All your rituals that you do. To those "symbols". Do you not think that you are not giving your power away to something else beyond you? No trying to bash you in anyway, or any other mason here. Have fun with the Orions

My "obligation" not oath stated that I will not reveal any secrets of masonry, and as I stated previously I never have and i never will.
Sixth, no Masonic Organization that I am aware of allows
an 18 yr old to be initiated, passed or even raised. As it
is passed down by by-laws that the age requirement is 21
for a petition. Which also throws doubt onto your legitimacy.

It is an Obligation to your fellow brothers.
It is an OATH to GOD.
And you seem to select only certain portions
of your Obligation/Oath to adhere to.
It's not JUST any secrets of Masonry,
it is "any secrets of Masonry that have been,
may be now or at any future time be
communicated to me or in any way
come to my knowledge". Secrets
being labeled as ANYTHING
shared amongst the brethren.
And yes, I was 32Deg Scottish Rite.
While I do agree with the need to share
info to save lives, I do not know if I could
break an Oath/Obligation to do so.
This is the moral fiber which distinguishes
a Master Mason from the fellow craft.
I'm sure this thread will be under close scrutiny
in coming days.

Nah doesnt happen, i understand the people you know helps, but it doesnt add up, unless your friend is essentialy cosied up to VERY powerful people such as lesser nobility then it aint gonna happen. But then i cant vouch for lodges in germany, they may have become somewhat comprimised over the years, but i doubt it.

I would feel severely misled if I found out there was some secret sub-group of 33rd Degree Masons, beyond the Honorary 33rd Degree Masons that I know and love. It would be a violation of my trust, so I hope the message the OP received was not a Masonic one.

let's not forget that there are clandestine lodges
who operate outside jurisdiction and code.
Call it the dark side, if you will.
They do not represent Free Masonry
as a whole. I would think that such
a plan of this nature might could have
been constructed in one of these
clandestine lodges. However, when there
is a call-out to all Masons to join them,
they will be met with resistance. And their
numbers will be minuscule.
And thanks for the heads up about
18 yr olds in FL. That's news to me.
