Many older Mormons become agitated when you start asking about Masonry ties.
Many of the Mormon rites have parallels in the Orders of Masonry.
And their past practice of excluding Blacks from their “heaven” as inferior beings.

This ties into the other post I made, after I posted I thought about a friend who's husband is a Mormon and a Mason, so she asked him and he said the reason the older Mormons get freaked is something to do with Joseph Smith made his ‘own Masonry’??? I have never heard that, I do know I have seen a picture of the Smith phony of the cult that is wearing original Mason cluff links...
I did something a few years back, I took the Bible and the Book of Mormon and when page for page and what I found out is in my opinion that he read a page of the Bible and then transposed what he thought onto the page of the Book of Mormon...try it, you'll see what I mean...
A friend of mine one day said to me that the weight of gold is heavy and he found these plates and translated them??? She laughed...
You see just because some of live in Utah we don't believe the garbage they try to feed us...
