Ask a Mason is the forum I am trying to post a reply to. If I miss my target, I apologize. This is my first response to any post on ATS.

Question for any Mason:

If a person were to have pissed off, and I mean seriously pissed off, some Masons by turning down a Twitter invite sent to them by the Freemasons asking them to join, what would be their resources for ending the attack being rained down upon them?

If that mockery included, spaced over a few responses to the auto-generated Twitter acct that sends those invites, the offender saying they don't need to take another person's energy by theft, that they alone are increasing their vibrations, and that Masons #ed up religion with Mormonism, JWs, and 7th Day Adventists? Thing is, that somebody has received multiple threats, text messages to their phone coded "Error 666" which are sent from a number that, when looked up, is listed as an often used fake phone number sent to call ID units? Said texts also including symbols(upside-down lowercase "t"s). Also, is there a defense against their sapping the energy from the offender? The offender's passport paperwork has been "lost" somehow and they have an international ticket for a few weeks. Now the offender has to start all over. They also threatened no future employment ANYWHERE, and also to divulge things to family/friends about the offender that may or may not be true.

May sound insane, but it is all true. If you can render assistance to someone who merely mocked to defend themselves against people more powerful than God, please let me know.

Be kind. The offender literally tried to give his life for someone he didn't know at ALL, but it ended up falling through. That is the kind of love the offender has learned with this entire experience.

Please.

Masons don't recruit, as a policy. To join, you must do so of your own free will. That's a really, really important part of Freemasonry. But if someone did feel they were being solicited to join, and they turned them down, then it shouldn't piss off anyone, because, again, nobody's ever going to force someone else to become a Mason. It goes against everything we teach...

Not really. Anyone who meets the necessary qualifications can join, it isn't very difficult. Good luck!

Yes my question for "Ask a Mason" is this, i was wondering if you could confirm or deny if these four people are/were Freemason's.....


Harry Houdini: The most famous magician of his time who was so popular that he has even had movies made about his life which tragically ended of all things by a magic act gone wrong.


Jack Parsons: He was a world renowned and controversial Academic and Film director who was pro population control and has links to of all people Aleister Crowley.



Pauly D: Known for his friendship with Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino and Vinny Guadagnino but probably best known for starring in the popular reality show on MTV called the Jersey Shore.


Paul Marcinkus: A prominent American archbishop and longtime head of the Vatican bank who was linked to a major Italian banking scandal and is also rumored to be allegedly involved in a plot that killed Pope John Paul the first even tho his death was ruled to be of natural causes.


Thanks......

Yes, and he died of a blow to the abdomen that may have ruptured a septic appendix.

The only Jack Parsons I found was a rocketeer but was involved with Thelema. He was not, from what I can find, a Mason.

Pauly D: Known for his friendship with Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino and Vinny Guadagnino but probably best known for starring in the popular reality show on MTV called the Jersey Shore.

Oh Jesus Christ, I hope not.

Paul Marcinkus: A prominent American archbishop and longtime head of the Vatican bank who was linked to a major Italian banking scandal and is also rumored to be allegedly involved in a plot that killed Pope John Paul the first even tho his death was ruled to be of natural causes.

Absolutely not. A Roman Catholic Archbishop would have been immediately excommunicated for becoming a Mason.

As Augustus mentioned, Parsons was a NASA rocket scientist, and was a personal student of Crowley's at one point. You may be confusing him with another Crowley enthusiast, the bohemian director Kenneth Anger. Most of Anger's films are inspired in some way by Crowley's work, and throughout his long career he has featured in his films people like Anais Nin, Marianne Faithful, Mick Jagger, and Jimmy Page.

Neither Parsons nor Anger were ever Freemasons, but both were involved in Crowley's O.T.O., an initiatory occult order similar in structure to Masonry.

I'm thinking of joining the brotherhood, but before I make my final decision I'm researching about the brotherhood, one thing I didn't find and would ask you in this thread. If brother asks other brother for help, and let's say you are unable to do it will it give some bad reputation and make harder for you to go to the next degree? Connected to the previous question, if brother asks you to harm (beat up,poison or worst kill) someone for some reason, who is not a member (or a member), if I decline will I be kicked out of the brotherhood and should I tell that to the master of the lodge if asked such thing?

Thanks.

No. Your obligation to provide for a brother in need is entirely subordinate to your ability to do the same for yourself and family.

Absolutely not.

and should I tell that to the master of the lodge if asked such thing?

You should absolutely alert all authorities civic and Masonic.

Not in my lodge, you would fit right in.

I want to ask few things and I hope I will get all the answers...
Can anyone join freemasons or does it depend on your job [philosopher, professor, economist etc..]?
Does the application for freemasons ask you about your grades in high school and university?
What if I passed with B, but got e.g math D?
I mean do you have to be so high educated or it let's you be weak at some subjects?
And do I need to be rich?
