4) What are all of these big-time, high-placed Masons discussing behind closed doors?

1. What does the All Seeing Eye represent to you as a mason personally?
2. How did the ‘masons are controlling the world’ conspiracy start?
3. Is there a collection plate type thing in Masonry? Eg: donate to the cause…
4. Is money an issue?

Nothing in masonic terms. Not even sure there's one in my lodge as decoration. Certainly not prominent if there is. On a personal level, hell, I was a fan of the Illuminatus! Trilogy when I was younger, and got the Steve Jackson Games "Illuminati Membership Kit" with the lapel pin, bumper stickers, and other gag props. Still trying to tack down my Illuminati Special Ops black pin to add to my Scottish Rite cap, just for grins.

The twenty-four inch gauge is an instrument made use of by operative Masons to measure and lay out their work. But we, as Free and Accepted Masons, are taught to make use of it for the more noble and glorius purpose of dividing our time. It being divided into twenty-four equal parts, is emblematical of the twenty-four hours of the day; which we are taught to divide into three parts, whereby we find a portion for the service of God and a distressed worthy brother; a portion for our usual vocations, and a portion for refreshment and sleep.

Yes, at my lodge, we have a collection, all of which goes to charity.

That's cool, it's just that when I think collection plate I think in religious terms - the church needs money - god needs money? No tax etc.....
Is the Lodge like a church in that it doesn't pay tax?
