In Locke’s message last week, the pastor encouraged people to burn anything connected to the Masonic Lodge, referring to Masonic books, rings, pendants, aprons, and Shriners hats as wicked and demonic. Locke also encouraged the burning of devilish music, satanic symbols, board games, Catholic statues, rosary beads, tarot cards, Dungeons and Dragons, Harry Potter, Pokémon, dream catchers, spell books, healing crystals, and yoga-related materials.
Stanton informed Locke that he had contacted the Mt. Juliet Police Department, Wilson County Sheriff’s Office, and the Mt. Juliet Fire Station No. 1 regarding Locke’s planned burning event.

“We’ll all be there to stop this event if it is not cancelled or replaced with an alternative event,” Stanton said, referring to himself and representatives of the Grand Lodge of Tennessee Free and Accepted Masons in Nashville and The Roman Catholic Diocese of Nashville. “I urge you to reconsider and do the right thing, do what Jesus would do – promote love and unity in Mt. Juliet.”
Locke responded, “WE DO NOT CARE WHO SHOWS UP, WE ARE HAVING THE BURNING AND NOW IT’LL BE BIGGER THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED. You will not bully us. You will not stop us. There’s not a witch, a Mason, a Diocese, a Satanist or ANY OTHER GROUP that is going to stop what God has put into motion. These demons have picked on the wrong one. THE MASONIC LOSGE (sic) IS 100% SATANIC AND I REFUSE TO BE SILENT OR BE CONTROLLED BY THEIR VAIN THREATS.”
“This isn’t a show,” Locke stated. “But it is a showdown!!”
