A few of us were duck huntin' in Northern wisconsin many years ago. I thought it a good idea to jump outta the boat with my shotgun on a muskrat lodge , while the other guys motored around the corner. I thought I would have clear shootin'. Then the lodge started to sink...................I think those 'rats were masons.

I'd love to say that I never disappointed my paternal grandfather (Papa). I never got the chance to square up with him on this issue.
I know this, he was no worshipper of Satan (Dad, uncle, etc. the same) and TRH isn't a fraction of the man he was. Threats of violence based on a web opionion are ridiculous, especially when you consider the source.
Full disclosure, if it wasn't already obvious, I am not a Mason. In my case, it was a matter of not having the time/commitment to take advantage of the "invite " (not sure what to call the conversation).

Keep this thread at the top until the end of the week. I need to hike up the mountain to leave Papa the 20 gauge hull I shot my doe with last week in OH. I'll take a pic of the stone wall next to where he's resting along with the view. You'll likely recognize the symbol.

If I find out that Freemasons are responsible for reduced sulfur in my diesel fuel  I'm gonna' hold em' in less regard than previous. So far it's all just rumor. GTC

I'm cutting out for Virginia on Wednesday, I hear Deflave and Bob are running amuck through the Virginia countryside and I need to check on them. I'll be looking for the photo!

There is no such thing as a 32nd Degree Mason. Scottish Rite,,yes. Masonry only has 3 degrees.
Well, what you say doesn't align at all with what I've heard all my life about my uncle from his and my close relatives, i.e., that he was a Shriner, and had attained the 32nd Degree in Freemasonry, which, I was told, is a requirement for becoming a Shriner. I've seen the pictures of him with the full Shriner accoutrements, hat, and whatnot, since I was a kid. He had a full-honors Shriner's funeral. Maybe that's cause your uncle was just as full of schit as you are?

One of our local Mason groups sell Brunswick Stew, not sausage if anyone would like to add that to the ruckus.
I know little of the group and honestly don't have any interest in another obligation of time and treasure but as many have said here the people I know who are members generally fall into two groups church going Christians, people who joined cause Grandaddy, Daddy etc were in it.

Where is the guy with the stick who is beating the dead horse?  After having some of our members with real experience come on and describing with good detail where the Masons fit in to their lives and describing how the Mason's fit into American society, why is this thread still alive? I think it's time to start showing pretty girls with various stages of undress similar to the .223AI just to keep this one going.  kwg ![[Linked Image]](http://pessimiss.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/teddy-girls-oyster-mag-2010-2-600x800.jpg) You are on a roll tonight, Fish. kwg

I keep reading about saber rattling and threats of violence and I honestly wonder if the people saying this are talking about me.
Of course, it doesn't matter. When I told Browneye that if he were standing in front of me and dishonoring my father there would be consequences.
That wasn't a threat. It was a statement of fact.

I just happened to run across a really nice baby cage on the fire that's worth sharing. It will easily hold three or four younglings. ![[Linked Image]](http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w188/TheRealHawkeye/HutchI_zps5785992d.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w188/TheRealHawkeye/Installed4_zpsf7d36d33.jpg) Masons are wicked good at building things. Cool!

Does Masonry conflict with Christianity in any way.? Well, since they worship Satan, I'd say so, yes. There's a lodge just a few blocks from my home, and I pass it on my daily walks. That's the worst piece of Bullchit i have ever heard. I don't know where you got that idea from but you can forget it, it's not true. I heard they burn babies as well...... Cat
