"It is. I called and they told me to see if I could find a sponsor if I can't then call back and they'll see what they can do." - the lodge you called is clandestine?

I believe they are referring to what would be known as mainstream freemasonry

Brethren: I've been informed that in 3 years time I will be a candidate to run for WM. I was very excited to hear this most amazing and awesome news. Compared to most Masons Im fairly new to the craft (I had my second birthday last month! Baby Widows Son!) and am still learning the ins and...

My apologies to you. It's tough to determine tone through text. Ill be sure to analyze comments more thoroughly the next time. Thank you for your kind words though. Again MY apologies for the misunderstanding.

I wouldn't rely too on Jordan Maxwell. He been thoroughly debunked. I do agree with you BEDickey that there is more than way to look at the bible. But remember the bible, mainly the Old Testament is mesh work of stories that at one point or another have been told before. For example the flood...

"Can't tell you how much I agree with this. It drives me crazy. Small minded men in small minded times I'm afraid. I seriously told one fella who seemed to have strong illuminati/woo-woo type motivations flat out that what you see is largely what you get. And try my best to tamp down and debunk...

"One thing I've learned during my Masonic career is that if in doubt, suit up!" - I like this.

Nice. Congrats.

"The bulk of our ethos is an oral tradition which relies on no written word. It is not a philosophy in that sense. It is an experience and a journey, and trying to dissect it into formulas, theories and science is tough to do. Impossible, in my opinion. To build on, yes. To explain and create...

Definitely file a complaint.

"Then I skimmed Pike's book dogma (the thing is just tooooo long). And his book seems to be similar. Your organization seems to be neoplatonic in nature." Skimming through Morals and Dogma isn't going to do you any good. I've read it three time and still haven't grasped everything in it. I...

"I wouldn't say we never get anywhere--steel sharpens steel, after all." True say. "As for Jesuitical accusations against Freemasonry--that deserves a gigantic "SO WHAT?". Jesuits are infamous, worldwide, for their propaganda apparatus." True say.
