For a sense of Brotherhood, Sense of Power, Sense of belonging, Sense of Meaning, Sense of Duty, social networking etc. The list goes on and is probably different for each member. Not everyone is or was fortunate enough to grow up in the best circumstances. And so they turn to organizations like the Masons seeking something that in their life up to that point may have been denied to them
The same thing though could be said of many Churches and Christian denominations. What benefit is there to being a member? Of going through sometimes odd initiation rights (At least depending on the denomination). Do you get anything tangible for it? Nothing in the Bible requires you to attend a service every Sunday to be saved.
So why do people do such things? Again. They are seeking something. Purpose, Meaning, Community etc. The list goes on.
Indeed. That is also how the establishment abuses people, to grow their sycophant pool.
I guess I'm somewhat of an oddity. I've never cared about any of that - I just want to learn everything. I just float along, keeping my eyes open and mouth shut.
I never want through wny initiation rights as s Christian. Churches that do that are probably run by these guys. I also don't do organized religion as it does look like this.
The Bible doesn't tell us to celebrate these Man created holidays, either, ESPECIALLY Christmas. The book of Jeremiah distinctly tells the people NOT to follow the ways of the pagans. Over and over God says this in Jeremiah. Matter of fact, churches celebrate on Sunday. SUN-Day. Sun worshiping.
Before my Awakening, I went through the 1st initiation to join. I never went back after. I had no clue they did this stuff until I went through the 1st round myself. And that was that. You are correct it was freaky and cultish. Really nothing God would wish to put anyone through to join some club.
As a Catholic I am forbidden to join. Even the current hierarchy full of satanic spawn just reaffirmed this. But even if they endorsed the faggotry I have always known in my heart God would frown upon the act.
The majority of the world for most of what we call "history" has gone through similar rituals. In ancient Israel for example (or Canaan if you prefer) they used to sacrifice children, eat them and drink their blood. People of a similar ilk still practice that exact same ritual today, with just as much horror as they used to do. We call them the Cabal, but they are just the same group of people, carrying their rituals through time.
And it's not just restricted to people who still follow the religions of ancient Israel (Canaan). That same ritual has been faithfully practiced by Canaan's descendent religions as well. Where do you think the Eucharist comes from FFS? First born son sacrifice? Eat their body? Drink their blood? Sound familiar?
This Freemason shit is nothing compared to some of our modern day rituals that are right out in the open that we consider to be "totally normal." The Eucharist is just one example. These things are all over the place. The human race is sick. We've had a species wide cancer for a long, long time.
Additionally (historically), craftsmen would not teach their skills without you being a member. Many of these used to be the first types of unions, and you had to be a member to get access to the certain job bidding knowledge, skills, etc.
If you wanted to work in some towns, you would only be allowed to work if you were a member. It was one way for early Americans to protect against cheap or poor quality labor.
Not justifying, that was just how it was.
Today with youtube and rumble, you can figure out how to do things, though it may not always be the best way, or it may leave out key nuance. And then you have garbage like those shows that teach house flipping, using particle board, Styrofoam, and junk to dress up a house just enough to sell then it falls apart.
Before the Internet, you had to invest time and effort to figure this stuff out and there were a LOT of gatekeepers. Apprenticeships were one of the easy ways to get this info, even if you had to join a club. Benefit was you gained a lot of access to that trade or social group.
Freaky. Why do people do this? Of what benefit is it to be a part of this weird cult?

Same. Even as an 18 year old just beginning his red pill journey I inherently knew a fraternity was nothing more than faggotry run amok.
I got to church for truth and to spread truth. Same reason I go here.

The only initiation I have ever been apart of or will be apart of was my baptism.

Well to be fair, every day of the week is named after something unGodly
It took us awhile, but our former church sure opened our eyes to so much, and not good.

Are you able to disclose anything that occurred during your initiation?
Yes. I’m not scared since I’m not a Mason. What do you want to know?
What seemed "weird" to you, if anything?
As a Catholic I am forbidden to join. Even the current hierarchy full of satanic spawn just reaffirmed this. But even if they endorsed the faggotry I have always known in my heart God would frown upon the act.
In this particular case they are practising keeping secrets and hiding bodies.
makes you wonder what secrets they have that are so damn important
Probably the bodies they hide, for one.

Yup God calla it Idolatry

Can't win for trying sometimes.
