Brother Gerard, every member of secret society has to declare their membership not just freemasons.

Then they wouldn't be secret anymore, the "Secret Societies Forum" would become a "Lost Civilization", we would be... rudderless... posting on the "Weaponry Forum", my, how the mighty have fallen.

Gerard, that's kinda scary. Are folks having to confess to belonging to the Knights of Columbus, the Rotary Club, the Elks and Joe's Poker Night, too? Or is Freemasonry being singled out?

Only the Freemasons were being singled oyr for this treatment.No other goup were mentioned. This was a propsal by very extreme politicians in Scotland.

The most direct and overt often is not the wisest decision, one should move and act unseen and with motives unknown until there is no other choice but direct, open and immediate action, at that time one should strike swiftly without hesitation and with a strength second only to God, this is the way of victory.

I know there are conspiracies that have been circulating for years on the masons and other groups, but having read numerous posts here, it seems that most of the masons are proud to be a part of the group and very strongly proclaim that here.
If there is nothing wrong with being a mason, then merely disclosing you are part of that group should not be a problem at all and I would think they would be proud to admit it.
Originally posted by AlexKennedyI don't see how having to disclose your membership in a society could possibly be considered fair by an American.

Does this represent the ways of freemasonry or are these merely the views of one freemason?

Do freemasons have a secret political agenda which influences the lives of non-freemasons? If so, an open society must demand to know.
I understand that a freemason is always required to come to the aide of another freemason. Does a freemason judge give lighter sentences to freemasons arrested for drunken driving (or other crimes)? If so, it is non-freemasons that are being persecuted and an open society must demand to know.
Are elected freemasons surrounding themselves with other freemasons? If so, an open society must insist on knowing who they are being governed by.
Freemasons being persecuted, I think not...

The only political agenda Freemasons have is to prevent tyrrany. Plain and simple... Freemasons believe in freedom of religion and conscience.
Do you insist that every politician disclose their religion?
How about their sexual preference?
How about what kind of food they like to eat?
Secrecy and special preference is a serious issue in america.
The current president is the member of a secret organization known as the "skull & bones" as are numerous members of his administration.
The opposition candidate in the coming election is also a member of the same organization. The secrets and intentions of this organization are unknown, but judging by the actions of the bush administration, serious reasons to be fearful exist in the US.
It is in this light that I believe the light of day should be shown on secret organizations in the US, freemasons and otherwise. Perhaps freemasons in the UK have reason to fear persecution, but I do not believe this is the case in the US.
BTW should freemasons be taken to the gulag, I will be one of the rifles on the roof top coming to set you free. I am not your enemy.

Overt action, violence and revolution is not the solution to the Bush regime, in fact many would argue that that is exactly what they want, after all what better excuse to swiftly and indefinitely infringe on the liberties of Americans than to declare martial law because of civil unrest?
Life is much like Chess, plot your moves wisely.
