No, but if you're going to make an assertion of a positive (that they DID exist), the burden of proof is upon you.

I am sorry, but would you please end your posts with (in my opinion). It makes it almost look as if you are stating fact the way you are posting. I would hate for some innocent poster to come by and take what you have posted as fact. that is, unless you have any supporting documents on your theory. Please note, this is not the grey area.

The Illuminati did not exist prior to Weishaupt.
There are no authentic Masonic rites in existence with 34, 35, or 36 degrees.

Not exactly, as the Illuminati did not exist at that time. The town would eventually become the Illuminati's headquarters, however.
He was the actual founder, along with the Baron Adolf Von Knigge.

No don't put words in my mouth or try to belittle me, you do realise this is a secret societies forum right? and i was just making a connection between a secret society(S&B) and an 'esoteric' society, How can you justify an all black cloak with the skull and bones on it in a Freemason storage facility.
Occult means hidden. Secret Societies are "hidden". Seems like the two go hand in hand. Yes. It's occult. It's hidden. It's secret. Does that mean it's evil?
Sorry but that cloak just screams out OCCULT to me?
In my opinion, there's no connection between the Yale fraternity called Skull & Bones and the organization known as Freemasonry. There may be some people who've been members of both, but that doesn't mean anything.
I'd like to hear your actual views on it disregarding the skull and bones connection.

How many coincidences does it take for it to stop being a coincidence? I believe the average Freemason is a good person just seems like they have been subconsciously brainwashed. for example the way they come to a conspiracy forum of which they do not believe in and defend freemasonry baffles me, Ho
nestly if i was a Mason and truly believed that this was all nonsense i would not waste my time with it.
