If you were invited, would you join the Freemasons? Have you joined?

Obviously ladies might feel excluded from this thread.

I'd love to join, but can't as I have no belief in a supreme being of any kind.

I think they have Women's Lodges now... so no need for them to feel excluded

There is a group for women....Order of the Eastern Star and I think there may be others. I dont know that much about Freemasons. I think they do some good charitable things but I've also heard much darker stories about them.

I've heard tell (that's southern, btw) that they are quite a close knit group. It just might be good for both.

You could spy on them and then report back to all of us! Do it!!!

jl-heating · 28-03-2008, 19:25

definitely..

Quagmire · 28-03-2008, 19:48

I think you have to be religious to be a mason? But no chance, better to succeed without the help of your "buddies".

I went to a funeral some months back and the gentleman who died was a Freemason. Though the service was held in a funeral home, rather than a church, the theme of the service was definately Christian in nature.

What i Dont understand is, you have you believe in god yet masons worship Lucifer???????

Ninjamagic · 30-03-2008, 02:09

freemasons have a heirarchy, higher u go the more sinister it gets

bottom rung of the ladder stuff is the local charity work, good impression type.

Higher up echelons its head of world bank, imf, morgan stanley, chase manhatten etc... boss's who tell tinpot prime ministers to transfer their imbecile salesmen who have screwed up their transactions (debts) onto national taxpayers in sovereign countries (northern rock).

Ultimately, if you are a upper echelon banker, chances are you are a cast iron 100% freemason. U can be jewish, christian, muslim or athiest - all types join as long as you serve the idol of capitalism.

At the extreme end of the spectrum they do hyper inflation to ruin countries (george soros in malaysia 90s for example), and depose anti capitalist leaders whom may nationalise the wealth (and thus take it out of their hands).

Err, yes i been investigating em if you havent guessed already

You don't.

You have to have a belief in a supreme being of some kind and, in most religions, Lucifer, Satan etc. is 1. Albeit an evil one, supposedly, but a being of divinity nonetheless.

Whoever it is, they don't call them by their common name, they're known as "The Great Architect" in Fremasonry.

I'd probably end up getting blackballed.
