Bex,
I certainly don't mean to offend you by posting this picture, but I remember seeing the video this picture was taken from some time ago on television.
I have no doubt that you are a devout Christian, and I have no doubt that many Catholics are very devout as well.
I will continue and say that Mormons are among the nicest people I have met. They are family-oriented, kind, and have been some of the nicest people I've had acquaintance with.
I will continue and say that Free Masons can also be great people. They can be community-oriented and beneficent and great family-oriented helpers to society.
However...
Problems arise when you take a look at deep doctrines. When you take the time to do this, you begin to see the true nature of any organization. It is as Christ said, "Seek and ye shall find".
The same can be said about the relationships people in many different nations.
Do you really believe that most of the people in Russia want to have war with the U.S.?
Do you really believe that most governments carry out the will of the common people?
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."-- Reichsmarshall Herman Goering, Nuremberg Trials, 18 April 1946.
Should it surprise us that the only country that voted against the Lisbon Treaty is the only country that makes this decision by popular vote while all other countries that approved it have no such popular representation?
I know very well that some part of truth offends us all. The difference between children and adults is our ability to examine ourselves and overcome our initial emotional reaction to an offense and then change ourselves, not expecting truth to bow its knees to our emotional ambitions.
Yes, truth offends us all.
If we maintain the personal humility that enables us to be gracefully broken, we shall find grace indeed. But if we stubbornly oppose truth in pursuit of our emotional ambitions, we find a different fate.
"Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."
(Luke 20:18)
My beloved grandmother lived next door to the catholic church in my home town. She worked tirelessly in the church for decades. She devoted herself to the people and the institution there more then anyone I've ever seen or known. When she died, her entire house and connected apartments and land were all willed to the church. Her house is today, the catholic store.
My first memories of "church" were Sunday school in that same building. I was christened in a catholic church. Most of my religious step family also attends and has lifelong devotion to the same.
Bearing all this in mind, I know well that the people of the church or the beneficent acts of the church, or of the mormons, or of the masons, display a grand show of helps to family and community.
Starting with my own roots in the Christian church, I came to learn that the Bible reveals what we need to know to discern the times, yet, the modern church has fallen away. The apostasy and apathy are mind-boggling in relation to scriptural mandates, but, I attended for years, and benefited as well.
Studying mormonism for nearly 2 years enabled me to see the amazing parallels with Scottish Rite Masonry, which are shockingly parallel to Jewish kabbalistic mysticism, an art wholly repugnant to the Bible.
Studying the Bible for decades has enabled me to spot the fundamental issues in which these institutions are in direct opposition to the Bible. Again, I'm not speaking about the common people. I'm speaking about the deep doctrine, the root, the core. Remember, this deep doctrine is written by the leaders.
The pope is claimed to be the vicar ("in place of") Christ, in Christ's absence. My Biblical studies have shown the the Holy Spirit is the Vicar of Christ. Satan was the most popular Biblical character who wanted to sit on the mercy seat, that is, he wanted to be in place of Christ—that is—antechrist ("in place of Christ").
I have studied both sides of the opinions dealing with the Biblical prophecies about the city on seven hills, and have found the one condemning Rome far superior. The declaration of Vatican City as the third supra-state by Reagan is a revealing milestone in Bible prophecy. The two other related entities are Washington, D.C. and the financial district of London. All entities centrally sporting the infamous obelisk that is so significant in occultism.
Books have been written on the subject, and for those who are truly truth seekers, they are worth reading. Let's put our bias aside and seek the truth on these matters.
I love and admire catholics. I have loved and missed mormons. I know masons who are beloved by friends and family as well. Persons from all of these groups have been great contributors to society and anchors to community.
Let us all grow in unity by confessing our brotherhood and sisterhood to each other, not to some named system that continues to defend it's name and position by making lofty claims. (There is only One deserving to make a lofty claim.)
And if we desire to know if these lofty claims are true, then seek out the truth behind them. I have, and I have found that when the veil of the temple was torn, there was no longer a barrier between us and God. There was only a Bridge that enables us all to enjoy a personal relationship with the Creator who has sought our best interest from the beginning.
In my studies, I have found that most lofty systems, no, nearly all lofty systems, do little more in time but become devices used by evil to divide us so deeply that evil can then use our emotional ties and connections to our beloved organizations and lofty systems (idols) to cause us to kill each other, steal from each other, and destroy each other.
This very truth runs so deeply that even the Bible itself prophecies—in no uncertain terms—that the church itself would become corrupt in the end times and be used to accomplish the purposes of evil.
Yes, I believe once we begin to call ourselves by the name of some organization, we risk our own destruction in due time, even as we witness it happening today.
The best thing we can do is call ourselves Christians to display the fact that we have been blessed with sufficient passion and discipline to put in the time to study (knowledge...), and that we have been blessed with the insight (...leading to faith) to discover the one true Path to the Creator.
We need to think critically ("A spiritual man discerns—judges—all things."), remove all idols from us, and most of all, remember that our brotherhood and sisterhood is defined by the torn veil that enabled us all to enter the holy-of-holies and commune with Yahweh without any need for any human intervention, save One.
If I have posted any material here that is incorrect or inaccurate, I am glad for people to point it out to me. I will look into it and find out if these things are so, and any material that is in error will be removed.
Likewise, I expect anyone who finds they wrongfully claimed that material is inaccurate, to confess their mistake and take action in their own life to correct it.
I am ready and willing to have friendly conversation about any points made in my above posts in an organized and prudent way.
Concerning the Ron Paul video, we need to realize the nearly all people in positions of power (or who have the ability to influence) are playing roles of "controlled opposition".
Ron Paul could have blown open the vote fraud felony that was blatantly taking place, but instead, he chose to bow out "gracefully" enabling this fraud to go unnoticed by most people. (This is exactly the kind of situation that controlled opposition is used for.)
We have to realize that all sides of nearly all positions—both good and bad—are controlled by the same "side" today. This is where the term "controlled opposition" comes from.
All things are not as they seem.
When we were studying politics in the mid 90's, we found that "conservative" talk show host Rush Limbaugh was doing nothing more than playing the role of a "social counterbalance". This is a person who voices the opinion of the "opposition" loudly. This "voicing" actually has the effect of neutralizing those who agree with the position.
Yes, the fact is, when you hear your opinion being announced loudly and clearly, you are much less apt to get involved in supporting your position because you "feel" like something is being done in favor of your position. Your anger is appeased. Of course, this belief (that something is being done in support of your position) simply enables your opposition to overpower your position because of your inactivity.
The line from the movie "V for Vendetta" is one of the truest things ever spoken about the political relationship:
"They (the opposition) know you better than you know yourself."
This is true and enables them to control you. This is why I often encourage people to know themselves.
Concerning the video showing Ron Paul performing a masonic handshake: I watched this video many times before posting it. I saw no indication that it had been altered.
Whether a person likes Ron Paul or not, I believe everyone should have the right to know if he publically shakes hands using the masonic handshake. The fact that he does this is not necessarily stating that he is a bad guy, but this information should—nevertheless—not be suppressed (The same stands true about the catholic inverted cross). To do so would make us the very thing we despise: Liars.
People should be allowed to have all the evidence and then make up their own minds.
If anyone can show me evidence that the video has been manipulated to show this handshake, I will gladly remove the video. Far be it from me to promote false information.
I am interested in one thing and I have only one agenda:
Truth.

But the upside down crosses still come off as most likely modified, as I don't know how they would get away with that one as I was aware since I was little that an upside cross was a symbol of Satan.
(emphasis mine)
Today, they are blatantly spraying the skies with poisons and killing people, yet, the majority don't "notice". How do they get away with that?
The catholic church is replete with occult symbolism, as is the mormon church and masonic temples. How do they get away with that?
We are all blind to some degree. Part of growing up is removing this blindness.(This includes me, which is why I am always open to correction.)
Losing our blindness is not an easy thing to do, yet, God expects us to be courageous men and women.
These are pictures I took today. Most people write this off as normal. I have been watching the skies for 30 years. This is far from normal, yet, they get away with it.

Ya, I replied to a thread called "This is Why I Call Them "Rock Star Politicians" Where Russ posted a video that was full of altered pictures, and it was related to the New World Order if I remember correctly.
Its not a good thing to do if you want people to take you seriously...
In that post, located here:

I know photoshop very well and could easily pickup the fact that many of those pictures were modified.
Photoshop is a program used for modifying still images. (I use it myself and have it installed on this very computer). The post in question begins with a video that initially contains Ron Paul performing a masonic handshake... twice.
There is nothing else in that video that I can see (easily) that has been modified. If you see it, just let me know at what time it occurs. Then, it should be a relatively small matter to find the original photos and see if they have been modified.
I will also add that I have seen most of the people in the video showing the "goat" sign (there are other more accurate names for it) with their hands in video, and on television.
When you understand the reason for the symbology used by these people and organizations, you can gain a larger picture of what they are doing.
In short, they publically show symbols to let others in the "organization" know that they are one of them. It's just like a mason accused who stands before a mason judge. The accused will display covert symbols and gain favor from the judge. Ever wonder why so many high-level drug dealers get off so easy? Biblical sorcery (pharmakia) is alive and well today.
Please remember that I don't mean to offend anyone in posting what I believe to be true, just as you post what you believe to be true. I know that truth is sometimes offensive to us, but I also believe that truth is more important than our feelings, so I post what I believe to be true hoping that people will regard truth more then their own feelings as well. In other words, I'm having faith in you.
Don't let our idols divide us.
