Me too, I see it on the tracing boards and on the 33rd degree pins.

What does it mean?

{being open to any beilef in diety}

Thanks Mike I do appreciate you haveing a nice tone with me .
What you said about being open to any dietyDo some digging you will see thousands of denominations that would surprise you (yes even the strict baptists are on that list).
And alot of very popular preachers are doing a great job of preaching Interfaithism to the masses without them even seeing it as it is .They are duped because they dont know enough about it and they dont dig either .They just buy into it and get sucked right in .

Are they in the same rooms as yall lowers ?What do they talk about ?
And what kind of people are they ?
Appak Share some real stuff with us .
I just told you some of the dirt I know about the inside of our Churchs.
Whats fair is fair right ?

I honestly don't know what you want me to share. Who do you think the "High Ups" are? The only "High Ups" would be our officers; those in charge, and what do you mean by while we are "just visiting?" You have a big misunderstanding about Masonry. When we meet as Masons we're not "visiting" anything. We're "meeting" and the so-called "High Ups" are conducting the meeting. When the meeting is over, they are sitting at the table having dinner with us. If you look at my signature line, you'll get a glimpse of what I mean. When my Scottish Rite holds an initiation (called a "Reunion") we confer the degrees up to the 32nd upon new members. Sure, I show up with my 33rd Degree ring, jewel and cap (see my Avatar for an example of a 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Cap) and I mingle with the soon-to-be 32nd Degree Brothers. I help with the degrees, the lectures, etc. When dinner time comes, I'm in the kitchen helping bring out the food and when a lot of the guys have gone home, I'm sweeping the floor and helping take out the trash.

Honestly, we're just a bunch of regular guys. Did you see those posts about single-malts and pre-Labor Day pints? Count me in! I prefer dark German beers, but I like Guiness Extra Stout a lot too!

PS Im sorry Appak I messed up on your name I didnt do it on purpose

No worries.

That is what the other Masons have posted in these posts said that thats all they do basically.
I am going by what they told me .
Many people who research on the internet says otherwise though so who am I to believe ?

I want to know what the point of the rituals are,why grown men would need to do all that stuff (sure looks similar to a Catholic Ritual) .What secret stuff they do that no one can know about ?

I get that the handshakes are all innocent (really they are just a high five for the Masons)
But all that other ritual stuff is what I am wondering about .Why is it necessary at all ?
Why not just hold a dinner and hand out nice trophys and rings and pins ?

Thank you Appak .I will watch it for sure and I will add yours to my link thanks again.

PS:
What do the Masons say about the Ark ?Do they know who has it >?
Or do they have it ?
What is their theory about where it went if they dont have it ?And do they want to get their hands on it too ?
I would like to know just out or curiosity .

Assertions without proof are not fact and should not be viewed as such regardless of how much they 'all make sense'.

but i don't think you'll ever hear an official high-ranking mason tell you the real truth, or else it wouldn't be a secret anymore.

You are right I will never hear that, because there is no such thing as an 'official high-ranking Mason'. I would ask you to provide me with information as to who these high-ranking individuals are but you seemed not to have honored my previous request for information regarding politicians supposed Masonic affiliation.

Just finished reading all the posts here.
I don't consider myself an anti mason because I don't know enough about what is really done. What are your thoughts on William Morgan?

HELLO..

For all those who are Masons and those who want to be Masons just read the Book of the English investigator that described in detail how the Masonic P2 in Italy with some Cardenals Masons and between them an american Cardinal inside the Vatican or Catholic Church just poisoned the Pope John Paul the First in 29 Sept 1978 because John Paul I want just to close the Vatican Bank and also later assasinated Italian Judges and other investigators in the streets of Italy that were trying to process some P2 suspects,,,if after you still want to be Mason it just your Soul that you are risking, good luck.

Just someone who knows a lot of History of the World and that the Catholic Church of this moment wont be saved from punishment if Jesus return.
