Mirthful, can I borrow your Learjet to check out the Turks and Caicos? I;ve been eyeing that property for some time now.

Masons have a different kind of thinking went it comes to religion. Debate on religion with one, and you can see the ideologies and philosphies that come with being formed in masonry. This is a sign of their brainwashing, and the future ability to accept the "messiah" that is to come.

Before anyone mentions false idols, the anti-Christ, and the whole host of reasons why not, I'd just like to say: I think it's a great idea... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I'm really going to be intolerable now
I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly against all heretics, Protestants and Masons, as I am directed to do to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex, or condition, and that will hang, bum, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants' heads against the wails in order to annihilate their execrable race. That when the same can not be done openly, I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agents of the Pope or superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Father of the Society of Jesus."
"In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul, and all corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive I will subscribe my name written in my blood in testimony thereof; and should I prove false or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers of the militia of the Pope cut off my hands and feet and my throat from ear to ear, my belly opened and sulphur burned therein with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth and my soul shall be tortured by demons in eternal hell forever."
"That I will in voting always vote for K. of C, in preference to a Protestant, especially a Mason, and that I will leave my party so to do; that if two Catholics are on the ticket I will satisfy myself which is the better supporter of Mother Church and vote accordingly."
"That I will not deal with or employ a Protestant if in my power to deal with or employ a Catholic. That I will place Catholic girls in Protestant families that a weekly report may be made of the inner movements of the heretics."
"That I will provide myself with arms and ammunition that I may be in readiness when the word is passed, or I am commanded to defend the church either as an individual or with the militia of the Pope."
"All of which I, ............, do swear by the blessed Trinity and blessed sacrament which I am now to receive to perform and on part to keep this, my oath."
"In testimony hereof, I take this most holy and blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist and witness the same further with my name written with the point of this dagger dipped in my own blood and seal in the face of this holy sacrament.

This is what I've come to understand. The Freemasons tend to be of upper class, wealthy, powerful influential people. They use these connections to achieve their common goals.
They desire to establish New World Order, under a "messiah" that will be accepted by all religions as the true "messiah". The European Union, amalgamation of banks, airlines, creation of Megacities, metropolises, are all signs of the movement toward New World Order.
Those who are new to the order, don't really know what the order is all about, but are slowly brainwashed into believing that "black is white, and white is black". New initiates are naive to the fact that as they go up further degrees, their philosphies and ideoligies are being molded to masonic philosophies and ideoligies.
The freemasons are going to use the world religions to gain global power for this false messiah. In this manner, religion will be destroyed and replaced by a humanistic pantheon of amalgamated religion.
Most freemasons are pawns, that do not see what those above them are trying to accomplish, but blindly follow orders, not seeing the final result.
This is what I've come to understand from various articles, and books, and discussion with masons.

If the masons in here read this article, I'm sure it will bring up some speculation. But in a nutshell, this is what I've come to believe
Masons goal, establish New World Order, one world government, one world religion, one world banking system etc.. under a "messiah" that they will put in place.

This means I can have a six-figure pension for life, right and maybe I'd like to be on the Executive Board
*I've never thought you've been intolerable like the rest do!!!!!*

Well, it is true that many 33rd degree Masons who probably understand the deeper meanings of the Craft and who are probably friends with other Masons who have pursued appendant degrees, have started out at the very bottom, namely, as an inititate.

I think it's important to point out that just because a Brother happens to be 33�, doesn't necessarily mean he has a superior knowledge of Masonry.
I have a close friend who received his 33� in 2001 and is a great guy...but he was honored with the 33� for serving as sound technician in our Valley's Reunion for years. He knows well what music to play at the different points during the degree ceremonies, but knows nothing about Scottish Rite history and symbolism, nor does he care.
I also know Brothers who have received the 33� because they cook dinner for all the meetings, or always participate in fundraisers, etc. For the most part, the 33� is not given due to Masonic knowledge, it's given to award active participation.

Now we are to belive there is a "Freeelectrican and Freecook fraternity" affiliated with masonry.
I just have to wonder how obvious disinformation as above posted relates in any way shape or form to ATS.
Must be a 'mason thing-
