George Washington was a Mason, that should about cover it

They have a Koran at all meetings. Enough said.
I don’t know, MNDude, but my grandfather wrote an article about the death of one of his fellow Alaska miners
http://www.iment.com/maida/family/father/jackbell/dp-1902aug10-deathofolddad.htm
in which he wrote, “Looking among the effects we found a Masonic receipt. This was the first we knew that the bearer was a member of the order.
“We might have known it, boys, by the perfect life he led,” were the low-spoken words of Bill Cotton. “We will bury him with the ritual tomorrow as the hour of noontime comes around.”
If you really want to do that, I would suggest S.A.R., because we get to promote Americanism ideology instead. Plus the D.A.R. ladies outnumber us by a ratio of nearly 5 to 1.
Really?
I was once invited to become a Mason (I didn’t, for reasons irrelevant to this discussion.) To join, I had to write, in my own handwriting, that: (1) I believed in one, and only one, God; (2) that I believed in a holy book (they didn’t care if I said the Old Testament, the New Testament, or the Koran, but I had to name a book); and that (3) I believed that, after a person dies, God will punish the wicked and reward the righteous.
Both my grandfathers were Freemasons
That is simple not true!
A Masonic Lodge in a Arab country will have a Koran;
in the United States most Lodges will have a Holy Bible.
Other lodges in other countries will have a holy book of their religion.
Yes. IKnew a high level Mason in Massachusetts. They had a Koran at every meeting in plain site. He began objecting as I introduced him to Christianity and he saw what Islam was truly all about.
I love conspiracy theories, they are so darn interesting.
My Father and his Father were anti mason. Interestingly, several of my Mother’s Brothers and her Sister’s Husbands were Masons.
I have known a bunch of them and never knew what they were doing in those meetings but they were in fact very decent men.
I do sometimes wonder what the really high ups are up to. All kinds of secret societies in past history. The Benandanti and Illuminatti are far more secretive.
Actually any of those groups of powerful and wealthy people meeting in secret such as the Bilderbergers and others I can’t recall right now, are in my opinion, conspiracies on the face of it.
They have a right to meet but not a right to be protected by governments.
Sorry but you are wrong. The man who I got the info from was a very high level Mason, of extremely high character, and had ZERO reason to make it up at the time. Check closely at your next meeting and ask about it.
Lincoln’s GOP descended from the Whigs, which descended from President John Q Adam’s “Anti-Mason Party”...

The problem of masonry is the problem of being sworn to hide another’s crimes (in its essence) and this came to a head on September 11 1826 when Capt. Morgan, a mason who converted to Christ, was murdered for daring to try to publish a book on the secrets he knew in masonry.
Adams describes freemasons as being the first greedy Globalists, and he enacted laws forbidding masonry because of its insipid evil.
I have been a Mason for 40 years and have attended meetings in about 20 lodges across the country. No Koran, only the Holy Bible with the old and new Testament.
I am a past master of my own lodge; I know what is in it.
We use the Holy Bible for all our meetings and rituals.
NO KORAN!!

This is gonna be like FR in the olden days..Masons will be the Mormons.
That said the 25th degree Scottish Rite Knight of the Brazen Serpent stuff is a little hinkyesque.
The emphasis should be on the word free. For hundreds of years they engaged in the risky concept of what a free country should look like. They finally got their chance with the U.S. I believe they were from one of the Templar wings. One of the other wings went into Switzerland. There they helped create Switzerland’s form of democracy.
Watch out for the fez wearing mini parade car drivers. They are in the chain of command. Volunteer work at childrens hospitals and synchronized go-cart driving are sure signs of diabolical secrecy.
What is the shedding earthly alloy, passing through the gates of Capricorn, ascendant stuff?
It sounds very interesting.
The requirement is that you recognize a single Creator. So it would not surprise me to find korans in those countries. I don’t think the masons care. I would think that Islam would.
I must say, I have not the faintest idea! But it does sound interesting.
Am I remembering correctly?
