Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has explained in an interview with Bola Ray that the group Freemason is a platform that nurtures a person morally and not a secret cult as others perceive it.
The Former President who has recently, been appointed a Senior Grand Warden of the United Grand Lodge of England disclosed that he was not the first in his family to join the Freemasonry.
"Members of my family have been there before me. Some were there even before I was born. I joined this society in 1967...it is not secret cult. It is a good system for character building... It’s a society that believes in ‘doing unto others as you want it to happen to you".
He went on further to note that the Freemason as a group believes in the Supreme Being, maker of the universe and does not operate with supernatural powers.
"It’s a system that makes a man accept the creator, that is the giver of everything. To be a member, you must first accept, believe and acknowledge that’’. He observed.

FREEMASON IS UNBIBLICAL, PLEASE GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST AND BE SAVED. SALVATION I SALVATION II SALVATION III. THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST IS NEAR AND HE IS COMING TO TAKE THE RIGHTEOUS ONES WITH HIM TO THE FATHER. AMEN
I laugh when i hear people saying that joining freemason gives you better connection with people. Look there is NO better and Powerful connection than the FAVOUR of God. If the Almighty God favours you, He cause people to reward you even when you don't deserve it. You get appointment even when you don't qualify and that is beyond understanding. Read the story of David.
Enjoy being a member ...you are 79 awaiting death,ask yourself where will your soul be?
Papa Kuffuor I beg you, much I have high respect for you, freemason is a cult and for that matter an ev1l society. We dont need freemason to build a good character. If you want to build a good character, come to the bible. The youth of today need Christ Jesus and not freemason. By the way who brought freemason and where is that person. There is a way that seems right in the sight of men but the end thereof is death and that is freemason
