The Secrets and Mysteries of The Masonic Lodge
by Is there more to the masons than meets the eye?
While the chronological beginnings of the lodge are shrouded, the purpose of the organization is even more so. Most feel that Masons descended from a guild of actual working stone masons and somewhere in the 1600’s went through a transformation, evolving into an organization of ‘gentlemen’. There are countless theories as to what exactly the masons do. That’s not to say that the information, or at least the vast majority of it, isn’t available. In this age of technology, there aren’t many secrets. With a quick google, you can learn the rituals step by step.
You can find out the secret words. You can dredge up every shred of symbolism there is to be found for every ritual object (of which there are many). But what is the lodge for? Why, for hundreds of years, have men continued to go through these rituals and practices? What is it about this club; a club of grown men that uses passwords and secret handshakes, for god’s sake, that has attracted a good portion of the most powerful men in the history of the world?
Stay tuned for part 2

Free Masons are truly shrouded in secret. Question is whether we should even uncover the secrets or like they say some things are better left alone?

I do know this much from 2 years worth of research. Most of the first freemasons also belonged to the Knight Templar. Also I will say even on the dollar bills that we americans use to day you will see a couple references to the masons though most people would not catch them unless pointed out.

“The Masonic fraternity tramples upon our rights, defeats the administration of justice, and bids defiance to every government which it cannot control.” -13th US President Millard Fillmore
“I do conscientiously and sincerely believe that the Order of Freemasonry, if not the greatest, is one of the greatest moral and political evils under which the Union is now laboring … a conspiracy of the few against the equal rights of the many … Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong – essentially wrong – a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.” -US President John Quincy Adams, “Letters on Freemasonry” 1833
The institution of Masonry ought to be abandoned as one capable of much evil, and incapable of producing any good which might not be affected by safe and open means.” -Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall
Nothing more than organized crime, common mason has no idea what they are really part of, they just know it helped them get the good jobs, promoted, elected, etc. Upon completing the 3rd degree (master mason), you take a blood oath to perjure yourself to protect a fellow master mason, murder and treason excepted. Why do you think some people get out of trouble, others are persecuted. Many court cases sealed & not printed in the newspapers? Unknown to most is the hidden agenda of global control, or as our presidents lately have stated, “The New World Order”. (google master mason ritual/oath). Qball is NOT a moron, he’s correct.
