1 Question about skull and Bones, Freemasonary info in return

My question is how to people identify Bonesmen? with a Watch, ring, etc etc. ? I would really like to know, and see a picture, no fake stuff either.

In return I will post information about what the Freemasons really do !! Yes my Grandpa's a member.

Ill second that question my friend [star ,flag], I have never seen that question come up!
I think its only 15 people a year that get picked and they would meet each other at the yale building with no windows.cript
But then again i heard of a european [german] chapter.

Indeed I also want to know the answer!

I will star and flag this, so people can maybe help out.

VVV

ok for one ,their are not alot of bones men around . so i am sure its a tight community, and its just like any collage fraternal order ,their is most likely a list with members names on it , also i know that when ever bones men are praying before mass ,they have to cross their arms in a skull and bones pattern ,their is a picture of george bush doing this some where on the internet

This page allegedly shows a Skull and Bones party that was made public during a facebook privacy setting problem.

Looks like a normal idiotic frat party. link

and heres a video that reportedly shows one of their meeting places.. again nothing special


I don't know how much credence to put into either report though

Scottish Rite masons pray the same way. But is signifies a Sheppard holding a lost sheep. When our Scottish Rite chapter meets at the Wester Sizzlin steak house, we get a few strange looks as we give thanks for the meal. Nothing evil about it.

I would be very curious to hear the alleged "secrets" the OP is willing to share for a price. I always love a good "my grandpa is a mason" story.

See, while I've always been told it's the sign of the good shepherd, I also wonder if it symbolizes St. Andrews' cross; Knights of St. Andrew being the 29th degree of the Scottish Rite, and possibly the reason the Scottish Rite got its name.

lol,id say you guys do have a good chuckle after dinner when talking about the looks you get.
question for a mason just out of curiousity.
Are grips and passwords the same the world over?
thanks in advance

I think they are. Having not been a world traveler since becoming a mason, I can only speak for the NC lodges I have visited. But I have talked with some friends around the world (on here) and it seem the ritual work is the same or at least very similar, so most likely, yes.

I had a funny story the other day. A mason friend of mine met a prince hall mason and he put his hands up to his head and made horns with his fingers. My friend looked a bit stunned and the prince hall brother said, "you're a mason right?" to which my friend replied "yes", then the prince hall brother smiled and shook his hand. My friend cam back and said that must be how "they" identify themselves. And he was very serious. I was trying to contain my laughter and almost got away with it, but I couldn't hold it. The price hall brother is a friend as well and he is notorious for messing with people minds. He is also very quick witted. He later told my friend that he was just messing with him and the Prince hall masons have the same modes of recognition that we do.

Off topic, but relevant to the question.

Not necessarily. To be honest, since the ritual could be different from state to state, or country to country, the only way to REALLY know if someone is a Mason is to look at a current dues card.

Hey Josh,thanks for the reply mate. sorry if i sound like a idiot ,but whats a dues card?
Is that as in dues like money paid to something?

reply to post by johnny c


each year when you pay your dues (usually not much mine are $65) you get a dues card for that year with a stamp from the grand lodge. It's the first way you can prove you are a mason. Unfortunately, some people have tried to fake their membership by thinking they could read the "secrets" on the internet or some book. If you show up to a lodge you haven't been to, the first thing they will ask to see is you current dues card. Then come the questions. They are asked in such a way that only a mason would know how to answer them. I hope that explains it.

reply to post by johnny c


It would be good to know, maybe it's a hand sign? you know how Pres. Bush does the devil hand signal?

reply to post by Nephi1337


There are 1 or 2 thousand members both past and present, have you seen Deer Island

reply to post by Nephi1337


Yeah I heard of that, I don't know why though, but some religious do this, I wonder if Bonesmen are apart of another religion.

He would not like if I told any of you, nor would any other Mason, but every man has his price
