Since I started that Freemasonry as religion thread I give you leave to necro it. :) It would be more appropriate there.

Freemasonry has no dogma and offers no salvation. How you view it is your own affair but don't be surprised if very few Brothers agree with you. http://www.midnightfreemasons.org/2021/08/is-lodge-my-church.html?m=1

Could you post the source for that quote so we can see it in context.

How does the SR teach all religions?

Are you a Southern Baptist and getting pressure from your church regarding your membership in Freemasonry? If not, it's just words on a website. Yawn. If this article makes your blood boil, wait till you read what a couple popes have written!

Was not claiming any knowledge whatsoever of Satanism. Only to Turin to the Masonic connection to Turin. I think you will find that this is a forum for Freemasonry. Not Satanism.

The esoteric myths and legends of Turin are an interesting read but it is no more "Masonic" than any other place that has a claim on any history connected to our Order.

Good luck in your journey but I doubt you would find any Lodges willing to accept your petition as a Satanist. While the matter has been debated (a search here and other places will find you those discussions) the overwhelming conclusion is that a Satanist would either not meet the requirements...

The Midnight Freemasons and the Masonic Round Table podcasts are quite popular.

The second degree tracing board lecture is very clear that the G represents (or one of the meanings) is that all of our actions are in the presence of the God. The Scottish Rite NMJ website has a nice article that touches on the ancient connections to the letter G's symbolism: The letter G...

I have regularly heard the term used as referring to a Grand Lodge. I also am a Regular Freemason. Maybe this entry from the Masonic Encyclopedia will help. Obedience of a Grand Body Obedience, used in the sense of being under the jurisdiction, is a technicality borrowed only recently by...

A masonic ring has masonic emblems on it. Though a ring can be an emblem itself. But my post was because the thread was about wearing emblems (I assume rings) when the Lodge is dark. Bro Stoffo posted a completely unrelated question about wearing a ring points in or out. Two completely...

No offense Brother, but your post has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion in this thread. It would be much more appropriate to either find a thread on this topic and necro it (just annoy Brother Nagy) or start a new one.

When I petitioned over 25 years ago I was clueless about how the process worked. So when I was raised in a Man to Mason class I thought that was just how it was done. It wasn't until later that I discovered how the degrees should work and I have been an ardent advocate against one day classes...

How stale is that popcorn!

I don't think anyone is suggesting you are. If so, I missed it. I don't think yours is a dup account.

This all began because you made the statement: "I have no doubt that Masonry is the evolution of Tironesian and Templar thought and relationships formed from 1128 onwards, right from Hugh de Payns relationship with Rotrou II of Chateaudun (patron of Bernard of Tiron) and Alfonso "the Battler"...

When Masons come together to explore topics here the discussion is almost always pleasant and respectful. But after years of uncountable cowens who seek to invade our space with crackpot theories some brusqueness can be forgiven.
