So the $2 million per day in charity doesn't count as fruit, the members among the most hallowed names in every field aren't fruit, but the less-than-patient response to being lied about and defamed, that's the fruit? That's what counts? I'm starting to wonder if your judgment should matter to me.

We see who someone worships by their actions.
Words mean different things to different people. If a muslim bombs a building - I wont say that he worships God - if God is intended to mean all that is good. No, Id say he worships some darker influence, I may even say Satan if I feel he was blinded by this.
Thats because I am coming from my own belief system.

I'm back and have read everything and I do not know if it's me, or some of the Freemasons responding here but I'm not seeing this debate going anywhere except circles. This is usually the case with this particular subject, but I thought I'd give it a go and see if someone would shock me or surprise me with their amazing way of eloquently and maturely debating and/or defending their fraternity. No one did and it's unfortunate that such negative responses come from what you all claim is such a benevolent fraternity. I am finished here. I came. I gave. I received nothing to remotely doubt what I believe about Freemasonry. *shrug*
I'll leave you with some wisdom...
"You will know them by their fruits"
Peace out Masons!

Part of it, the blame is on the Secret Society it self. Which naturally since it´s a secret society cannot reveal all of their secrets. Otherwise wouldn´t be a Secret society at all. Thus leading to speculative theories etc, which may or may not be true.
Peace

By the way, "all my opponents in this debate are hopelessly brainwashed" is another supremely arrogant thing to say.

As are the self proclaimed "Christians" who come here to inform us whom we "really" are worshiping.
Do you like to be told when you pray to God, you are actually praying to the Devil, or some other evil entity? Feel free to read a few threads here to fully understand the reason this thread was created.
Well...Christians have every right to defend who or what they worship, they have proof beyond proof and have faith beyond faith (speaking on behalf or true Christians)
Christians have a Book they follow as their guide and their truth which ultimately is their reason for being labeled "Christians"
OK...so where is your proof that you do follow THE God?
I personally don't think you're all in tune with one another because one Freemason will state firmly Freemasonry is not a Religion, but what you've just written as many do...shows that it is. Do you see how this can confuse a non-mason? I'm not even too sure most Freemason's really even know what Freemasonry IS. So it's hard to debate with a non-mason without enough evidence in yourself that what you know and believe is really what you "know and believe"

No, your character and your response in dealing with opposition is your fruit.
When you make a topic about something I must defend, invite me and I will very gladly respond with manner and decorum, or surely try to, because I do not want to represent truth with a poor attitude and character.

Quite a few British Royals have been/are Freemasons.

That isnt to say that " most" masons are corrupt.
Originally posted by FreedomEntered
I think on the contrary. I believe there are very many upstanding masons. But you are Jotas. Why do you think the Royals have now teamed up with the Jewish kate middleton?.
Originally posted by FreedomEntered
Your practices stem from King Solomon and the occultic side of Judaism . You are Luciferians primarily. But probably do not realise it.

Do you fell that Christians have the right to defend themselves, but also have the right to attack other groups with falsehoods? If Jesus Christ was in front of you right now, how would you answer that?
You have some serious double standard issues. Please seek help.

Back to this again...
when you begin to feel defeated is this what you resort to?
In all honesty and off topic for one second here, anyone of us coming to share something we know and have experienced is a form or arrogance. And certainly to someone who opposes another person's view, will appear arrogant.
now some of the folks are good or their intent anyway was/is good, but it does not remove the fact they all believe(d) they had something unique to contribute to others to even change the world....talk about arrogance
I believe you're all brain-washed and until you can prove to me otherwise...I will continue to believe that.

This is a fine theory. Unfortunately, it's very rare that people actually ask an unloaded question. There are very few secrets in Freemasonry, and none of them are of importance outside it. People just assume they can't find anything out and proceed from there.

I'll be sure to trot out tired, debunked accusations, call you brainwashed, too. And then I'll attack your character if you don't respond with a positively angelic attitude.

The 'secrets' haven't been secret in pushing three centuries. They've been freely available in published form and now with the advent of the Internet you can access them from the comfort of your home. If you don't know the secrets of Masonry it isn't because they're unavailable.

By the way I wrote it is my personal view that money is the root of all evil, I did not use the Bible there FYI.
And your earlier response was an attempt to impress me, or someone or boast that Freemasonry donates 2mil to charities.
If the best anyone can do is boast with how charitable they are by throwing money here and there, then it goes back to the Biblical passage that you're using money as a means to say you love.
There was a Freemason on yesterday who had responded in a dignified manner with respect, I would listen to him.
