And who knows their will probably be many people claiming to be you and post a thread and then when/if you do post it'll go in the trash ... just a though

That is true, and for that reason , assuming Paul is truly feeling up to it, I suggest going the same route as Houdini did, and perhaps set up secret word with one of the three amigos. One that only the true Paul would be able to include in a post.

The scenario you put place did happen with Houdini when he promised to come back if it was possible. Many people claiming to be psychics came forth but none were able to provide the secret word that only his wife knew.

That would be a good way for Paul to do it. However I do not want him to feel obligated to either. He has his own issues right now.

Paul if you are seeing this, and you truly do want to try to come back and share with us via posting, I reccoment that you you set up a special password/phrase with the three amigos that way we can weed out any potential hoaxers. Do NOT however, feel obligated to do this at all!

We all love you my friend. We thank you for each and every contribution you have made to this site and the world as a whole. As I said in my last post, see you on the other side. When it is my time feel free to come say hi! Hell, feel free to come say hi even if it is not my time! Love you brother!

I dont think we have ever debated or crossed swords and that is my loss.

May your journey be enlightening and for you, the solution to a lifetime of unanswered question.

Respects

paul: thanks for sharing this, and for all you've provided ATS.

the moving finger certainly does write, and when it writes my name i hope to meet the news with equal panache. you do yourself well here.

God bless, brother. Put in a good word for the rest of us with the big man upstairs if you find the time.

it looks like your about to go on a journey to the after world. Your courage is admirable. May you find what your looking for. God bless you and good luck. A mans courage is as strong as his will. I for one believe you will be successful in your endeavor.

ah man! Dig you! I hope you're keeping high spirits, gaining clarity, and living the dream.

I don't think we've ever exchanged, even briefly, but make safe passage and travel well!

Be Merry Good Sir. Be Very Merry!

Masons are a fine lot who help others and provide leadership. I'm not one, but I respect their efforts at honor and morality in our civilized society.

I believe that Jesus Christ has paid for the sins of all mankind, and a man who has lived an honorable life, or not, may receive the gift of eternal life with God. That being said, there are different "crowns" given to those who go to the hereafter, and yours will be many for good works.

Once, Billy Graham was asked what reward he was expecting or how rewards work up there. He said he thought it would be like the ocean. Each of us will be full, but some will be thimbles and some will be buckets.

Amen my friend amen. That is from the Tao Tai Ching Correct?

Alot of wisdom there.

As a fellow ATS member I am honored to read your posts.
Your courage is sincere and you are an inspiration to us all.
I am sorry that you have such short notice and hope and pray for a miracle for you and will keep your family and close ones in my prayers as well.

It never seems to make any sense but your bravery and acceptance is amazing. Thank you for letting us into your life. I wish you all the best.

The title of this thread is very misleading because it doesn't say anything except that some mason is going to die in a few weeks, and learn the secrets.

How does that benefit anyone else?

It doesn't.
