For those unfamiliar with the term 'Eastern Star', in latin it means bringer of light, or light-bearing. Speculative Masons -judges,loan sharks and lawyers mainly- consider themselves to be children of the light. And of course as the Entered Apprentice is initiated symbolically before the morning star,in biblical translations we discover that this in fact means Lucifer.

I can't see why anyone would possibly want to become a Freemason in this day and age.Not that I have anything against them, but the ceremonies strike me as vile and offensive.And once inside the 'Temple' anyone with enough common sense would just want to get the hell out. That today is a regular event.

I would like to add to this that I have found the Eastern Star and other associate organizations are very satanic like. I did join but after I was in there I found that they had absolutely no purpose except to do satanic rituals. The money they took in was never used to help the poor and under privileged, like I thought they did before I joined. That money was sent to the Higher Up Authority of the Eastern Star. I could never figure out what happened to it after that. The people who belonged felt they were so much better than others which was not a very good example to the community. They talk people into getting involved and then those very same people invoke their own ideas into whatever that person may be doing. That is because the organization is not "free will"...it is the will of the upper strong ones.I have found that with the Free Masons as well as the Eastern Star there is alot of dislike toward them only because of the attitude of members and the evil things they do behind doors. I would never talk a person into becoming a Star member or in conversation I have also pointed out that the Free Masons are not what "they"want people to think they are. Now I know this is a woman's point of view, but, remember they have to back their husbands in the work that comes with the Masons. The numbers are down because the younger people are getting wise to the fact that is absolutely no purpose in being a Free Mason except to worship satan. It used to be if you belonged to the Masons they would give you help in the time of need. Well, it never really applied then and it absolutely does not apply now.
