are the freemason and illuminati the same thing?

[sith123]

ive heard a lot about them and they seem quite simmilar. are they the same and if not, what is the difference?

[jackthehat]

No.
Freemasons exist. The Illuminati do not.

[sith123]

oh, lol, i seem so stupid. thanks.

[boxtops]

There are many different branches of freemasonry, too.

[sith123]

well at least i know now

If you ever have any dealings with a mason you'll find they're on the level and will always give you a square deal. I believe the Illuminati are so secretive as to be almost invisible.

[sith123]

ok

[sinderella]

the Illuminati are in the minds of paranoid people
the masons are fundraisers with strict morals
makes a change that no one has come along saying they are all corrupt
been to many masonic events and they are a great bunch

[DaisyNonna]

Like any cross section of society. Some good, some not so good.

[ummmm]

The illuminati killed Michael Jackon.

Also, if you play some songs backwards it says 'illuminati'

I'll get back to you on what songs :-)

[sith123]

thanks ummm

Sith, If you read 'The Lost Symbol' by Dan Brown, you will not only have a good read but will get a flavour (perhaps a little exaggerated) of what freemasons are about. :-)

[sith123]
