@SeattleSunshineLady In the days that Smith joined the Masons, it was not widely known that this organization had conspiratorial origins at the highest levels. Most of the constitutional founders were also Masons because of its promise of the brotherhood of protection- not because they were conspirators in a Satan cult to destroy liberty as some have claimed. They were simply fooled by the promises of a great brotherhood.
@SeattleSunshineLady Smith was also attracted to it because the symbols were similar to what Abraham had given to the Egyptians, and were the basis for many temple ritual signals. In fact, Masonic history confirms that the symbols were taken from Egyptian tombs, so Mormon's temple symbols didn't copy masonry; Satan copied the true symbols from ancient temple rituals known to Abraham.
@SeattleSunshineLady Was Smith perfect? No. Is the Church perfect? No. Is it the only one with truth? No. But it is the only one authorized by the Lord, and thus, by implication, is the only true Church on earth, even though not perfect. Those imperfections make it easy for other Christians to denigrate Mormons, but in many cases, this is because they are led astray by evil leaders who keep promoting anti-Mormon thinking decade after decade.
According to a prominent, Mormon, FAIRblog contributor man can, indeed, intelligently, honestly and reasonably conclude from the evidence that “manifestations by the Holy Ghost” and other varieties of religious experience are NOT really of divine origin; that God is NOT as Mormons & Christianity believe him to be; and the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Book of Abraham are NOT of divine origin or literal history. And, of course, he's correct and they'd be correct
Joseph Smith the founder of the Mormon Church was also a Master Mason with the Freemasons. Now that's a 'secret combination"

The Book of Mormon rejects secret societies, Ironic that Mormon temple goers are a secret organization.

The United States is going down. And anyone who believes otherwise is in for a rude awakening. The very best we can do is be prepared.

I don't look forward to the downfall of the United States, I suggest we repent and turn unto the God of Israel.
