"Shriners hide the terrifying abuses of a secretive organization behind smiling clowns, candy and tear-jerking, sentimental ads for children’s hospitals while soliciting millions from an unsuspecting uninformed public."

No! Not the Pig roast!

Taking oaths is NOT allegorical.

These oaths you take lightly?

(I don’t know how the management feels about actual posting of the actual oaths, so I’ll just leave it to anyone who wants to check it out to read the link)

You’ve never heard of the Masons?
Doesn’t matter as they have merged
with the Knights of Columbus and are
now called the Masonites...bada boom.

Does your lodge and its rituals ever mention Jesus Christ, the only way to heaven?

Or is it teaching that everyone goes to heaven and God is everyone’s Father kind of stuff?

My understanding is the Shriners have the largest burn hospital for kids - the Shriners are part of the Masonic Lodge.

Ditto

My family still talks about that. Mom and Dad were totally into the work. When dad passed Mom never got a call, no one came by, nothing.

It was very odd. Yet very revealing.

I guess my issue would be the secret oaths, rituals and GAOTU - uniting in prayer to him. The symbolism meant to deceive, giving one meaning to brothers/another to others.

Members must believe in a higher being (GAOTU), but not necessarily Jesus as the way the truth and the life..no one one comes to the Father but through Him. Lodges shall refrain from offending any brother by the use of Jesus’s name.

Even daughters of the Eastern Star symbol...good grief! Upside down five pointed star that looks like the satanic goat? FM is claimed not to be a religion, but they have Temples, there are “worshipful masters”.

Consider the writings of famed Freemason, Albert Pike.

Albert Pike. On page 524 of Morals and Dogma - We do not undervalue the importance of any Truth. We utter no word that can be deemed irreverent by anyone of any faith.

And as little do we tell the sincere Christian that Jesus of Nazareth was but a man like us,...

Then there are masonic writers such as:
Mackey, Ward, Higgins.

Manly P. Hall had some weird observations as well about Freemason occultism and political corruption via NWO studies.

I dunno...not wanting to tear down the good work of those in the brotherhood, but there is just way too much that seems to be contrary to Christian life.

Both my grandfathers were Masons. One was a devout Baptist, the other an agnostic/atheist. At guess, their motives were respectively, to get away from the wives and to be part of a secret.

“no I’ve heard of the Masons, just never heard they were Satanic.”

It must be true. I read it on an FR thread

I was in different churches over the years as I’d join a church a friend of mine started, it closed down so I joined another church, then when I married joined her church, etc. Every church I’ve ever been in has always been called a cult by someone of some other denomination.

Are the Shriners and Masons a cult? Maybe. But forgive me if my experience of being on the receiving end of that accusation myself makes me doubtful.

A co-worker’s father wanted to go to the Mason nursing home, but there was something about signing over everything to them. The co-worker was furious about this and was trying to talk the father out of it. I never heard the outcome due to the company shutting down and everyone going their separate ways.

Every club could be construed as a cult of some sort. Churches have always been pegged. Hell, Alcoholics Anonymous has been labeled as a cult a few times.

Never had much interest in either Masons or Shriners. Then, 15 years ago, my buddy’s grand son was born with Meningocele Spina Bifida. Doctors at local hospitals and WVU recomended all sorts of barbaric treatments, all with lousey prognoses. He ended up being taken to a Shriner’s hospital (in Ohio I think) and after a few months, aside from needing colostomy bags, he was on his way to being a normal boy. Now nearing 16, he will have to return to the hospital for further treatments. This was not unexpected, but predicted as necessary as he grew. He’s known this his whole life and is OK with it. I’m not sure, but I think one more will be necessary after he finishes growing...probably sometime in his 20s. This boy’s parents were young and by no means wealthy then or now, but there was and will be no charges for the treatments this boy needed then and into the future.

I’d be very hard pressed to say anything bad about the Shriners.
