  • Shriners Free Masons Islam

    I recently came across a posting in Facebook, where it speaks of Shriners and Free Masons, where it warns Shriners and Free Masons.

    Relationship between Free Masonry .
    Shriners and Free Masons

    “Excerpts from the Honorable Minister #Farrakhan: Saviours Day: 2011

    “Did you know that 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were #Freemasons? Now I’m going into your secrets for a minute.  Not you black #Mason and #Shriner, you don’t have any secret.  It’s the white #Masons and #Shriners that we are going to expose in a minute.

    Now listen to this. At least nine of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were Freemasons.  George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, James Monroe, John Jay, John Hancock, Paul Revere, John Paul Jones, and James Otis. Later on in 1870, out of #Freemasonry came a higher order of Masonry called the #Shriners.  Now the difference between the Masons and Shriners is that to be a Shriner you must be a Master Mason in good standing”.

    Keeping the secret of who the Black man is was the duty of every white Mason. Not the Black Mason or Shriner, because you were never told that the secret was all about you.  The white Masons and Shriners have always known the secret from Europe to America.   In Europe a Freemason understands the degrees and what it is to be a Master Mason.  They know something of the African origin of civilization. The advancements in Egypt and the great architectural genius of the Black man.  They learned all of that through their study of the original Bible that has always been locked away among the aristocracy.  ”

    Why this spewing of venom?

    Shriners are an ancient Arab Society and was established in 1870.

    They have 200 Temples/Chapters and are running Hospitals.

    Shriners International describes itself as a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. There are approximately 340,000 members from 195 temples (chapters) in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Mexico, the Republic of Panama, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Europe and Australia. On July 6, 2011, Shriners International commissioned Emirat Shriners of Heidelberg, Germany, as its 194th temple, and took the first steps toward forming a new temple in Mindanao, Philippines.[3] Eventually on July 3, 2012, Agila Shriners of Mindanao, Philippines was chartered as the 195th temple.

    Despite its theme, the Shrine is not connected to Islam. It is a men’s fraternity rather than a religion or religious group. Its only religious requirement is indirect: all Shriners must be Masons, and petitioners to Freemasonry must profess a belief in a Supreme Being. To further minimize confusion with religion, the use of the word “temple” to describe Shriners’ buildings has been replaced by “Shrine Center”, although individual local chapters are still called temples.

    Until 2000, before being eligible for membership in the Shrine, a person had to complete either the Scottish Rite or York Rite degrees of Masonry,[9] but now any Master Mason can join.[10]

    Shriners count among their ranks presidents, senators, local business leaders, professional golfers, country music stars, astronauts and racecar drivers.

    “They’re fraternal organizations. Originally many of them were what is known as “benevolent societies.” Back in the days before social security, welfare and life insurance, [we’re talking 1700’s here] groups of like minded people would join together and pool funds so that in the event that something happened to one of them [injury on the job, death, old age] there was a sort of fund set up to take care of the worker, or take care of their families. So, originally, the Masons were masons. The Odd Fellows were people who did odd jobs [so one legend of how they came to be goes]. There are more smaller groups all over the US and the UK like the Order of Red Men, the Loyal Order of the Golden North, the Order of Woodsmen. Many of the lodges have some sort of women’s auxilliary and the ones that are really thriving tend to have full-fledged female sister organizations. I may be getting some of the names off but that’s the general gist. Now that these organizations don’t serve the same “social safety net” purpose, many of them are dying out and have mostly older folks as members. However, many of the groups have a fair amount of funds both in dues collected over decades if not centuries as well as real estate holdings. You can see Odd Fellows and Masonic buildings in a lot of smaller towns, just look for the scales or the three links. Each group has their own pet charities. The Shriners take care of kids with a series of hospitals worldwide, the Odd Fellows run cemeteries and rest homes for their members and give scholarships to local kids. I don’t know about the Masons, but the Odd Fellows are very circumspect about their philanthropy, so a lot of their bequests can seem a bit on the secret side.”

    Funny how people find obscure points to fight?

    I have been curious about the Free Masons for the past 35 Years and though I have close relatives who are Free Masons I have not been able to get any information about them.

    Normal information is given out that Free Masons believe in Universal Brotherhood and that they engage in Charitable Activities.

    This is endorsed by the Free Masons themselves.

    However there is a lot of speculation Masons, ranging from that it is a Secret Society on the lines of Illuminati,New World Order,Skull and  Bones,Rosicrucians, Ordo Templis Orienti,Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn, The Knights Templar,The Bilderberg Group,The Priory of Sion and  Opus Dei.

    “The Grand Masonic Lodge was created in 1717 when four small groups of lodges joined together. Membership levels were initially first and second degree, but in the 1750s this was expanded to create the third degree which caused a split in the group. When a person reaches the third degree, they are called a Master Mason.

    Masons conduct their regular meetings in a ritualized style. This includes many references to architectural symbols such as the compass and square. They refer to God as “The Great Architect of the Universe”. The three degrees of Masonry are: 1: Entered Apprentice, this makes you a basic member of the group. 2: Fellow Craft, this is an intermediate degree in which you are meant to develop further knowledgeof Masonry. 3: Master Mason, this degree is necessary for participating in most masonic activities. Some rites (such as the Scottish rite) list up to 33 degrees of membership.

    Masons use signs and handshakes to gain admission to their meetings, as well as to identify themselves to other people who may be Masons. The signs and handshakes often differ from one jurisdiction to another and are often changed or updated. Thisprotects the group from people finding out how to gain admission under false pretenses. Masons also wear stylized clothing based upon the clothing worn by stone masons from the middle ages. The most well known of these is the apron.”

    The Book by John Robison presents a compelling case on Illuminati‘s hold over world affairs.

    The Book written 1798 presents the proofs of a conspiracy against all the religions and governments of Europe carried on in the secret meetings of Freemasons, Illuminati and Reading Societies.

    John Robison (1739–1805) was a Scottish physicist and mathematician. He was a professor of philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. A member of the Edinburgh Philosophical Society when it received its royal warrant, he was appointed as the first General Secretary to the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Robison invented the siren and also worked with James Watt on an early steam car. Following the French Revolution, Robison became disenchanted with elements of the Enlightenment. He authored Proofs of a Conspiracy in 1797—a polemic accusing Freemasonry of being infiltrated by Weishaupt’s Order of the Illuminati.”

    “According to some Masonic scholars, the Freemasons trace their roots to the building of King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem in 967 B.C., an event which was described in the biblical Book of Kings. In the story, the builders of the temple were the original stonemasons, and the forefathers of today’s Freemasons. The legend centers on the master builder—a man named Hiram Abiff—who claimed to know the secret of the temple. One day, three men kidnapped Abiff and threatened to kill him if he didn’t reveal that secret. When he refused to talk, Abiff was murdered. After learning of the killing, King Solomon ordered a group of Masons to search for Abiff’s body and bring back the secret of the temple. The men were unsuccessful, so the King established a new Masonic secret. His secret is believed to be the word “Mahabone,” meaning “the Grand Lodge door opened,” which is now the password used to enter the third degree of Masonry.”

    The information that the Free Masons were entrusted with the Secrets of the King Solomon’s Temple and they carried the secret( and are carrying) of Christ Mary Magdalene and Rosaline Line and are a force to reckon with in international Finance and Politics is gaining acceptance.This is reinforced by the fact that many world leaders and Financial giants are a part of Free Masonry and Illumianti.

    However the view that they are Satan Worshippers is difficult to digest despite videos showing Rituals.

    This information is also not verifiable.

    So we are back to square one, where we started.
