The Freemasons

[No1tovote4]

What about all the conspiracy theroies? I watched a things on the Biography channel and it brought out some good points. Especially between the Masons and the Templar's being you have to be a Mason for a certain period of time before you can become a Templar. Those guys are even more secretive.

The Templars are an appelate body, they created a requirement that you be a Master Mason in good standing in order to belong to them. Therefore "a certain period of time" is very different in different areas. That particular appelate body stresses Christianity. There is not specific time limit, only that you be a Master Mason, and the reason for that is because only then are you charged yearly dues and can be recorded as a mason in good standing based on that. This stresses that it is the Blue Lodge (only 3 degrees) that constitute Freemasonry, if you give up that all appelate bodies will reject your membership as you are no longer a Freemason.

It's a secret cult that controls the world by manipulation of humans through nano-electronic technology. When you're stopped at an intesection and you hand them a dollar, they have a special probe that injects a transponder-receiver under your skin. It controls your thoughts and emotions through hormone type chemicals, similar in strength to the sexual response of men in their late teens and 20's. If you don't pay the buck they leave a skin-boring nomad molecule on your door handle, so the next time you open your car door it attaches to your skin and self-borrows in. This nomad device is encoded with the information that YOU HAVE BEEN A CHEAPO, and you are remotely manipulated accordingly.

I've heard some of the Mason jokesters have had a CHEAPO strip down naked, walk into a gay bar, stand on the bar and wank in the bartender's face.

LOL. Wow. 'nuff said. Some people will believe anything so long as it makes others appear "evil".

This one is hilarious. Good job Glockster... I need my foil hat too!

Thanks, No1tovote4.

It is a fraternity that does charity. Those guys with the stickers on their cars are freemasons.

I wouldn't trust people with shriner's hats on corners, the shriners rarely collect in any such manner. People can buy funny hats without becoming a shriner.

The Shriners are certainly all Masons but their organization has nothing to do with Masonry. But, I appreciate their charity and well-meaning endeavors all the same!!!!!!!!!! This conversation begs plenty of questions and I am positive that you or I can answer them competently. Que Sera Sera, my brother.

Oh make me puke. Keep your inbred evil bullshit under wraps, it's embarrassing for the board!

Where's the love, man?

There is nothing like the fear of freemasons. The anti-masons are a cult on their own. Go ahead and puke, but keep your inbreeding amongst yourselves. Have you a single thing to dispute anything I have said here?

I've waited 8 days for any response that might imdemnify your ignorance. Apparantly none is forthcoming. Enjoy your crowd.

It's in his post.

Can you dig it, man?

Background: a friend told me a story about his friend who joined the Masons. His father, a Pentacostal pastor, gave his son an ultimatum: as long as you're a Mason, we're not speaking to you. Obviously, the son was distraught... long story short, he's out of the Masons and working things out with his dad.

That's sad to hear and shameful of his father. Zealots usually do fear the Freemasons.

I am fairly knowledgeable of the Fraternity so if anyone has questions I am more than willing to answer them. Anything is open. There is nothing I haven't heard before. So have at it.

I did watch a really good documentary either on the History Channel or A&E, I think it was the History channel about teo hours long on the Freemasons, the reason I bring it up is that youo can buy it off the History Channels website. It is really good and informative. If you really interested in the Masons buy that DVD.

I love the History Channel. They do some great research.

I saw the History Channel special and I believe that they do accept women now.

There are some Lodges that allow women, but many Grand Lodges do not accept them so they are not able to attend many Lodges other than there own.

Is it like the Jaycees? I see those compass/star symbols on people's cars all the time. Isn't that the masonic symbol? Are these guys the shriners?

For the Blue Lodge (or Craft Masonry) there is the Square and Compass. Order of the Eastern Star hsa the Star. Scottish Rite usually uses the double-headed Eagle. York Rite usually has a symbol that has Blue Lodge, Royal Arch, Cryptic Mason, and Chivalric Masonry on it. Shriner's have their famous symbol, hard to describe, but an Egyptian-like head dress suspended on a curved sword.

Maybe the Davinci Code was accurate when the talked about the Knights Templar and the Masons.

Regardless of what anyone says, there is no known connection between the Crusading Templars and today's Freemasonry. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence, but reasonable doubt still exists - looking at it from a legal POV.

Ok updated list:

Decorated Veteran of every war from Spanish War to Desert Storm
Elected politician
Blues musician
Minister of the gospel who knows the New Testament better than most Americans

and now Knight Templar

Does your habitual lying and delusions of grandeur have an end to them?

Wow, why the hostility? Do you have any proof that he is not in the York Rite, which the last order of it is "The Order of the Temple" commonly known as the Knights Templar. See the national website: Grand Encampment of Knights Templar USA. I am a member, or Sir Knight in it as well.

Check it out.

Anyone who uses Kevin McNeil-Smith's site FreemasonryWatch has no credibility...just like the site. He is a hatemongerer and knows nothing of the true meaning of Freemasonry. He is a sick demented person.

As Master of the lodge I performed 23 Masonic funerals, we never once escorted anybody away from a funeral, we were there for those people.

Wow, that's sad to hear. While it is a great honor to do it, I am not looking forward to losing Brother's and friends.

What just happended?

Someone stopped taking their crazy pills

And what's your personal take on this , apparent, misogyny ?

Oh my this is just too rich coming from a Muslim. I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read it. How's that separate sex worhip working for you, btw?

I left out the most disturbing images of Muslim beatings and killings of women, as they make me sick to my stomach. Apparently, they are ok for you, though.

I would consel our new member not to answer his question, until he answers the many questions that have been put to him in several threads.
