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!
Interesting report on the lodge. I think you approached it just right.
Good for you. Putting on the Armor of God.
