LDS and Freemason {DEEP DIVE}

[J.W.]

I invite others to share your opinions, knowledge, and possibly insights on these two groups. The reason is because they are "interesting" to say the least, and people may find this topic to be insightful at the present, or in the future with their own seeking. 

1. Which group do you think is + or - ? how come?
   
2. How close do you think their teachings fall in line with the Ra materials? 
   
3. Do they come off to you as a "mini version" of Social-memory-complexes? 
   

Below are videos about the two entities:

Haven't found one for freemasons yet, but they are similar, this video is interesting, but I wouldn't say it is accurate.

A few things about the groups: 

• LDS wears all white. Freemasons wears mostly black.
  
• Freemasons doesn't tell you what to believe in, all members have different background/beliefs. LDS has strict rules and regulations, even the way you say your prayers can be dictated. 
  
• Freemasons has a common practice of renting a part of their building from their temple to the public. 
  
• LDS has "tithing" 10% of your income goes to the church, if you want to enter their temple, not just their wards. 
  
• Both groups has some sort of "sealing" system of within it's structure, meaning when you are in, you are in. If you leave, it's never good for your mental, or some cases physical. 
  

Additional thoughts to contemplate about is,

Do you feel that they both have +/- qualities ? 
Do you think that these are just hubs for catalysts to polarize? 

I understand that Ra materials uses The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which is somewhat tied to Freemason. 
Also Joseph Smith (the "prophet" of LDS) spoke against Freemason and said that they are a apostate religion. 

Please take this discussion with an open heart and with a open mind. 

thank you,
