit Letter
This is a sample letter of resignation from the Masonic lodge, taken
from our book, MASONRY BEYOND THE LIGHT.
"To the Master, Officers and Members of Lodge ______,
Dear Friends,
It is with regret that I submit my resignation from your Lodge and
from all Masonic bodies. I have taken this step in spite of the fact that I
value very deeply the friendships and associations I have developed within

Christ as God Almighty come in the flesh to save us from our sins.
Our Lord said that "He that is not with me is against me, and he that

Masonry refuses to confess Jesus before me, and Jesus has warned that
"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also

him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew

Anything which presents itself as a religious or moral institution and
yet does not confess Jesus as God is denying Jesus! I'm deeply sorry,
brothers, but I cannot be a part of such a thing.
Masonry establishes itself as a complement to ones church, which
sounds find. Masonry has prayers, rituals, and solemn ceremonies in which
the Bible is involved. The Lodge is not secular, but religious. But in my
study of the Bible, it seems clear that Masonry asks us, as Masons, to do
things contrary to Biblical teachings.
For example, Jesus commanded us to "teach all nations" (Matthew
28:19-20) and to preach the gospel to everyone (Mark 16:15), yet Masonic
etiquette forbids me, as a Christian, from sharing my Savior with my
non-Christian Lodge brothers. I must stand by politely and watch them go to
hell, "for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved." (Acts 4:12) Whom am I to obey, my Lord or my Lodge?
The very Bible which sits on the altar commands these things. It is
one of the "three great lights" of Masonry, and yet you ignore its teachings
for the sake of harmony.
Jesus also commands us to swear no oaths (Matthew 5:34-37) and His

is the very heart of Masonic ritual. My brothers, these things ought not to
be! Finally, the apostle Paul commands that believers in Jesus not be
"unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14)
I take my Masonic obligations very seriously, and for that very
reason, I realize that the cable-tow was a powerful yoke which bound me to
many Masons who are not Christians, however sincere they may be in their
devotions. I must take the commands of my God more seriously. To remain in
Masonry is to compromise my relationship with Jesus Who died for me.
I realize that whatever benefits Masonry has, they cannot possibly be
compared with the joys of full friendship with the Almighty Lord of the
universe Who died so that I might live - and who loves all Masons, as I do,
even though they allow Him no place in their ceremonies.
You, my brothers, must decide for yourselves what you will do with the
god of Masonry, but "as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

Aren't Masons part of the Australian hidden history that formed our biasses?

Fair enough, but I didn't think it was a moderated group.

Why, however, is the topic not relevant to the group?

It sounds quite relevant to me, and the Subject refers specifically to
True Blue Culture, even contrasting it with Stupidity of Australians.

Is it that True Blue Culture is controlled by Freemasonry?

Or is it that True Blue Culture is ignorant of Freemasonry?

Or is it that True Blue Culture is afraid of Freemasonry?

Or maybe even that True Blue Culture would be split asunder by discussion
of the topic?

Freemasonry is as preservationist and exclusive and self-interest serving
as the essence of True-Blue-ism (and/or the underbelly of things which that
label T-B accommodates). I'm as True and as Blue as many people, but
it sounds like aus.culture.true-blue is actually about something else.

You see Neddeth, my question is about why the topic got snipped. I
am now more interested than ever.

There's no such thing, lunatic. Multiculturalism pays lip service to

We haven't. Multiculturalism wasn't invented until the
second half of the twentieth century.

Moreover, Australia didn't exist as a nation until the beginning
of the twentieth century, and didn't exist as an ideal until
the nineteenth.

The continent that now bears the name "Australia", however,
has been multicultured for millennia.

Wrong again, liar. I quoted its use in fiction. When you

that turned out to insufficient to stop your insane ranting,
I pointed to further references: in academia, in journalism,
and even in government pamphlets. Your campaign against
precise expression of concepts might seem in your pointy
little head to be a success, but its not working on me.

"Multicultured" is part of the language, and it has meanings
associated *only* with multiplicity of cultures. "Multiculral"
has meanings associated with your filthy Multikultur as well
as with multiplicity of cultures, and is therefore ambiguous.

Which, of course, is the reason you're so frantic to persuade
people against using "multicultured". Precision would stop your
propaganda in its tracks.

There is Co-Freemasonry where males and females join, but I don't know whether they stab the females in the left tit or the right tit (or not at all).

There is a branch of Co-Freemasonry very close to Mortuary station, and the Hellfire Club (Chippendale, Sydney). I've never seen anyone lurking there, clothed, or without daks, or standing or one leg, or anything else unusual (but it is a weird neighbourhood).

I recall a late night drinking conversation with the uncle of a friend that Anglican regalia was inspired by the Masonic regalia, partly to incite the Catholics.

There was also an "Order of Knights" for younger males in some of the protestant denominations. Anyone know if it's still about?

10 Questions for a Mason who Thinks He is Christian

Secret Sins By William Schnoebelen


1. If Masonry is not a religion, why does it have all the trappings of
a religion?



Though Masons are told it is not a religion, that claim does not bear
close scrutiny. By any dictionary definition, Freemasonry has all the
distinctive qualities of a religion. It demands a belief in a Supreme Being
as a requirement for membership. It also has a chaplain, rituals of
initiation, prayers and funeral services and teaches a plan of salvation. It
also has an organized body of philosophical and ethical teachings. Thus,
Masonry is indeed a religion.



2. If it is a religion, which one is it?



First in concern, it is not the Christian religion. Masonic
authorities openly deny it is Christianity, (1) and this is further
evidenced by the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is accorded no special
worship in the Lodge. He is presented as just one of many great sages and no
Mason is allowed to present Jesus to fellow Lodge members as Almighty God in
the flesh (1Timothy 3:15, John 1:14) or to witness Jesus to unsaved fellow
Masons. Beyond that, Masonry is alternately depicted (2) as a kind of
universalistic religion "upon which all men can agree." Universalism is a
theological doctrine holding that eventually all people will be saved.



This categorically means it cannot be Christian, for Jesus taught that
no one could be saved except through Him (John 14:6). The other face of
Masonry, seen in the writings of its greatest teachers (Pike, Mackey, Hall,
etc.). These men taught is that it is a modern revival of "ancient mystery
religions" (the worship of Baal) and that its core philosophy is Kabbalism,
a system of post-exilic Jewish occultism.(3) Stripped of all the verbiage,
this means that the philosophical core and pedigree of modern Freemasonry is
basically akin to that of witchcraft. (Both are called "the Craft").



3. Can a professed Christian be a part of a non-Christian religion?



Hopefully, this answer is self-evident. Jesus Himself warned that no
one can serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). Yet the Christian Mason is
attempting to serve his true Master, Jesus; and also the "Worshipful Master"
of the Lodge (Matthew 23:10). The Bible's message is clear. God does not
want his people trying to worship two different gods at the same time
(Exodus 20:3, 1 Kings 18:22). You cannot mingle Masonry and Christianity,
anymore than you could be a Christian Muslim or a Christian Hindu. (4) How
can you, as a follower of Jesus, be part of an institution that demands that
you break God's commandments?



Doubtless this question may shock most Masons. However, in several
obvious places, Masons are required to break the commandments of Jesus or
His Father. For example, Masons are required to swear blood oaths on the
Bible in the name of God, yet Jesus commanded His disciples never to swear
oaths (Matthew 5:34-37) and this command was repeated by James (James 5:12).
Should the Mason claim that the oaths are only "in fun" and not to be taken
seriously, then he has taken the name of the Lord in vain, another
commandment broken (Exodus 20:7). If he says the oaths are serious, then he
has violated the commandment which forbids murder by consenting with an oath
to his own murder (Exodus 20:13). Other commandments broken will be
mentioned below.



5. How can you ignore 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 by being "bound" to
countless nonbelievers and occultists who are Masons?



Though not widely known, some of the premiere witches and occultists
of this century were prominent Freemasons-both here and in England.(4) Their
names would include Aleister Crowley, Gerald Gardner and Alex Sanders.
Additionally, there are thousands of Masons of various other non-Christian
faiths (Judaism, Islam, etc.). Contrary to the command of 2 Corinthians 6
forbidding us to be "unequally yoked" to unbelievers, the Mason is bound by
a spiritual "tie" (5) to all other Masons, Christian or not. This is
mentioned in the first degree work in the context of removing the cabletow
from about the Initiate's neck. This bond is sealed with an oath in the name
of God. This is a clear violation of this commandment.



6. How can you be a part of an institution that makes you deny Jesus
within the First Degree?



The Bible teaches that when a person genuinely becomes Born Again, the
Lord Jesus comes in and takes residence within us. Bear this precious truth
in mind as you are reminded of this: at the door of the Lodge as an Entered
Apprentice candidate, the initiate is made to knock three times on the door
and then say in response to the challenge from within:



"Mr.______, who has long been in darkness now seeks to be brought to
light and receive a part in the rights and benefits of this worshipful
Lodge, erected to God and dedicated to the Holy Saints John as all brothers
and fellows have done before him." (6)



How can a genuine Christian agree that he has "long been in darkness"
when he has the Light of the World within him? How can he think that Masonry
can add anything to the light of Christ in whom are "hid all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3) and in whom "all fullness dwells"
(Colossians 1:19)? Is this not denying Christ?



7. How can you be a part of an institution that does not acknowledge
Jesus as God and yet exalts a minor Bible character to be "the greatest
Mason, if not the greatest man, who ever lived"?



Freemasonry, as a matter of official policy, does not acknowledge the
unique claims of Jesus.(7) This would destroy their universalistic religion
which claims that all religionists are welcome at the altar of Masonry.
However, the Bible makes clear that Jesus' name is above every other name
(Philippians 2:9, Ephesians 1:21) and that without confessing Him as Lord no
one can be saved (John 14:6, Romans 10:9-13). Jesus Himself states that all
other religious leaders who came before him (Buddha, Zoroaster, etc.) were
"thieves and robbers." (John 10:8)



The Bible points to Jesus Christ! It is supposed to be one of the
"three great lights" of Masonry and the "rule and guide of our [the Masons']
faith" Yet this same Bible, which so lifts up the name of Jesus, barely
mentions the central figure of Masonic myth, Hiram Abiff. This obscure
craftsman, who is barely mentioned in the context of the building of
Solomon's
temple, is treated like a god-figure in Masonry. He is lionized above all
other men in the Old Testament and even made to be as great-or greater-than
Jesus. His murder by three ruffians before he could finish the work on the
temple is the center of the Masonic "mystery," and yet from the Bible's
perspective, it is a lie. The Bible clearly states that Hiram "made an end
of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord."
(1 Kings 7:40)



8. How can you be a part of an institution that will not acknowledge
that Jesus rose from the dead and which conducts blasphemous parodies of the
Lord's Table?



Albert Pike, Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite, wrote that Jesus'
bodily remains have now been reduced to dust motes in the earth that we eat
as they have been absorbed into the earth through the centuries. (8) The
Scottish rite ritual, the "Feast of the Paschal Lamb" also refuses to
acknowledge that Jesus rose from the dead. (9)



In the York Rite, a blasphemous parody of the Lord's Supper is
conducted as part of the Knight Templar degree in which the candidate is
made to stand before a sinister triangular table draped in black velvet and
illuminated by candles. In the center is a Bible atop which rests a human
skull. From this skull, the candidate takes "communion," swearing most
solemnly that if he ever breaks his oath, all his own sins and the sins of
the man from whose skull he is drinking will come back on his own head. (10)
Talk about crucifying the Son of God afresh and bringing Him to an open
shame (Hebrews 10:28-29)!



9. How can you be a part of an institution whose teachers proclaim
that it is descended from a fertility cult and that the god of Freemasonry
is the male reproductive organ?


Though this would shock most Masons, the fact is that the greatest
teachers of Masonry make it clear that the central symbol of deity in the
Lodge is the phallus or penis. (11) This is why so many Masonic memorials
(tombstones or the Washington monument) are, in fact, phallic symbols. This
is why the male genitals are "veiled" by the Masonic apron, just like a veil
covered the Holy of Holies in Solomon's temple. This is what the Letter G
stands for in Masonry; not for God or "Geometry" as the Fellowcraft is told
in the second degree lecture, but rather for the power of "Generativity" or
reproduction.



10. How many things have to be sinful about an institution before you,
as a Christian, need to separate yourself completely from it?



My brothers, this is but a brief list of things that most Masons
either know, or could readily find out. It is just that most Masons have
never bothered to put these things together because they were told that
Masonry was noble. Now you know these things, and how contrary they are to
the Bible. The answer to this question ought to be: only one! If even one of
these questions raises a valid secret sin within the Lodge, then that should
be reason enough to quit. This is just a men's club! Is it worth destroying
your testimony and your power as a Christian man? You need to get on your
knees right now and ask the Lord to forgive you for your involvement in the
Lodge and renounce it forever as a sin. Then you need to write a letter
requesting a demit from the Lodge. If you write to us, we can even provide
you with a sample letter. You must not delay. Remember Paul's words: "What
fellowship hath light with darkness?"

"!?" as they say in chess.

Christianity is what Christians believe.

Being a Christian is determined by professing a specific _faith_ (ie, belief
without proof in the existence of Jesus Christ as the son of a monotheistic
diety - mysteriously identified as JVH of the Old Testament).

Related to that (almost by accident, but it is the accident that propagates the
message) is the history and structure of the church, the influence of dogma,
psychological vulnerability in the face of "death anxiety", "religious experience"
(a mental event well noted), various kinds of accession to the "truth" of the
messages in the bible, and even indoctrination of children and alienated adults.

Whether the _faith_ is genuine, is unknowable.

What is the real Christianity? The genuine article? I trust that each person should
make up their own minds. One thing is clear though: there is an awful lot of
unreal beliefs and behaviours out there that are decidedly unreal Christianity.

Christianity is what Christians believe.

Such is the conception applied to it by certain members of the human
species. Such, though, is a limited and distorted view of Christianity.
Dogmatic Christianity is not true Christianity anymore than dogmatic
science is real science. They may call themselves Christians, but their
conception thereof is found wanting. The conception is shallow, almost
lifeless and doesn't resemble the majesty and grandeur of the substantial.
The appeal to human concepts is the mark of the ignorant.

To know the real from the false is the mark of the wise. Few there are in
the modern world who are truly wise. Many there are, on the other hand,
who are intellectualists or have more or less intellectual leanings and
who erroneously equate intellectualism with that true knowledge of which
is derived from a state of real knowingness. These are the believers, not
the knowers.

The rest of the appeal to the vanity of human concepts and interpretations
is severely snipped.

The superficial way to tell if someone is a Christian is that they say they are.
You cannot challenge that. They said it. They may be faking it. They may
be deluded in their belief about their faith. But they can claim it and they
can "swear by God" it, and they can act out the trappings (in the sense of
Church and communion and confession). It's not like saying "this is my

Speaking of dogmatism. Cyber Trekker should take a course of self study.

Those who know me along with the perceptive who have never personally met
me would realise that I am not in any shape or form dogmatic. Conversely,
the pseudo-intellectualist would charge me with being dogmatic, irrational
and unrealistic - especially those of whom retaliate after being
contradicted and maybe admonished. I am, therefore, unmoved by this false
allegation.

They may be deluded in their belief about their faith.

The faith of which Jesus spoke is not the blind faith outlived by the
ignorant and the self-deceived, rather is it that active and intelligent
faith that is derived from a knowingness of which originates from living
and experiencing that previously mentioned injunction to "Know Thy Self".
To know the Real from the unreal, the True from the false is to know that
Truth is not subservient to human concepts. The literal interpreters of
the sacred scriptures do not know it, even as those of whom adhere to
dogmatic science don't know what real science is. Human interpretations
and definitions are often way off the mark and unbelievably narrow-minded.
As Heraclitus wisely said, "Human opinions are toys for children."

The politics of religion is the same as the politics of politics itself and
of the politics of science. The similitude between them is indicative of
the human propensity to hold narrow viewpoints and to dogmatise to the nth
degree. The anti-Masons act from ignorance, from delusion, from arrogance
and from an unquestioning loyalty to literal interpretations of sacred
scripture as it has come down to the humanity of the present era through
the agency of human minds and hands in its interpretation and
re-interpretation countless times. The bigoted cannot be called the true
followers of Jesus.

Speaking of dogmatism. Cyber Trekker should take a course of self study.

Those who know me along with the perceptive who have never personally met
me would realise that I am not in any shape or form dogmatic. Conversely,
the pseudo-intellectualist would charge me with being dogmatic, irrational
and unrealistic - especially those of whom retaliate after being
contradicted and maybe admonished. I am, therefore, unmoved by this false
allegation.

That may be so, but I have nothing to go on. Your postings certainly do not
inspire my confidence in any opinion other than a hardened and dogmatic
shell, insinuating special knowledge and wisdom, but acting like a loud drunk
in a bar where everyone else is asleep.

The Delphic Oracle(s) sanctuary was inscribed in Greek - "gnothi se afton" -
which roughly translates "to know" "you" "yourself". More specifically, it
is not a commandment, but more of an aspiration for those at Delphi.

The "Know Thyself" interpretation is an "outsider" interpretation. It
basically meant, that "you can tell when you know something" (ie, don't
rely on authorities when they may be opinionated). It also implied that
hard work was involved.

ANYONE can know, but they have to suffer to find out. They have
to be open. They have to be willing to learn.

I also agree that the dogmatic and the "Churchtian" paths are seriously flawed.

You, unfortunately, are uninspired. Why find fault in me when the fault
lies within you? How can such a one find inspiration when they are lacking
it themselves? The hardened and dogmatic shell describes you well, just as
it describes so well the lack of inspiration of academia. The mirror in
which you look displays your own reflection, not mine. I stand in
heart-felt humility in front of those far greater than you would ever know
and I remain steadfast in their perceptive gaze without so much as
flinching. I make no pretentious claims. It is you finding fault where
there is none.

Not entirely true. I know both the Greek and the Latin form of the
injunction, for injunction it is. The depth of the true and high Greek
philosophy has rarely been penetrated by the superficial minds of the
largely ignorant modern intellectualist and Occidental student of whom
revel in their pretentiousness and their shallow theories.

To "Know Thyself", as you arrange it, is a poetical representation of which
adheres to the exactness of "yourself" when correctly interpreted and
understood. It is the same in the insightful Indian philosophy. The Self
is not the personality, it is beyond the personality. This is why I
especially broke it up into its components of Know+Thy+Self, as such
conveys the Truth of what the ancient Greek initiated philosophers meant.

The outsider interpretation is that of general academia and religionist,
the materialist and the varied isms of mankind. The philosophy of
universities is not real philosophy, it is speculative intellectualism. It
is as far removed from real philosophy as dogmatic religion is from real
religion or dogmatic science from real science. The one is alive, while
the other is dead.

Masons worship Satan / Lucifer. In the Bible Lucifer is called failed angel
or morning star.
Just look how many mason lodges has morning or eastern star in the name.

They also ride a goat, have oath to Lucifer and swear on Bible and basically
they are paganism religion worshiping pagans Gods left more than 2,000 years
ago by people who are not ignorant.

Masonry "invented" own history in 17th Century with idea that they can
become reach by manipulating government and infiltrating all institutions.
They need secrecy because they are criminals and liars.

Low level members in Blue or Green lodge are not told the real nature of
masonry. They are brainwashed with lies, and only enough corrupted or stupid
are promoted to higher levels where "craft" is revealed.

10 Questions for a Mason who Thinks He is Christian
Secret Sins By William Schnoebelen

Do you truly think that Churchianity is real Christianity? Do you likewise
truly think that dogmatic Christianity is real Christianity? They are far
from it.

"!?" as they say in chess.
Christianity is what Christians believe.
Being a Christian is determined by professing a specific _faith_ (ie, belief
without proof in the existence of Jesus Christ as the son of a monotheistic
diety - mysteriously identified as JVH of the Old Testament).
Related to that (almost by accident, but it is the accident that propagates the
message) is the history and structure of the church, the influence of dogma,
psychological vulnerability in the face of "death anxiety", "religious experience"
(a mental event well noted), various kinds of accession to the "truth" of the
messages in the bible, and even indoctrination of children and alienated adults.
Whether the _faith_ is genuine, is unknowable.

Oh come on! The faith is very genuine, there are enough people pushing
it to know that - what the faith teaches, or the cornerstone of the
faith is "genuine" is another story again.

Post by Cate McKew
What is the real Christianity? The genuine article? I trust that each person should
make up their own minds. One thing is clear though: there is an awful lot of
unreal beliefs and behaviours out there that are decidedly unreal Christianity.
Bad News Bible...

What any of this has to do with Masons is another mystery...... but
then perhaps all the bad-mouthers of Masons are slow to forgive
Catholics - after all, Masons were not welcome and were refused entry
into the Catholic Church until 1995! However, even their black ban has
been lifted.

Eh, what? No?

If I claim I am a Calithumpian Bushwacker and believe in the sacred Fronds
of the unnameable Nardle-Noo Frog, it is unknownable to you whether my
faith is genuine. Even under torture I may be fibbing...

And what starts as an artifice of faith may become a genuine faith if I
repeat it enough, and/or get enough social feedback. Ask L Ron Hubbard's
flock... ["I can make the lame walk, and the blind see, but I cannot lead
the fool from his folly"].

When the Church of Rome lifts a ban, it takes about 100 years before

it tends to forget the most recent details and commitments. [Anyone

Ahhh.... but that is a totally different kettle of fish. You are no
longer suggesting the FAITH, if genuine or not, "is unknowable". You
have shifted it to, that your belief in the faith "is unknowable".

Don't confuse "faith" with "belief in the faith" as being the same -
they are not. However I have to agree with the "cannot lead the fool
from his folly" statement :-)

10 Questions for a Mason who Thinks He is Christian

...and that statement is loaded with bigotry. There is noting
preventing a Mason being a Christian... or of any religion they
please.

Post by Spam
Secret Sins By William Schnoebelen
1. If Masonry is not a religion, why does it have all the trappings of
a religion?
Though Masons are told it is not a religion, that claim does not bear
close scrutiny. By any dictionary definition, Freemasonry has all the
distinctive qualities of a religion. It demands a belief in a Supreme Being
as a requirement for membership. It also has a chaplain, rituals of
initiation, prayers and funeral services and teaches a plan of salvation. It
also has an organized body of philosophical and ethical teachings. Thus,
Masonry is indeed a religion.

I cannot fathom this "mason hate" propaganda that has been doing the
rounds recently. The conclusion drawn is arrant nonsense. What makes a
religion a religion is a specific concept of a god - not just any god.
A Hindu God or any other God is acceptable for Masons - or at least
the lip service to one. That an ancient club has rituals is hardly
surprising. Hell, if that was all that there was to a "religion" the
whole Pommy establishment would be a "religion"! They wear funny
clothes, and have silly rituals too! Is the Queen a "god" - I doubt
anyone believes that - yet she IS the head of the Anglican Church!
Does that make all POMS "Christian of the "Anglican" version? What a
load of codswallop!

Post by Spam
2. If it is a religion, which one is it?
First in concern, it is not the Christian religion. Masonic
authorities openly deny it is Christianity,

Indeed, because they are NOT a religion. Why is it that there are
people so willing to beat up on the first trade union in existence?
What are they afraid of?
