They're all disgusting once you go high enough, I'm sure.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard there's one where they ask you to spit on the christian cross. If you refuse, they divert you in to the charity branch that provides all the good PR they enjoy. If you spit, they bring you up to the next level.

It's full of little stupid things like that, that break you down over time, and also act as a filtering process so they only select the ones they want.

Another one is they say "Read the orange book" and then you go in the room and there is a black book that you read. Then they ask you what color the book was, and you're supposed to say it was orange. This shows you value what they tell you above what is actually physically real.

There's a reason it's a secret society. Because if the shit they do at the top levels was openly known, Freemasonry registration would drop like a rock. But instead it's just a giant loyalty test that ensnares you in a way of thinking that they ultimately control.

I guess lol. But if their ceremonies aren't weird, then why are they so obsessed with keeping them secret? I mean seriously.

I don't know if those particular ceremonies are true though, and it probably varies lodge by lodge. It's just what I heard, could just be fake stories, I don't know.

But it's quite clear they're not just some benevolent charity organization when there's be over a dozen presidents who were admitted freemasons, and probably many more who wouldn't admit it (since it's a secret-based organization). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States_who_were_Freemasons
