I agree with you about it being ritualistic. I was disturbed and creeped out when I watched the video.
Did you look at those guys? They couldn't get a hard on if their lives depended on it. Why do people keep sexualizing it?

ETA Family jewels is a euphemism for genitals, just in case...

Start the flame throwers...
...and they aren't using that place because they had no where else to hold a show.
You sir need to immediately disassociate yourself with anything related to Discordianism. I'm sure you would protect the Masonic cause with your life, that's how seriously you take it. You seem to hold yourself in very high esteem, and you don't seem to know how to take a joke. Everything about you insults the entire philosophy of Discordianism. Figure out where you want to place yourself, you aren't a quantum particle, you can't occupy two different states at the same time. It's one or the other.
Dozens, if not more (plus at least a half-dozen mods). And you've walked into our den. Try to keep your shoes off the furniture while you're here.
If you would have read my post I stated that it can't be proven. However, all one needs to do is look at the 3 men, and it's obvious they are 'high rollers', they are in charge of something one way or another. It's extremely doubtful that they rented this lodge, those 3 men are the ones who are rightfully designated to sit in those 'thrones'. It obviously can't be proven, but my intuition tells me that is the case. Whether you want to believe your own delusions is not my problem.

How do you know? What facts do you have to support this?

I had a grandfather that was a high ranking Freemason
Oh, and for the record, they do practice sorcery. I know that for a fact.
It cannot be stressed too strongly that these claimed excerpts from a non-existent correspondence are not supported by any documentation. Internal evidence, the language and subject matter, clearly suggest a much later creation date.

Keep telling yourself that.
Freemasonry is far too democratic and decentralized in nature to have a secret group control it, and far too many variables.
That's what they all say. You've been deluded into thinking you know how it all really works just because you'll able to squirm your way in and get a little taste of the special secret club. Keep on dreaming. Rotten apples are typically coated in sugar to hide the nature of the core.
my first hand experience rejects your propaganda.
I am so sick of this argument "I'm a Mason I know how it really works.". Get over yourself, you're part of a club that revolves around secrecy and stupid rankings. Why would I believe anything you have to say? You've obviously been brainwashed to think exactly what they want you to think, and defend them in exactly the way they want you to defend them. All Masonic lodges are intricately interconnected, and all the leaders are closely coordinated. If you fail to even understand that much your opinion is worthless.
So you honestly think you know more than actual members? You people say there are "high" vs "low" levels, and yet still think you know more than the low levels. Logically speaking you would be lower on the information totem pole than we supposed "low level" Masons are.

Just shows what good Christian Men these guys are - I'm sure their wives know all about what they do at their meetings.
Yes surely God Fearing Folk - isn't that what they say????

I'm fairly knowledgeable on Grand Lodge operations and management as Idaho requires you to pass a test (among other things) before you are eligible to be elected as Worshipful Master. I've also researched how each body works and the cooperation with the Blue Lodge level (and truly, their dependence on the Blue Lodge).
Secrecy does not automatically mean we're dishonest. Secrecy isn't a bad thing. I've never lied on this forum. There is a lot about Freemasonry that is open, and some that is not. How we are structured is not secret or hidden.
I'm not brainwashed. The Worshipful Master even says so......okay I had to do that. You would think with all this brainwashing someone close to me would have noticed.
How is every single Masonic Lodge connected, other than through mutual recognition at the Grand Lodge level? Every Grand Master chooses to recognize other Grand Lodges (and by them all their local Lodges). Mutual recognition doesn't dissolve the sovereignty and independence of each Grand Lodge. The numerous Grand Lodges around the world act as a confederacy in regards to their fraternal relations.
I can prove how we are democratic and decentralized. Can you prove me wrong?

You haven't proven anything. The whole philosophy of Freemasonry is to support your 'brethren' and absolutely devote yourself to the 'inner circle', devotion beyond a question of a doubt. This mix of secrecy and rankings, along with the devotion engraved into the minds of the 'flock', is a perfect cocktail for any secret society with long reaching tentacles, the highest ranking of which, have close ties and support each other where ever possible. Do you honestly know how many Presidents have been Masons? Now how does that happen if each lodge is simply a decentralized 'gentlemen club'? Your naive views and simplistic outlook is quite humorous.

Oh man. Talk about avoiding the question.
How does what happen? This dance?
