So as not to hijack another thread, I was wondering if anyone who has a background in masonry can share some of your experiences. I have heard a lot of talk about it, but I'm totally ignorant of the whole issue of masonry. Would love to hear from anyone; if you would rather PM me, that would be cool too. Just trying to educate myself on the subject.

I studied some during my engineering course. The basics are that the masonry cannot withstand tension so masonry structures are designed so that the only forces are compressive (unless other materials are used). Once you manage this the only issue is stability which does not depend on size so if you can design a viable, scaled down model the full size structure will work. Flying buttresses are cool.

I have noticed the diligent work of masons in many large elaborate churches. Flying buttresses yes, tension and structure. Some very ornate masonry work adorning some very elaborate churches. Utah is a good place to start when studying as it offers many fine examples of ornate architecture.

Many low level masons are ignorant of what the higher levels are involved in. Freemasonry, Scottish rite masonry, etc...is all about the worship of lucifer, Osirius, etc.. It's the 33 degree masons who fully are in hte know of this. In certain fields, etc...one can't runfor political office, have a profession,etc unless they are a mason.
Google and read up on Albert Pike..a major leader in Freemasonry back in the 1800's..Thee is a statue of him in Washington DC in front of the Scottish Rite masonic temple there.
There are blood oaths, etc in the brotherhood...one cannot divulge masonic secrets..on pain of death ..they have vows..and curses, etc...

Get a copy of Jeffrey A Baker's "Cheque mate" The Game of Princes, there is enough to read for everyone, but most will never understand, and in Appendix "A" you will find many notable Christians listed, and involved in the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR). The book was written in 1993, and much has happened and is true today.:)

Masons freely gave my daughter her very expensive backbrace and treatment for it. They are okay by me. I am not one, my grandfather was.

I have met a "Christian" reverend that joined the Brotherhood, but it is so clear how he is getting blinded by darkness, one of his sayings is, "The Bible is not the Word of God, but the Word of God can be found in the Bible" first no no for me.
It is also written that light does not have fellowship with darkness and that is exactly what they do in these temples.
He also does not believe Jesus is the only way to the Father...... huh?

So Masonry does not look bad on the surface, doing nice things for the society, but I do believe there is a hidden agenda that even many of the Freemasonries are not informed about or ignorant of.

Be blessed in Jesus name!

I've spent years and years working through freemasonry curses. I had high level on both sides of the family tree.

Hi Bl2, so what is the end of the story, are those curses?

Many believers have been victimes of masonry curses, because the curses are of the enemy pronounced by his power workers.

Such curses are not always effective, but often they are.

Such curses don't usually involve demonisation, but at time they do.

Such curses aren't always allowed by our Messiah, but often they are.

Such curses don't usually have to individually indentified and defended against, but often they do.

Such curses thrive on ignorance and arrogance. They are nullified by knowledge and humility.

Such curses, to be most powerful, are worked up by invocations to the spirits and satanic magic through blood oaths and self-cursing. They are overcome only by the greater power of our Messiah. Sometimes our Messiah doesn't automatically overcome those curses on our behalf, however, we need to learn the spirit world power curses; understand them, and break them ourselves.

Our Messiah will always reveal the source of our problems, particularly when they are not physical but spiritual. These things are discovered by prayer, and when the curse is broken then healing will come.:)
