Not at all. I'll assume the OP's photo was shot near the end of the month, and it was dusty as heck.
Errr... did you even look at the picture I posted? That is not dust. The cloth hanging on the right clearly shows that the golden trimming is terribly worn. A little bit polish is not going to fix that. Please try to provide rational arguments if you're going to reply at all.
Rational arguments? How about you provide one shred of that little thing we call evidence before you assume freemasonry and the kkk are associated at all. Hs there been cross membership? Well through out the history of the USA and freemasonry in the USA I can logically assume that there has been. Are they associated in any way, shape, or form? NO.
Rational arguments my ass.

I would like to ask you a question. I just read this:
Originally posted by no1smoothaThere is no degree in Freemasonry higher than that of Master Mason, the Third Degree.[20] There are, however, a number of organisations that require being a Master Mason as a prerequisite for membership
What are these organizations? If the 3rd degree is the highest, how are you about to be a 32 degree?
What's taller: 3' or 33"? Which is hotter: 100° F or 100° C? Same idea.
The Master Mason Degree is the highest attainment but the York and Scottish Rite expand upon the morals and lessons talk within Craft Masonry.
HTH

This is a photo of an exhibit called "The Masonic Lodge" in Salamanca, Spain. The purpose of it is to show free-masonry's objects and symbols from an anti-masonic perspective, hence the symbol overkill and dark portrayal of the masons.
By the way FE is not Iron. It means Faith in spanish.
Hope it helps...edit on 27-4-2012 by Kosta123 because: (no reason given)
