Masons

Relax. It's a joke, not a threat. The pig latin "secret note" to my brethren was in jest. I guess the proper interweb protocl is to add a smileyface after every attempt at comedy lest the reader and the writer don't get each other. My bad.

Wish I had a counter to know how many times everyone here is going to convert this phrase.:cool:

The masons are better friends than your family. When I was getting divorced they took care of everything, I was cared for as I was their own family. even better, they are true friends to the end. Boy can they drink though.
 
On the secrecy, look at people's cars. You will often see freemason insignia.

Despite what the video says thouh, Freemasons are a social club that was made up a few centuries ago. They adorned it with all sorts of mystical allusions as a selling feature. Despite their claims to higher knowledge and the age of the organization, they are really nothing more than a college frat.
 
Any idea what the KNIGHTS of COLUMBUS are ,do? Is it similar to the MASONS Just curious.

I read that the Knights were set up to stem the number of Catholic men joining hte Masons. I am not a member of either, but from what I read, the Knights are a younger, Catholic but similar fraternal order as the Masons.
 
My ex girlfriends father is a mason and so was her uncle.

Apparently, when her uncle died, some dude from the masons showed up at her aunt's house to pick up a box with a bunch of mason shit in it shortly after??
 
Guys, there are masonic temples all over the city, all clearly marked with signs. Shriners are masons, and they spend $3 million US per DAY on charity in North America, primarily running children's hospitals and burn units. Not to mention being in parades and having a circus. It's not a secret organization, it's very public. All the BS comes from people who don't know anything.
 
They have that secret handshake, sort of rubbing knuckle of thumbs, I have seen it!
Aren't they all white guys........racists perhaps?

Nah, i have a buddy that was granted access (he's got this ring that he shows to cops every time he gets pulled over and gets let off)

I said the same thing about it being an old (white) boys club. he said that he saw a few brothers in the chapter meetings still.

I said the same thing ealier by saying minor infraction, anyway you are right this happens as I have witnessed it. The only other perk is they will side with each other in business. Hmmmm, I bet masonic salemen really cleanup here.;)

But in reality the masons aren't out the get every non-mason. They actually just want to stick with their brothers and be a good citizen.

You could say they are taking an advanced learning course in their chosen religion.

The K of C are a Roman Catholic order. These guys do funerals, weddings and when Popes, Bishops and Cardinals are around they attend.

"I read that the Knights were set up to stem the number of Catholic men joining hte Masons. I am not a member of either, but from what I read, the Knights are a younger, Catholic but similar fraternal order as the Masons."

No Liber, I don't believe that the Masons allow Catholics, strictly a WASP outfit.

No, the Masons allow Catholics, and there are many Jews in the brotherhood, also Hindus and Sikhs, (its very big in India) but the K of C does not allow non Catholics to Join, and the Catholic Church doesn't like Catholics to join the Masons, and at one time prohibited it. Muslims can join, but many fundamentalist Muslims hate Masons seeing it as a Jewish conspiracy. A lot of fundamentalist Protestant religions prohibit their members from joining, as do most Lutheran churches. From what I understand to be a Mason you have to believe in a supreme being, whatever you think that may be. Many fundamental protestant groups say if you don't believe in baby Jesus you are bad.
Blacks are also members, and they often have their own lodges. There are several lodges on indian reservations also. I have read stories about the war of 1812 when soldiers about to be scalped by indians gave a masonic sign and were released.

The main "qualification' according to the doc on Sunday is that they have to believe in GOD or a Supreme Being.
 
S'up Spankingman?
Who is this "doc" you saw on Sunday that you speak of? Phil? Oz? Oetker?

Because right now I have the worlds worst case of insomnia....
 
Cool hats.

The Shriners have better hats. I always liked those racoon hats Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton wore to the Loyal Order Order of Racoons Lodge. Secret societies probably don't wear hats, but if I did belong to one of those I wouldn't tell you. Is that why Jack Kennedy never wore a hat?
