There's obviously no need for you to respond. You haven't mentioned anything about my argument against the OP.
Sure. Let's see just what you have to say about the original topic of this post, which is Masonic charity. Oh wait, in the 10 replies you've made to this thread, the most you had to say about the subject of the thread was one sentence

There's obviously no need for you to respond. You haven't mentioned anything about my argument against the OP. Only the petty little jokes. That's very telling as to what kind of person you are. Driven by your emotions, not logic. So, now, talk about the OP or no talk at all. Adieu.
EDIT: Also if you can't handle a joke or two I think you're in the wrong forum buddy. You need a sense of humour just to get through some of these threads, this one in particular. Just flat-out ridiculousness. Sorry you can't see that.edit on 8/1/2012 by xXxinfidelxXx because: (no reason given)
And we've pointed out that donations to Masonic charities are largely anonymous, so there can't be anyone dictating what's done with the money.
You realize that they donate all of that money so they can dictate what is done with it.

Finally someone says something worth it's own salt. Too bad it's a headshrinker though lol.

You say, "acting like a charity" like it's a bad thing. Charitable actions do real good. It's remarkable that you maintain such ill will towards people you don't know anything about. Can you find evidence of evil that they are doing that is comparable to the evidence of the good that they are doing provided by the OP?
Any reasonable person can recognize charitable donations to causes such as those identified in the OP as a good thing. Even if you hate the masons, if you can't even admit that their philanthropic activities are laudable, you're not assessing the situation fairly.

I know that we give to charity in our lodge and most lodges do, but this figure of $5 million per day seems inflated.

It is entirely possible that I may be wrong.
It's amazing how, when you start seeing one or two coordinates out of the puzzle, then the pieces start to come together a bit quicker.

To be honest, I find myself still stuck at the words "I am a Mason". Surely if you were a Mason, they would not condone such a blatant admission? To my understanding, the rather unsavory views of the Masonic organization (I myself support it while I am not a member) have resulted in an utmost secrecy as to the exact proportions, locations, activities, identities, etc. of the Masonic group.
Are you SURE you're a Mason?

Well, in that case...how does one join?

Very well...but I have a question. What does one need to know to become a Mason?
