I’ve been tempted to become a Freemason because I’m interested in what the modern world has inherited from the ancients and the lodge is probably the last male space left in the Western world (I’ve no sympathy for women decrying the trannie invasion of female space and sports).

The source of Freemasonry is probably antediluvian and connected to Tubal-Cain whose Masonic symbol is 007. After the Flood, Nimrod seems to have inherited the Craft as well as the garments (translated as aprons) that God made for Adam and Eve.
"I’ve been tempted to become a Freemason because I’m interested in what the modern world has inherited from the ancients"
Being a true follower of Christ and being a Freemason are mutually exclusive. I cannot emphasize this enough.
Plus , would you really join an organization that refuses to make it clear to you what their main activity is? Surely not.
"and the lodge is probably the last male space left in the Western world"
There are masonic lodges for women. Plus some jurisdictions (outside of the UGLE's jurisdiction there are lodges that accept both male and female applicants. At some point UGLE would follow suit.).
"The source of Freemasonry is probably antediluvian and connected to Tubal-Cain whose Masonic symbol is 007"
Not really.
"the garments (translated as aprons) that God made for Adam and Eve."
It's much less exciting: the aprons resemble the aprons used be medieval stonemasons who built cathedrals. Simple as that.

Of course you are. You're number 6 after all right?

This is a very long video, which I haven't finished watching yet:


It is over 5 hours long, but the Aussie who made it is easy to listen to and the whole thing is geared toward beginners/newbs. You don't really have to watch the whole thing, or if you took a month to get through it, like 1 hour + per week, that would be fine. Gives a good and accurate introduction to what Freemasonry is actually about, not the ostensibly do-gooder front group that people pledge to, which is still really creepy just going to one of their open houses.

My father was a Mason as well as a Christian. I love the speculation and conspiracy theories by people who have never been asked to join or don't know anyone who is a member or who are not a member themselves. Keep up the good work guys!
Two year old quote, but maybe he and others don't know that Masons are instructed not to discuss the lodge with non-members, and especially not with family, so usually immediate family members have the least knowledge about their father/brother/son's involvement with Masonry and what it means, the only exception being if their wife is in Eastern Star or their children are also initiated.

Christians believe that Jesus was both human and divine ('perfect God, perfect man') - this is referred to as the Hypostatic Union. Freemasonry and Christianity are absolutely INCOMPTIBLE as Freemasons deny the DIVINITY of Jesus Christ. Freemasons believe that there "are many ways to God" and that Jesus was just a great teacher (comparable to Moses, Mohammed, Buddha, Confucius etc.) This belief system is completely at odds with Christianity. In the New Testament the 'anti-Christ' is identified as anyone who denies the DIVINITY of Jesus. Freemasonry is an 'anti-Christ' belief system!

I also posted this in another thread, but it's useful for those interested in Freemasonry, read this book!

Alright so I've finished Michael Witcoff's excellent little book on the Masons and their lies. To be honest it was somewhat of a slow start for me, as I knew a lot in the starting sections of the book already. When it really captured my interest was when Michael started a heartfelt and thoroughly researched and substantiated apologetic for the Church versus the masonic teachings. I appreciated his ability to capture sometimes rather abstract sentences in excellent examples, outlining the point he was making. I really took a lot of spiritual value, which I didn't expected beforehand, and first and foremost see another inch deeper how Satan works to deceive people, in this case my intellectually appealing gooblygoo. Albert Pike is extensively quoted and I researched quite a lot about kaballah so I was aware of these trains of thoughts, but boy it looks like these people are on acid when they write. Incoherent, sometimes self contradictory, almost always long sentences going everywhere which I hardly assume they themselves understand, it really just outlines the consistency of Orthodox theology and teachings of the Church and then especially the continuity between the Old and New Testament for so far I'm aware of it.

Bottom line is that it got clear as day to me how an occult order such as the freemasons could become so influential (emphasis on earthly gain, power, influence, self help, personal development) and that amid a word salad washing machine of texts they can easily be undercover cloaks for a real powerhungry/self worshipping entity looking for social progress by their own terms, whatever it means.

In conclusion it became very evident to me that one source of universal, objective truth can only be found in a thought system such as (Orthodox) Christianity, or another religion with a God that is separate from men/the world. Without a grounding in objective principles man is just reacting to influences outside of him, spiritual, social, material, time bound in the Zeitgeist of the day, influenced by his own passions etcetera.

Overall excellent read with also many seeds of spiritual value. Reads pretty easily too.

This was my first entrance into this topic to be honest a couple of months ago. Takes some time but just watch it in an evening and you'll understand the basics. Fantastic introduction and well done by Altiyan Childs. Then dive into the book I posted above and you'll be an ''expert'' :) Regarding the Altiyan video, for me it was especially shocking to see how obvious the symbolism is among those in power, politicians and especially people like popstars/celebrities, of whom the very influential are almost sure to be incorporated into this system. Once you see it you can't unsee it anymore.

Wasn't Stalin a russian National frontman/patsy for the communists though ?

I've heard talk of people saying he tried to revert some of the damage that had been done via jewish communism later in life and the bolsheviks attempted to assasinate him.

not sure how true that is though

He probably had Ashkenazi blood but he reversed a lot of the Bolshevik social policies such as abortion, women in the workforce and the abolition of the family. He ordered the assassination of Trotsky (the man the banks wanted to replace the Roman kings) and the so-called show trials were against anarchists (known as nihilists in the USSR and by Albert Pike). A defendant of the show trials was the Jew Bêla Kuhn who formed the progressive Hungarian state but who fled to the USSR after the Fascist reaction. After the war he adopted National Socialist art as Soviet Realism to counter the abstract expressionism of the CIA. He also pulled the USSR out of the UN and denounced cosmopolitanism. Henceforth the CIA would use Trotsky and anarchist factions to form the 1960s New Left, which is now the anti-Putin establishment.

I can't seem to find that book anywhere. I thought, being old, it might be available online in pdf format.
It seems that (((they))) do not like this book. I thought there would be used copies on abebooks, but nothing doing. I got my copy from OMNI Christian Book Club years ago. I think I'll write to them & request a catalogue. If I try looking at their site the computer warns me that it's dangerous. I think this is likely nonsense but I'll not take a chance. I did manage to find a copy on Archive.org by typing in the title alone, The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled; I'd tried the author's name & they professed not to have anything by him, why this is who knows. There's also a copy in the original Spanish on a blog, Cruxetlibris.blogspot.

I have been reading about the Hellfire Club in the British Isles in the 18th century. From Wikipedia:

Such clubs were rumoured to be the meeting places of "persons of quality"[2] who wished to take part in socially perceived immoral acts, and the members were often involved in politics. Neither the activities nor membership of the club are easy to ascertain. The clubs were rumoured to have distant ties to an elite society known only as The Order of the Second Circle

This is interesting:

After his Club was disbanded, Wharton became a Freemason, and in 1722 he became the Grand Master of England.

So here we have a man who actively participated in blasphemous rituals, became a mason and rose to the top?
