Why do the mason's use this symbol for the women's chapter...
Surely the masons had to know that people would think that it is an evil symbol. A satanic pentagram. Did they want to scare off folks or did they want to be controversial and there by gaining more applicants by making the mason's seem more mysterious than they really are?

In a way, things like that are almost like an auto-filter. If a person isn't willing to investigate what a pentagram actually is beyond 1970's Satanic Panic films, they probably assume that person is incapable of learning anything else.

I see, so its the masons way of weeding out smarter people into their club?

hello, this i going along quite nicely....
one more question,,, always one more,,,
anyway,,,
why always solomon?
King Solomon is only one of the characters used in the Legend of Hiram Abiff. The Legend is fictitious, but it is a story that encompasses the philosophies and lessons of freemasonry
why not nebukanessar?
In the old days the brothers used a Legend of Noah to portray the lessons of the Fraternity. Any characters can be used as long as the principles, philosophies and lessons remain intact.

Hey buddy --- Glad to see you sharing honestly with the class.
There's this very interesting video that came out fairly recent, I'd like you to give it a quick watch and possibly write back with your thoughts on the many (many) symbols within the short film.
Though I can't stand that medium of design, I found the video to be really moving none the less.

The black and white tiles, this represents dimensions yea?
I asked an old friend of mine, who happens to be a mason in the blue lodge in town, his response was pretty coy: "If you don't see the chess pieces, it means checkmate."
---
Something I find *most* interesting are the symbology used *everywhere*. From Donald Duck to Sponge Bob, Nickelodean --- Majority of cartoons have at one point slipped an all seeing eye pyramid somewhere in their episodes.
What I am curious is, besides a hidden monicer --- Is there any "holistic" reasoning for placing these symbols within the subconscious of people (and specifically children)'s minds?
Symbols after all have power, arguably metaphysical power.
Thanks

That is the symbol of the Order of Eastern Star, of which I am not a member. But if a star scares someone away i would say being a member of said organization is not for them anyway

i don't mind talking to you, i was just asking if he's not allowed to respond ? i mean, the way your orgs are designed can be a bit confusing from the outside, looking in, such as pinocchio, who is talking riddles. i am not exactly sure how such things do anything for any one but the initiated, and since this thread is supposed to be here to help the uninitiated, it seems like pinocchio was fishing, not for the souls of men but the opportunity to make himself look good at the expense of people who don't know what the flip he's talking about.

1. don't let the usa erupt into a seething mass of racist violence. i am not equipped with a moral compass that allows me to murder people. it would be a massacre. people such as yourself made sure i had these moral standards and passed them on to my kin. either you set us up to fail or you get with the program and stop this thing before it gets totally out of control.
Im not sure what you're getting at here. i think you may believe that freemasons have way more power than we really do
2. was nimrod a master mason?
No
3. is it a coincidence that hiram abiff could also be read as hiram abyss?
Yes, purely coincidence. Quincy jones could be read as Quincy Bones. Solomon could be read as Sold All Men. People tend to make things fit and work in favor of their theories and suspicions
4. was jesus a master mason?
No, not in the sense of modern speculative freemasonry. He wasnt walking around with a black suit, apron, and gloves.
5. was jesus the last pharaoh ?
I dont believe so. i dont really know
6. was jesus a black man?

As a member of a chapter house I would like to ask yourself as a member of another hierarchy why the hierarchy in Britain would aid in the theft of a disabled girls inheritance and property, that being Tattershalls bloodstocks, Aintree propertys, Central and Cecil housing stock in London called that after some of the culprits and the area, her name Alice Hallworth - Fegan she was left all of these things in protected trust by her relative Lady Tattershall and the title as well, Lord Sefton was directly involved from the late 1940's onward as was Lord Derby and she was told it was the Heirarchy that had done this to her by a serving police officer in the 1980's and that the higher ups had told them to but out.
Protect the masons all you want but remember they were founded by the very act of breaking there oath and they were actually lower members not even of the second rank whom helped found the masons in Germany after they joined the merchants and masons guild, Remember the words of the true oath, I shall fight Satan in life and in death if it is possible for me, and remember it is far older than either you or us and goes right back to the crusade's (your claim to be descended from the builders of Egypt is 1700's gnostic mysticism and nonsense)- another reason why you have no validity except as a business club,. Oathbreakers and heirs of Oathbreakers.
I have stood upon the third rung and stepped all the way up but chose to step back one rung back onto the third.
Christ did die on the cross and he did rise - some lodges (especially at the third degree and above) place that in contempt and deny it blasphemously, some lodges that are in England and later pervaded America had there upper echelons polluted by members of the hellfire club whom also worshipped satan and were devotee's of the marquis de'sade so I have also this againt the lodge and would call any true seeker to the chapter house and the grand masters not the grand dragons since it is actually a form of non monastic brotherhood not a political and business venture thought there are those that claim to be us that are not us such as the AMORC and such.
Begin your search with the bible and seek to understand as you only need to join one house and these are not that as I long ago realised.
But if you must then at least make certain it is the real one not a bunch of alchemical sorcerers and hypocritical criminals.
Remember before you attempt to swear an oath of this type that Christ forbade it and he pointed out how dare you swear by god when you can not even control your own hair colour by will since an oath is an act of will.
Knowing this and even though I have renounced my oath I have never broken it as it was sworn with the best of intentions and is still noble in intent unlike the click of the masons and there look after there own, they stand for evil but I would lie if I denied that at times in the 1800's they did some very good work's but then as Christ said you can serve only one master.edit on 15-6-2013 by LABTECH767 because: (no reason given)
