As was my grandfather, who also happened to be deacon in his Presbyterian church and was one of the most decent men and as devout a christian you could have found anywhere. This is BS.
Check into it. Don't Trust ME, Don't truct your grandfather.
Go, find out. Some didn't until AFTER they had joined.
There you go! Proof that the Mason have infiltrated EVERYWHERE! /sarcasm Yeah, me too. I was raised Presbyterian and know MANY of the Deacons and Elders who were lodge members. People are afraid of what they don't understand. The fact that the Masons provide an organization in which many members come from different churches is a threat to some.
