I apologize for the way its written. I'm just trying to get my point across in order to shed some light on something bothering a young brother. Let's just say I wrote this using stream of consciousness.
I was recently initiated into a lodge here in Alabama. I am currently focusing on my college work, so learning my lessons has not been of great importance to me. Being an EA, what I have learned and the mystery of what's next is very thrilling to me.
But, I would like some light shed on all these accusations people make, Masons and Non-Masons alike.
My grandfather, who has long passed away, was a Mason and his father before him. I wish I could go to them but I cannot.
I also believe Masonry has been in my family since feudal England, where I can trace my ancestry back to the Huddleston's of Millom. Also there is a lodge in the same town that has my last name in it, Huddleston lodge no. 6041
I have done some extensive research and connected many dots but I still find myself riding the fence on the true nature of masonry.
I know my grandfather was a great man so most of the things I hear I just let them slide, although they are much considered. But the accusations people make about masons running shit behind the curtains, being servants of Satan, and who knows what else has made me want to pull my hair out.
I am seriously in a troubled state of mind and I am begging for help. I have refrained from doing anything like this for sometime but I've had enough and I want answers.
Please only serious answers.
No cliche ones please. I want to hear some new insight not a parrot repeating what it learned.
This was the point of masonry right? So other men could come together and discuss science, philosophy, religion and other topics in peace and with no persecution.
Therefore, I call out to a fellow brother, preferably one who is far along in the degrees, to come forward in private conversation and bring me out of the darkness.
If not....
So Mote it be.
