That is not exactly true. One cannot be in this building unless they are a member. And furthermore, this temple is a men's fraternity. If a woman visits this fraternity she must show certain items of accessories or custom that is recognized within the temple to be admitted. This was told to my friend and I as we were exiting out the building.

Since I have been inside a Masonic Temple many, many, MANY times , I can tell you, that I was NEVER searched, nor " forbidden " , by anyone , to see anything. I am a woman now, but even as a little girl, there was absolutely NO proscription of any sort. Yes, my gradfather was a well respected high office holding Master Mason . Still and all, when last I visited there, he had been dead for 40 years.

Not only was I treated with respect and decorum, I went on a thorough tour, and even remembered some of the rooms ; even though they had recently done a magnificent restoration of them. I was given several illustrated ( with photographs ) magazine type books, which contains all the rooms that I saw and even some that I hadn't seen. I have NO idea where you were, nor what you " claim " to have seen ; however, since this Masonic Temple is on of this country's major ones, your story is bizarre. I saw absolutely NOTHING that you described ... noy ever... not in any room. Yes, I most assuredly DID see the ones that the rites are performed in. Your a teller of tall tales; at best, and a pathetic LIAR to boot.

Freemasonry is NOT a " religion " ! It doesn't " take the place of a church ", nor any other libelous garbage, that I've seen spewed out on FR.

BTW, Barbra Striesand is a euphemism for bovine excrement, in a more vulgar form. It's also something, which you are full of !
