Ye've 'goat' to admit it's a good idea. But they'll need to develop a fireproof apron!

And don't forget the funny handshakes.

Won't it interfer with the racing, trying to drive with a trouser leg rolled up and your shirt hanging open?

#3 Not to mention the noose around your neck.

My old dad was a Master Mason .... and he'd be having an apopletic fit if he saw this article.

The Yanks never did understand what Freemasonry was all about. Like Religion, they subverted it and replaced Jehovah and the Great Architect with Mammon.

Personally (and this drove my dad nuts), I think Masons are every bit as bad all the other religions.

A member of the Masons and Scottish Rite, I do not agree with it either.

#5 Scaramouche, you have it wrong. We very much know what freemasonry is and it defiently is not a religion.

#6. "We very much know what freemasonry is and it defiently is not a religion."

Are you saying 'defiant' or 'definitely'?

Either way, it very much behaves like one. And after all, if it looks lika duck and quacks like a duck .....

Scaramouche
Obviously you didn't pay too much attention to what "old dad" said or did. The Masonic Order is NOT a religious organization. It does more good than most people realize but doesn't advertise it.
Get your facts, my man, before you go blowing off.
By the way, I don't agree with the public promotion. Typically Yank though. They can't seem to get anything right these days.

#8. You obviously can't read posts correctly either.

I never at any time said Freemasonry was a religion. But I have inferred very strongly that it behaves very much like a religion.

Of course my dad tried to get me into the Masons, but I dislike and don't trust 'organisations' of any kind. I only did ONE hour with the Scouts before I shot the craw!

"The median age of freemasons is now over 60" - maybe the organisation has had its day?

#10 Not yet I'm afraid. Remember that it is full of police, lawyers and judges.

yes and don't forget about the youth aspect of the groups De-mole' and the jobs daughters, may be it should keep it secrecy or maybe tiger woods will have free masons golf balls complete with the masons insignias. i respect traditions and this is a long standing one.

They're goats if they go public.
