Do you know how to comprehend what you read?
Freemasonry is pluralistic with no absolute truths of God and morals beyond whatever you want to believe even if it’s completely evil. Belief in God can be belief that the devil is God in freemasonry-it does not matter nor is anything defined.
The higher degree a mason becomes his shallowness of thought grows and he deceives himself that he has achieved something special
Just read the diabolical Albert Pike and it becomes clear the guy was a psychotic monster. That alone should make you run from freemasonry.
Read¿ I’m a high school dropout so I wouldn’t expect to much from me or my comprehension.
I don’t know anyone you described.
Not exactly true on the first part, but yes, the Scottish rite takes a rather onerous path, unless you do it over a three day weekend, missing significant parts of it.
I took the York rite degree by degree, though I stopped after Royal Arch Masonry, because I moved and never did pass on to Cryptic Masonry.
After I moved, I started discussions with my new parish priest, joined the KofC and eventually left Freemasonry.
I've read his "Dogma".....what utter trash!
BTW Nice seeing you call Masonary what it is. The fellows just starting out haven't a clue what's before them as the gravitate up the ladder....and are purposely occupies with trivial nonesense as a means of weeding them out as they go. Most never get to the 32 degree let alone further....
Very dark and senister at the top wrungs. But by then most haven't a clue how deep they've gone and generally takes an "awakening" to see this.
One man was asked to head an entire region which also included a visit to the initiation of young girls for Eastern Star. (He has three girls). When he saw what his daughters would be subjected to it shook him up in ways he never would have imagined....and to this day bears the scars of what he has seen within Masonary. But he did leave.
