Yes, because the Freemasons stole the name "Hiram Abiff" and put somebody else's body on him.

You are right. We could violate our Obligations and he would still call us liars. Fools are incapable of seeing the truth even when pushed in front of them.
Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Why would a guest on that show need to shake hands with the host?
Where is the proof for your denials?
Where did I assert "relevance"? I merely called him by his proper title. What's your problem with that? He's earned it.
He shook hands with everybody on the show that night. It's called being polite and a gentleman. What's your problem with that?
And the burden of proof is on you. You're the one making outrageous accusations, not I.

How did Freemasons steal the name? Now Freemasons switch bodies?

What are Masonic crimes? And if you really had done any research you would know that Freemasons are charged to be good citizens. That means we follow the law.

Why the individual Brother can have their own interpretation of a symbol the Fraternity as an organization has it's set description - this is taught to the candidate.

Bad men often do bad things to include abduct children. I'm sure Satanic practices may have played a part in a couple, but I'm sure there are other sick reasons. Yes, I've read some of the conspiracy theories on them, one just as ridiculous as the next. Do you believe that if we didn't have this program there would be know abductions?
CHIP is not a deterrent, but a tool to help law enforcement rescue the child. The only people who keep the data is the parents.

I can't help you if you don't understand the English language. He is, by trade and formal education, a medical doctor. Ergo, his carries the title of "Doctor". How difficult is that to understand?

How did he "interrupt" the program? All he did was shake hands as he was introduced to the stage. He was just being nice to the people around him. The only people who could misconstrue such a simple, friendly, common gesture are individuals plagued by paranoia.

Nonsense. Most Masons I know are Christians of some denomination or another. Why shouldn't we be able to quote the Bible? It's our faith. Despite what the Vatican claims, Christianity and Freemasonry are not incompatible.

Ron Paul didn't appear on the show to write a prescription. If he was used to endorse medicinal marijuana, then that's exactly what happened -- he was used.
You don't know if he met everyone backstage or not. It's very possible he didn't have time to do so. He was running for President at the time, wasn't he? I very much doubt he had a lot of time to just hang out backstage. He probably showed up just before filming and left immediately after to get back on the campaign. For all we know, his campaign manager kept him isolated before he went on stage, as is so often the case with political candidates.

I'm sure he already shook hands backstage, and after the show. Why would he need to be filmed shaking hands? Doesn't he understand that such a gesture could be mistaken for a Masonic grip? Not everybody considers shaking hands on TV to be a kind, friendly gesture.

Public persona? When did I ever mention his public persona? And most of his supporters do know him as Dr. Paul. His nickname on the Hill is "Dr. No". It's just who he is, and whether you were familiar with that fact or not, many other people are and refer to him as such. You're picking knits.
By the way, I like how you've allowed your own thread to be derailed by this.

All the while automatically excommunicating the members of their congregation who also happen to be Freemasons through papal decrees. Right.

Ok, you meant to write "my" but you wrote "by."

I guess treason and murder are technically part of "the law."

So, then, there is a standard interpretation. Sure, each member can develop his own understanding of the symbols, but in the meantime, the "lower-level Masons" are given an interpretation.
Originally posted by vcwxvwligen
Exactly, it's to entrap the perpetrators, not to aid society at large. There is another word for this -- vengenance. I'm sure that vengeance is not a virtue that is taught in the lodge.

Nabbing the perps can also be an opportunity to learn how the child was lured in the first place. Perhaps this help Masons to "enlighten" themselves about what makes the children tick?
I'm a member of the Grand Lodge of Texas. Ron Paul is not.

A bunch of excuses. No, he did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.
If he were such a frail old man, then why was he running for president? He was visibly exhausted in his televised appearances. He could have a heart attack!
