Freemasons are commanded not to testify truthfully when another Mason is on trial. They admit that it may be perjury, but to them it is a far greater sin to not protect one of their own.


Um...oh dear. If I perjured myself.. I'm unfit to be a Freemason.... there is no such command non-freemason-reader...

Catherine Babington wanted to know what Freemasonry was all about so she hid inside a pulpit at meetings in Kentucky for over a year. When discovered, she was held captive for a month.

In the type of Freemasonry practiced in the United States female members are not allowed, whereas in the type practiced in Europe, women are generally allowed to be initiated.


Well... you learn something every day LOL...

Sun worshiping is the core of Freemasonry and probably many other secret societies.

When do I get to do that degree ?

At the time it was built in 1892 the Masonic Temple in Chicago, Illinois, was the world’s tallest building. It was twenty-two stories high.


True and a cool fact :)

The Eiffel tower is more than 3 times that tall and was completed in 1889.
If you're talking about actual buildings vs monuments, the Ulm Minister in Ulm, Germany is quite a bit taller and was completed in 1890.

Way to wreak a good story with some facts LOL.. Mind you, the word "building" suggests it's habitable which I would say the both are not....

When recording heights, they differentiate between buildings and structures. The generally accepted definition of a building is that it house regular human activity and that it have "floors." Ulm Minster is a church, with most of its height being the steeple, which is not occupied nor does it have floors.

The New York World Building was also taller, but only because of a light on top. The Masonic Temple had the highest occupied floor in the world at the time.
