When is the last time Freemasons chopped off heads of those that wouldn't join become a Mason? When is the last time a Mason blew up and area of London? These people need to worry about England before she vanishes.

"It will also recruit staff in other Royal residences including Windsor Castle, Clarence House and St James's Palace."

Absolutely untrue.

...fraternity famed for bizarre initiation rites, mystical regalia and mysterious codes of conduct.

Apparently this story was not written by a member of the fraternity.

Secret society my Aunt Fanny. You can’t turn on the History channel without seeing some show about masons and with all the millions in the world who are members, nothing is a secret anymore. It’s just a boys’ night out that doesn’t involve a hoochie mama.

My oldest son & two of his friends visited the grand lodge in England last summer. Unfortunately, he and his friends (also Masons) weren’t able to see a meeting because it was summer, but they did get a personal tour. They enjoyed it immensely!

My son is a Junior Deacon in his lodge now - I’m so proud of him!! Can’t wait to see him become the Master. Son #2 joined last year as well, but since his wife just had a baby, he hasn’t had as much time to devote to the Masons :-)

Here’s a thought. In honor of Queen Elizabeth’s great-great-grandmother and predecessor Victoria (as well as that great English poet and Freemason Rudyard Kipling) why not call it “The Lodge of the Widow”?

"These people need to worry about England before she vanishes."

Now more than ever.

So they really do control the British Crown?????

What an odd article.

I understand HRH Queen Elizabeth II is the Grand Patroness of Freemasonry in England — I wonder if anybody associated with the article spoke to her about this?

> It is also likely to cause consternation among career women in the Palace, as it is a men-only organisation.

Ahem yes — that probably reaches to the heart of the issue: The Craft is a men’s-only institution, and forever may it remain so. Possibly the “insider” informant in the article is actually a disaffected radical feminist?

> “The last thing the household needs is a secret society, especially one with the reputation of Freemasonry.”

The Royal Family has always done rather well by its association with Freemasonry and, in the past, has made no secret of its support for this, one of Great Britain’s finest and most reputable institutions.

The Queen can just wait until Friday the 13th and order the lodge dis-banned and all its members hunted down and slaughtered.
