About 40 years ago, I went to lunch with my ex-in-laws. They wanted to go to the restaurant in the Masonic Temple, which I didn’t know anything about. It was unbelievably creepy. The walls were decorated with murals of ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. It did not seem like harmless artwork, but as tribute to the “other gods” that are forbidden by the First Commandment. I couldn’t wait to get out of there!
Thank you all for your words of comfort and support. It was unexpected and, therefore, unnerving at first to be in such a place, until I remembered that evil can only enter your heart and mind when invited. I don’t want to be there, but I grew more comfortable as the day wore on, knowing I was protected.
The building is old and worn, with benign displays of sequined Mason caps, Mason cuff links and emblematic shields. I think you’re right, meyer, that this establishment is run by lower level Masons. There’s no evidence of the more explicit NWO symbols. I’ll explore the building a little more tomorrow, but I prayed before I entered and felt completely protected while inside. If I can find a church nearby, I’ll try to get some holy water and really bless their building for them!
