The quote was 1st published in about 1917: It’s a Kessinger republished book and is available from Amazon, as is another book by Ronayne ‘The Master's Carpet: Or Masonry and Baal-Worship Identical; Reviewing the Similarity Between Masonry, Romanism and the Mysteries, and Comparing the Whole, With the Bible.”
“The Regius Poem, also known as the Halliwell Manuscript” dated as early as 1388 and refers to the period of Masonry during the reign of King Athelstan from about 925: This Manuscript has in it Articles and Points [it can be read in books and on-line, so I won’t reproduce it in its entirety here.] But, I will cite some of it, as it applies to our study of the information quoted above: Article 7 states – “That a master shall not harbor thieves, murderers, or one ‘that hath a feeble name”: Article 15 says that “A master is not to ‘ maintain his fellows in their sin for no good that he might win; nor no false oath suffer him to make, for dread of their soul’s sake.”

Not sure were you have the impression from that I stated sex is evil? However, how do you justify placing sexual content hidden and in plain sight in Disney movies such as an erect Penis, or the obvious erection in the mermaid movie (which was later removed)?
It has no place of being in there and has nothing to do with sex being evil. Sex is for adults, not children. It goes back to going over the family values Disney teaches our children, especially girls.
The Palace with the Phallus Claim: One of the castle spires on the cover of Disney's The Little Mermaid home video was deliberately drawn as a phallus by a disgruntled artist. Status: False. Origins: One of the castle spires in the Artwork in question background of The Little Mermaid promotional artwork bears an unmistakable resemblance to a penis, so much so that many people are unwilling to dismiss the drawing as mere accident or coincidence. Rumors started circulating shortly after the release of the videocassette edition of The Little Mermaid that the phallic object had been deliberately drawn as a last act of defiance by a disgruntled Disney artist who was miffed at being notified that he would be laid off at the conclusion of the project. The plain truth is that the resemblance between the castle spire and a penis was purely accidental, and it was drawn by an artist who was neither disgruntled nor about to be dismissed.
First of all, the artist who created the video cover art did not work for Disney itself, thus he was neither "disgruntled with Disney" nor "about to be fired." We questioned the artist, who also drew artwork for Little Mermaid theatrical advertising, pop-ups, greeting cards, Happy Meal boxes, and CDs. The theatrical posters were done before the original release of the film, but the video cover art was not created until a few months before the home video version hit the market. Rushed to complete the video artwork (featuring towers that were rather phallic to begin with), the artist hurried through the background detail (at "about four in the morning") and inadvertently drew one spire that bore a rather close resemblance to a penis. The artist himself didn't notice the resemblance until a member of his youth church group heard about the controversy on talk radio and called him at his studio with the news. The later laserdisc release of the film was issued with a cover containing an altered version of the infamous spire. Contrary to common belief, the phallic-like spire did not make its first appearance with the cover to the home video version. The same background drawing of the castle, with the same spires, appeared in promotional material and posters that accompanied the film's original theatrical release. The video cover does differ slightly from the original version, but the castle shown in the background is the same in both versions. (Later versions of the laserdisc cover were altered to remove the offending spire.)

Again, it is from the spanish pesos and the symbols ON the peso. There is nothing more to debate. You can make a to b to c to d to e to f to g and claim thats what it is and its "common knowledge to people who study the occult" Doesnt make them more right than almost every historian with nothing to gain who says otherwise.
And did you read the article? Doesnt seem like it. And your only line about him not being a disgruntled employee misses one of the points entirely.
HE WAS NOT AN EMPLOYEE OF DISNEY. Thus you cant make a claim that DISNEY had anything to do with this.

No claim other than Disney placed this image on advertising material and retail merchandise.
Hahahaha, sorry BK but your argument would not stand up in court.
EDIT
Since you are arguing about money, what about the little owl found on the dollar bill? Where would you say that came from?edit on 1-1-2013 by FriedBabelBroccoli because: 101
A common theory holds that it derives from the Spanish coat of arms engraved on the colonial silver coins, the reals, (among them the Spanish dollar) that were in circulation in Spain's colonies in America and Asia. Reals and Spanish dollars were also legal tender in the English colonies in North America, which later became part of the United States and Canada. In 1492, Ferdinand II of Aragon adopted the symbol of the Pillars of Hercules and added the Latin phrase Non plus ultra meaning "nothing further beyond", indicating "this is the end of the (known) world." But when Christopher Columbus came to America, the legend was changed to Plus ultra: "further beyond." Spain's coat of arms The symbol was adopted by Charles V and was part of his coat of arms representing Spain's American possessions. The symbol was later stamped on coins minted in gold and silver. These coins, depicting the Pillars of Hercules over two hemispheres and a small "S"-shaped ribbon around each, were spread throughout America, Europe and Asia. For the sake of simplicity, traders wrote signs that, instead of saying dollar or peso, had this symbol made by hand, and this in turn evolved into a simple S with two vertical bars.

What isnt standing up in court? The fact that the employee who did this was NOT an employee of Disney?
New for ya, alllllll of what lady has presented would NEVER stand up in court either my friend. So lets not bring up the scrutiny of court because this would all get thrown out instantly.
Negligence
The duty to guard against negligence and supply a safe product applies to everyone in the chain of distribution, including a manufacturer who carelessly makes a defective product, the company that uses the product to assemble something else without discovering an obvious defect, and the vendor who should exercise greater care in offering products for sale. These individuals owe a duty of care to anyone who is likely to be injured by such a product if it is defective, including the initial buyer, that person's family members, any bystanders, and persons who lease the item or hold it for the purchaser.
Additionally, the duty to exercise care involves all phases of getting a product to the consumers or users. The product must be designed in such a way that it is safe for its intended use. It must be inspected and tested at different stages, made from the appropriate materials, and assembled carefully. The product's container or packaging must be adequate. The manufacturer must also furnish adequate warnings and directions for use with the product. The seller is proscribed from misrepresenting the safety or character of the product and must disclose all defects.
The best documented explanation reveals that the sign evolved out of the Spanish and Spanish American scribal abbreviation "ps" for pesos. A study of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century manuscripts shows that the s gradually came to be written over the p developing a close equivalent to the "$" mark.[3][4][5][6][7]
Alternative hypotheses:
Slash 8
Greek mythology
Alchemic sigil for cinnabar
Spanish coat of arms
From "U.S."
ETC....
This is not true--the artist was one of Disney's top layout artists who has worked on and off for Disney since the fifties and still does.
To quote my source, "He did intend for the tower to look like a penis, but when he finished it, he realized it was bit too obvious.

Origin
The sign is first attested in British, American, Canadian, Mexican and other Spanish American business correspondence in the 1770s, referring to the Spanish American peso,[1][2] also known as "Spanish dollar" or "piece of eight" in British North America, which provided the model for the currency that the United States later adopted in 1785 and the larger coins of the new Spanish American republics such as the Mexican peso, Peruvian eight-real and Bolivian eight-sol coins.

Are you saying that none of those images are in these G rated children's flicks produced and distributed by Disney?
Also your so called debunking of the $ sign is merely a theory, along with many other theories.
