No, it doesn't. You and your totalities... I've seen real bones, but I've seen plastic ones too. To my knowledge, they're only used in York Rite "chambers of reflection" where a candidate can meditate or pray prior to going through one of their degree rituals. Real bones are obviously more expensive, and not every York Rite body is going to be able to afford them. Plastic is a perfectly acceptable substitute.

Saying that the skull and bones using in freemasonry are made of plastic is absolutely false, your other mason friend Augustus, has already recognized real human skull and bones are used in masonic rituals. This shows how much you lie.
We don't exist solely to be a philanthropic institution. That's just a side effect. We're about making good men better, remember? The bones don't teach morality, they're there to remind us of mortality note the "t". They're reminders that as men, we all die, so the legacy we leave behind is our good deeds while we were here on earth. If you live your life so that you could die at any moment and could do so knowing you had no regrets, had treated no person poorly, had been a good husband, a good father, a good friend to those around you, then you've lead a good life. This is one of the lessons Masonry teaches.
And you have not shown any scientific proof stating that, use of human skull and bones are absolutely required to teach moral values. No other philanthropic institution does such kind of wicked things.
Most likely from fraternal supply catalogs like the one Lucifer777 keeps posting. Augie already gave you a link to one place that sells them. And since plastic is also an option, that opens it up to a lot more vendors. But even real bones can be bought at medical supply shops (generally for anatomical study, but it's not like you have to sign a statement of intent when you buy them...)
And you have not stated from where freemasonry acquired such bones,
Stop being an Indian apologist. It is very obvious that many of your fellow countrymen have no respect for the dead and will gladly sell the remains of others to the black market. This has nothing to do with Masonry and everything to do with greed. Why do you continue to allow this to happen?
USA Today

Trafficking in body parts illegally harvested from the dead is a lucrative, underground business driven by growing demand for human bones and tissue, a USA TODAY investigation has found.
Over the past 19 years, more than 16,800 families have been represented in lawsuits claiming loved ones' body parts were stolen for profit. During that period, profits from the sales of thousands of suspected stolen bodies are believed to have topped $6 million (a figure USA TODAY based on estimates from federal and local investigators, lawsuits and public organizations such as medical universities).
Funeral home employees, crematorium operators and others with access to the recently deceased have secretly dismembered corpses, taking non-organ body parts such as knees, spines, bone and skin without the knowledge or consent of family members.
Modern-day body snatchers provide bones, tendons and body parts other than transplantable organs to tissue banks, research facilities and other buyers.
LA Times
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office announced criminal charges Wednesday against two men who allegedly ran a cadaver-trafficking scheme involving UCLA's medical school, capping a three-year investigation that led to the temporary closure of the school's body donor program.
Henry G. Reid, 57, an embalmer from Anaheim who was director of the "willed-body" program from 1997 to 2004, was charged with conspiracy and grand theft for allegedly funneling donated bodies to a middleman, who then sold parts to others for profit.
Source.
there are all sorts of shady (and fascinating) characters who are willing to employ questionable practices-from deception and outright theft -- to acquire, market, and distribute human bodies and parts. In Michigan and New York she discovers funeral directors who buy corpses from medical schools and supply the parts to surgical equipment companies and associations of surgeons. In California, she meets a crematorium owner who sold the body parts of people he was supposed to cremate, generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits.
Their is no need to use skull and bones, to teach lessons of morality or mortality. Link.

Why would I need to show scientific proof? We're not talking about science.
Pedagogy is the study of being a teacher or the process of teaching. The term generally refers to strategies of instruction, or a style of instruction.
Pedagogy is also occasionally referred to as the correct use of instructive strategies (see instructional theory). For example, Paulo Freire referred to his method of teaching adult humans as "critical pedagogy". In correlation with those instructive strategies the instructor's own philosophical beliefs of instruction are harbored and governed by the pupil's background knowledge and experience, situation, and environment, as well as learning goals set by the student and teacher
The late Malcolm Knowles reasoned that the term andragogy is more pertinent when discussing adult learning and teaching. He referred to andragogy as the art and science of teaching adults. Source.

The main findings of this study revealed that the adult learners are enthusiastic and actively participate in learning when their learning materials are embedded with cultural symbols.
And even, why such a thing as mortality is even needed to be taught. which is obviously known to everyone.
Freemasonry has definitely used the science of teaching and psychology to hypnotize and brainwash it's members. That aspect of freemasonry has been repeatedly proven as true on this thread.

Instead of ranting, will you provide some scientific proof that using human remains are necessary to teach morality, mortality.

The skull is a symbol of mortality and has been to many different cultures, ideologies, and organizations. This is irrefutable.
I think that the general claim made in the thread title, that Freemasons have been heavily involved with "Colonialism, Wars, Genocides and Revolutions," has been pretty much conceded here by KSigMason, who is a member of the US military.
The linguistic confusion and the opportunity for Freemasons to confuse matters sets in whenever the term "Freemasonry" is used instead of Freemasons, since "Freemasonry" appears to be some kind of abstract concept in the minds of Freemasons, so once can accuse "Freemasonry" of anything and it will always be innocent because it is not a "thing" nor a "person," whereas that Freemasons are persons who have been involved in Colonialism, Wars, Genocides and Revolutions is quite obviously the case.
and indeed posters such as KSigmason, who is part of the US military, actually define this as being "good;" this is also not unique to the Freemasons but it is also part of the mindset of the Neofascist US Christian Right for whom Neofascism, Nationalism, patriotism, anti-Communism, anti-Socialism and Capitalist, Imperialist revolution are all entwined into their faith.

CLEARFIELD, Utah (AP) - Police serving a search warrant in a drug investigation said they found something more ghastly in a backyard shed: Two human skulls in a shrine, and several hundred pounds of animal bones, flesh, and blood believed to be part of a religious ceremony.
Roberto Casillas-Corrales, 53, of Clearfield, remained jailed Monday, a day after he was arrested for investigation of abuse or desecration of a human body. Authorities say he may also face several charges of cruelty to animals.
"We believe it's a religious ritual at this time," said Mike Stenquist, assistant police chief in Clearfield, about 20 miles north of Salt Lake City. "He's been performing some type of ceremonies in his backyard shed, and that would include the sacrificing of animals, lambs, sheep, goats, rams and chickens."

The witness also claims that, in 1961, when she was four years old, she and an aboriginal girl named Rosemary, who was six, were abducted and jailed in a farmhouse owned by Freemasons where they were serially raped. Rosemary had been abducted from the local Indian reserve. During the rapes, Rosemary tried to help the witness escape from the barn and was caught and killed, and then her skull was displayed in the local Freemason Hall.
Annie PARKER states that she was raised in North Bay, Ontario and was used in a child pedophile ring in that city by her father, LEN PARKER, who was a prominent Freemason and newspaper editor who was associated with the NORAD military base in the same city. Annie PARKER says her father raped and tortured her throughout her childhood, and was involved in "mind control research" at the aforementioned NORAD base.
MICHAELSON, obtains women and drugs from him, and relies on MICHAELSON to dispose of his victims after he has raped, tortured and killed them. Witness says that BOUDRAIS works for a computer programming company tied to the Canadian military or the federal government, and gives seminars in Ontario and Montreal, where he is domiciled. Witness claims that BOUDRAIS, like MICHAELSON, is a Freemason.

It has zero relevance to any aspect of your arguement
Narcotics and the Vietnam War
In 1967, another opium war was being waged in northwestern Laos. At stake was Burma’s opium exports (five hundred tons annually), a third of the world’s total illicit supply. General Ouane and the CIA won the war, but their victory precipitated an escalation of the Vietnam War. Only the British Masonic bankers benefited.
President Kennedy also knew that the American Mafia was involved in the southeast Asian heroin trade. He was fully aware that the CIA-backed Vietnam War was being fought over the control of drugs.
Kennedy planned the withdrawal of one thousand troops from Vietnam, beginning December, 1963.
Six months after his decision to pull the troops out of Vietnam, Kennedy was assassinated, and three days after the assassination, Freemason President Lyndon B. Johnson reversed Kennedy’s movement toward a military disengagement, permitting American troops to stay in South Vietnam. Source.
Most famously opium was the weapon used by the ‘British’ (the London-based Babylonian Brotherhood) in the Opium Wars against China in 1840 and 1858.
Chinese efforts to stop the flow of opium into their country were thwarted by the might of the British Empire. Queen Victoria’s Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister during the Opium Wars was Lord Palmerston, the Grand Patriarch or Master of Grand Orient Freemasonry, and a member of the Committee of 300.
The vehicle for the opium trade from India to China and elsewhere, was the East India Company, a group of Scottish merchants and Freemasons who were aligned with the Knights of St John of Jerusalem (Malta) and the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits.
The Treaty of Nanking of 1842 gave Britain control over Hong Kong, plus about £15 million in silver. It was written by the Freemason and Colonial Minister, Edward Bulwer-Lytton (Comm 300) , whose writings were to so inspire Hitler, the Nazis, and mystics like Madame Blavatsky. Bulwer-Lytton wrote of the Vril power (serpent power) in the blood of the ‘underground supermen’. Bulwer-Lytton’s son was the Viceroy of India at the height of the opium trade between India and China, a period ‘camouflaged’ by Rudyard Kipling’s writings about the British Raj (British drug runners).
Philadelphia and Boston, the headquarters of the Northern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, were (and are) other centers for the drug trade. A descendant of Astor, Waldorf Astor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, was a high degree Freemason who became chairman of the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London after the Second World War. The RIIA (Royal Institute of International Affairs) is extensively involved in coordinating the global drug trade.
Today the Far East heroin trade is still organized by the Freemasons through their interconnected agents, the Triads. These are the Mafia of the Far East and increasingly the Western World also, as in Vancouver, Canada.

In 1956, Hoover was becoming increasingly frustrated by Supreme Court decisions that limited the Justice Department's ability to prosecute people for their political opinions, most notably, Communists. At this time he formalized a covert "dirty tricks" program under the name COINTELPRO.
This program remained in place until it was revealed to the public in 1971, and was the cause of some of the harshest criticism of Hoover and the FBI. Its methods included infiltration, burglaries, illegal wiretaps, planting forged documents and spreading false rumors about key members of target organizations and flooding L.A. with drugs. Source.

If Freemasonry's wicked methodologies of teaching are the best way of teaching moral values. Then every other Institution would start doing rituals prescribed in freemasonry to teach.
...your ignorance about scientific teaching methodologies, shows how dumb Freemasons are.
Actually Freemasons have childish nature, who are needed to be taught morality, guess they have not attended enough classes for that in schools, they must have been bad boys in school.
Skull symbolism is the attachment of symbolic meaning to the human skull. The most common symbolic use of the skull is as a representation of death and mortality, but such a reading varies with changing cultural contexts.

Earliest use of skull and bones was by roman catholic church, NAZI SS, Order of the Skull & Bones and secret societies. And freemasonry claims to be none of that.
