In a way. It answers what you believe in.
This mason that told me has been in the craft for a very long time, although I dont know his rank.
He doesnt say much.
Actually thats all he's told me. The reason why it was profound to me, to hear that, was because of the timing.
Someone very dear, very near, to both of us, passed away. On the day of the funeral, that is what he told me.
He said he does not believe in the afterlife, he said when you die, thats it, there is nothing.
At a christening, the priest asked "do you renounce satan"
We were standing at the back, he looked at me and said "I dont".
On another ocasion he told me he believed jesus was just a man.
What do I think about this?
Im not an expert on anything so this is my opinion;
The Bible says, Jesus was the son of God - this mason said he was just a man
The Bible says, there is an afterlife - this mason said he does not believe in the afterlife
The Bible says, satan is Gods enemy - this mason said he does not renounce satan
This all to me is like reverse psychology
Could the very big secret is that they dont believe in anything, God or the afterlife?
Could it be just a tool to control the population?
Could they believe that the human being is God and satan?
And there is no divine judgement?
Very possibly.
It's very easy to look at it that way, a local priest might believe the whole Bible to be true.
But way up in the vatican, does 'Darth Ratzinger' (a bit of humour) believe this also, or is he part of the circus?
These are my thoughts.

So if you dont transmit them in spoken, written word or signs or symbols, then what do you use telepathy?
I dont understand what you just wrote, sorry.

Also, could you tell me why this thread is not on the active threads when it has 15 flags and alot of pages.
It is active, yet there is a thread there on active topics with I think 9 flags and 4 pages?
I provided a link between the Rothschilds and Masons as defined by the Israel Supreme Court.

In my personal opinion it just another aspect of the allegory play being presented. There's certainly an interesting juxtaposition between portraying someone as an accused, yet asking them if they're there of their own free will. I'll have to ask some of my more learned brethren what their thoughts are on the matter.

1) If the Freemasons are descended from the medieval stone guilds, then why do they dress up in a rough smock for each of the first three degrees of freemasonry? The rough smock is what medieval heretics wore as they were brought before the Inquisition.
Can you be more specific about an "international grand lodge of Freemasonry?" The only group I'm aware of that calls themselves that was started in Ohio about 4 or 5 years ago, and isn't recognized by regular Freemasonry. Basically they're just a few guys who weren't happy with how the Grand Lodge of Ohio was running things, so they split off and decided to make their own Grand Lodge. Nobody really takes them seriously, and as far as I know, that "grand lodge" only has 2 or 3 regular lodges under them.
2) If the master mason degree is the highest degree in freemasonry, then why is the coat of arms of the international grand lodge of Freemasonry the coat of arms of Royal Arch Freemasonry?
It's not something that's covered in the Masonic lectures. There may be Masons who've written about it, but honestly I know nothing about the subject.
3) What can any Freemason here answer about their own history regarding the war between the moderns and the ancients? What started it, what happened during it, and what ended it. With out reverting to dogma!
