Errr.... well you post a link that falsely tries to link masonry with gruesome murder. What do you expect?

I don't know if you noticed either, but this is a Secret Society forum. Like any of the other forums here on ATS, if somebody posts a false conspiracy it's going to be shot down.

Go to the religion forum. If somebody posts lies about Christianity, there are normally a few Christians who will point out the truth.

Go to the Politics form. If somebody posts lies about Democrats or Liberals, there are normally a few Democrats or Liberals who will point out the truth.

Go to the Military and Government forum. If somebody posts lies about Military or Government , there are normally a few people who work for the Military or Government who will point out the truth.

Go to the Space Exploration forum. If somebody posts lies about Space Exploration , there are normally a few people who are involved in Space Exploration who will point out the truth.

Go to the Medical Conspiracy forum. If somebody posts lies about Medicine, there are normally a few people who are involved in Medicine who will point out the truth.

Go to the Fragile Earth forum. If somebody posts lies about the Ecology there are normally a few people who are involved with Ecology who will point out the truth.

And so on......

See the pattern here? Still see a non-existent conspiracy? Still shocked that people who take part in and know something about a subject actually get involved in defending it from ignorance?

1770 Drs. practiced their trade. today 230 years later Drs. still
PRACTICE their profession. they spend their entire career
PRACTICING medicine. Then they retire because they are
tired of PRACTICING.

And they still practice on dead people today, at least bone surgeons do. I don't know about gynocologists and the rest. Im sure they probably do as well.

theres way to much tension on this board about masonry.....this is like the front line of the net where masons and there foes knuckle down! one person says anything remotely against masonry ( or posts any link that doesnt show masonry in a good light) and then all the big G pics appear outta no where!

First of all, what do you mean outta nowhere?!?! ML has been here for a long time, and if you have too then you would know that. i agree there is some tension, and I think your simile is somewhat correct, however that was not the way I meant what I said. Masonic Light posted, in response to your query (you were asking, not attacking, right?) a paragraph and a link to THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE and the first thing that comes out is "Funny how the Masons show up right away".

I just have to wonder why?

Why is that the first thing people think?

Why does he have to be a Mason first, really smart guy second? Because of his avatar? Are you for real?

Well im glade that setaled Id hate to think one of the most noted people in history was a raving murrdering lunatik. Of corse I sop its possible they duge up freash bodies for bioligy 101 in secret as it was fround appon.
Now they mite have been comminting a crime according to the barbarick laws of the time but it was a crime of care as they were trying to help people. There are times in wich you have to do what is considered wrong to do what is right.

Franklin stayed at that location for a decade and a half, so not a "short time". The rest is accurate though. Benjamin Franklin was not a good person, but i doubt he was a demented mass murderer. The anatomical studies did take place at the estate.

the house was owned by a widow named stevenson, her daughter married dr hewson. the house wouldn't have been hewson's property until long after ben lived there.

Well he could be a raving murdering lunatic, for all we know.
The way all these masons just instantly showed up and started putting a different spin on things.
And this is only the internet.
Perhaps you could imagine what they are capable of doing to information in the real world.
Not to say BF was a serial killer, in fact of course he probably was not.
But if you look at things from a different way, things like this are easy to cover up.

This is true. There were no human remains on the property during Ben's time there.

How can you be so sure about it?

Concerning the bodies, I have been watching "The Freedom Road", a film by David Icke.

It is stated there that BF was also a member of other secret societies, like "The Hellfire Club" which was into satanic rituals, and human sacrificing. He says that the recent recovery of bodies hidden under his appartment, only supports that fact.

And it is just not plausable that a man like him wouldn't have known what was going on at/under his own appartment, at the time of his residence there.

You're right, it's not plausible that he wouldn't know at the time of his residence there. But there's no evidence that the bodies were put there at the time of his residence, and plenty of reason to believe that they were put there after he moved out.

Well, if I understood the facts right, it has been established that the bodies are about as old Franklin's residence at that house. As in they were buried there at the time he lived there. So it would be a little too much of a stretch to just say "hey, I know Ben has nothing to do with that". And why? "Because I know Ben WOULD NEVER have anything to do with somehing like that". As if you knew him personally.

Tha facts are as they are, and it's much more logical that he was involved than that he wasn't "because everybody knows Ben Franklin's a good man".

Come on!

As for Ben...

Was Ben an evil killer? Did he just collect bodies as a hobby?

Who knows?

Maybe he was the FIRST Ben Linus?
