I'm am finally a Master Mason... Any Questions?

reply to post by IAMGabriel


Neither.

Any Freemason worships however, and whoever they choose. They must believe in a single, ever-living creator. They can call it whatever they want.

Wow. No standard so you can misinform (or rather disinform)?

reply to post by KSigMason


You don't seem to be quite informed enough to determine the nature of my informing, com-padre. I simply said No. It was a dismissal, not a response.

reply to post by angrysniper

Well, we're trying to establish a standard definition of words. You said:

That you were taught one thing, and I was taught another.

So we asked you for a definition of the words and you have refused to do so. Why are you posting here if you refuse to establish a standard of words to go by?

Quit trying to make yourself sound more important than you really are.

I will no longer be replying to you. Have a good night.

reply to post by angrysniper

Huh...so this is what you do when you get

OWNED

reply to post by KSigMason


Whatever your ego needs to hear, sure. You're absolutely right. You 'owned' me.

Now, following this post, I will no longer be responding to you my child. I encourage you to learn the meaning of decorum and respect in your travels.

Good day.

Well, I at least support my arguments and define my terms instead of being vague, generalized, and self-important.

I have a question,

Being you're a Master Mason, could you build a really cool CASTLE with catapults and one of those big cauldron things over the doorway for molten metal for the Ninjas?

That is Masonary, whereas we practice Masonry.

Big difference!

But, I happen to know some who are BOTH, so maybe I could hook you up.

OMG I thought you guys were called STONECUTTERS!! And built really awesome brick walls...

Wait, aren't you the guys that make those JARS, that my Grandma used to put peaches in?

Totally messing with you BTW.

Carry on.

I put Peaches in a jar. Peaches was my neighbors Pomeranian. Do you want to come over and play with me?

Peaches & Herb, Reunited. And it feels so good. Just remember which jar has the peaches, and which has the herb, next time you want to light up.

Whereas I support the rights of any individual wishing to join any club or society they wish, I can't help but feel this is an outdated and chauvinistic "old boys network" club.
I have always been a strong and independant woman who believes in equal rights between the sexes and although I have no desire to join this sort of secret society I find it offensive that I couldn't if I chose to do so.
It is said in my family that my great uncle was something quite high up in the masons and there is evidence to suggest that this is true so I am not biased against it in anyway, I just feel it is a stale idea that re-inforces the male dominance over women, and that is what I find unacceptable.

There are plenty of women-only organizations that I can't join either. Don't such groups reinforce the female dominance over men, following your logic?

Do you find it as equally offensive that men can not join sororities? You know, sometimes guys just need to hang with the guys and girls need to hang with the girls. People need to stop being so politically correct where no political correctness needs to be applied.

Maybe I did not make my point clearly, I apologise.
I should have said that I do not believe that, in this day and age, there is a need for any society/organisation/club to discriminate on grounds of gender (or any other form of irrelevent discrimination)
Surely mankind has come far enough to respect and embrace each others differences without excluding anyone unnecessarily?
Yes I know I am a bit of an idealist!

Sooooooooooo.....

Coed Showers at the Gym? I mean surely we have evolved far enough that the mere sight of another human being naked isn't going to cause any silly complications, and our significant others will have no problem with it, because they know we are enlightened.

Yes, I'm beginning to come around to your point of view. No reason for silly segregation of the sexes, it is immature and uncivilized to think otherwise. Now, lets hit the showers!

Well as we were discussing Freemasonry I fail to see where your response is applicable. However, if you want to reduce it to the physical then I feel I must point out that I have been in mixed sex saunas and public toilets in Europe and yes, both genders were naked. They seem to be able to control themselves without any issues and although the UK has yet to reach that level of enlightenment I think it goes to show that we are, as a species, capable of being all-inclusive.
