Yeah, there's definitely a difference. Thanks for the clarification though. It's all good. :thumbsup

This says it all to a tee :2 cents::2 cents:

I loved The Skulls movies :2 cents:

I had my Senior Prom at the Shriner's International Headquarters banquet hall in Tampa. It was really nice, but we were only allowed in the banquet hall. From my understanding, all Shriners are Free Masons. They do a lot for the community, and have a Shriners Hospital for Children here in Tampa.

He seemed to go on a hiatus after the fail to post a sword pic.

Oh, wait...he borrowed someone's sword, that's right. :1orglaugh

Or some shit like that.

There was a Free Mason group in my suburb and they ran out of money somehow, then they said "Hey, someone be nice and buy our building that we meet at for $1mil, but be nice and let us still use it."
Everyone laughed and now they just meet at someone's house down the street. :upsidedow

My grandfather was a Mason. My great uncle was a 33rd degree. My grandmother was a Worthy Matron at the local level, and did some state stuff that I don't remember much about.

I was a Job's Daughter.

To be one ask one. Exclusive marketing technique. They are pioneers in the field

Bethel girls are usually hotter and freakier than those Rainbow bitches. :pimp

It's nice that they get into bondage at an early age with those titty ropes too.

IF you know a freemasson or are a freemasson you should know better then this thread...... :2 cents:

You should also know the difference between "then" and "than."

And WTF is a "freemasson?"

Sorry , my bad french is my first language :upsidedow :1orglaugh

I have several cousins that are in the Masons. Never heard shit about them until my youngest cousin passed away unexpected last year. Masons helped his family out with funeral and burial cost, so I assume they are okay people.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

We didn't have Raindows in my area, so only the Bethel girls. I had forgotten about the little ropes. I think they were purple.

And some of the ceremonies may indeed fostered my love of wax play. ;)

Black people have what's called prince hall masonry. They are actual masons with a charter from england etc. the main difference is they pray to christ whereas traditional masonry prays to god whomever that may be. There are a lot of blacks going out to regular lodges and not the prince hall lodges. It depends on the state. Not evey states grand lodge recognizes prince hall masonry.

I didn't read all of Captain Morgan's exposé Captain Morgan's Exposition of Freemasonry Contents published in 1827 but read enough - more rituals and rites than the Catholic Church. It sounds like a religion/cult. Anyway they kicked this Morgan fellow out over his less than positive attitude and lax attendance, so he wrote a book revealing pretty much everything heavy criticizing them mostly for being a bunch of self important ninnies and an embarrassment to what was then the beginning of the modern world - we are talking about the Age of Reason/Enlightment. So they kidnapped him, rowed him out to the middle of Lake Ontario with a rock tied to him, never seen again LOL

Freemasonry was huge in early America, most of the Founding Fathers were Masons as well as many of Presidents. Masons had a 'get out of jail free' card, if you were charged with a crime and proved you were a Mason with whatever secret signal you could literally get away with murder.

So are the lodges still built to the same specifications they were in the 18th and 19th centuries and do they still hold these ceremonies, do the rituals and ceremonies and wear the same garb?

Black people love shit like this, they believe everything literally still to this day as this classic YouTube video shows.

They are a very credulous people.

Why not petition a lodge if you are this interested?
