My story goes as such: I was in college in an advanced financial degree where my professor introduced us into what really runs the global economy. A few months later 9/11 happened. I instantly knew something wasn't right.
To try and keep it short.... I realized freemasons were a huge factor in our society. I researched the shit out of it. I kept going back and forth...are they good or evil?
While I was researching these issues, my grandpa passed and I inherited a masonic ring (which turned out to be my great grandpa's) He was a good man, so I decided to petition a local lodge. If you can't beat them, join 'em?!
Here I am 14 years later reading about Q. I never once ran across an evil or nefarious mason. I have met at least 5 active(only 66 in the US) and many honorary 33rd freemasons. I was present at Harry Truman's grandsons 3rd degree in Joliet (did I just dox myself?) I really think it was originally founded to be a great thing. Even the US Constitution was damn near a direct copy of the masonic constitution.
But here I am, wanting to disavow my membership, based on the posts here and what Q has posted. I took my oath, on a Bible, with all of my energy focused toward God, Charity and Brotherly love. I did many great and honorable things with my local lodge. We brought money and food to local widows during Christmas, I flew burn victims free of charge, through our Shriner Aviator club, etc... I thought I was doing a good thing. I know we were infiltrated at some point, but please understand it is most likely at the highest levels.
I need guidance my Frens. I am going through a divorce. My whole world is changing. I look to this special group for guidance. When SHTF I don't want to be taken out by the Q group because I am a freemason. I haven't been to a meeting in 5+ years and the only reason I am still a member is because I bought a life membership. What do I do?
To guard against the approach of cowans and eavesdroppers and see that none pass or repass but such as are duly qualified and have permission.
So during Lodge it is a secret society. I know being on the inside it seems different and maybe not so secret, but to the perspective of outsiders you might have trouble arguing that it’s not a secret society. So my advice is be honest and good willed. I honestly don’t think Q would throw all masons in the same boat as one another, where ever we are and whatever we do it’s always a fine line between good and evil. But anyways.. where do they get their lightbulbs at? 💡 lol
During all meetings, whether it be the local Elks club or board meeting at a company, one can argue as being secret. If you’re not a member, your not allowed into a meeting. Freemasons are doing a very bad job if we are a secret society.
Then I could say that the memory work is secretive, give a booklet meant for initiations to an outsider and see if they can read it. Teach that outsider to read it then you might have to watch out for birds of prey. Also I have to say I’m not in opposition to freemasonry, I’m just airing my opinions
If you have to decipher text to understand the rites, then the act of ciphering it is to keep it concealed or hidden or to be kept secret from others who don’t have the tools to decipher the material. Right?
You know that minutes are kept from every meeting, yes? I don't know many secret societies who literally record all their meetings.
