I would call bs on this story if I heard it too but I ran into the natl head of the IOOF at an independent Baptist church. I started talking to him before church and he said he wanted to talk afterward, he literally was recruiting to his cult inside of church. I played it out because I knew of them and their connections, is it bragging if you're anonymous ? but I'm fearless in some ways when it comes to their ilk, anyway as I was expecting he started talking about the duality of God w me and I just let it play out but continued to just fight him w scripture. He asked me if I wanted to check out his house and for whatever reason I said yes, it was down the street from where I was so sort of felt safe. By the way I was living in Elkins WV at the time. 8 or so yrs ago. Fairly small town… I went in his house and it was baphomet stuff everywhere. He also had trinkets and collectibles out of his ears because he was telling me that when ppl join the org they sign over all of their assets upon death so basically the org has been inheriting estates since of IOOF members for a very long time. So he basically gets to rummage through all of their stuff when they die. I only hung out w him that once and it was only out of curiosity. I wanted to see his recruitment play out, I had read about them for so long and it's not every day you get to game their leader. They have a big rare cattle farm in Elkins WV as well.
i know interesting rsch actually, was surprised too. Theyre pretty much masons, same Solomon(and older) metaphysics and duality of God teachings ya know. They're all under the same umbrella w the top of the pyramid families.
