That's a disturbing position to hold.
Makes me want to question any and everything I hear or read from a Mason.
To move out of your home and let your neighbor die because you took an oath not to warn him is elitist, cowardly and quite arrogant in my opinion.
This is the problem I have with most of these types of groups.
They are full of self-importance, and the desire to determine the fate of other men.
When the dangers comes, they just scurry off with a sealed mouth and only want to protect the people in this special group.
I'd rather stay in my home and let it be destroyed than join a group that would behave in such a callous way.

More specifically, I'm questioning boondock and everything he's ever said. It seems to me like he's basically telling the OP to shut the hell up if you read between the lines.
I'll never trust a word you say, ever again boondock. Because it's clear you have no respect for HUMANITY being aware of the truth, just your little group of special retards who think their holy oaths are more important than human life.

Believe it or not, its not all that expensive, 6 grand maybe. but like i said, military lodges and districts are very fast tracked, especially lodges in Germany. If you are atleast 33 years old, you can become a 33rd. Its really all about who you know, and how much you got to spend when it comes to the organization
Because it's clear you have no respect for HUMANITY being aware of the truth, just your little group of special retards who think their holy oaths are more important than human life.
"Furthermore, I do promise and swear that I will not give the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress of a Master Mason, except for the benefit of the Craft while at work or for the instruction of a Brother, unless I am in real distress; and should I see the sign given, or hear the word spoken, I will hasten to the relief of the person so giving it."
The candidate is additionally instructed, however, that if he is in a place where the sign could not be seen, he is to utter a substitute for the sign: "O Lord, my God, is there no help for the Widow's Son?" He is additionally advised that the sign and these words are never to be given together.
In fact, the reason for this is to save lives... Loose lips sink ships....

Oh the drama on canvas that is being woven through these threads.
I will say only that the shame you are trying to ascribe to boondock is for the same thing demanded out of anyone with a TS clearance or higher in any military position.

I'm saying that it's not uncommon to find men of valor are required to keep secrets even if lives are in danger.

Yeah, I know that was pretty sexist, but I was intentionally being an asshole cause she was so adamant of proving that i'm a liar.... Sorry Aeon... I'll leave the sexist jokes in the lodge.....
