CT Logic at it's best

[MG1962]

I was just watching a documentary about the Freemasons on National Geography. I simply dont know enough about the organisation etc to judge the value of the information, however one section stood out

They were discussing the existence of an inner and outer circle of Mason power. The inner being the super dooper top secret NWO or whatever they are accused of.

The Freemason made the point. If you ask a member of the outer circle, they are going to deny the existence of the inner circle because they simply dont know what it is, or about

If you ask a member of the inner circle, they have taken an oath never to reveal the existence of the inner circle or what the inner circle is about.

So using that logic, the only way the Masonic movement can dispell these claims is to admit them true (Even if they are not)

The folks at the Loose Change forum will tell all you want to know about Freemasonry. You may even be a Freemason and not know it. You should stop by there. Tell them Elksniper007 sent you.

I've got a stone wall that needs repairing. I'd love to find a local freemason, the masons round here charge a fortune.

On a UK forum we have people who are obsessed with the Freemasons, and one of them, casting around for another affiliate member of the Illuminati came across the Shriners (http://www.shrinershq.org/Shrine/), and listed several old-timers from the world of entertainment who were members. I pointed out that they were clearly the American equivalent of the Water Rats (http://www.eabf.org.uk/gowr.htm), but to no avail of course. I think he was chiefly concerned with the Shriners' funny hats.

Well, I can. It's spelt Tubal Cain, or Tubal-cain, and he was the earliest of Adam's descendents to be apparently associated with crafts, ironwork and building iirc.

[Dr. Lao]

Yeah, but I know the extra secret spelling!

LOL

(first heard it on TV show "News Radio" it was the secret word you told a judge so that he would find in your favor. Funny stuff.)

Who cares about the hats? Those little motorcycles are the scary part

I can neither confirm nor deny the existance of the inner circle of free masons.

I can't post links yet, but if you check out (with the www's) masonicinfo.com they have all kinds of debunking of the typical "Masons control the world" claptrap. There's also a list of famous freemasons maintained in affiliation with the site... Just in case anyone takes this seriously and wants a resource for debunking it...

[gnome]

The rumor of an "inner" circle of Freemasons is merely a distraction from revealing the "inner" circle of the Salvation Army. Fnord.

Thanks for that. I thought the doco was pretty balanced. It was interesting to see the Masons admit that they were there own worst enemy regarding the lack of transparecy in the organisation. And they saw the documentary as the first step to changing that.

It is interesting that the Boy Scout movement has secret ritruals, sneaky hand shakes and yakkie yakkie doo chants, but they never get blamed for the sort of things the Masons do

Hmmmmm Hope I didn't just stumble onto something

[The Silver Shadow]

I was a boy scout until I was 14, those secret handshakes were meant for us and it's not for you to know :D

FYI: 333rd Etobicoke Troop, Toronto, Canada

Is that the militant wing of the Salvation Army?

They go around telling great big lies!"

Hey, I just noticed I passed 1000 posts. Isn't there supposed to be merriment and joy all around?
And cake. I distinctly remember being promised cake.

I just noticed that I passed 2000 posts and became a "Master Poster" all of a sudden. I missed out on the cake, too. Damn.

Oh well, on the bright side, I know the secret Masonic handshake (although, admittedly, I am not impressed) because, not surprisingly, most people cannot keep a secret, contrary to the beliefs of troofers.

Knowing the secret handshake will have to sustain me for now, in the absence of cake and general merriment.

Man, I missed out on that, too!

Oh, well, I guess I can console myself that I made new friends here. Oh, wait, I just pi**ed all them off, too!

Yay! Who says I can't bring people together!

how I became a Freemason

Was about 4 years ago we had a contract to frame a small shell addition for a tiny home in Wharton NJ. We had scheduled the work in anticipation of the owner "saving money" by completing his foundation himself. He had friends. Other Freemasons or so he though, who were supposed to help him. They came. They drank all his beer. They broke his cement mixer. We were already 2 1/2 weeks beyond the scheduled start. And he was 3 courses of block short of completion of his very messy and butchered foundation. Out of frustration I (we, actually me and partner) offered to finish his foundation off for nothing. Just to put this disaster behind us. This guy was a surveyor by trade and I found in 28 feet his foundation was off level by three inches. i had to pour a bond beam on top to make up that much error. To this day I don't think he ever completed his remodel. We have been there several times over the years to try and get back the compressor we loaned him. Kitchen cabinets can be seen through the windows nailed to bare studs. His siding is incomplete. And has several cubes of concrete block strewn about the hillside behind his house. Yes he overestimated.

What few people realise is that both of these organisations are ultimately controlled by the secretive and relatively unknown organisation called The Rockbreakers. Their militant arm is the Boulderdash whilst their Intelligentsia is called the Pebblestorm.

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage to teach
Peewee gathered up his proof
Reached up and scratched his head
Fell down and hit the ground again

Firehouse. Firehouse.

Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the rum

Firehouse. Firehouse.

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse

Wash off the blood, wash off the 151

Firehouse. Firehouse.
Firehouse. Firehouse.
