Publisher's summary

In this second edition of On the Masons and Their Lies, ex-Mason Michael Witcoff breaks down Masonic philosophy line-by-line and point-by-point. Drawing from Albert Pike's Morals And Dogma and the thoughts of other 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Masons, Witcoff compares Masonic ideology, theology, Christology, soteriology, sacraments, and more to what is found and transmitted through the ages by the Holy Orthodox Church of Jesus Christ.

Beginning with the story of his joining Freemasonry - and how the Holy Spirit eventually guided him out of it - Witcoff details the "Four Satanic Deceptions" which Masonic philosophy uses to draw the mind, heart, and soul of man away from the light of Jesus Christ.

If you are a Mason concerned with the state of your soul and your place in the Kingdom of God, then it is the author's sincerest hope and prayer that this book reveals God's truth and helps you untangle the web of Masonic deceit. This is a resource for priests, pastors, Christians, and Masons who seek a fuller understanding of what each system teaches - and whether the two are truly compatible.

By the time you're done with this book, you'll know far more about Freemasonry than most of its own members do...and if you're a Christian buying this for someone you love, it just might be exactly what they need to see in order to save them from falling into grave sin and error.

Orthodox Apologia Against Freemasonry

This book was engaging and informative. I particularly enjoyed his juxtaposition of Orthodox Christianity and the false facsimile of Freemason rituals. I will share this book with my Priest in hopes that it will assist him in helping those enslaved to the spirit of FM. God bless this book and may if fall into the hands of those who need it most.

A refreshing and levelheaded reproach of freemasonry

This was a great book that I was able to finish in an afternoon. It is a great expose and repudiation of the evil of Freemasonry.

Excellent Information

This is a great expose on the profound incompatibility between freemasonry and Christianity and offers a deeper insight into the latent evil found within this secret society.

Accessible even for complete normies

No outlandish conspiracies will be found here. Just facts that are rather easy to confirm which seems to be what the book was limited to intentionally. With so much conflicting information all over the internet on this subject I think the right choice was made in that regard. Well done!

Bravo! This audiobook is what we have needed!

The audiobook offers listeners a way to lovingly approach Freemasons with the true about the organization they are victims to. There is lots of wisdom that can be pulled from this and used when approaching anybody associated or concerned about Freemasonry. The audiobook can even help draw Christians, who are already against Freemasonry, closer to their oneness with Christ.

Preaching to the Choir

If you look up the author, you will find that, for him, his Christianity is really only a sword and shield for merely political, traditionalist, unapologetically *Fascist*, “culture war” issues, and is not a font of spiritual salvation, renovation, inspiration, charity, or Morality.

Witcoff does not rely on many rational arguments in this book, but sticks to shallow, myopic, Ethnophyletic, straw-man apologetics, and appeals to authorities only people who already agree with him would care about. He is not concerned at all with Charitably understanding any other group, including the Masons, which he joined, on their own terms, but only in securing his own in-group borders.

Basically, Witcoff was raised a liberal Reform Jew, and because his experience did not save him from the lows of a sensitive time in his life, he swung all the way to being a mystical, reactionary, Christian. If you think I’m being hyperbolic, check out a work he made after this one: “Fascism in View of the Cross” where he, in his own words, endeavors to “Baptize” the ideas of reactionary authors like Julius Evola, who, to him, mainly lacked certain trappings of Christianity in their mystical fascist ensemble.

For examples of lazy arguments: He, classically, takes Manly P Hall’s “The Secret Teachings of All Ages” to be a reliable authority on Masonry, because Hall was eventually made a 33rd degree Mason later in his life, despite the fact that the book was written before Hall ever became a Mason.

At one point, he takes umbrage with a quote from Albert Pike (and he aims to resist the principle of this quote throughout the book), which says: “No man or body of men can be infallible, and authorized to decide what other men shall believe, as to any tenet of faith. Except to those who first receive it, every religion and the truth of all inspired writings depend on human testimony and internal evidences, to be judged of by Reason and the wise analogies of Faith. Each man must necessarily have the right to judge of their truth for himself; because no one man can have any higher or better right to judge than another of equal information and intelligence.” - Morals and Dogma: Fellowcraft Degree pg29

What is his issue with this quote?? Can someone be forced to genuinely believe something they do not believe? Pike is not saying dogmatic religious bodies cannot exist; he’s just saying their only ground for existence is necessarily whether their faithful actually believe in the institution and its proclamations, or else they would leave. Does coercion lead to faith, and then to genuine, sustainable, stable action, and eventually theosis?

Certainly not. That’s not how he was convinced to become Orthodox. He was convinced because it’s what his reason and experience lead him to believe, as Pike’s almost self-evident model of religious belief predicts. That’s also what’s wrong with his broader reactionary politics, which, again, is the true cart to his Orthodox horse.

very disappointing.

so I bought this audiobook because Michael was on Jay dyers YouTube channel. the guy gives very basic information about the Masons which I already knew. basically the book is summarized as such be a Christian and leave the Masons. the only thing he says is Freemasonry is a religion and it's bad. I thought he would go in till like the history of it and the rituals. so again very disappointing...
