How many Freemasons are there on ATS?

Alright, this is just because I am curious as to how many Freemasons there actually are on ATS.

If you are one, just respond... simple as that

There are 37 actively posting, 64 making occasional contribution and a further 122 lurking in the shadows and not saying anything publically at all.

So sayeth the Masonic Visitors Book outside *that* secret forum.

I'm one of them...VERY active in Masonry for over 15 years. ...but where is that "visitors book?"

*raises hand*

As you posted just then I was thinking of you, rahboni.

Warm fraternal greetings.

Trying to get alist of the Masons on the board? eeek I smell a conspiracy brewing!

The fox maidens are in their usual hiding and my eggs have been moved to safety....

Masonry is so secret that I am admitting I am a mason.

At the next local Masonic meeting, they are going to vote on me.
I hope everything goes smoothly

Master Mason since 1991 here so I guess I'm part of the problem too

Obviously this is a ploy to distract us from the mundane task of world domination, okay, sign me up! Hey JCM, did you see the new portable egg incubator with UPS backup in the latest "Freemason & Reptilian Overlord Supply" catalog? I think I'll have to use a little "mind control" on some of the local bankers and get me a couple... nothings too good for the "future" of our "world's order".

David Icke... he is still just for breakfast, because he's nothing but Froot Loops.

This brother is in attendance.

I'm one

Why do you want to know who are Masons? Just wondering.

Cheers,
Grey Pilgrim

Count me in as well. I have been a Freemason since 1989.

I've been a master mason since 1999.

(& a reptiliod shapeshifter from 4000 BC.)

Is that the Mobile Incu2004? Wow, that is supposed to be just awesome.. Letting the little kids feel just like the desert sand of the home planet.... Wow...... Thanks allot, I will check into it, I have not gotten the Summer Edition of the catalog... Now something to look for! I did see it demonstrated at the convention last year, but I thought no way they would have all the bells and whistles working in this year..... The repilscientists they have are sure on the ball. (or the egg )

I'm one as well. A year and a half away from the east!!

Swordsman,

Congratulations in advance! I did my "time' in 1999. (Been a Mason since 1989). I enjoyed my time in the East, but now I can sit on the side-line and tell everyone else what they're doing wrong. (Kidding, of course) I read a post on a Masonic list one time that summed it up nicely.... It went something like this:

Of all the things past and paster,
there's nothing more past than a Past Master.

Fraternally,

-John

You just entered two apprentice posts!

I cannot U2U you (over capacity). The beast of which you speak is mythical, but it may be a good idea! Perhaps we can direct our searches towards Joppa for these writings.

The question remains as to how we would truly recognize one another. There are a number of Internet Lodges (with puzzling expensive dues) functioning primarily for research but meeting all requirements to be lawfully constituted.

Truly, our GL's have enough problems trying to determine who is whom...

Personally, I favor a simple approach, though I understand it is somewhat heretical. Here is my criteria:

Does the lodge, no matter how formed, hold to the ancient landmarks, maintain the ritual, grips, words and signs? (This eliminates all women only and comasonic bodies, but...)

This simple criteria seems good enough for me.

I am an administrator at: Ministry of Masons
and a moderator at: The Lodgeroom

What we have decided is that, even in the tyled areas, we will not discuss the means of recognition, but all OTHER subjects are fair game. Even Masonic Critics are allowed to post, as long as they maintain civil discourse, else they are summarily banned.

That seems to be a good rule of thumb in any online forum... else you are endlessly calling secretaries around the world.
