Who says they gave them to me? You don't honestly think I went up to the Knights of Columbus hall and asked for their rituals do you?

The K of C ritual was bought in an estate sale of an elderly Catholic gentleman who'd been a very active member. Oh, but I guess he planted a fake one (one that had been professionally printed and bound) to throw us Protestants and Masons off the track.

The AOH ritual was bought on ebay....but, it, too, must be fake. It's hard-bound and contains Installation of Officers, Initiation, Opening & Closing ceremonies, etc.

But, you're right...they MUST be fake.

I thought so, but wasn't sure. No, I don't have a mic, and even if I did, I'm not sure what we'd talk about. I can't imagine that we'd come to an agreement over this subject, so I'm not sure why we'd continue it.

yes your correct they are fake, after seeing the working script they use its hard to say that what you have seen in a book must be correct!

So there's a company out there printing and binding fake ritual books, huh?

That sure does make it hard on a ritual-collector like me to discern what's real and what's not. I guess I'll just have to join the RCC and become a Knight of Columbus. I wonder if they'll make me an automatic 4th Degree Knight since I'm a 32nd Degree Mason?

I'm not the one who said everything in books is correct. I'm just smart enough to NOT believe the bogus oath that you're trying to pass off as truth.

As to what degree I'd be in Scotland...if I'm not mistaken the Ancient & Accepted Rite under the "Crown" requires it's members to be Trinitarian Christians. ...and although I am one, I don't subscribe to this form of "Sectarian Freemasonry" so I wouldn't be a member at all...just as I'm not a member of the Knights Templar here in the States.

Oh, so now your mad because I refuse to believe your silly posts about a bogus oath and want to insult the degree system in the US? That's nice. Tells me a lot.

Some might believe the degrees to be easily obtained here...some may not. It's what one DOES with the degrees that counts.

BTW, I was a member of the Knights Templar at one time, but demitted. I'm still a member of the Royal Arch, Knight Masons, Allied Masonic Degrees, Scottish Rite, Ancient Toltec Rite, Royal & Select Masters and a few other Masonic groups. ...not that I have time to be very active in many of them except the Symbolic Lodge and the Scottish Rite.

No. You're twisting what I said. Fortunately what I said is still posted. But for your edification, I said "if I'm not mistaken the Ancient & Accepted Rite under the "Crown" requires it's members to be Trinitarian Christians."

I didn't say that Scottish Freemasonry is Sectarian. I said the A&A Rite (which in the U.S.A. for some reason is called the "Scottish Rite" although there's nothing Scottish about it...but that's a different story) Apparenlty members of the Ancient & Accepted Rite in Scotland (the 4th - 33rd Degree) are not required to be Christians. They are in England. That's Sectarian. It's not Freemasonry. That's my point.

I meant no insult to bonnie Scotland, believe me.

Am I getting tired, or can anyone else decipher what that says????

"Scottish is Ancient & Accepted" Are you talking about the "Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite (4th - 33rd Degrees) or the Symbolic Lodge (1st - 3rd Degrees) in Scotland. Two entirely different things.....and NEITHER have anything to do with this thread.

As for the Crown...I thought Scotland was part of the United Kingdom or am I mistaken about this too?


Speaking of dribble...I grow weary of this..

England does indeed confer the Mark Degree. ...as does the U.S. In the U.S. it's generally part of the Royal Arch Chapter, but not always. There are some Mark Lodges that are controlled by the state Grand Lodge.

Yes, there's a Grand Mark Lodge in England.

www.province-of-london.org...

I'm not sure if a penny is presented to members or not, though. Some places do not do this.

Regareds,

Yup. We do have the Mark Degree and we do get a penny.
Some of our Provinces have their own specific penny.
