Ol' skip is at it again

I am a fundamental Christian in all respects. However, what this "skip" represents is no where near Christianity. He is a legalist, not a Christian. There is a HUGE difference. I also concur with the other brothers. I would let him go. He actually would LOVE for us to reply - thus feed the string. Who knows, he may not even have any followers. And those who do are also legalist. So he can preach to his own choir - such as it is.
We just need to stay on the high road.

It is interesting to note that he is a moderator on that forum. He is obvisouly trolling on Masonic sites for "material".

This is true. He seems to have a few followers on there but it would be pointless to comment. What I've learned out the experience with him is that I've embraced freemasonry even more. Also the one thing he completely over looked is that we all on this forum have many beliefs and ideals, but we all came together not only to prove that what hes saying is wrong and hateful, but we live and love freemasonry.

Rule number 1 of the internet seem to apply here - "Do not discuss with idiots. They pull you down to their level, and then beat you on experience..."

Apparently skip has been at since the 90s and even Arturo De Hoyas dedicated a chapter in one of his books to this clown

You made the right decision in banning him. Send him to his tiny little home to complain that Masons didn't treat like a Mason while he shat on them....

Lol so true. I can't believe he didn't see how people on here wouldn't show him respect after his actions and comments. I think though in his head, by him being banned further proved his

I agree with the brothers who feel he should be left alone. He cannot be reasoned with. He reminds me of a lady I talked to yesterday. I told her don't forget to vote. No suggestions on who to pick. Just vote. I got a litany of reasons why her vote doesn't matter. All made no sense. But she was so sure, she wouldn't let me try to convince her. She all but put her fingers in her ears and stuck out her tongue at me. That's Skip. He is not concerned with debating- just his point of view. You can't reason, guide or even respect that kind of thinking. He will find refuge with like minds. If you ask me, Skip wants to be a Mason but can't find a lodge that will accept him. Therefore, he does everything to get our attention-including annoy us. Typical of someone who has been rejected but wants to belong.

I don't know about that. There's a few ex masons on his blog site and he seems to try and argue with them about even joining in the first place. I think he is afraid of what he doesn't know, and I think he wants it that way just so he can further claim the dominance of his version of Christianity

I believe you are more aquatinted with his "sermon", and maybe he doesn't want to join. But why spend so much time learning or reading all he claims to know? I don't get it. Probably won't.

A really interesting thing is that the founders, administrator, and moderators openly talked about the possibility of having an anti-mason section to allow him/them an open voice. He didn't jump on that opportunity. I guess it would have countered his arguments about us...c'est la vie...[sigh]

Really eh? I missed that part, I guess it goes to show theyll just keep on going regardless of the facts. If you google t n Sampson and Arturo de Hoyas on the same search you'll find a section of his book about skip. Quite interesting.

Excellent point! He also didn't mention that in his rant on his site.

Ephesians 5:11, Incorporated is a 501 (c) (3) counter-cult ministry which specializes in subversive religious organizations which deny being religions.

Subversive religious organizations are religious organizations which promote false plans of salvation while claiming to teach truth. Some such organizations promote false plans of salvation while claiming not to be religions. Other subversive groups admit that their organization is a religion.

A few examples of subversive groups which admit to being religions are Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. The largest subversive religious organization which admits to being a religion is the Catholic "Church." Catholicism teaches the worship of Mary and other saints, through prayer. Prayer to Mary is an attempt to communicate with the dead. 1 Samuel 28 tells of Saul's desire to communicate with Samuel, after he had died. That séance is recorded in the Bible. Saul was killed the next day. The apparition warned Saul that God would kill him as punishment. Are the apparitions of Mary significantly different than that of Samuel?

The largest among the subversive groups which deny being religions, is the Masonic Lodge. Other similar groups include the Odd Fellows and the Rosicrucian orders. Our major emphasis is on the Masonic Lodge and the Rosicrucian Order, two of the most prominent. We provide tracts, books, video tapes and other materials which equip the body of Christ to minister to Masons and Rosicrucians who claim to be Christians.


This is cool stuff! I can't wait for the movie!

I think only the individual has the key to their own salvation. Masonry teaches that the building of the self in a just and upright manner is essential to living a good wholesome life. Through ones own spiritual interpretation, we see the full glory of the GAOTU and its work. Skip thinks that anything pr anyone that doesn't follow his rigid narrow minded thinking is doomed. I really don't believe a lot of people believe or follow him or others like him. As bad as they are, the world still progresses, people are getting smarter and more educated by the day and one day he will be left a broken person because his beliefs will be shattered and I don't mean Christianity but his twisted version of it.
