I was in an AOG church that had a Mason serving communion who was clueless there might be a conflict, while an elder wasn’t a Mason, but certainly was a warlock. The Lord had me give a word to a black man wearing a Masonic necklace last year. The word was, “the Lord knows why you did it and He understands.” I didn’t mention the necklace, but it was understood. The man was infiltrating a racist club. I’d like to believe the best that the tie was symbolic of “tying their hands” or “tying thing up with them,” and wearing like a victor, or holding up a scalp.
