The Masonic Hall at 85 Crown St, Aberdeen
Aberdeen Scotland, the home of the Hollie Greig scandal boasts one of the oldest Masonic Lodges in the world, dating back to 1670. The Masons in Scotland were the descendants of the Knights Templar, which had migrated to Scotland after they were driven underground in Europe by the French Inquisition. It was the Templar Knights that assisted William Wallace when he defeated the English. William Wallace also suffered a horrible death that invoked all of the curses of a traitor to Freemasonry.
"Master Masons promise not to cheat, defraud, or do violence to a Master Mason. They promise not to commit adultery with the wife of a Master Mason or seduce his sister, daughter, or other female relative. These promises only apply to fellow Master Masons. They do not protect non-Masons, Entered Apprentices, or Fellow Crafts and their families.
Masons are required to tell lies and even perjure themselves to protect other Masons. They are also required to obey even orders which they know to be immoral:
"You must conceal all the crimes of your brother Masons, except murder and treason, and these only at your own option, and should you be summoned as a witness against a brother Mason be always sure to shield him. Prevaricate [falsify], don't tell the whole truth in his case, keep his secrets, forget the most important points. It may be perjury to do this, it is true, but you're keeping your obligations, and remember if you live up to your obligation strictly, you'll be free from sin." (Edmond Ronayne, "Masonic Handbook," page 183)

Well thats a load of Cr@p. First off your assumption that 95% of all Masons are of the lower levels is false. All Master Masons are on the level and none are higher than a Master Mason. All the Scottish Rites and York Rites are appendant bodies that are not higher then anyone.
ReplyDeleteSecond Masons are obliged to follow the moral code, that would include all members of the human family not just Masons families.
Third your obnoxious post from Ronayne is of a known Anti-Mason who like a small handful of other religious intolerants left masonry to defame it. of course like Jim Shaw all his claims have been debunked and proved false. So the quote you use from his book is not part of any ritual and is just a blatant lie.
