Why do freemasons here deny their group's secret history?

I've been reading The Rise of the 4th Reich and apparently the group was a direct descendant of the Knights of Templar. I don't know why so many freemasons are in denial of everything that is said about their history or about them.

Because there is no proof of a Masonic-Knights Templar connection. Where are your links proving what you say? Or are we to take your word on it?

And how they were imprisoned in death camps.

Do you have any proof that there is no proof that it happened? If you're going to be on the debunker side at least tell why you want to debunk it. I see a lot of posters here posting that nothing happened without proof just to deny things.

Masonic Rituals recorded and exposed by a Brother in Turkey

**Translation** **The very typical comments, or insults, and denials by Freemasons will not be accepted or tolerated on my host. There are other places with this same footage to go to.**

Masonic rituals recorded and exposed by a Brother in Turkey.

The first series of footage is a Masonic initiation of three Freemason recruits (Apprentices).

The second is a ritual of 33rd degree Freemason's slitting a sacrificial goat on a pentagram in the Lodge's temple room. Note, you can continue to observe the Masonic swords. The grand master drinks the goat's blood which is sacrificed in the middle of the room and prays in Hebrew language and ends the satanic worship ritual.

The last small segment is of a Masonic wedding at a lodge in Istanbul. There is a masonic wedding ceremony.

Thats wonderful. If the translation is accurate, that is not the wording in the U.S. And on this site, to my knowledge, the burden of proof is on the accuser or the straw man argument proponent, not the recipient or accused. Pick a position, think about it , then post a cogent response or at least a reasonably thought out question. Thanx !

It's up to you to provide proof to the positive (proof of your assertion) not others to disprove a negative. Using your approach, I could defy you to disprove that you aren't a talking alien cat with opposable thumbs. See how that works?

Bravo response.
And this is not a one line response as there are letters andthings that make it a
multi line thngy.

imo, Because freemasons took the oath to defend masonry at any cost
The important question is: ( Is it possible that, freemasons could '' lie'' to defend masonry ? )

News And History, here is a thread about this video

I see. But can't masons defend themselves and debunk these facts without denying them completely? I'm sure there is probably a lot of truth to them , as, a lot of people supported Hitler's Nazi ideology at the time.

The long-accepted methodology associated with presenting claims of fantastic origin is to place the burden of evidence on those making the assertions. I see no evidence provided by you whatsoever.

Do you have any proof that there is no proof that it happened?

That is an absurdly ridiculous question.

Okay,

The idea of a widespread freemason conspiracy originated in the late 1700's and flourished in the US in the 1800's. Persons who embrace this theory often point to purported Masonic symbols such as the pyramid and the eye on the back of the dollar bill as evidence of the conspiracy. Allegations of a freemason conspiracy trace back to British author John Robison who wrote the 1798 book Proofs of a Conspiracy Against All the Religions and Governments of Europe, carried on in the secret meetings of Free Masons, Illuminati, and Reading Societies, collected from good authorities. Robison influenced French author Abbé Augustin Barruel, whose first two volumes of his eventual four volume study, Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism, beat Robison's book to the printer. Both Robison and Barruel discuss the attempt by Bavarian intellectual Adam Weishaupt to spread the ideas of the Enlightenment through his secretive society, the Order of the Illuminati.

Weishaupt was appointed a professor at the University of Ingolstadt in Germany around 1772 and elevated to the post of professor of Canon Law in 1773 or 1775 (sources conflict), the first secularist to hold that position previously held by clergy. Weishaupt began planning a group to challenge authoritarian Catholic actions in 1775, the group (under a different name) was announced on May 1, 1776. This group evolved into the Illuminati. The Enlightenment rationalist ideas of the Illuminati were, in fact, brought into Masonic lodges where they played a role in a factional fight against occultist philosophy. The Illuminati was suppressed in a series of edicts between 1784 and 1787, and Weishaupt himself was banished in 1785.

Weishaupt, his Illuminati society, the Freemasons, and other secret societies are portrayed by Robison and Barruel as bent on despotic world domination through a secret conspiracy using front groups to spread their influence.

Barruel claimed the conspirators "had sworn hatred to the altar and the throne, had sworn to crush the God of the Christians, and utterly to extirpate the Kings of the Earth." For Barruel the grand plot hinges on how Illuminati "adepts of revolutionary Equality and Liberty had buried themselves in the Lodges of Masonry" where they caused the French revolution, and then ordered "all the adepts in their public prints to cry up the revolution and its principles." Soon, every nation had its "apostle of Equality, Liberty, and Sovereignty of the People."

That is the background of what I'm talking about. I've read that there are a lot of illuminati ideas that are with the freemasons.

As a FreeMason I ask this question. DO you believe in God. If all of these people who claim about a so-called secrete society believe in god and actually check out Free-Masonery & I believe there are plenty of factual sites where 1 can get factual info. Not a bunch of crack-pot bloggers making false claims where most of the masses follow blindly.
Any one with half a brain would understand the truth. We as humans tend to believe falsehoods and if you say it enough believe it to be true.
I feel true pity on you.

Early Christianity had to be secrete to avoide persecution as they do in the middle east. Then does 1 also put Christians into the Secrete Society Relm also. Don't persue false-hoods cause it's easy. Explore the truth. Yes it's hard. However the truth will set you free.

May I redirect your apparently scatter-shod attention back to the statement you made as you authored this thread --

I've been reading The Rise of the 4th Reich and apparently the group was a direct descendant of the Knights of Templar.

Your link provided no validation of that statement.

Perhaps you should engage in slightly more research down the path of the post-revolution sensationalism of the French aristocracy. Theirs was a brief and ill-fated attempt to blame the revolution not on their poor governance, but on shadowy secret societies. Many melodramatic present-day conspiracy conjecture on Masonry owe evolutionary roots to old writings and rumors that are difficult to substantiate.

Has the world gone crazy? We are supposed to disprove the lineage between the Templars and Freemasonry when it hasn't even been established yet?

I personally wouldn't have a problem if there was a direct lineage between the two groups. It has a certain romantic appeal.

You've got to demonstrate the linkage first, though.

Now, I have to go and worship Baal for a while, but I'll be back later.

From what I have seen, masons are not trying to disprove a liniage with the Knights Templar, they would be happy to prove it if possible.

Believe nothing of that which they speak of regarding their organization. They are all misled from top to bottom. Each and everyone of them were hoodwinked from the the first step they took into their organization. I rest my case.

That sentence just defies belief. Is "everything" that's ever said about someone's past actually true? Just because you read it in a book doesn't necessarily mean it's true. I once read a magazine piece that I featured in which wasn't accurate by any means, yet there it is for people to believe and read. Everyone who ever read that magazine that didn't know me personally now has someone else's understanding and 'guess-timation' about my past. In my case, it was crossed-wires and poor research rather than 'agenda' though.

I'm not a Mason myself, but I'm seriously beginning to wonder whether there such a thing as 'Lodge envy' as the need to believe that Masons must be a nefarious organisation is baffling to me.
