All religions have been infiltrated and Masons are led to believe they do so much good for the community. The truth is that they give a satanic blood oath to keep secrets. This is Lucifer's Plan of darkness. Those of the Lord's light don't have to keep secrets to do good. In 1824 Heber C. Kimball petitioned the Masonic Order to allow him to build the York Lodge in Mendon, New York (13 miles from Palmyra). It was approved. During this time there were over 30,000 registered Masons in New York. Their standard belief at the time was to ensure the life of the Masonic Order in all religions. This is when many people fled from the heavily economic controlled states in New England and went to places like Western Pennsylvania and Ohio, etc because of the Masonic control of commerce. Brigham Young had two brothers and a brother-in-law in Vermont who were Methodist Preachers and the leaders of the Masonic Order. He moved to a few miles of Heber Kimball in 1829 because of the Book of Mormon translation and "news". Masons infiltrate any and all religions (headquarters) to take over the leadership because of the ability to generate "tithing" and other "offerings" for controlled commerce over the people. Kimball was the ring leader for the Masonic murders of Strang, Lincolm and Pratt because of their desires to break away from the Masonic Order and rules therein. The evidence is in the biographies and books written by Kimball, Pike and others who put the Masonic Order first in their lives. Secret combinations are "secret". What "evidence" are you seeking? The Book of Mormon tells a person to stay 100% away from this type of group. Do you live by the "spirit" of the law, or are you a person who demands to know "everything"? I have read and researched thousands of books during the 1800s which deal with the Masonic method in a community and their leaders when the Book of Mormon was being claimed as a duplication of the Solomon Spaulding manuscript. After 1885, other "tactics" were used to discredit the Mormon Church.
