As a freemason myself I am always willing to listen to these statements for a couple reasons:
I want to see if there is something i am overlooking or missing from my experience which has seen absolutely 0 evidence of satantic worship, satanic ritual or other evilness within the lodge or pervasive amongst members
I want to see if they even know what theyre talking about.
Right off the rip this lady ruins her credibility. To be a shriner you DO NOT have to be a 32nd degree or 33rd degree mason. In fact those two things are entirely unrelated as everyone starts in a local lodge known as “blue lodge”. There you receive the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and ultimately the Master Mason degree. After that you are able to join appendant bodies such as Scottish Rite (where you can receive degrees 4-32), York Rite (which has a number of degrees that have names but not numbers), Shriners, or The Grotto. You can join any of them, all of them, or none of them. And none of the degrees of appendant bodies make you any “higher up”. They are considered supplemental degrees or “horizontal degrees”.
I am not discounting this lady’s personal experience but it may just be that her dad was a shitty person and had another shitty friend who were also masons. Its not like masons are different that all other demographics. There are good guys and not good guys and the point of masonry is to make good men better but some men are not good people regardless of what fraternities they join.
Anyway, I’m sure yall will flame me and try to say “you dont know anything because of this reason or that” but im a freedom loving Christian American just like a lot of people here just trying to shine some light instead of innuendo lies and misconceptions about all this.
What degree are you?
I am a Master Mason and i have also received all of the degrees of York Rite.
Only Scottish Rite really has a numbering system with the degrees but no one is a 4th degree and someone else a 15th degree and someone else a 20th degree and so on. This is because when you through Scottish Rite (or even York Rite for that matter) you receive all the degrees at once or over the course of a couple days at a Scottish Rite field day when all the candidates watch the degrees as observers who place themselves in the same place as the candidate. So everyone goes to those and comes out a 32nd degree mason. 33rd degree is an honorary degree that you only receive upon recommendation of others usually for your own individual contributions of volunteer work and charity work.
Only the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason degrees are performed separately for every single person individually.
Seriously just ask yourself: why is any of that shit necessary in your life? Is it really vital to go through all that feldercarb to feel good about yourself? Does that somehow make you a better person? Righteousness is between you and God, not silly secret handshakes and all that crap. I can understand maybe joining Toastmasters or something for networking or whatever, but what you are describing is already shady enough as it is. Focusing on rituals is what Christ came to set us free from. At best, what you've got is like a silly fraternity. Apparently you cannot apply to become a 33rd degree. You have to be selected for it when they see some quality in you. By the recommendation of others, as you say.
As for evidence of Satanism, there are already plenty of resources about this. The Satanism isn't revealed until one is selected for the 33rd degree. There was a video from a few years back of some Australian musician who went public about Freemasons, showing the texts and everything.
Like i said the 33rd degree is honorary and its only in Scottish Rite which is just one of numerous appendant bodies. No one is required to join it and it doesnt make you higher up. And because its honorary there is no actual degree for it. And theres no reveal of satanism and the truth is just that its not some sinister org as you wish it were
