Again, it is a Rosicrucian symbol first and foremost which is why so many Masons can't understand it. Visit the Rosicrucian museum in San Jose, Ca
and you will see it's ALL Egyptian artifacts!. Do you understand?. Most Rosicrucians joined the Masons not the other way around, Benjamin Franklin
was one of the big ones. Most of you Masons just join a fraternity or "brotherhood" and have no idea that you are the cornerstone of American
culture, effecting everything around you!!!. Couple this with the ideal that THERE IS NO WIDELY RECOGNIZED GOVERNING BODY OF FREEMASONRY and you can
see that independent lodges act independently. No wander people come up with this 33 degree stuff and other things, I'm sure a lot of it is true. And
we all know what you did to Captain William Morgan [God rest his soul], and thats just the stuff we know about. Seems all you Masons care about is
your Masonic dollars!!!. There must be as many Masonic, Lions, Rotary, Solomans7, Knights Templar, and Greek Fraternities in America as there are
Starbucks Coffee!!!.
