Captain Morgan and the Masonic Influence in Mormonism
It's incredible that there are people who are very high functioning and accomplished,in every walk of life who are Mormons. Mitt Romney, was almost the President of the United States.
Masonry is an odd relic from the past that a certain type of white guy is drawn to and enjoys, like guys who take part in Civil War battle re-enactments, history and tradition nerds. Mormonism is just batshit craziness, very similar to Scientology. |
Black people have what's called prince hall masonry. They are actual masons with a charter from england etc. the main difference is they pray to christ whereas traditional masonry prays to god whomever that may be. There are a lot of blacks going out to regular lodges and not the prince hall lodges. It depends on the state. Not evey states grand lodge recognizes prince hall masonry.
