If anyone wants their soul back, I'll sell them at a discounted rate for the Holidays.
I take PayPal or PO money order. Jokes on you. Mine has a lien on it already. Found out too late, did you, that Old Possum is only one of his names?

What did you expect, the people that actually know about the subject and could have added to the knowledge base were all shouted down and branded as Satanists, those that don't know filled the thread with incoherent ramblings and accusations of devil worship and general slander.
Take a guess at what sect the accusers belong to.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Take a guess at what sect the accusers belong to. As for Masons, I don't know! Neither do I, and from the sounds of it most here are in the same boat. Yet you have 50+ posts on this thread while admitting you don't know squat. Looks like you're part of the problem...  Congrats?

I find it ironic how around here this dynamic plays out so often. A question is asked in the open forum and someone answers with their opinion (what else could one answer with?). This opinion may be one formed from complete ignorance or misinformation or not, but either way it is just that; opinion.
Then some individual with a differing opinion, also quite possibly (though not necessarily) formed out of ignorance or misinformation, attacks the first person. Not their opinion, mind you, but them as an individual.
Then oftentimes the other side will also attack on a personal level and the whole thing unravels. In many threads, however, the 2nd party feigns offense at what they see as misinformation or ignorance contained in the 1st party's defense of their opinion.
As the offense builds, the second party doubles down on the personal attacks, not recognizing that their personal attacks are of the very sort they were so offended by in the opinion of the first party.
Seems to me a better way to handle this would be to state opinions, take opposition with a grain of salt, and if a person sounds like they're full of crap don't engage because what would be the good in it anyway?
Anyway, I thought I'd add a contribution aside from the actual topic that helps us get to our 100 pg goal. My contributions, such as they've been, have been largely ignored so I hope I haven't contributed to the above disfuntion.

My contributions, such as they've been, have been largely ignored so I hope I haven't contributed to the above disfuntion. Very good post and I absolutely support and agree with your opinion. I usually don't comment in a thread once the kooks chime in however this particular thread was different. I have a great deal of tolerance when it comes to personal attacks but when I stated my opinion and then the honor and integrity of my father was attacked ... Katie bar the door. BTW, I was happy to get to 500 responses but 1000 seems likes it's going to happen. No beating dead horses yet. Stirring, stirring, stirring ...

... but when I stated my opinion and then the honor and integrity of my father was attacked ... Who was it who brought your father into this discussion? Also, could you quote where someone attacked your father's honor and integrity. I must have missed it. Family should be beyond the pale as targets in these discussions.

Not if you are a Mason! Even if you are sleeping or at work somebody else has your back. That's the way of the craft.

Here it is: Does Masonry conflict with Christianity in any way.? Well, since they worship Satan, I'd say so, yes.

I have read over a lot of material and I will state that some is fact but I will point out that there is a lot of missing material in these "facts"
Some of the things are obvious to a Mason but unknown to an outsider.
Kinda odd I didn't get flamed for being a Widowed Son......but we are the new guys
