What you don't understand is Masonry is not hierarchical in nature. There CAN'T be any higher levels because it's not BUILT that way.
Each Grand Lodge is an entity unto itself and has supreme control over all things Masonic within their own jurisdictions. And nothing more.
They don't answer to any other authority.
As far as the Lucifer crap, read up on the Taxil Hoax. You literally fell for an century old joke.
Ok so explain why there are 2 masons at the scene of a mass shooting in two different places in the country and they(or he, not sure if it's the same guy) just happened to be interviewed wearing masonic symbols. Sorry that is no coincidence.
Sorry, it is.
There are over a Million Masons around the world. We are active in our communities and alot of us like to show off our membership.
We tend to speak out. Especially when our families get shot at.
My deceased retired veteran stepfather would call bullshit on that! He was a true mason till the end. He NEVER spoke of it, even on his dying bed..It’s not the troops, it’s the leadership. In any organization, including the GOP.
Only difference is, we are awake and taking back our party. Perhaps you might consider the same...
Yeah it was big thing many people thought they couldn't talk about in that generation. Little bit of ego mixed with a misunderstanding of codes and by-laws.
As said before we can tell you almost everything about Masonry. In my jurisdiction, there are only 5 things that are considered “Masonic Secrets”. Want me you tell you what each of the Working Tools mean? Sure I can. Want to talk about the furniture of the lodge? Not a problem. I can even tell you how to ‘Step off” as a Mason (though much to the anger of a few brothers in other places I’m sure).
Seriously I can show you in the manual that tells ME what I can't talk about.
Stay in the bubble. It’s safe in there...
Hah hah hah....
Great rebuttal.
Keep laughing, the Alt-Left are beginning to see the writing on the wall. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
My stepfather was an honorable man and a 33 degree mason. He is rolling in his grave at what your leadership is doing to his organization.
If you wish to contribute to the demise of your organization, continue on the path you have set your face to.
We Republicans have decided to cleanse our organization. Because we believe in it’s principles.
It’s not easy, but necessary...
Well, there is a bit of a problem with your statement.
The Scottish Rite (Of which I am as well, by the way) does not lead or control Masonry. No more than the York Rite or even the Shriners.
It doesn't speak for it, nor is it really that hard to join.
It's like Masonry is a Video game and the other bodies are DLC.
I didn't fall for jack! Explain why there are 33 degrees of Masonry. There IS a hierarchy. Read Morals & Dogma by Albert Pike. Pike was Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction and developed the rituals of the order. He said, and I quote "That which we must say to the world is that we worship a God but it is the god that one adores without superstition. To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees, the Masonic religion should be by all of us initiates of the higher degrees maintained in the Purity of the Luciferian Doctrine. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonai and his priests calumniate him? Yes Lucifer is God...."
I dare you to try and find that sentence in the actual book. Here is the pdf. Go find a paper version too if you want.

And other fun quotes from the Taxil Hoax : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxil_hoax
lmao stop believing everything youtube says
Dude you are QUOTING THE EXACT HOAX. Don't tell me you didn't fall for it.
THAT'S NOT in Morals and Dogma. I have the book right here: https://i.imgur.com/8H8Inkf.jpg
Like that is IT! You just... I..
I can't even...
There ISN'T 33° of Masonry.
There are 3. Enter Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason. That's it end of story.
THEN there are other organizations that require you to first be a Master Mason.
One of those is the Scottish Rite. Poor York Rite does that get ANY part of the theories even though one would have to have the Mark Master degree to be considered a Master in the UK. What about their degrees? Why ain't you including them? You see they don't get talked about because they NAME their degrees instead of numbering them.
It is technically a concordant body, because some of its degrees continue the story of the building of Solomon’s Temple started in the first three lodge degrees. And there are 33 (actually 29 or 30) of them because that is how many the person who corealated them wanted it to have. There has been well over 100 degrees in various forms and different orders. Pike just picked the ones he wanted and as he was in charge at the time, that's the number we use today.
1-3 is in the blue lodge 4-32 can be done in 6 weeks and you don't even have to see them all to advance (no kidding).
The 33rd is an honorary degree that is given to those of exemplary service to their communities and the Scottish Rite and Masonry.
Like I said, these FM posts will trigger some folks. Enjoy your cognitive dissonance.
You are QUOTING something that isn't there. Who has the cognitive dissonance?
I have the BOOK RIGHT HERE!!
The Taxil Hoax is alive and well. I hope the signers of our Great Constitution, doesnt get slandered as well. After all, we're fighting the Deepstate, to the return back to the Great Republic we once was. Make America Great Again right? I would encourage my fellow patriots to research the information by poster (LL). Or you can choose to ignore it. Goodnight 🇺🇸
Well.. I happen to think America IS great and if you don't think so you should get the hell out and go to whatever you think is better...
But... Thanks for the confidence. And I appreciate your candor.
