HEY!  Where've you been?

You and I haven't vehemently disagreed for months!

Ignore him, educate him, have a bit of fun with him, whatever. People whho get any sort of interest in CAP from this faker will quickly find the true information through independent research.

Just be glad you don't have to put up with what the Masons go through! We get so much towards the global conspiracy it's insane!! Plus the groups that say they are Masons when they are just a bunch of fakers doesn't help any either.

What DO the Masons do, for that matter?

It's a fraternity, we have meetings, same as squadrons have meetings to conduct their business. There's also a bunch of philanthropic work such as the Shriners Hospitals, the Scottish Rite Eye Centers, etc. that Freemasonry started. And in a more abstract sense it "makes good men better". I don't feel like thread hijacking, so PM me if you want and I'll explain what I can, also check out www.masonicinfo.com

You do know a lot of myhology surrounding the Masons is that it comes from the Knights Templar... Still sounds to me that the Masons would own the field that night...

Actually there's an appendant Masonry degree series called the York Rite. Contrast this with the Scottish Rite and their "33rd Degree". Is the 33rd Degree "higher" than a regular Mason? No. The highest degree you can get as a Mason is the 3rd degree. The Scottish Rite and York Rite are ways to continue your Masonic education. Think of it as "Freemason college". The 33rd degree Scottish Rite Mason is no more a Freemason than you are. Sure, he has undergone degrees within the Scottish Rite that you haven't, but he isn't "over" you.

Anyway, back to York Rite. Within York Rite towards the end you can petition to become a member of the Knights Templar. It uses a lot of references to the Knights Templar of old. As to what specifically....well that I can't tell you. But there has yet to be proven a link between the Knights Templar of today and the Knights Templar of old.

Just know that every Shriner, Scottish Rite member, and Knight Templar, at first (and still has to continue be current on dues) was a Freemason.

And grocers who join Masonry become part of the Shop-Rite.

(that was too easy)
