With all this media attention lately about Freemasons, in books and movies, I thought it would be interesting to briefly mention several interesting books that may shed some light on Freemasonry, Masons, and our beliefs.
There has been a lot of mention lately of the Freemasons. In the two Dan Brown thrillers, The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, Freemasonry and secret societies play a big role. In the blockbuster motion picture National Treasure Freemasons are front and center in the plot.…

I remember hearing once from one of my classmates, that his father is a 3 degree Mason. He's African-American and I assume that he must be a Prince Hall Mason. Can African-American men only be Prince Hall masons?

Hi Markus, this a very informative site.
First, 3 degree means he is a Master Mason, the other degrees are entered apprentice and fellowcraft just like the old stonemasons. The Prince Hall Lodges are only for people of African background but - I'll call it regular Masonry - is open to any male over 21 years. Sure racism is alive and well in many places but the norm is that regardless of colour or creed it is how you are judged as a man for acceptance. There have been many, many, black men (regardless of fame) who have been welcomed to the craft. The only other qualification is that you must believe in a supreme being to be elligible for acceptance. I.E. Christians, Jews, Muslims and people of many other faiths are welcome. Athiests are not welcome.
One other thing. Freemasonry is a fraternity not a benevolence society, yet it goes without saying that freemasons probably create more wealth for charities than any other organization.

I've read all the interesting post about masonry, I myself am a mason, in fact i'm the first african american to be raised in an all white lodge, in washington DC.. The same lodge that holds the gavel of my masonic brother and first president..So if anyone tells you that if you are african american and the only lodge you can join is prince hall, tell them they are full of it..Thank you

My father was of the Blue Lodge. He always was proud to be Mason.Heck ,I was proud of him being a Mason. I have never gone into the Eastern Star(don't know why). My son is now going through his degrees to become a Master Mason and I am so proud of him, my only wish was for my father to still be here to see his only surviving grandson become a Mason.

Sharon L. Baxter... you don't know anything about freemasonry, it's disgusting, satanic, evil, the freemasons must be destroyed, they WILL be destroyed, they should shiver in fear right now, they know things will happen in these few years ahead, they will be destroyed along with all the other evil forces; the illuminati, skull & bones, bohemian grove, the trilateral commission, the bilderberg group etc. get your son out of that before it's too late, by becoming a free mason satan will have authority to do whatever he wants to in your and your son's life. Those rituals they do to become a mason is accepting satan in your lives. it's pure evil, satan

I thought I would throw my two shekels in on this. My father, may he rest in peace, was a Freemason and it saved his life at least once that I know of.
Tom, who has posted above a couple of years ago, was not exactly forthcoming. There are three basic levels of masonry, known as degrees. The vast majority of masons go to the third degree and stop. But Freemasonry has 33 or 34 degrees.
Much of Freemasonry revolves around ideas taken from the building of King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, but Freemasonry is not a Jewish organization at all.

If a group of masons has become corrupted and are attacking someone, harrasing to destroy that person for no reason at all only for ignorancy what will you do to handle the situation.

If a group of masons become corrupted attacking certain people what would you do about it.

Freemasons not a dangerous religion? People, you've got no idea of what freemasons really are. Maybe you only get in touch with 1st or 2nd degree masons, who themselves don't know shit about the real thing behind real freemasonry. The thing is that freemasons aren't just some dudes who like to hang out with each other in dark secret underground lodges. The higher you get in freemasonry, the more satanic loonatics you're going to find. The top of Freemasonry is at a degree of 33. Those people are not just freemasons anymore. They're part of a satanic elite called: the Illuminati. At the very top of the pyramide you'll find the all-seeing eye wich you can find on the back of your 1 dollar bill as well. The whole package is being led by 13 bloodlines wich are 13 families who've ruled the entire world through banking and deceiving for ages. These families are often Jewish banksters like Rothschild, Warburg, Oppenheimer, Schiff etc.. European Royal Families are included as well. The whole organisation is being led by a Jewish satanic ideology based on Kabala, ancient Egyptian mythology and satanism. I'm not being Anti-Semitic, it's just the truth. They own every single thing in the world, people included, or should I say Sheeple or Ghoyom. 99% of the world is enslaved by these nutballs. They're insane, I usually don't care, but these people are at the top of our governements.

You need to wake up and search for Freemasonry on the internet, cause that's the only place where Free-minded people can find useful info wich is not falsified or corrupted. Oh... another thing about the Freemasons: when they say God they don't mean God like the average person does, they see Satan as their real god and God God as the big enemy. Freemasons are the key of the problem. You can find the solution, you just need to have the will to search for it (the truth). Much luck, ciao.

You guys are nuts. Freemasonry is a fraternal organization of men who want to be good people that's all. If you want to look more into it, you are looney.

Freemason is evil. Destroying the minss of many.

Come on Tom, cut the bullshit. Come out of your shell and let's talk about what's really going on with freemasonry. Unless you're being used as a sheep like the rest of the sheeple as well. Infact it may even be so that you actually believe the bullshit you wrote above. Ha, what are you anyway? 1st, 2nd or 33rd degree, cause there're some big differences between the first 2 and the last 1.
If you got real cojones you speak the truth. Oh no wait... you can't clap out otherwise you're dead, right? like let's say Kennedy.
How old are you? What time is it? Do you also work at night? These seem to be regular questions, but they're being used among Freemasons as a secret code.
You know what Tom? Tell us more about the spiritual part of Freemasonry, tell us about Atlantis, superhumans and 3rd and 5th dimensions will ya.
(If you're a real mason of course.)

There is a darkened lean-to that exists down the hill from the Great White Lodge - where the current leader of the Illuminati and the matrix of the Priory of Sion hold ritualistic orgies and all - and in this lean-to reside the slavemasons. These poor sops were long ago indentured into servitude.
It happened when Herod was remodeling the Solomonic temple. Three Roman/Jewish knitters decided to start up a bricklaying company. They were Stabicus, Eyesayuh, and Bill. They couldn't get the job done on time and on budget so they talked to some freemason and he and his guys pitched in to do the work. The deal was eternal slavery for the knitters. Bill agreed to it because he was an idiot.
Anyway, the hour is quickly coming when the slavemasons (whose secret handshake is a poke in both eyes, just to spite the one-eyed pyramidical thing) shalt arise from their swiftly constructed abode and tear down the stones of the Lodge and impale the lord of the freemasons and wreak havoc unto his bowels and such. They just need a few more members. If you'd like to join their revolution, you're right out of luck. They have no website (being a "secret" society and all).
Beware. The storm comes upon ye stone worker types!
And here's my favorite quote of the decade:
"You need to wake up and search for Freemasonry on the internet, cause that's the only place where Free-minded people can find useful info wich is not falsified or corrupted."
Yeah, no corruption at all on the Internet! Only truth! Yeah!
And the truth shall set you free - I mean, and the Internet shall set you free.
Super. Hey, thanks, I haven't had this much fun in, like, three days. Cool.

Laugh all you want my friend, but you know the saying: he who laughs last laughs best.
Of course internet is corrupted, but since it's tough to control by Masonic guarddogs some of the info actually is true. There's wrong info and there's right info. The trick is to filter out the wrong from the right. Those who want to figure out more of the truth, use your minds and here's a push in the right direction: search at Google videos for:
" The Ring of Power", "History of Freemasonry" and "The Legend of Atlantis" (5 episodes). Or just try these links:
ring of power prt 1:
history of freemasonry:
the legend of atlantis
A day will come when all Masons will be eliminated, mark my words.
And you know what loser? this is my favorite quote:
"Speaking the truth in universal deceit is a revolutionary act"
George Orwell.

sorry, I mean: to filter out the right from the wrong info... (heheh big mistake)

Ha - it's quite interesting blog - I found it during a search for "michael jackson is a freemason". I've not seen many posts by actual freemasons on blogs but there appear to be a few here. I always find it fascinating that people swing on extremes - the Christians or 'conspiracy theorists' who have respectively been brainwashed with the exoteric dogma/reacted against the fake word we live in and come across sensationalist versions of the truth, they go on about satanism and elite brotherhoods who are taking over the world; the Freemasons themselves and the supporters of 'coincidence theory' (the 'mass' or the majority of humans who just trundle along with the fake reality which is inculcated into us) say, no, they are harmless boys clubs, and everything is simply 'evolving' and developing by chance as we go along and everything is just as it is presented by the media.
The fact is that both and neither situations are true. The fact is that as far as everything developing or 'evolving' by chance - nothing could be further from the truth. How much bureaucracy do you think it takes to create a global government? And if you think we don't then it will become quite clear in one way or another within the next fifteen years - just do a search for GLOBAL GOVERNANCE which is the official term for 'globalization' which is used at all the think-tanks, NGOs and the United Nations. Is that official enough for you? The world is run by forces behind the scenes. The majority don't even know that's the way it works but it becomes very evident with a little discernment and learning and simple observation really. Of course these critical abilities are removed from the majority of even intelligent people - it's an elegant system, it really is. And the majority of Freemasons are included in that profane mass so it's unsurprising that they do not know what's going on because they have not been INITIATED into the higher secrets pertaining to the GREAT WORK of perfecting THAT WHICH WAS LEFT IMPERFECT (humankind) by the GREAT ARCHITECT. Quite fascinating really.
