They are into helping children though many hospitals they support: http://www.shrinershospitalsforchildren.org/
It is a part of Masonry, thus if a person is against the Mason, he is probably against the Shriners.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shriners - Despite its theme, the Shrine is not connected to Arab culture or Islam. It is a men’s fraternity rather than a religion or religious group.
And the nazis built terrific roads and arrested thieves and burglars too. So what?
You don’t need to believe a bunch of Masonic bs to help burned children. But if you’re a Shriner you endorse Masonic principles.
My grandpa was a Shriner. He avidly supported the Shriner’s children’s hospitals and gave us Shriner-themed coloring books.
Yeah. The Shriners are FreeMasons. and Yes, your contractoris most likely Roman Catholic.
It doesn’t sound like they took a stand either way.
I am not a Mason, far from it.
I am not a Shriner, far from it.
I toured a Shriner’s Hospital bout 10 years ago and saw first hand the good work going on for damaged kids.
The Shriners Hospital system receives a generous donation from my business every year.
They fill a gap in the system that no one else does.
My dad is a Mason and a Shriner. He asked if I wanted to join, but it requires a blood oath and my blood is spoken for.
The Shriners treated my two cousins for months at no charge. I found the staff and hospital to be fantastic. I have the utmost respect for Shriners.
You’re going to find on this thread lots of fear and ignorance about the masons and the Shriners.
The dumbing down of American continues with no one having experience at anything but they sure do think they know everything.
Not much different from a snobish country club, as all clubs are. They are pro gun is all I care about. They host gunshows in my town and I have shot with some of them at a friend’s farm. They are not all that ideological, they just like to own bikes, guns and their woman... material stuff, not much different from the Mardi Gras societies parading every year, basically clubs that party together and get awkward single men a chance to date.

I was in a bar in Mammoth Lakes, CA., demonstrating my lone super power- unbridled drinking, and was approached by a person that I had struck up a casual conversation with, who asked me if I wanted to join the Clampers. Not knowing what that was, I passed on the invite.
Later, I did some research into this organization. Apparently, if asked to join and you do not accept, you won’t be offered the opportunity again.
I could’a been a contend’a ;O(

Any Clampers out there in freeper land?
Your boss may be ignorant or he may be Roman Catholic.
No, I am not equating the two. RC's at least have a valid reason by their lights whether I agree with it or not.
Full disclosure, I am not a Mason, Shriner or member of Eastern Star. I do have family who are.
Shriners. Masons.
A force for evil, appearing to be “good”.
The Shriners and the Masons control the world.
