My mother was a member of the Eastern Star. I believe they have something to do with the Masons. Not sure tho. She was a grand matron, what ever that is. I always found their meetings creepy as a kid. She went to those meetings every Monday when I was a kid. My grandfather, her father, was pretty high up the chain too as a Mason. He was highly respected in the county. Why, I don’t know? I never heard of him doing much for others. I say all of that to say this. I was told that the Eastern Star and Masons were considered Christian organizations. When I became a Christian at 22 years of age I found it odd that their “Christian” organization excluded others and was very secretive. I don’t recall Christ pushing any of that in scripture. So, I never gave them a second thought, till now.
