I cannot and will not be comfortable with Freemasonry.
I will however love my in-laws and try to remind them of the Bible as much as possible.
Appak, I have a hard time believing that you and I are marching toward the same goal,
but the All Mighty lord tells me differently and that is what is so great about our Lord and Savior. AMEN.
If you want to know everything there is to know then read the bible.

But I just cannot get over the fact that you bow to a "worshipful master" with the Holy Bible at the side of his "thrown".
I have a very difficult time with that.
Especially that "G" right above it. It almost gives me that sickly feeling that Lucifer designed it himself as a deturent.

You can send me your personal email adress if you want. I'm not going to threaten you. I guess I would like to know more about Freemasonry. To be honest it frightens me by what I've seen so far but it's only been a few short weeks since my father in law mentioned it to me, and although I've always seen the sign on the side of roads "G" free and accepted (from what?) and symbols, I've never given them any thought or payed any attention to them until my father in law suggested it to me a few weeks ago so I started doing some internet research. Also, in all of my 34 years of age, I've honestly never really gone to church until about a week after my father in law mentioned Freemasonry to me. So I guess it can't be all that bad if it got me excited about Jesus, LOL! So hypocritically in a way it also stirred me in the right direction LOL!
To each his own and I know in my heart you are saved because you confess that All Mighty God, once Jesus Christ, is your lord and savior. But I just cannot get over the fact that you bow to a "worshipful master" with the Holy Bible at the side of his "thrown". I have a very difficult time with that. Especially that "G" right above it. It almost gives me that sickly feeling that Lucifer designed it himself as a deturent.
Good post Appak, I'm glad we could honestly post how we feel without insults. Knowlege is ok, but Wisdom is where the true power comes in. An old wise man once asked me, "If I'm the bad and your the good, then who's the ugly". Not entirely sure what message I was supposed to transend from that but my interpretation was that (and Im no prophet) we should not judge each other because that's what the devil wants us to do.
Your a good soul Appak, I have no doubt about that. Go ahead and send me your email address if you still want to = - )

If a group needs to maintain secrecy you might ask why, what self role do they cast themself in that does not allow for open discussion. Furthermore is it good to teach people to be secret.

This statement shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the history of Freemasonry; it's one of the least "elitist" organizations in the world. It doesn't matter what someones station in life is -- inside the lodge room, the President of the USA, the King of England, or whoever, is no better or worse than the guy who works in the factory. This is called "meeting on the level," and in my experience, it's true in practice at every lodge I have been in. Furthermore, Masonry teaches a belief in the "brotherhood of man and fatherhood of God," which includes ALL people, not just other Masons.
