I’ve been balls deep into pretty much every and all conspiracies since I was 16. It all started when I started looking into 9/11 and the Freemasons controlling the media. Then I began to look into the dollar bill and all of the Masonic symbology.
I’m 30 now, and I realized I’m smart, and need to look into things for myself, rather than just reading what other people say online, because let’s face it, there ARE a lot of “schizo/crazy” people among all of the intelligent free thinkers of the conspiracy community.
I was just recently raised as a master mason at my local lodge. Why? I began doing my own research, went on their website, and saw they claimed they were simply an old fraternity focused on self improvement and being around other like minded men. I put in my email and had a member of my local lodge reach out. They invited me to check out the lodge, and see if I was interested.
These guys were all a bunch of super friendly older dudes, and let me explore EVERYWHERE. There wasn’t one door they wouldn’t let me see. And let me tell you, I’m not stupid. I know how to spot red flags and sketchy people. These guys were legit down to earth GOOD people.
This shattered my reality of what I thought I knew about “the Illuminati”. Because you still see celebrities doing the all seeing eye pose, and you still see things like the Masonic lodge donating to the Denver international airport.
My new perspective of freemasonry, is that it’s the perfect fraternity for every god loving patriot out there. There’s nothing satanic. It doesn’t promise a path to heaven.
Even towards the end of the 3rd degree, they say something like “while freemasonry offers you the tools to build a better life, it is not a guide book, this is your guidebook you are meant to follow”, and then they gave me a holy Bible.
It isn’t meant to be a replacement for religion.
There’s just so much misinformation about freemasonry it’s seriously insane. And it upsets me because too many of us are following legitimate conspiracies, that are being falsely led to point towards freemasonry.
I think there is a bigger group at play, that is maybe doing this intentionally.
Please don’t listen to “ex masons exposing the secrets”. It’s all bullshit. I know that video that’s gained popularity recently, like 5 hours long. This dude claims to be a mason, yet constantly says “they do this”, not “we did this”. Also, he doesn’t have any of the obligation memorized. He reads one he found leaked online. You HAVE to memorize the obligation before moving to the next degree, so every “ex mason” should know it.
Anyways, just figured I would spill some of my knowledge here, maybe someone will be interested. I’m permabanned from Reddit so can’t post there anymore
I agree it’s weird, but I mean, not THAT weird. I could see families wanting to do something like this
