Interesting thoughts on Masons

Josh, I see what you mean, I have seen some ugly people get glamor shots and look presentable.

I had a quick look through Erics book. My intention was to scroll through the "hand gestures" which have already been discussed on this thread and get on to something more meaty. But I found the entire book was all about hand gestures and positions - unless I have missed something?

Very few of the people photographed are freemasons, and as to the photos I see nothing but a series of similarities collected to imply something more sinister. Have you ever read the Lincoln/Kennedy co-incidences circular? It's exactly the same effect.

One section I briefly dipped into was talking about an "M" symbol in freemasonry, and then there were lots of pictures of non-masons allegedly doing this M symbol. I'm not sure what this proves, other than Eric has way too much time on his hands, but I can tell you that there is no such symbol in masonry.

It's a difficult "book" to comment on specifically because it's so superficial. It seems to me to be a series of allegations about individuals based on circumstance and supposition. I'd be happy to discuss any specific aspects with you but it hard to know where to start.

Hope that helps. Sorry I can't be more definitive.

Please do not make your attacks on Masons so rabid and vicious. My grandfather (God rest him) was a Grand Master. I find your attacks to be quite insulting.

Nice but not realistic. I am an artist and you never paint a person with their fingers together. How many people hold their fingers together all the time. I do not believe this is a strong point against the masons. To me it seem the product of an overactive imagination. That's just my opinion.

In that last quote, I did say I could be misinterpreting hostility and quite obviously I was and so I apologize for that.

Your post was very well spoken and I clearly understand your message. Because we are of differing viewpoints and the discussion is becoming circular, I will leave it alone.

Also, I will point out that initially, I was unaware of the history Eric had with all of you. I never saw the conversations or how and why he was banned. I am now much more understanding of everyone's positions in this thread and the whole thing makes much more sense.

Also heard and understood. I will say that anything before the 1830's was painted and not photographed but could some of the same philosophies of narrating been applied? Definitely possible.

At this point, I don't think this is accomplishing anything anymore. I will always continue my search for the truth about life so if I find anything interesting one way or another that is related to Masons, I will bring it up for another discussion.

Peace all.
