I had a meeting with a Master Mason last night and filled out my application. He was impressed by my fortitude and honesty. I will be initiated very soon and the lodge said they would rush my background check and are excited to have me. I can't wait until I can report that I've gotten my 1st degree, and I know the Grand Architect will bestow his blessings and aide for me in this endeavor; as he already has shown me such grace and charity.

I can't wait for my initiation!

I bet you're glad they don't usually check internet forum posts as part of the background. Seems like just last week you were posting anti-semetic crap and quoting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Glad you have everyone else fooled with your new profile.

Not to rain in your parade, but you do know there is a vote in your petition?

Yes I do. Why would that be a rain on my parade? I'm confident I'll get in, as God has brought me this far; he won't leave me. You couldn't take my joy if you wanted to because you didn't give me this happiness; God did. It's all up to the Grand Architect not mortal man.

I'm not going to entertain such a comment. That was rude and not truly representative of the way I feel currently. If you cannot accept someone who has had a change in heart, then the fault lies with you. My conscious is clear, because I no longer hold those views.

People don't spew anti-Semitic hate speech like you were on your last profile and then five minutes later pretend they were just "uninformed." Not to even mention you sporting a MM ring in your profile and handing out advice as if you were a full Brother until you were called on it. And if my Grand Lodge recognized the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of SC I would absolutely send a note to the SW at Tuscan 21 to guard the west gate.

Again I not going to entertain such contempt for someone who has made drastic changes in his life and conceptions. But I will say that I didn't lie during my interview. I told them about my previous views and tiled them of the trouble I had here. THEY also know that I'm a different person than before (praise God), and have reformed many false conceptions through an introspective process that was hard but fruitful. I am a different person. And it seems you have no ability to let go of something I have corrected and apologized for. Everything you brought to my attention I have corrected (my profile pic is blank) (the Jews are not a globalist sect looking to take the world over) (regardless of my knowledge of masonry I refrain from giving others advice and just ask questions)...... You are the one with a problem not me! I've just ignored you due to your unyielding stance on this subject.

According to you no one has the right to reform themselves and adopt a new and fresh conception, but rather you see me as the same person when I've given you no reason to. I'm glad the brothers here in SC are nowhere near your level of stagnant thought process and practice the principle of forgiveness. I wanted for us to have a good relationship but now I see that this will never happen which saddens my heart. If you think I'm faking or fawning; it's your problem not mine. I will continue to grow and I will become a mason regardless of what you say because it's ultimately not up to you, but for God to decide.

And to David612, I would have a problem joining any lodge that you are a member of. Let's do an investigation into your past to see what skeletons you have. As the Bible says "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." The young man has apologized numerous times but you keep dumping on him like you are the sole authority on what is proper. What I am seeing is an example of the intolerance that has invaded the world. On this forum so many people try to be funny or elitist at the expense of people who they don't agree with on something.

All of you should read the post by Squire Bentley regarding the treatment that he received in Pennsylvania.

Take due notice and govern yourselves accordingly.

I get the impression you haven’t actually gone through who has written what, I think you will find that I haven’t dumped on him at all.
Good try though-

Actually, I've been the one who has been most critical about him, not David. So if you want to try to admonish someone it is probably me you want. Maybe he is working to be better. But I have no intention of welcoming him with open arms when less than a week ago he was spouting hate speech and accusing Jews of all sorts of global crimes against everyone. If he does better himself, fine. Good on him. But expecting us to be proud of him for petitioning a Lodge only a few days after such reprehensible conduct is too far. I stand by my stance that I would vote against him right now and I know I am not alone in that. People don't get a pass just because they get called out and say sorry.

Yes I have. You were basically supporting what Winter had said. Neither one of you should be telling someone else who can or can't be a Mason.

I may not have a vote in the lodge he is petitioning but I absolutely can, and will, say that when I see someone being a racist that they should stay far away from Freemasonry.

And you have not spouted things that are unacceptable? Unless you are a member of the lodge to which he has petitioned, you have no say. Ignore him if he bothers you but don't keep putting the rest us in the middle.

Admin, please lock these threads as they're not adding to the discussion of Masonry.
