First of all, if you are a Christian, why do you need to join any group of people other than Christians? These people are manipulating Christians to serve Satan secretly by making women bow to the "Eastern Star" which most women who join don't have a clue on who or what they are bowing to. Once my wife told me about this group i did some homework on it and i found out enough about this cult and who runs it.
Eastern Star say they serve the Star that came out of the East (before Jesus came on earth there was a Star that shot from the East and thats how Jesus was born) so that is what they tell their members they are bowing to but what 95% (or more) of Christians don't know is that Star that they are bowing to is Baphomet (Satan). Easter Star is an all woman cult, i believe they have a group for the males as well to make it appear that they are "Holy" to the people, earn their trust then deceive them.
I did a quick google search on "Eastern Star" and found a post on the first page on "why a Christian woman should not join Eastern Star." To check that post out Click Here and see why this group of people is something you want to stay far away from! The people you are learning from are "Free Masons" (which is the most evil group of people on earth) but you will never see it cause they are trying to deceive souls so they will appear nice, sweet, and make it like they are good but they are not.
I believe that there are Pastors in the Church now everywhere that is doing the same thing... This is why i trust no man and go to the direct source myself. You should do the same, there is nothing in The Bible that states "you need to be with a group of people to serve the Lord," The Bible states that God will accept any man that freely accepts him, me personally... I don't go to Church cause i refuse to sit, listen, and watch preachers leading people in a wrong path.
I have seen this time and time again till i just couldn't take it no more, you are responsible for your soul, but so many people trust everything their pastors say and that is crazy to me! My wife was telling me just yesterday that most of the members at the church she went to didn't even have a Bible with them so if they don't have a Bible with them, how will they know if he is telling the truth or not? This just makes it easier for the Devil to deceive you, wake up people... We are in the Millennium!
