Let's think a minute...Who could sell a book, whether accurate or not, except someone who CLAIMED to have been included in the "top secret, inner circle" of whatever organization is supposedly being exposed to the world?
And IF that organization really IS "secret" with "death oaths", he'd be pretty sure NOBODY would come forward and challenge what he wrote, wouldn't he?
So susan by your deduction than Raymond Franz cant giive an objective view of the JW's since he was a JW. Or how bout me maybe i am merely full of crap and on a vendetta against the JW's so i want to get back at them because i have an axe to grind. Your logic falls flat Susan. Will Shnobelen isnt the first and surely not the last. His book much like ray Franz's book on the inner workings of the wtw FOCUSES ON THE FACTS OF MASONRY FROM THE LITERATURE OF MASONS PAST.
There are tons of others like Schnobelen and they profit little to nothing because apparently not to many buy their literature much like Ray. I dont see Ray Franz sitting pretty from all the sales of his book. He lives in a modest home built by a few bethel friends that exited with him. So your conspiracy theory stinks especially on a board of EX Jdubs! We are not out to get the Org because we have a bad slant but because we have read and researched the FACTS and realize that the ORG lied. So Like i appealed in the firt place. READ MASONIC lit like MORALS AND DOGMA or ALBERT PIKE"S garbage(A.C. De la R, Le Femme et de le'fant dans la franc- Macconenne de le Universale page 588)ive where he exclaims himself a satanist whom believes lucifer is God! "To you Sovereign Grand Inspectors General we say this, so you may repeat to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees-the masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the LUCIFERIAN doctrine. If lucifer were not god would Adonay(Jesus) calmunate (spread false and harmful statements) about him?....Yes, Lucifer is GOD!"
The rituals are all taken from druid and wiccan practices and the fezzas are islamic. Masonry is universalism which means that ALL gods are welcomed including Satan!

Spreading Facts not fiction. Wake up and open your eyes! It is all in the lodge you cannot enter! The same lodge which teaches that women cannot enter the grand heavenly lodge! That is why you cannot as a woman enter a masonic lodge. It is in their own books!
