Hi Graybeard. If what you say is true, how much attention to the Masons have you been giving?
And now for a musical interlude.
TWO HANGMEN
youtube video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt2eF1IJtSE
As I rode into Tombstone, my horse his name was Mac,
I saw what I’ll relate to you, goin’ on behind my back
It seems that folks were up in arms, a man now had to die,
For saying things that didn’t fit the laws they’d set aside.
The man’s name was “I’m a Freak”, the best that I could see,
He was the executioner, a hangman just like me,
I guess that he’d seen loopholes, from workin’ with his rope,
He’d hung the wrong man many times, so now he turned to hope.
He talked to all the people from his scaffold in the square,
He told them of the things he’d found, but they didn’t seem to care
He said the laws were obsolete, a change they should demand,
But the people only walked away, he couldn’t understand.
The marshall’s name was Uncle Sam, he said he’d right this wrong,
He’d make the hangman shut his mouth if it took him all year long,
He finally arrested Freak, and then he sent for me,
To hang a fellow hangman, from a fellow hangman’s tree.
It didn’t take them long to try him, in their court of law,
He was guilty then of thinking, a crime much worse than all,
They sentenced him to die, so his seed of thought can’t spread,
And infect the little children, that’s what the law had said.
Well, the hangin’ day came round and he walked up to the noose,
I pulled the lever but before he fell I cut him loose,
They called it all conspiracy, and then I had to die,
So to close our mouths and kill our minds, they hung us side by side...
And now we’re two hangman, hangin’ from a tree,
That don’t bother me, at all.
Two hangman, hangin’ from a tree,
That don’t bother me, at all.
“But you are allowed to go outside and beat the heck out of each other, ;)”
Kind of like some family reunions!
When you read it, you’ll get insight into Merril and his favorite wife, Barbara. It is scary to think of him leading anyone (let alone the FLDS) and that means Barbara pulls lots of the strings.
I’d like to read Stolen Innocence. It’s hard to believe people are living such controlled lives here in America.
““Why,” asks the judge, “does he have only one leg?””
There was a traveler whose car broke down with a flat tire, near a countryside farm. The traveler hiked to the farmer’s door and asked for help, and the farmer quickly obliged.
Afterward, the farmer invited the traveler to stay a few minutes and take a tour of the farm.
Going by the barn the farmer explained;
“See the pig in this pen here? He’s a very special pig.
My son fell into the pig pen, and this pig protected him until I could get him out.”
Traveler: “wow. I didn’t know they would do that”
Farmer: “That’s nothing. Last year a horse knocked over the kerosene lantern in the barn, and started a fire. This pig climbed out of his pen, came to the house squealing until he woke us all up, saved the barn, and our lives”
Traveler: “Gee. I wish my dog were as good as that. That is fantastic”
Farmer: “heck, last week I fell into the pond, and the pig jumped into the pond, and pulled me out. I don’t know how to swim, and would have drowned.”
Traveler: “Oh my. I’ll have to tell all my friends about this pig. By the way, why does that pig have only one leg?
Farmer: “Well, you don’t eat a prize pig like that all at once.”
I have passed it on to someone or I would send it to you. I found it at Costco, so it wasn’t a bad price either! A lot of scary insight in it also. The Lost Boys are mentioned as well as how they treat rebellious members or even those the “prophet” just wants out of the way. Warren Jeffs is an evil man.
He certainly gives it more attention than you give your sources.
That site's a bit 'out there'. Cryptic manuscripts...UFO artifacts...cosmic computers...
MSNBC is doing a program on the FLDS now.

Enough to know that it isn't a religion nor does it claim to be, not even a "belief system". J. Smith stole some of the symbols of Masonery for the mormon cult and called it religious.
It took a lot for Carolyn Jessop to escape, especially with 8 kids, one of whom required almost constant attention because of his medical problems. The one whom Merril Jessop was willing to let die, to punish Carolyn.
Carolyn is an amazing woman to have figured out a way to escape with next to no gas in her car.
She was resourceful in life and just incredible at problem solving in dealing with such a cruel husband and controlling sister wife.
You want to enforce such a law?
Thanks for the heads-up. The re-run is starting now and I’m watching.
Of course - but we are not a group that likes to nitpick over words.

How about the one above? ;^)
Cordially,
Yeah, George Washington and John Wayner were members of a cult.
Pffft.
All those links and “authorities” on masons are full of dog poop.
I am a Jew who accepted Christ, got rejected by my family and friends because of acceptance of Christ, and also happen to be a member of the mason fraternity (a Knight Templar of the York Rite, in fact, and swore to defend Christiandom to my death).
I know my Bible very well, and I know masonry. And yes, I’ve been a worshipful master, a past master, and everything in between. I know all the “secrets” (which are handshakes and means of recognition, nothing more or less).
Lots of people spread lies about masons. Lots of stupid and ignorant people believe them.
Think about it: Would the founder of the Salvation Army be a non-Christian? How about all the Baptist founders Baylor University? How about George Washington? John Wayne? Innumerous ArchBishops of Canterbery, back when the Anglican Church had a backbone? Of course not.
If it wasn’t so silly, it would be insulting and tiresome.
Wow, I’ve been a mason for a long time, and never heard any of those crap “beliefs” from a mason.
Heard others say “masons” believe it, and I have no doubt there are supid masons who do, just like there are people that vote for “Change” and “Hope.”
Me, I am a redneck Christian of the Protestant variety.
I always get a kick out of those that aren’t masons trying to pass off their wild imaginations of what it is on others. Stupid is as stupid does I guess with those that have no clue.
