Branch has seen a lot of 6' masonic swordsin his time.
In an article titled, The Meaning Of Joe Weider's Mr. Olympia, subtitled, "It's as far as a bodybuilder can go!", the last two sentences read:
It is a select club.
Its membership rites are the most stringent a man can endure, but there is never a shortage of man who at least apply.(17)
Did you catch that?..."Membership rites?"
While we were looking words up in the dictionary we decided to look up the word "rites" and here is what we found:
RITE: 1. a formal ceremony or procedure prescribed or customary in religious or other solemn use. 2. a particular form or system of religious or ceremonial practice: the Scottish rite in Freemasonry. (18)
This brings me to the next Muscle & Fitness ad(19) that I want you to look at. This one is actually for a subscription to the magazine. Take notice of the words at the top of the ad which reads: IT'S A WAY OF LIFE!
The same words appear on a brochure(20) put out by the Masonic Lodge. Take a look:
A former high-ranking Mason put it this way:
"Masonry...is and always has been a secret society and within it is the matrix or the blueprint for all other secret societies."
"In a sense you might think that Masonry has the basic DNA code, if you will, Satan's DNA, from which that little seed you can basically grow any kind of a fertility cult (Masonry is a sex cult), any kind of a secret society that you want to. It's like the skeleton upon which he hangs the mangled flesh of all these false religions."
"It's most effective work is almost always done in secret by infiltration and subversion."(21)
And God's word says:
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be REVEALED; neither hid, that shall not be known.
- Luke 12:2 (KJV)
