In the sense of what Freemasonry does for a man, all of it. In the sense of stating or hinting that Freemasonry supports a political candidate, none of it.

Now, what does that mean? It's not at all shocking. Marx didn't come out and say "Religious people are stupid.", for example. He said that religion is the "heart of the heartless world". His use of "opium" is better understood when one realizes that the amazing variety of painkillers, both...

I'm still used to associating incense with church. My church uses incense routinely--frankincense and myrrh, of course.

I have asserted nothing of the sort. Quote, specifically, wherein I stated that my own approach is how things "should" be done.

NO BIOLOGIST USES DARWIN'S THEORY AS HE PRESENTED IT. NONE. IT HAS BEEN UPDATED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE IT WAS FIRST PUBLISHED. STOP PONTIFICATING ON BIOLOGY UNTIL YOU KNOW SOMETHING AT ALL ABOUT SCIENCE. Also, archaeologists do not do biological research. An archaeologist presuming to pontificate...

Extended payment, if it is transferable and divisible. I have heirs.

Came across a great one. First interior picture showed a terrifying sag in the floor, wall, etc. Basically a "do not inhabit" problem. Then other pictures showed the "sag". Even the stainless steel kitchen sink had the same "sag"--with the SAME ARC. That's when I realized that the realtor had...

Was looking in anticipation of potential future employment

Looking at some home listings and I just have to ask--WHAT DO REALTORS SMOKE AND WHERE CAN I GET SOME? Their choice of pictures to take just defies explanation. WHY do they so often have a picture that prominently features the house number and nothing else? WHY do they take a picture of the lock...

The germ theory of disease. Just a theory, therefore, bacteria NEVER cause disease. The theory of gravity. Just a theory, therefore, gravity doesn't exist. The plain truth is that someone who makes a big deal over whether or not a scientific model is called a "theory" or not simply is showing...

This reminds me a lot of all those Vagante churches in the USA who like to call themselves "Orthodox" but have no actual connection to either the Eastern Orthodox or Oriental Orthodox communions. They are prone to inventing untraceable lineages and giving each other "recognition".

Re: Can a Jewish Brother Wear a Yamaka in a Lodge "Frowning" on something even if there is no explicit rule against it turns those who do that thing into a lesser class in the eyes of the "frowners". If it is a common practice, even if not mandated, it is an institutionalization of hostility...

Re: Can a Jewish Brother Wear a Yamaka in a Lodge For the yamulka to be "frowned upon" sets up a de-facto religious requirement against Jews.

Point to the specific law that enslaves such a man.

Re: if i came to you lodge on a stated what would 1. Dinner hour. 2. More casual than casual. 3. Personal recognition during stated meeting. 4. Everybody is either a Past Master or a new guy. (Small lodge, older membership)

I heartily suggest that one read the Bible from start to finish, in order. It has been given a particular order, why refuse to use that order? Why do people prefer all these schemes and "methods". Yes, that means you hop around from "subject to subject". LIFE hops around from "subject to...

If women want to form a real-world Bene Gesserit in parallel with our real-world Mentat's Guild, good for them. They don't seem to be eager to start.

Because it's a lot easier to tell the wife "I was down at the lodge with my brothers." than "I was down at the tavern with the guys."

Please forgive me, but this thread has forced this image into my mind and I must exorcise it: All life-memberships in my lodge doing MC Hammer's "Too legit to quit.", in full regalia.
