Yes, like an old Testament prophet who is directing criticism directly at Masons. It is the target that gives me pause in this. Seeing that most of the congress-critters involved are probably not member of the Masonic Lodge, then where is the criticism for them? Are they also not part of this problem.

I’m looking not only at the wording (which a knowledgeable demon would use) but at the target. Thus I think it is from her own subconscious rather than either heavenly or demonically inspired.

Can someone point me to a reliable article on the history of the Masons, and why these have been so controversial?

My father was in the Masons....

..He was a pretty trusting soul....church going....and still he adhered to all their secret stuff....even carried a Masonic Bible (shudder)

I never thought much about it as a little girl.....

He always told me they looked out for their own...(& that may be true)

But like any organization (usually) there is the bottom rung doing their thing and abiding by simple rules..

..and then there is the hierarchy.

And through the years we have read and realized the hierarchy is not Godly.
I'm sure I will have some pushback here at FR....but from what I've read, they are not!

My dad never believed anything bad about them......he even became a Shriner.--(they only saw the 'fun', the parades, the Shriner Hospital, etc.--(which I guess does do good and that I commend)--
He didn't want to hear about hierarchy or what their core beliefs are.

So I prevented them from performing a graveside service over him (which they will do once the official service is over and the pastor has left the grounds)

I believe this woman who spoke out was suggesting this type of organization wormed its way into some of our founding fathers thoughts and writings and disrupted our nation's purity.
