The Masons are a dying breed. It was a sign of the end when they started recruiting drives on the street. To the dude in the photo, you rock!

Awesome ATS gear on front of a Masonic Lodge! Perfect as it is one of the 'hot topics' here on ATS.
Ya, calling the cops on a guy for siting on the sidewalk for 'loitering' is COMPLETELY rational isn't it?
I also love how the Mason's on this board are so like fish, throw some bread crumbs and watch them swarm.
The OP is simply showing off his ATS rags and yet the Masons feel the need to defend their society...
Honestly the fervor with which you guys attack anything "out-side looking-in" makes me suspicious of you and yours.

Also, I'd say less than half of the replies pointing out this is ridiculous aren't from masons. The fervor in which people like you assume anyone who speaks the truth and defends masonry IS a mason makes me suspicious of you and yours.

The fact is that books have been written about what the masons and many other organizations are really about. It is no secret that men will try to advance their station by joining other men in a secret brotherhood.
It hearkens to the very same thing as being in a gang. You join for the camaraderie, and also for the protection it affords, and of course to become more powerful as a group and thus enjoy the perks that go along with that power...money.

Nice try, but if you read the OP its quite clear he thought he was "standing up against the man" or something. I don't think anyone really cares that he was loitering, but it does look bad for ATS. If someone is so misinformed and believes so much propaganda that they think they are being daring and dangerous by sitting in front of a hall, they certainly are not denying ignorance.
