There are plenty of other well documented claims about shape shifting demons, so the growing of fangs honestly does not sound very far fetched to me.

Now you could say that you don't believe his claims and therefore you believe him to be a fraud, but I would be very careful to dismiss seemingly incredible claims when it comes to anything demonic for two reasons.

1. I've read a lot about other people's experiences with demons and shape shifting and sex are two very common themes. Don't forget that the book of Genesis talks about angels having sex with humans and begetting the nephilim.
2. The spiritual world is a world very much unlike our own, so to look at that world from our point of view we have absolutely no business claiming what is possible or impossible because our viewpoint is extremely limited. It would be like a plumber telling a nano-scientists what's possible or impossible in the world of nano-technology. He simply wouldn't know what's possible in nano-technology, just like we simply don't know what's possible in the spirit world.

If you dismiss everything that you believe to be impossible then you're closing your mind to understanding new things. If there's one thing I know for sure it's that as humans we do not understand everything, let alone in our physical world, but certainly not in the spiritual world that surrounds us.

It has nothing to do with Masonry, though, and even your "expert" there did not say it does. This was just one of the many phases of his life that he went through looking for meaning.

What's his name? My kindle isn't playing very many videos tonight.
I'll Google him, but I might not trust what I find.
His name is something like Bill Schnobleon. He is well known for fabricating stories to make himself appear to be something he isnt.
He use to reinvent himself evry few years to remain relevent. Even well known anti-masons have found him to be dishonest and have disowned him and his stories.

I knew it, but was afraid to ask. I ran across him about 16yrs ago. Thought I recognized him.
I agree. I think he just wants attention.

QUOTE="LastSeven, post: 69235198, member: 268387"]There are plenty of other well documented claims about shape shifting demons, so the growing of fangs honestly does not sound very far fetched to me.

I have seen plenty, but none that were documented unless that simply means published.
Now you could say that you don't believe his claims and therefore you believe him to be a fraud, but I would be very careful to dismiss seemingly incredible claims when it comes to anything demonic for two reasons.
I agree it is important to be polite.
1. I've read a lot about other people's experiences with demons and shape shifting and sex are two very common themes. Don't forget that the book of Genesis talks about angels having sex with humans and begetting the nephilim.
Shifting materially is a difficult concept for me to digest, but the idea that the viewer's sight is shifting from the material to the spiritual, has offered me a plausible explanation of this professed experience.


Right. So some of us like to reduce the discussion from the infinitely possible to the relatively plausible, but it is all just theorizing.
Very good point. It might be like comparing Jules Verne 's writing to NASA's reporting.

It could be he is both very sincere and very delusional in a high functioning way.

Yes, that did cross my mind. The leather-skinned, red-eyed reptilian beings in the sky sounds more like a delusion than a conspiracy theory, and the imagined Masonic "degrees" above 33 may be in that category as well.

It is completely untrue that it's a front for the Jesuits. The current pope is a Jesuit and previously stated by other popes that Catholicism and Masonry are incompatible.

Well, whatever reality really is, Satan gets the scales and tail in scripture, & I have heard (from extra-scriptural sources, of course) that our species is an experiment in peace making, between the various reptilian and mammal species in competition for Earth.
Of course it's complicated, but boils down to us being a mammalian superstructure on a reptilian chassis. This is reflected visibly in our early embryonic stages, and the brain structure of frontal and cerebral cortexes with the ... it's escaping me... I can't remember the core structure associated with processing intrinsic & autonomic responses...

Cool beans, huh? Ya can't find science fiction that exotic!
