Topic: Freemasons: Inside - Out!

Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation. Arising from obscure origins (theorised to be anywhere from the time of the building of King Solomon's Temple to the mid-1600s), it now exists in various forms all over the world, and claims millions of members. All of these various forms share moral and metaphysical ideals, which include in most cases a constitutional declaration of belief in a Supreme Being.

The fraternity is administratively organised into Grand Lodges (or sometimes Orients) that each govern their own jurisdiction, which consists of subordinate (or constituent) Lodges. Grand Lodges recognise each other through a process of landmarks and regularity. There are also appendant bodies, which are organisations related to the main branch of Freemasonry, but with their own independent administration.

Freemasonry uses the metaphors of operative stonemasons' tools and implements, against the allegorical backdrop of the building of King Solomon's Temple, to convey what is most generally defined as "a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols."

Let's start with their normal signs... Read em carefully halafu fikiria, tukibahatika tuzichambue moja baada ya nyingine na kuangalia Tanzania iko status gani!

Secret Masonic Handshakes, Passwords, Grips and Signs Of Blue Lodge Masonry

ENTERED APPRENTICE DEGREE

(First Degree in the Blue Lodge)

DUEGARD OF AN ENTERED APPRENTICE

The Duegard of an Entered Apprentice represents the position of the hand when taking the oath of an Entered Apprentice, "my left hand supporting the Bible and my right hand resting thereon."

SIGN OF AN ENTERED APPRENTICE

The sign of the Entered Apprentice alludes to the penalty of the Entered Apprentice's obligation. The sign is made by drawing the right hand rapidly across the neck as shown on the left. The penalty that the sign alludes to is, "having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours, should I ever knowingly violate this my Entered Apprentice obligation."

Explanation of the Entered Apprentice sign: Draw the right hand rapidly across the neck as represented and drop the arm to the side. This action shows the penalty of having the throat cut and the tongue ripped out.

"BOAZ"
GRIP OF AN ENTERED APPRENTICE
(HANDSHAKE)

The Grip of the Entered Apprentice is made by pressing the thumb against the top of the first knuckle-joint of the fellow Mason, the fellow Mason also presses his thumb against the first Mason's knuckle.

The name of this grip is "Boaz". When a candidate is imparted with this grip and its usage it is done in this manner."

First the Worshipful Master says to the candidate: "I now present my right hand in token of friendship and brotherly love, and will invest you with the grip and word. As you are uninstructed, he who has hitherto answered for you, will do so at this time."

The Worshipful Master of the lodge then has this exchange with the Senior Deacon, who is standing next to the candidate, who is still kneeling at the altar, after have assumed the obligation of this degree:

Note: In the following discourse WM stands for Worshipful Master, and SD stands for Senior Deacon. WM: Brother Senior Deacon. SD: Worshipful Master. WM: I hele. SD: I conceal. WM: What do you conceal? SD: All the secrets of a Mason in Masonry, to which this token alludes. (At this time, the candidate is shown the grip of an Entered Apprentice) WM: What is that? SD: A grip WM. Of what? SD: Of an Entered Apprentice. WM. Has it a name? SD: It has. WM: Will you give it to me? SD: I did not so receive it, neither will I so impart it. WM: How will you dispose of it? SD: Letter it or halve it. WM: Letter it and begin. SD: You begin. WM: Begin you. SD: A WM: B SD: O WM: Z WM: (Directing his words to the candidate): "Boaz, my Brother, is the name of this grip, and should always be given in the customary manner, by lettering or halving. When lettering, always commence with the letter, "A".

MASTER MASON DEGREE (Third Degree in the Blue Lodge) DUEGARD OF A MASTER MASON



The Duegard of the Master Mason alludes to the position of the hands when taking the oath of the Master Mason, "both hands resting on the Holy Bible, square, and compasses."

"TUBALCAIN"

The first Mason presses the tops of his fingers against the wrist of the fellow Mason where it unites with the hand. The fellow Mason at the same time presses his fingers against the corresponding part of the the first Mason's hand and the fingers of each are somewhat apart.

THE FIVE POINTS OF FELLOWSHIP

wakuu..
nimepita kwenye hiyo sura inayozungumzia freemason kunako kitabu cha Sir Chande(thanks to Pundit) na sidhani kama Sir Chande anatatua tatizo lolote hapa kwenye uelewa wetu husiana na hao jamaa.
anajitetea tu na kugusia activities 'safi' za masons,hakuna zaidi.

Mimi nataka ku play "devil's advocate" (no pun intended, lol) hapa, only because kabla sijasoma kuhusu u-Buddha niliambiwa ma buddhist ni wachawi and all sort of devious mystic things, nilipopata courage ya kwenda kwenye a Buddhist Temple nikakutana na a buddhist monk jamaa alikuwa ni mtu mmoja poa kichizi.

Nilipoingia kwenye library yao na kuanza kusoma vitabu vyao nikaona a lot of it is actually rather scientific and it is more of a philosophy of life than organized religion (of course you have the rituals which one cannot always attribute to the founder and the original tenets)

Kwa hiyo ninaposikia freemasons ndiye anti-christ na this and that, inaweza kuwa kweli.Lakini where is the evidence? These people are supposed to be ultra secretive, how do we know this?


Of course account ya Chande iko biased na wanaeleza the positive nature (altruism etc).Kitabu kingine kinachoelezea hivi in the same light ni David McCullough's "Truman"

I regard Christ highly as an important philosopher, and would hate to see him being used to bash on other people just based on rumors of being "Anti-Christ".I can say some Christians are "Anti-Masons".In Truman's and Chande's accounts I gathered Freemasons encourage brotherhood regardless of religion, of course this could very well be a front covering some devious shenanigans, but what can be said for sure beyond innuendo?

Mara nyingi kunakuwa na phobia kwa vitu tusivyovijua.Walipokuja wazungu Afrika kwanza watu walifikiri wanakula watu (partly right), wengine wakafikiri walikuwa miungu (the root of the word mzungu is the same as mulungu or mungu, time to change this name by the way!).So people fear what they don't understand, it is natural, what I want to have here, if there is something to fear, is to fear something that we actually understand and not fear based on the fact that we do not understand Freemasonry, or because we think it is different.In a discussion based on facts -and not hearsay- I would gladly welcome measured criticism of Freemasonry.Otherwise Christians will be discriminating against a minority religious organization.

Lets safeguard our freedom of worship lest next thing all people who think Christ is a mere philosopher be branded anti Christ and from there who knows, in the wake of the ensuing liturgy's litany of lines of litigations, or to be more precise inconsequential inquisitions paralled on the Spanish one, perhaps all protestants would potentially be branded so.

I guess I better dust my volumes on the history of the crusades and the few books I have on Freemasonry.

Just when I thought the Kindle was taking over too.

unapojiunga na chuo ukimaliza unapewa degree ya kwanza , unasomea ya pili and so on -- ina mahusiano na freemasony sio ?

jamani freemason sio watu wabaya kama wengi wanavyofikiri ni cool people sema tu wana sheria na mambo yao wanayafuata ambayo mtu wa kawaida ni ngumu sana kuyatambua kwa sababu yanafanyika kwa njia ambazo sio za kawaida sio za kibinaadamu

soma kitabu kinaitwa GREATEST WORLD SECRETS utaelewa zaidi kuhusu watu hawa na jumuiya zao

ni sawa na wale AGHA KHAN , waisilamu wa madhehebu ya SHIA , wakatoliki anglicana na so on sema freemasony sio wa wazi katika mambo yao

Shy kama waweza nipatie hicho kitabu GREATEST WORLD SECRETS. Nionavyo mimi Freemasons ni hatari. Imani zao na matendo yao ndo ya kuogopa. Matambiko ni mengi ya kumwaga damu tena ya binadamu. Si imani natural hiyo? Ni ya kishetani na kuchawi niseme.

Yes wako kama 10 hivi

Wapo zaidi ya Kumi Sir Andy Chande, Jeet Patel, Sonil Somaiya, Chenge, Reginald Mengi, Yusuph Manji, ........ Endelea na list. Kale kahekalu kao pale Bongo kuna kijana anafanya usafi pale i.e mhudumu ukimpata atakupa data zote. Ila sina uhakika kama hajalishwa yamini asitoe siri!!!!!

...kuna mtu jana ameniambia kuwa Sir Chande alimshawishi Mwalimu na nusuru angemuingiza humo lakini suala la umiliki binafsi wa uchumi(tuseme ubepari) ambao freemason wanau'practice lilikuwa linabishana na ujamaa ambao Mwalimu alikuwa anausimamia.

Kuna watu ambao wamefumbwa macho ' by years of brainwashing,'kiasi kwamba hawataki kuona upande wa pili wa shilingi.Mambo ambayo 'FREEMASONS' wametufanya na ambayo wanaendelea kufanya ni mabaya mno.Kwa vile kila mtu anajua kusoma naomba kila mtu asome mwenyewe http://members.iimetro.com.au/~hubbca/cartels.htm.Once you are there please also read 'The secret covenant".Kama una pressure naomba usisome,mambo wanayotufanyia yanatisha mno.

Nimejafibu kufungua hapafunguki, mkuu unaweza kutupa hayo mambo hapa hapa.

Matatizo yetu watanzania ndio hayo, hatutaki kusoma.Sasa tumeshaingizwa mkenge hata bila kujua.Mambo ni mengi sana kama hiyo website haifunguki basi nitatatafuta muda ni waandikie.

Nimejaribu ni kweli haifunguki, ikiwezekana tupe summary tu

Ondoa neno 'Once'.Neno hili sio sehemu ya "website."

hakumshawishi Mwalimu kweli naye aingie kwenye list of shame?

Nyerere alishawishiwa sana na hawa jamaa wakati huo Chande was nobody in the society. Thanks to his strong Catholic devotion aliwapiga chenga. Lakini wenzake Mwalimu wengi walikuwemo na hata wenye nchi wengi wa sasa ni wanachama ingawa for them its more for power than anything....

Kitabu cha Chande kinamapungufu mengi. Mwanzoni kilikuwa kiwe na kurasa 1600 lakini ikabidi kipunguzwe sana ili kulinda maslahi ya Society na hata ya wenye nchi....

Ni muhimu wakajitokeza wasomi kubobea katika ujuvi wa kundi hili haswa hapa nyumbani maana ukweli lina mkono mzito katika usalama na maslahi ya nchi yetu
