I'm curious; You have stated more than once that the Masons tried to "recruit" you, or coerce you into joining. Why? Why would thay want you, if indeed it happened? What were the circumstances of your meeting them? How did you first come to the realization that they were Masons? Did you just meet in a pub, by coincidence? Did you know them before? Were they aware of the quality of your character?
In your opinion what caused them to approach you? I ask this because as a general rule, "recruiting" of any kind is frowned upon by the fraternity. There are some jurisdictions that have relaxed that rule, but IMO, it does a disservice to the Craft. Part of the whole experience of Freemasonry is taht one is supposed to be seeking, and to be doing it of his own free will and accord, and with honorable intentions.
So basically what I've gotten so far from you as that:
1. You've only met two Masons, and you admit that you cannot form an opinion by only meeting two Masons.
2. You try to use the bible to condemn Masonry, when it is readily apparent that you do not understand the concepts presented, even in the Bible.
3. You have a staunchly anti-Masonic viewpoint, yet you can offer no concise arguments as to why this is so.
From what I can see your position on the matter, regardless of the fact that you are entitled to it, is unfounded.
Again, I ask you; Why do you feel the need to post the way you do regarding Masons and Masonry?

Yes axeman more than once in one day.
My best friend works in the media and there was this reunion not only with people from the local radio station but with other people among them that where invited.
My friend personaly didint know them but another guy that he works with knew them has he invited them.
And of course how it usualy hapens every body talks a little bit about them selfs when people dont usualy know each other you know stuff like what what do you do for a living what is u'r ocupations and on and on.
It's not like they where beging us axeman to join, first they told us after a while that they are masons it's not like they came up to us and before talking any thing they said they are masons and wants us to join i didint say that.

I have a friend that works at a local radio station so he kind of go's in a circle with diffrent kind of people has it's known that masons will try to recruit people with influence in media tv and usualy higher places.
So they wanted to recruit me and my friend and they kept comming back.
At first they where polite then they becomed pushy my friend told them buzzz of budy let us be.
So i begun to be a little bit curios and started to read about them and to form a opinion and it is my opinion and it will be the same in the future
nothing can change that.
So if u'r asking for a close encounter of the third kind than the answer is yes and them felows didint seem alright to me.

Um, NO. There's a difference between the two stories and I'm not thinking it's because of English not being your mother tongue. I was able to get the gist of both no problem so don't go there.
You said in one that they were pressing you, in another they weren't begging you. Two TOTALLY different stories. And that's how I'm seeing these as, STORIES.

I did not haras anyone to my knolege and about what i think of it
look around the forum there are people that think exactly like me and have the same opinions.
And about the material i posted i find it true in my opinion and many on this forum will find it the same.
Just look at u'r felow mason and his post and tell me how you explain the goat feet and the tail on the night hmmmm?
You see only what you like to see in a organisation where every thing is based on greed and favors and i would add who knows on the top of it what else might be there i guess the goat feet are like the strawbery on the cake , i know you are pissed cause i exposed the masons.
But dont forget this forum is made for that and who knows maybe this forum is created by masons has it is geting very suspicios on how things go here with a person called a moderator.
