Post The Anti Mason

What drives the anti mason?
Is it quotes from Albert Pikes morals and dogma ?
Which probably hasn't been read by any of them. If they had they would see it is in a very different light.
Is it an inferiortity complex that makes on envious of others who have chosen to seek enlightenment through making oneself better through masonry ?
Being lackadaisical is just easier than actually getting out and helping ones fellow beings in there community.
Or just a fad of people who are lazy and have as there hobbie bashing those who aren't ?
You know the type who spend all there waking hours looking up the lastest way in which the are being controlled by unseen forces, rather than taking control themselves.
What about those who feel man cannot commune with god unless he has an itermediary ( the church)to ensure his enlightenment stays within acceptable bounds ?
This has been the preffered method of control of thought by those in the know for millenia.The minions of this institution are so jealous of those who may seek god on there own they would commit all kinds of evil and attrocities in the name of there god in order to stop you from finding the light. The light which is quickly dangled before you and is just as quickly snatched away as to keep them on the hook as if a crack addict.

For your consideration

I must go as my family is my # 1 priority.

Re: The Anti Mason

Psychiatrists make a distinction between the milder paranoid personality disorder and the more debilitating delusional (paranoid) disorder.

The hallmark of this disorder is the presence of a persistent, non-bizarre delusion without symptoms of any other mental disorder.

Delusions are firmly held beliefs that are untrue, not shared by others in the culture, and not easily modifiable.

Paranoid people's mistrustfulness makes treatment of the condition difficult. Treatment with appropriate antipsychotic drugs may help the paranoid patient overcome some symptoms. The regular opportunity to express suspicions and self-doubts afforded by psychotherapy can help the paranoid patient function in the community. Even though their paranoid views are apparently unshakable, various treatments appear effective in improving social functioning, so that they do not often require lengthy hospitalization.

Re: The Anti Mason

There is a group that I would not consider in need of drugs or doctors. They are the bored ignorant that need a little excitement in their lives by creating enemies and shadows everywhere. They love conspiracy theories and need to believe them.

If your trust has been betrayed by "friends, family, a significant other," the police or some government institution why would you trust some group you know nothing about? Many of these people are not delusional or crazy. They are just lost. The paranoid need the comfort of their "fairy tales" too.

For those who choose to NOT strive to better themselves, or those afraid to, there exists a propensity to drag others around them down to their level. That way, elevating oneself takes little work. It's artificial elevation, but it works for those who won't work for themselves.

Re: The Anti Mason

My Brothers,

I think the problem is deeper then just a disturbed mind. First, consider the tenor our their retoric. They believe themselves on the only path of righteousness. They are religious (or in some case non-religious) fundementalist. Nearly all real evil is done in the name of nationalism and fundemental beliefs. Nazi Germany and Muslim Extreme Iran both fall squarely into that group.

They don't hate because it is rational, they hate because their belief can't exist without an object to focus their evil actions, hate of something...generally it is hate of something or someone they can't infiltrate or control, someone who is on a better path and working on getting things right.

The only difference, IMHO between any fundenmentalist movement and a cult is the koolaid flavoring.

The right for every man to worship as he sees fit is basic to living life, the right to exist and florish to the best of your ability is closely linked to the right to worship and finally the right to seek happiness and security for your family rounds out the basic set of what every person in the world has a reasonable expectation to be granted by god and his fellow men.

When the rights of one man are deminished, the rights of all are likewise reduced. That is why we as men and masons support more light and freedom, and any person or group of persons who wishes to see bad in that has his (or her) eyes closed by some evil far greater than just a sick mind.

I pray for groups like EMFJ because they are being lead from the path of enlightenment for the sake of some evil force, and they are asleep at the wheel,which makes then willing lambs for the demon.

In my life, I see good men working on a path to being better men and the things needed to help me and others on their quest are found in forums like this and research of the histories of our orders. I doubt if the Anti-masons can boast anywhere near the real research we have on this subject. Until they do, I am afraid I can't waste valuable time on their pulp fiction.

S&F,

Re: The Anti Mason

EMFJ? Who and what are they?

I think you are referring to a whole other kind of anti-Mason. A much more extremist kind with hate in their hearts. Most anties are just plain ignorant. We should feel sorry for them. Most of these people are loners and not attached to an organized group. Computer geeks that love conspiracy theories. Maybe I am being naive.

Ya if you find yourself in a group of zealots and they start handing out Kool Aid get the hell out of there. Truth be told, there are extremists in every group known to man including, unfortunately, our beloved Freemasons. A cult generally wants something from its "followers" oftentimes $ and free labour. Very capitalist in nature. They offer "love" and acceptance in return to the lost. Usually, in cults, the leader(s) do not believe what they are preaching to their "creatures." It is when the leader starts believing in his own cult of personality or in the crap he feeds to his minions that we are in trouble.

Do you know of any organized groups that are seriously against us?

Hi Jamie,

Look at the Ex-masons for Jesus. They are one group who hold the end of freemasonry as their only goal.

Re: The Anti Mason

Although this post is here and discussing the "anti mason" we should note that we are to be tolerant to all. Even if they are not. And if they are not, especially EMFJ, their sin will be that which shines bright and they will be judged.

Re: The Anti Mason

Ignoring them is the right path until their actions become more than just words, then you reach out and smite them with Thor's Hammer.
