Freemasony on Vision TV

Has anyone else seen this documentary tonight? Am I suppose to believe that this is a harmless gathering? They are coming out with the intention to say that this is a simple brotherhood. They can't hide it anymore, so they are trying to make a doc about how it is suppose to be a good thing. But, they're only talking about the 1st 3 degrees.

I'm still watching the doc. More comments to follow.

Of course they are only going to show the first three degrees, (sounds like a pop group), because they are the foot soldiers and nothing of masonic substance is revealed to them. This organisation repeatedly tries to portray itself as harmless but in truth is something else.

And how do you KNOW this?

While Freemasons aren't my favorite people because of their secrecy, I don't think they're as bad as conspiracy theorists put them out to be.

I guarantee you that the Illuminati will be brought up in the next 24 hours.

Of course, they can only show the first three degrees because that is ALL of the degrees that exist in Freemasonery. Beyond three (the 4th -33rd) are degrees of the Shriners - a separate fraternity which DOES require all members to be dues paying Masons. Nevertheless, they are separate.
I posted a lengthy piece on this elsewhere a few months ago.
Dangerous? Perhaps. The moral equivalency and 'universalism' in both these organizations is losing ground fast. I predict they'll be extinct in a generation or two.
We've more to worry over elsewhere, methinks.

yeah because things that have been around since the middle ages, and still exist, die out in a couple of generations, especially groups such as the masons who are avid recruiters for their "fratenity"
think about it

Don't be so quick to believe Freemason propaganda about itself. They haven't "been around since the middle ages". The earliest known records of it date back to 1717, and the first Church Council wich condemned it was in Cyprus in 1815.
We shouldn't feed the Freemasons' delusions about themselves.
