Here we see that in Freemasonry, both aspects of masculine and feminine are embodied within the Goat God or Baphomet.

This does not create a clear link to homosexuality and Freemasonry, however, it supports the argument that such behavior may be tolerated and not out of the norms of various lodges. The local lodge is called the "Blue Lodge." different lodges may have different norms and there is also a hierarchy from state to state on what is allowed. For instance, in certain states, women are permitted to join lodges.

While these things are not permitted as rituals in the Temple, it does not mean that members may not take it upon themselves to participate in such mockery. I detest the debasement of innocence and how absolute power tries to hide behind religion and Fellowcraft. Such power should be outed. It is the duty of every Mason to correct the problem themselves if they are unwilling to stop it by letting the light shine on the dark thing. Most become Freemasons to be better people. Those that misuse it are worthy of...

As others will tell you, there is good and bad in every organization. No organization is inherently evil. Every organization is subject to graft, but few will admit the folly when it occurs because of oaths and allegiance. Many use the Craft to their aim of gaining power and hiding their deeds which are unseemly. I think that this is wrong and gives the Brotherhood a bad name.

In an earlier post, I did not mean to sound dismissal with regards to Freemasonry, when I mentioned the duality of Baphomet. It is just that there is a philosophy which postulates that such differences may not be as black and white as the uninitiated suppose. I know that there are Brothers here. It is incumbent upon the initiated to own up to misdeeds of those unworthy and maintain the oath to support democracy and society that was taken early on in the journey.

Doesn't it seem kind of, I don't know, contradictory?
I mean, we got some people who think the Freemasons are evil neoconservatives out to dominate the world via the wealthy elite..
All the while pushing a liberal homosexual agenda?
I don't get it. But then again, this same guy, Chad, also said in another thread of his Freemasons where just clueless to anything because Druids where controlling their minds?
From my readings of ATS articles I think I could agree that Conspiracy theorist tend to be anti "elitist" or anyone with money, anti Mason and anti Semitic. I don't believe all are as I my self happen to be a conspiracy theorist, but I can surely see how those comparisons can be made.
This is just not based in fact. No such behavior would ever be tolerated in a lodge[homosexuality or sexual rites], what people do outside the lodge is none of the lodges business - although none of the accusations of the flavor made here are likely to ever happen to begin with.
Of course the facts also dictate that while there is bad in every organization, there are multiple organizations that one can join that would be much more efficient to do all the evil things masons are accused of. Also, combined with the fact that there are millions of members and the few scandals that occur can be counted on 1 hand - with an organization that has exited for coming close to 300 years - means we're doing good compared to other organizations.

What's more important to a Freemason, justice for a non-Mason or preserving the name of Freemasonry?

Is it true that in war Masons are safe from their enemy if their enemy recognizes then as a fellow Mason through signs of fellowship, (widow's son)? If their enemy saves them, then who really are they loyal to first, their country or the Great Work?
Originally posted by Anonymous ATS Could the few incidences of of Freemason scandals be more a function of control through influence of the media, criminal justice system and other control functions within society? Thank you for your anticipated response to that which you not bound by oath to conceal.
Masonic author Carl H. Claudy: "The real secrets of Masonry are never told, not even mouth to ear. For the real secret of Masonry is spoken to your heart, and from it to that of your brother [Mason]. Never the language made for tongue may speak it; it is uttered only in the language of the eye, in those manifestations of that love which a man has for his friend, which passeth all other loves, even that of woman.
