By the look of the stained glass windows it looks more like either a church or a funeral parlor.

It's def a church.. no doubt about that..
It's not a meeting we know that for a fact..

Because it's not in a lodge room it's most likely not an official ceremony (officer initiation etc) where women are allowed.

It's most likely a ceremony, funeral, wedding, etc.. but most likely a funeral because there are numerous men in regalia.

Most likely a Prince Hall Lodge.

Yes women are sometimes allowed in the lodge room for certain ceremonies (like officer initiation)
Yes cameras are allowed in lodge rooms. We take pictures all the time, like when awards are given out or something.

But lastly.. I don't know if Jay-z is a Mason or not, I don't know why it would matter if he was.. but I don't see him in the picture, could someone circle him?

That is not jay z.....

yeah, photochopped by someone on Reddit I bet.

If its not photoshop'd, this is defiantly evidence that he is a mason. My father is a Prince Hall Freemason, (African-american). And they attend, 'community services' where they do go to funerals and Easter church services etc. Before I knew anything about the truth about FM, i was in a chapter of the Prince Hall Freemasonry called the Pythagorean, this chapter was for sons of FMs or other recruits under 21. They wear exactly that attire, and yes, white gloves are a part the uniform with a black tux. Meetings held every weekend if I remember. Nonetheless, Prince Hall Freemasonry, are in my opinion, are at the bottom of freemasonry, yes because they are black, but also because they are 'newer' and more open to society, therefore are not as 'secret'... being open doing community services and charity works etc. All in all still worshiping satan, no matter how 'good' they do for the world.

I just think it's so funny that he's the only one looking right at the camera.

This not a Masonic lodge...there is no mosaic pavement on the floor, for one thing. There are many organizations associated with churches where different items of clothing, hats and gloves are worn; like the Knights of Columbus, etc. Could be something like that, too.

This may have been discussed before, but wouldn't his being a FM fly in the face of his supposed 5%-ers claims?

You realize they were founded in 1775? I mean, yeah, it's "newer" on the grand scale of things, but still more than 200 years old...

I agree. This is a photoshop.

The front row people have the freemason symbol on their laps. I don't think it's funeral.

Why not? Freemasons don't die?

The last funeral I went to, we put on aprons at the grave site. We just had our suits on in the church. I can see the grand lodge officers wearing their regalia since it's not something you would easily put in a pocket.

Prince Hall masonry has a very proud history and their dedication and attention to detail is commendable. They are as much masons as any regular mason. None are "top" and none are "bottom" levels, all meet on the level, act by the plumb, and part on the square. Please don't let ignorance drive you away form knowledge.

So is it true Freemason's control the music industry?

Of course. I told Mr. Gaga (yes the rumors are true) to wear the meat dress. We bought a vat of A-1 with all the money she has been making.
