just look around man, its EVERYWHERE. A guy i work with is in it, and ive talked about it a little bit. He’s over there doing something 2 days a week, so if you really want to get in you need to be dedicated. He just got initiated not too long ago and he wont tell me what they did to um or what the ritual was, but said its not too bad.
Drive around ANY town in WNY and i be you see atleast 1 building per town that has this symbol
that’s a lodge. knock on the door and just be straight up with um and say you’re seeking their knowledge and they’ll talk to you and point you in the right direction.

My grandfathers father was in it. I found an old old old ring that looks like this that I hold on to:
I always thought there was a rivalry between them and the Knights of Colombus, I may be wrong tho.

LOL yes there is plenty of conspiracy to go with the masons. Good job on uncovering the truth.

Wrong.
I do understand what you are trying to say but you are misunderstanding much of the point of being a part of the masons. If you read through the handbook it sums it up pretty well(I think it can be had publicly at this point). It is basically a social organization where you take care of your own. The networking that is done withing the masons and work related promotions due to being a member are huge. :highfive:

why would they be so secret about it if they didnt have something to hide. And there is plenty of literature and masonic infiltration to prove what they are really all about

well yeah i understand its somewhat of a union/fraternity, but what i don’t get are all the secrets and mysteries surrounding it, if there are any at all, why the big hype? couldn’t i just as easily join some other fraternity or union and benefit the same?

^^Probably, If it wasn’t secretive then people wouldn’t want to join. Either way, in this new book I picked up its stating that the freemasons originally were decendents of the Knights Templer and are charged with keeping Solomons treasure a secret.

Right like I said it is not setup to be like you get in and find all the secrets to life. This whole its soooooo secret and there is crazy shit going on from the inside is crap from the movies. Not saying they haven’t been connected to lots of funny stuff but its nothing like what I think you imagine it would be. But as far as getting the same from a union or frat no way, you should maybe read up a little but they have a lot of people in high places hahah LOTS I dont think its all a huge coincidence :tinfoilhat:

Cant a guy just be educated on the subject?lol but for real most anyone SGT and above in the military has been approached to join. Not saying I have just saying the information has been given to me. I am simply trying to clarify for some of the people here.
