i would only be interested in a Q&A if i could be guaranteed to get all the answers from an ex-mason. not necessarily an anti-mason, but rather someone who knows every detail of the fraternity and would be willing to answer all questions. otherwise all answers will surely be coming from the biased defending position. this is probably not a possibility though.
no its not. I learned this in the Military. its a memory check, spectacles
I see people make the sign of the cross by touching forehead, shoulders, and chest etc, to me that is absolutely pointless
as an individual i would never make an oath that ties me to a group of men that largly i do not know
This symbol was used primarily amongst Christians of the early church years
Bottom line is not everyone is welcome.

axeman, i hadnt thought of that. i suppose it does show initiative, but i imagine (not sure) that most masons know other masons and want to be part of the club before they go knocking on lodge doors.
please axeman, elaborate on the 'truth' would you? or dont
lastly, as an individual i would never make an oath that ties me to a group of men that largly i do not know simply because i want to serve or donate charities. call me unpatriotic, but likewise, i will not align myself with a country that i believe to to be going down the drain. i suppose some would say president bush prides himself on his honor and integrity, but i do not believe it. nor will i defend the illogical actions of him or masons.

Yes. I disapprove of withholding any information from your spouse because it breaks one of my favorite words --> trust.
Yes. Quartley the church I attend posts their income & expenditures in the bulletin & provide a contact for questions. No individual names are included. First time I've ever seen a church do it and think it's really cool!

I guess from this statement that would include Military Service. You seem however more than willing to sit back and let others serve and defend your
right to be here puking your particular brand of pablum.
