No. I've had the book for 25 years, actually. But again, there is a difference between continental Masonry, which is what he was writing about, and the UK Masonry that he was a member of, from which the US lodges got their charters.

I am not a Mason. And I also didn't mean to offend. But their is much more to Free Masonry than err "Handshakes".....
Lets say I started my own group and called it blah blah Free Masons. And I then proceeded to do many negative things and destroy your groups image.
Would you care and attempt to do anything?

Sometimes secrecy is necessary. IE Early Christianity was persecuted so they met in secret and had secret signs.
Dante 1300s had to secrete away the third book or part of his great work "Divine Comedy" as it was deemed heretical indeed he was exiled from Florence and spent the rest of his life exiled from his native home.
Galileo also ended up having to work in secret for similar reasons.
Because something is kept hidden does not mean it is bad sometimes it is expedient and wise.
PS sorry if I have answered the wrong post

See this is my point. A group of people have chosen to be "Asswipes" and their tarnishing your groups name. Your lodge might not have 13 degrees above the 33rd but some do. Im discussing those such lodges and groups.
They commit evil. People rage at your group. You SHOULD care. I for one am actually speaking towards free masonry. I feel I would have love to been a member in a slightly different society.
However I was born into this quagmire of doom. And this needs to be fixed. Acting like all is going on is handshakes and whatnot isnt helping. I admit that may be all your group does of that kinda secret nature.
Others dont have the same moral set you do. This is an issue which we need to deal with and with your current mind frame. You allow yourself to become a pawn in a larger game. Dont do this. Actively care that some lodges are aiming for world domination.edit on 14-3-2012 by Mandrakerealmz because: (no reason given)

I live in New Zealand. A country stolen by the Rothschild central banking system of evil.... This makes me a Rothschild slave.
The Rothschild were Masons were they not?/Are. I don't like being a slave living in a suppressed technology prison.
I will admit some of these people may not be true masons. Yet the issue remains.
