My first encounter with the subject of Freemasonry came when I was discussing with my future brother-in-law what it took to get on with Brown and Root, one of the larger construction companies in the world at that time. He suggested that it helped a great deal to be a Mason. I asked him how that worked and he said that during your job interview they would determine how far along the masonic path you were by what knowledge you had. I asked him how you joined and what all was entailed in that. He told me he couldn't tell me the details. I would just have to join to find out. That idea didn't appeal to me. I wanted to know what I was heading into up front.
I related this story to suggest that most folks entrance into the lodge is primarily a business decision. Indeed, there is no quicker way up the ladder of success than what one music star referred to as "knowing the Nashville hand shake." I don't think most masonic initiates understand or give a great deal of thought to their initiations and vows involved in the various degrees. It is simply a series of call and response exchanges to be endured to reach the next level.
Jesus said, "swear no oath." I suspect He had good reason. I think it not a coincidence that you cannot hold public office in this country without doing so. I here offer a link that shows the end of the initiation of the Master Mason (3rd degree) that involves his vows. Please give this a look and tell me what you think about it.

So, you don't seem to be getting the message.
You'll get nowhere with me on this subject because I happen to know FOR A FACT that its all a bunch of nonsense. This knowledge doesn't come from books I've read that were written by authors I don't know and who clearly want to convince the world that the Masons are power hungry, shadow politicians who worship Satan.
I personally attended a ceremony where they installed a "Worshipful Master" and the worst thing about it is was that title, which they only use because that's the title that has always been used for hundreds of years. And while I wouldn't personally choose that as the title for the position, I get why they chose it and I get the importance and value of holding traditions and I do not hold people responsible for the sins of their ancestors (not that this title was/is necessarily sinful) nor do I assume that there surely must be wrong doing happening based on what something sounds like, especially in the face of having personal contact with and long standing knowledge of the character of the people involved, including the person being installed into this "Worshipful Master" position, which amounted to being lodge president for some period of time and has NOTHING to do with being worshiped AT ALL.
Although he didn't say so, outright, I got the strong impression that I was invited to this ceremony by the only one allowed to invite outsiders to such a ceremony as a means to get me to join. I wasn't interested then and I'm not interested today either, but not because I think they're doing anything immoral or nefarious but because I'm an introverted guy who isn't that good at memorizing stuff and isn't comfortable with anything that comes off as cornball, awkward or otherwise weird.
Anyway, the point being that I saw this ceremony with my own eyes and I know with first hand, eye witness knowledge, that there isn't a single thing nefarious or evil about either the "Worshipful Master" installation ceremony or the position itself. It was admittedly a bit on the weird side but that's because the ceremony is literally centuries old. The fact that the entire thing was recited with exact precision and entirely by memory was pretty impressive, by the way and very obviously not related to anything evil.
In short, all of the Masons that I have had any contact with were not Satan worshiping shadow politicians. They were regular people who were members of a social club and who spent most all of their spare time raising money to help sick children and would have beaten off with a stick anyone who tried to worship them or to get them to worship anyone or anything other than the Father God and His Son Jesus Christ.
Is that proof that there's never been an evil group of Masons? No, but there have been evil groups of police officers too. Is it evil to be a police officer?
Is that proof there there aren't some Masonic lodges out there that have a lot of pull in the community that they aren't afraid to use? No, but there are big churches that have a lot of pull in their communities and aren't afraid to use it. Is it evil to be a member of such a church?
Now, believe me, I get it. You're convinced and it would take a God level intervention to convince you otherwise. Just know that to the same degree that you're convinced by books that they're evil, I know with absolute, first person, certainty that they are not.
