Masonry is far more than your rite alone.
YOU'RE telling ME this? I'm a member of several rites and branches of Freemasonry, while you are member of only ONE (supposedly).
Your ego is a lot larger than your actual knowledge
I find it amusing that you constantly slam me on my level of masonic knowledge, yet I have never discussed anything masonic with you, especially
anything esoteric. How would you know? The rest of the brethren seem to feel very differently than you do.
And let me tell you this. You guys (masonic posers like you) are the laughing stock of the occult world.
Posers? Last time I checked, YOU were the one who belongs to an unrecognized 'masonic' body.
and the fact that you got your 32nd degree immedialty after the blue lodges just confirm this.
Who ever said I got my 32nd degree immediately after I was raised? I didn't join the Scottish Rite until more than a year after I was raised. Don't
put words in my mouth, you don't know what you're talking about. And you sure as hell don't know what joining the Scottish Rite entails.
You guys are into masonry just for the pleasure of parading into your lambskin and white gloves. You dont know CRAP about what masonry really is. It
is WAY MORE than just the boring theory on symbols and hiram and solomon etc etc.
Is it about threatening forum members with your "army of masonic wizards"? Is that what you call Freemasonry? How can we not know crap about what
REAL Freemasonry is, when WE are REAL Freemasonry. YOU are NOT, we are! Our lodges descend from the UGLE, which is where Freemasonry started. Like
Senrak said, anything else is spurious and irregular.
A TRUE mason would be glad to meet a brother from a different rite than his own, because he would be happy to grind theories and idea with him. He
would actually learn out of it.
I LOVE to meet brothers from other parts of Freemasonry, but unfortunately you ARE NOT a brother.
well, im not surprised at all, since you actually did 4 degrees out of 32, and you are proud of it!!!
Proud of what? When did I state that I was PROUD of getting 32 degrees in a day? I'm not ashamed of it, that is how the Scottish Rite degrees are
conferred now, in accelerated conferrals. I had no choice.
And by the way, not only have I received other Scottish Rite degrees since then, I have also participated in them. So until you know what you are
talking about, keep your beak shut.
WAKE UP BUDDY. masonry is way more than just the scottish rite. Either you are ignorant, or you are brainwashed by your allegiance to one rite out of
all those out there.
I am a member of more than one rite, just so you know.
If all those ''great masons'' (beethoven etc) that you quote so often would actually get to meet you, they would laught at you for your miserable
and closed minded attitude of yours.
You can be as offended as you like, but the fact remains that what you are practicing is NOTHING like what regular Freemasonry is (if you are indeed
even a member of the memphis rite, i have my doubts). Those that came before you twisted Freemasonry so far out of recognition that what you practice
can no longer be considered Freemasonry.
have you ever thought about joining a regular lodge?
