RockPuck,
How are you?
I would love to have a debate! What part of my original post would you like to debate?
I know! How about the Shriners investigation by the Better Business Bureau and Orlando Sentinel; lets start there!

Your knowledge is limited to your jurisdiction and your individual rite; as no one mason or non-mason can attain knowledge in every aspect of the craft.
Hi, nice to have you aboard, Question: Why do you think a mason's knowledge would be limited to one jurisdiction or rite?
I myself have lived and worked in many different jurisdiction, ie. Texas, Missouri, Washington D.C. etc.
I am also a member of different rites.ie. York Rite and the Scottish Rite which are the main rites here in the USA.
I also belong to several appendent bodys, such as the Shrine, AMD, Knights Masons, Royal Order of Scotland, York Rite College, etc.
I have held the top office in many of the local bodies also.
I know for a fact that this is not a unusal thing as for as masons go.
No one can claim to hold the complete knowlege on any subject, but to make an over reaching statment as you did, tends to show a very narrow veiw and a rigid steortype.
The Debate Forum under the scrutiny of judges is a really good place to cut to the essentials.
Because I am engaged in an evil plot to control what information flows on this Forum.

He is actually one of the elite high level Masons and he implements mind control so I can't think for my self and must do his bidding.
I don't care who you debate, ML had one set up but the anti ran away. I think it would be a good match up.

Even if you were a member of multiple rites and affiliates no one man could oversee all lodges and temples. It is impossible.
Fear you? As I said, I don't care who you debate, I was offering Masoniclight a turn at an Anti. He had wanted a debate and seeing as I just finished with my Anti, he should have a go.
You know, just sharing and giving other members a chance. The whole structured debate concept is new to the SS forum.
The only sources I see coming up about this case seem to come from Freemasonrywatch and Rense.
