Thanks for resurrecting this thread (on 10-13 of all days).
I missed it’s first run.

Interesting stuff.

CoH this year.. WM of my blue lodge finally next year. It's gonna be a blast!

Oh yeah, I expect that you will find fault with Dr. Mizrachs work in this area, WON"T YOU???

Semper Gone

Idiot...Look at post #112. It was posted BEFORE you asked for a source. I guess you can't read either. Semper Pissed

Yeah, I missed 112. Sorry.

Oh yeah, I expect that you will find fault with Dr. Mizrachs work in this area, WON"T YOU??? Semper Gone

Why would I? Mizrach did a better job discrediting the whole Sion/Templar myth than I ever could have.

Anyway, I see I've touched a nerve. I'll leave you to your "studies."

[Bohemund]

Come on. You wrote your master's thesis on this stuff, right? You can do better than this.

Shame on Georgetown, they gave me my degree.

Since when does Georgetown offer a masters in Criminal Justice?

Read all about it in Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto [Name of the Rose] Eco. Fascinating!!

Also in "The Avignon Quintet" by Lawrence Durrell
even longer and more obscure than Foucault's Pendulum.

LOS is Ladies Oriental Shrine. Concordant body of the Shrine. My wife belonged when we lived out in Northern California.

[Redleg Duke]

There are various units within each Shrine Temple. It is for fun and also to raise money to support the Shriners' Burn and Orthopedic Centers. Liberals hate them because they help the poor kids live normal lives, including those from other countries. A kid who grows up healthy is less likely to be a victim...and liberals need victims.

[Redleg Duke]

Good Luck. It is a lot of work and takes a lot of planning, but is it fun too!

[curmudgeonII]

I have to express my disapointment with the Shrine in recent years. Although they do excellent work with their childrten no-payment hospitals, I feel that they've really lowered their standards when they eliminated the Scottish or York Rite prerequisite.

[Redleg Duke]

I totally agree. It also hurts those bodies.

[Hacksaw]

Any idea what the Baphomet is or was?

I think Baphomet was or is a demon. (Replying to this a year late!)

[thackney]

bump for later

[dread78645]

I believe this was a Friday, and therefore is the direct link to the Friday 13 superstition.

It was.
As for the source of the superstition, it's as good as any reason I've heard.

[MissAmericanPie]

Very astute observation.

[hergus]

Are you on the POS mailing list with Steve Mizrach, TCP, Stella, Dante et al? I've been there since it started in 1998.I don't post much anymore, but read faithfully. My favorite study,I even found Godfrey d'Boullion in my genealogy....be whoop now a days though. {G}

Peace

[hergus]

Have you ever conversed online with Steve? If not you don't know all his beliefs by any means. I've posted with Steve since before he became DR.Steve. Give it up, you're out of your league here.

[hergus]

Baphoment was said by some of to be a head they worshipped, possibly John the Baptist. Other thinkers even say it might have been a machine that was part of a much older knowledge that the Templars found in their searches under King Solomon's Temple. The real reason they went to the crusades, btw.

I think you need to read more valid sources or talk with real Masons

[5Madman2]

It's good to see a thread on Masonry that has not totally degenerated into a "Grand Conspiracy" or "they're all Satanist"

It's also good to see fellow Masons on FR
