I wanted to thank you, Don, many years ago for challenging the idea that Freemasonry welcomed men from all faiths and religious backgrounds (during his retrieval my grandfather told me there were Masons who believed in reincarnation). You were certain the Masons were a Christian organization, from your associations with Masons in the state of New York. So I contacted the highest Mason in New York, via email, and his answer made it clear that all religious faiths were welcomed..from Wicca to Hinduism to Christianity to Islam, ect. Membership only required that every man possess a belief in a supreme being. He said they were not a religious organization but a brotherhood of men seeking to be better men. I couldn't get you to continue to post in that thread after posting his response to my inquiry, but it served to further bolster the certainty that I had indeed received previously unknown information while in the afterlife, which I was later able to verify in the physical as being true.

Don, no amount of information gathered from anything I do in the afterlife will ever do for you, what you can and hopefully will do, for yourself. Perhaps you have a strong foundation of faith and you don't need to gather proof of an afterlife. For whatever reasons I had to prove to myself through first-hand experience that there was so much more to life than just this physical one. It was a struggle...and if your faith has given you inner peace and love and a knowing of life eternal, bravo!


Much love,

Ginny

Search "freemason" and "Reptilian" and see if any of the articles make sense.

I'm weary of things such as initiation rituals.

Perhaps there are some who seek to control the masses through various institutions.

Ginny,

Orders like the Masons and Eastern Star perform a lot of loving service for the community.  I just performed a funeral service for Sally whose family was active in Eastern Star, a sister order of the Mason's.  The Eastern Star ladies wore standard uniforms and performed a beautiful ritual in honor of Sally. 

btw, a few days later, I performed a memorial service for a WW2 veteran, Jim.  The local vet group wanted to perform and explain the folding of the U.S. flag ritual, followed by the playing of taps and a 7-gun salute.  Well, 7-gun salutes have been performed at graveside services I've led and the shots were a mild pop.  So I asked my ushers to open the from doors, so the people could hear the shots clearly.  Well, the shooters were just outside the doors and some people were sitting just 20+ ft. away.  The shots were like cannon blasts, so loud that some of the women screamed and the people outside by the nearby hotel and McDonalds must have thought there was a major gun fight near our church!  Fortunately, several cops were in the audience, so no one got in trouble.  Sigh! And Jim' s family wept with joy because they knew Jim (a gun nut) would have loved the ceremony.

"It gets so bizarre that you just can't make this stuff up.  What's even more frightening is that some people actually believe it!"

Fiery red with sssseven headssss, pre-life + life + afterlife, Fox News being fair and balanced, beliebers, we are more than bodies, some believe they can fly, some beLIEve that the early worm gets to be eaten by the bird. Have you found something new under the sun, Roger, or just easily scared?

Rog,

Now wait a minute! Forget Barbara. What about the our House Minority Leader?!?!


Ginny

R, I don't find it scary. Has this person claimed to meet a reptilian or something perceived as a reptilian? Read about it on the internet and joined the bandwagon? I don't know. What you quoted at least contains several assumptions, which boils down to a belief. BeLIEf. Think they have weird beliefs? Try talking with a christian. Or if that doesn't fancy you, there's always the possibility of talking about decorating the yuletide tree with christmas decorations.

Lars,

You sound very much like someone named Carl or possibly Harvey?  What would be the point in giving a personal name like that on the forum?  You can find out that Mason's are open to anyone who believes in a supreme creator (not just christians) by reading any text on free masonry.  Even online encyclopedias.   So what gives?  Why come here if this "New Age" stuff is not your cup of tea?
