The big important difference here is that Nathan Bedford Forrest, Albert Pike and William Joseph Simmons may have been masons, but they acted as individuals and not as representatives of the Fraternity. 3 men out of a fraternity of over a couple of million Freemasons (at the time) doesn’t say much towards any potential accusations that the Fraternally either did or does support the KKK.
Interestingly enough though, I wonder if there is a real difference between branches of Freemasonry, or if these branch lines (spinoffs) are just different functions of one big common goal.
If I run into him, I shall be ready and willing to pass forward your greetings!Interestingly enough though, I wonder if there is a real difference between branches of Freemasonry, or if these branch lines (spinoffs) are just different functions of one big common goal.
By the way, if you run into Jack Straw over there in Wichita, tell him Cosmic Charlie said hello.
Not exactly,
Oh, okay… So it’s like a retirement spot then, in a way.
More like a way to make more money and ensure loyalty. Anyone who pays all that money and goes through all those degrees, without batting an eye at the content, is not likely to turn their back on the lodge very easily.
Masons idolize Hiram Abiff, the architect of King Solomon’s temple… But Solomon’s temple was destroyed because he began to worship false gods. The Masons believe that Hiram Abiff, is worthy of praise because he kept silent about the origins of his craft, (which he reportedly learned from the Jinn -where his father and their whole race come from) ultimately leading to his own death. …but Hiram Abiffs death is not comparable to Jesus’ crucifixion, and Hiram should not be worshipped, unless one wishes to fall into the same trap that King Solomon fell into, which resulted in the destruction of Jerusalem and the complete loss of 10 Jewish tribes that have never been accounted for.
Are Jinn like genies. I think I may have read that somewhere. If they are, I can’t believe grown men are actually into this.
Exactly, Jinn is the same as a genie (hence the crazy outfits of the Shriners). As a matter of fact, Muslims also believe in the Jinn, in which one falsely presented itself to Mohammed as the Angel Gabriel… Within Freemasonry though, this Jinn presented himself as One of Hiram’s ancestors “Tubai-Cain”… The descendent of Cain, the cursed and condemned brother of Able.
This might have interested me…when I was 6. Thanks for the info.
Well, it is what it is…
That’s What Freemasonry’s all about, which is probably why the Church forbids Catholics from joining them under the penalty of automatic excommunication.Well being a State officer in the Grand Commandery in the York Rite and only being a mechanic in city civil service I think not
Its amazing the Myths that people still believe about the Masons. Funny every time it comes up I never see anyone post a Grand Lodge reference (ONLY official view) of what they say. They like quoting this mason or that site or even what a churchman writes. Its like taking the works of a baptist a muslim or atheist as authoritative on what Catholics believe.
I told you about Nathan, Albert, and William above. Catholics are not to become Masons, and Masons wish to see the destruction of the Church.
Who said all Masons supported the KKK? I know I didn’t. They still support the subversion of the Church, and that will lead to it’s ultimate destruction.
But there isnt a Catholic opposition to them officially is there?
