THE HIDDEN POWER BEHIND FREEMASONRY
THE BINDING
FORCE IN FREEMASONRY - OATHS
CHAPTER XIII
Lt. Col. Gordon "Jack" Mohr
The utter obedience and subservience of
Masonic members is gained through the use of horrific oaths! The oath for the
First Degree, for instance, contains the promise:
"to hide,
conceal and never reveal any part or parts of the secrets of Masonry which
are already known to the candidate, or may in any way be learned by him at a
future time."
Later,
after his initiation, he is required to swear:
"To obey all
signs and summonses handed, sent, or thrown from a brother Master Mason, or
from the body of a just and lawfully constituted Lodge of Master
Masons."
The
absolute subservience of the member to the Lodge is seen in promises such
as:
"to obey
without hesitation, any order whatsoever it may be, of Masonic superiors
... to assist a Companion- Royal Arch Mason when he is engaged in any
difficulty, and to espouse his cause, so far as to extricate him from the
same, WHETHER HE IS RIGHT OR WRONG."
These and other promises are made under the
following oath:
"To have his
throat cut from ear to ear, his tongue torn out by the roots, and his body
buried in the rough sand of the sea at the low-water mark, where the tide
flows twice in the same twenty-four hours.
"To have his skull
severed in two and divided to the North and
South, his bowels
burned to ashes in the midst, and scattered to the four winds of the
heavens."
"To have his skull
broke off, and his brains exposed to the scorching rays of the meridian sun,
etc."1
