Interestingly, there was a related ( "Masons in Korea" thread ) started up a little while ago.

Let's open things up here a little more to allow for a general discussion of Freemasonry,
its history, controversies and supposed "merits".

One thing i find interesting is how Mason Lodges are presently stepping up to the plate
in an effort to play a more key role in micro-chipping society Shocked

My impression is there's a significant number of posters here who are loyal members.

So, here's your chance: fire away gents.

Hopefully you can help to shed a little further "light" on its "not-so secret" workings

Thank God, my father only belonged to the Elks Club (where he used to play rummy every day after teaching high school...)

Isn't there a link between the Masons and the Shriners (who ride around on those carts with their fez's...)

And, what about them "Mooses" ("Meeses"?) whatever...?

That's all we need, a step closer to having our rights taken away, and to be monitoried and controlled anywhere we go.

Who wants to have their fingerprints taken and have a cheek swab?

It is bad enough we as foreigners have our fingerprints taken when we work here in Korea. Why do we need fingerpirnts taken? To find out who was punching a drunk impolite Korean after he drinks 2 bottles of soju?

Why do children need to do this? From the possibiiity of kidnappings?
I bet they are saying "Don't worry, it's for a good cause, it will save children".

Suggestions for improvements? Hehe, plant an RFID chip in everyone's skull. With the world getting closer to being one true global network, people having an RFID chip in their skull can be monitored and controlled anywhere and anytime.

I'm reading this (really good) book right now- my dad is a 32nd and my moms has been Rosicrucian since the 60's...

Baigent and Leigh (coauthors of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail )

These guys write great books, I love their writing style...NOT masons, they play it fair and tell the truth...

Wow! Impressive response to the thread so-far Wink

I gotta say, one of the chapters in Freemason history i find most intereting is the nefarious Captain Morgan affair.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Morgan_%28anti-Mason%29

Anyone else know much about this? For those who're interested in learning more, i encourage them to do a non-Google WEBSEARCH.

After the details of this former member's murder came to light, enrollment in the Secret Society plummeted all throughout the USA.

Interestingly, one of the things that followed in the wake of all of this was the emergence of the ANTI-MASON political party.

Who headed its ranks? Why ... a HIGH ranking Mason of course Laughing

What would you expect?

My grandfather was a mason. I'm interested in what that was all about. At his funeral, a few came and did some sort of ceremony or something. I think that some people were put off by it, but I can't quite recall. Not that I was young (26), but it was a funeral so... Maybe I'll ask my dad.

Does Korea have a gentlemen's club where you can pay dues to enjoy their restaurant, their pool hall, their facilities, and it not be some kinky thang?

Kinda like the Masons without the ceremonial stuff. Are the Masons like the Rotory Club with club members going skanking every once in a while? What, the hey, happens in them meetin's of theirs? Like an agenda listing or a program listing.

The 1st degree initiation ritual is quite interesting. Pant leg rolled up to the knee, knife to throat ( to remind them what happens if they ever divulge what they learn )

Man killed in Masonic gun ritual Shocked

By Emma Simpson
BBC News, New York

An initiation ceremony at a Masonic Lodge in New York has ended in tragedy after a man was killed during a ritual for new members.
William James was accidentally shot in the head when a lodge member used a real gun instead of a blank pistol by mistake.

The alleged gunman, a freemason aged 74, has been charged with manslaughter.

It was supposed to have been the climax of the initiation rituals at the Southside Masonic Lodge in Long Island.

Police said that William James was forced to sit in a chair with a gun pointed straight at him.

The aim was to frighten their new recruit ( so reports BBC )

But Albert Eid, a long-serving freemason, had two guns in his pocket, one with blanks and one with real bullets.

He apparently pulled the wrong one, killing Mr James.

The initiation rituals and symbols of the Masons have long been shrouded in secrecy but the grandmaster of the New York State Freemasons issued a statement denying that guns played any role in official lodge ceremonies.

William James was apparently being sworn into a select group within his lodge but it was a prank which went fatally wrong

What about the UNfree Masons? Are they all living in Sicily, caged up unless sent overseas to work building American suburbs???? Have any escaped and gotten over here to Korea? Do they have a sorid tale of conspiracy, secrecy , pedophilia and political intrigue to share? Are these the unheard of boatpeople that come up on the radar screen in the Sea of Japan? Are they infiltrating the Korean church??? Why aren't the Free Masons helping their suffering brethren? Or are they too busy being a bigger and better mob..?

Maybe there are sub-sects within the Freemasons. I had a friend in New Zealand whose father was a prominent member, in England. What she told me about what hapenned to her a a child as part of Freemason rituals was so incredulous I dismissed it. Then I picked up a book a while later which made allegations about the Freemasons which precisely mirrored her claims. Scary stuff. I won't recount the claims here, as they are just too horrible for public consumption.
