[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend was a Demolay and when he converted to Christianity the first thing he did was to request to leave it.

He said some rituals clashed with his faith. [b]When his father converted he also left the group[/b].

The wife of an ex-mason mentioned zoophilia as part of the rituals once. Ew![/quote]

Demolay is a youth group. His father would not have been in the group. This post is not only a troll, but a [i]really bad at lying[/i] troll.[/quote]

Duh! My friend was a Demolay his dad was a Mason. Better now? (I was 18 when this happened)

I went to college with his sister and both converted from having no religion to being Christian. Later mom converted than, later the dad.

The boy quit the Demolay thing and the dad got pretty upset. Once dad converted he understood the son's POV and agreed that some practices clashed with their new belief. We tried asking why but he never explained. I didn't feel it was my place to ask again. [/quote]

From my understanding, much of the reason that the masons clash with organized religion is b/c they don't go along with the whole "organized religion" part of it.  They believe in God, but from the ones I have spoken too, find most religious institutions to be contradictory to what spirituality is truly about.  Like when you go to church and they pass that collection basket around....does God need money?   When you pay your dues to your synagogue, it's like paying to pray.   Some synagogues you have to buy tickets to go to the high holiday services.  God is all around you.  You don't need a building to be close to God.  From the little I know, that is more along the lines of what a mason believes.   So of course when your friend "converted" their new ideals are going to clash with what the masons believe.  [/quote]
