Pike was just a dude in the A&AR. Lucifer isn't a who, it's an adjective. It means light bringer, and Romans used it to describe Venus, which rises just before the sun, heralding the new day. Also a term for Jesus Christ.

bro, have you ever read Morals and Dogma. Lucifer is not and adjective, Lucifer is a He.

from Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike - until about 1972 this was given to all initiates upon the completion of the 3rd.

“Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable, blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!”

Nope.
Read the whole thing in context. Hell, even your quote points out your wrong interpretation. Pike is just saying that it's stupid that people would call the spirit of darkness the bringer of light.
>Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike - until about 1972 this was given to all initiates upon the completion of the 3rd.
No, it was given to members joining the A&AR (32nd degree, which is at least two days after being raised to the 3rd degree) in the Southern Jurisdiction, IF the Valley (lodge) wanted to present it. Not too many did, and just let joining members know they could buy it.

Why do you and the illuminati leave your symbols everywhere?

>>
>>19442740
>Why do you and the illuminati leave your symbols everywhere?
Common symbols aren't solely owned by such groups.
At best, you'll see an S&C on a building cornerstone just to show it was consecrated by a Masonic lodge (very prestigious).
Otherwise, symbols are at the discretion of the architect, and whatever he wants to put on it.
>>
>>19441162
Why arent you declassifying aliens you illuminati faggot?
>>
When did you finally commit to being a faggot?
>>
>>19442752
So the symbols usually either just mean "I'm involved with Masons in some way" or "This symbol is mysterious and edgy so I'll use it."?
That's a lot less exciting than I thought.
Also how can I meet people in your organization?
>>
>>19442781
>So the symbols usually either just mean "I'm involved with Masons in some way" or "This symbol is mysterious and edgy so I'll use it."?
Pretty much. Usually the latter, but not just for the edge factor. Ie. I'd incorporate a lantern or a rosy cross on a library because it's applicable.
>Also how can I meet people in your organization?
Lodges are usually a good spot to do so. Namely Grand Lodges, which have a regular staff (as opposed to only being open once per month).
>>
>>19442789
What does the rosy cross represent and the Templar cross too?

Knowledge. The Cross Patee (Templar Cross) is more to do with fidelity and dependency.
If you're interested, i'd suggest going to your nearest cathedral, and having a look around for each symbol you can find, then look up what some of their meanings can be.

>>19442815
>Only the Rose-Croix Brotherhood has the Mason's Word and Second Sight.
That is Masonry, my Irish friend.
>>
>>19442827
Not Irish, but I do support the Irish Republic.

Disgusting.
>>
>>19442781
Usually our symbols are a way of identifying ourselves to each other. You can meet us by emailing your local lodges - check >>19440171 for more details.

>>19442803
The rosy cross has a lot of layers to it. Depends on who you ask, DESU. I look at it as Christ's love unfolding towards us on the cross, which also represents the Holy Spirit inhabiting the human body. The Passion Cross of the Templars is more simply Christian and less mystical.

In some lodges, perhaps. And it's not just protestant. Lots of Catholics are members. But TO/EC lodges, AMD councils, KM councils, SRICF Colleges and the like are all better than the modern Royal Society. And that's just USA.

There's a lodge of instruction meeting at the end of the month. They're doing 1st degree. I was planning on hitting it up pending work. I'm fine with first degree and pretty good with 2nd (since I had to do parts from it for Mark Man) but I haven't had the chance to see many 3rds so I'm pretty rusty.
>>
>>19443335
Once you've brushed up, see if you can get over the border and check out a Scottish 3rd. Will blow your mind all over again. Same for a French, but those are far rarer.
>>
As far as the argument about "real" scriptures goes, look into scholarly research on the origins of the NT and histories on the development of the modern Catholic and Orthodox empires from their beginnings. Once you do that you can decide for yourself what you accept and what you reject.

Thanks OP and thanks to the real Masons who have responded. I'm planning on going out to my local lodge this week and signing up for my first degree. A decision that has been a long time coming.

In the end, they say they take good men and make them better, and I'm definitely down with self-improvement. Plus I'm also a huge nerd so I'll probably fit right in.

God bless and Allahu Akbar.

I know. There's a lodge not far from my home where they meet every Friday night.(pic related)

People go on like they're devil worshippers or some shit. They're fucking Builders and local Politicians who get together and talk about the community and how to help it. They raise funds for schools/hospitals or strike cheap deals in the community and do work for a knock-down price.
>>
>>19445856
..... if you ever see a school or hospital with a Freemason logo on it it means they helped fund/build it. The school/hospital put the sign up as a mark of gratitude because the Freemasons don't ask for publicity or thanks.

>>19446407
First & second question: literally just ask one of us to join. We're not allowed to recruit. I would hit up Google Maps, and find a couple of lodges close to your home or work. Make sure they're legit by googling "Grand Lodge of [your state/country]" and double-checking to see if they're listed. Email/call them and see how they like to get to know new guys. Spend some time with each lodge to see how you get along with each group. Pick the lodge you like the best, and ask them for a petition. Requirements: be male, believe in God, don't be a cripple, be over 18 (or 21 in some places).

Third question: some Temples have cool libraries. Most of them are either woefully under-booked, or filled with historical stuff (which is also alright) instead of occult stuff. I think the real librarian's treasure is hidden in the shelves of the individual members - it's always fun when a brother tells you "hey, you know, I have a book on that. Here, just let me know when you're done with it and we can talk about the book over a few drinks." That's how I picked up most of my books on the Kabbalah!

>>19446512
>What happens when someone wants to be out?
They stop attending. Simple as that. If you think you want to go back later, you'll have to get a signed demit from your secretary, which just states you left on good terms, and are no longer required to pay the yearly dues (otherwise the lodge keeps paying for you).
>Do people always talk like ''brother this, brother that''
Kinda. Doesn't matter if you're the Duke of Kent, the CEO of an F500 company, or a sanitation driver, we're all equal and brothers.
>do you accept agnostic people too
Depends how agnostic. Faith in God is required, but it doesn't need to be specific.
>(and I heard some lodges are accepting women)?
Only fake ones, unless you count concordant bodies.
>>
>>19446560
>Can you still do one night stands and shit talking on social media etc.
Sure. You're just expected to practice temperance and not be self destructive. You're also supposed to consider if your actions are actually beneficial. Basically, you're okay to do anything legal, but you shouldn't be a dumbarse.
>And in my country, members of the big lodge is so fucking political it just hurts.
Which country? Because they really shouldn't be.
>>
>>19446512
> What happens when someone wants to be out?
The recommended method, as mentioned by my Ausfag brother, is to demit. Keeps the paperwork nice and clean.
> Do people always talk like ''brother this, brother that'', like some kind of a parody?
Not really a parody - we consider it to be the highest title of respect that we can bestow on another man.
> Masonry sounds like a cool thing but this ''believe in god'' rule is a bit problem, do you accept agnostic people too(and I heard some lodges are accepting women)?
No, and no. Ya gotta believe in God, and ya gotta be a dude.

Yea, never understood why it wasn't there. HotT should probably go in with a flatbed and crane before some snowflake + tinfoiler wrecks it.

The outfit depends in the lodge. Some do dinner suits, some white tie, some lounge suits. There's an emergency services lodge I'm aware of which meets in their uniform as they can be called at any time. Only grand lodge officers wear regalia. Are you thinking of knights templar?
>>
>>19447311
Can you be a mason just to benefit from the network as long as you keep up a good attitude and be a good member.Like attend to meetings, donate money to lodge but at the same time do it in a opportunist way and when you think you are big enough just leave the lodge and masonry behind.Will they blacklist you or see you as the enemy if you do this?

That's shitty and we actually have a term for it: "mercenary motives." If brothers catch wind that you are trying to join for that person, they will blackball you, and depending on jurisdiction, you can get expelled for it. I gladly welcome people who want to grow, but people who are in it for mercenary motives can fuck right off.

>>19447381
It's mostly middle-class and blue-collar guys, actually. At least in the US. Not gonna get rid of the God thing anytime soon.

>>19447532
I don't want to sound dismissive, but that's not really the correct question to ask. We still go to church (well, most of us). Masonry is a fraternity - what we're looking for is brotherhood. And yes, I know, there is the brotherhood in church, but this is a different kind. Because we're not divided by religious belief or political beliefs, we can easily hang out to discuss things and meet guys we normally would never have met. The way that I look at it is that church/worship is necessary, Masonry/fraternity is a bonus.
>>
>>19447568
It really seems like a support group where you can chill out for a couple hours and chat with your bros but what are the levels for?Can't you call a mason in a higher level than you brother?Do heads of the bigger lodges meet with president?

Also let's say you're a member of a lodge in New Jersey, can you go to a lodge in another state or another country?Do they accept you as a member or a brother?That would be neat.
>>
>>19447625
You can go almost anywhere in the world and visit a lodge. Everyone's a bro from the dude who just finished his initiation to the grand master in that region.
>>
>>19447532
Study of science and philosophy. Lodges try as hard as possible to not step on any church toes.

>>19447625
>but what are the levels for?Can't you call a mason in a higher level than you brother?
Of course. Every member is just "brother." We have different titles and shit for the various degrees and positions (levels as you call them, are more like classes), but none are above Brother.
>Do heads of the bigger lodges meet with president?
Not in a Masonic capactiy.
>Also let's say you're a member of a lodge in New Jersey, can you go to a lodge in another state or another country?Do they accept you as a member or a brother?That would be neat.
Yup. New Jersey has a Grand Lodge, and they'd give you papers saying that you are who you say you are, and you can go visit a lodge in Russia, or Japan, or Chile with no issues (except language). It's actually quite nice, always have family wherever you go. Every time i've traveled to other areas, bros have gone out of their way to make me feel at home. Be it driving me to/from my hotel to lodge, or showing me around the tourist spots, or whatever.
>>
If I walked up to you and covered your ring, what would you do/say?

>>19447670
I dont have a ring and covering them is not significant in any way so I'd assume you're a faggot and hitting on me.
>>
>>19447673
Haha, good response.

I once walked in to a lodge. Asked to join, got an application, but never paid the fee. My buddy was worshipful master there (or some shit).

He mentioned once covering the ring was a way to check fellow masons to make sure they knew what the fuck they were talking about.

Again it's been years. Army.

>>19447664
Damn you are selling me this.But the criteria for being a mason seems a bit too low.I read it somewhere that you need to have two references to be a member of Turkish masonic organisation(http://www.mason.org.tr/web/en_index.html).
>>
>>19447670
"Why the hell are you touching me?"

>>19447683
Yea, it's not meant to be hard, but just enough to keep the trash out.
So, freeborn, of good report, and mature age, with a belief in God.
Translates to 18/21+, not a slave/indentured, no criminal record, and can support yourself. You also need two members to vouch for your character (that you're not an alcoholic, wife-beater, slow driver, etc.). You might also need outside references, but i'm not sure how Turkey does it, so ask that website.
>>
>>19447625
The levels are to signify that you have learned certain lessons as taught in the form of "degrees" (rituals). All masons are "brothers" after getting initiated, regardless of rank. Heads of larger lodges usually don't meet with the President - we actually try to stay out of politics as an organization. Individual masons are free to get into politics, but it's forbidden for us to do so as an organization.

Usually you can visit lodges in other places and countries. Visiting outside of your state or country ("Jurisdiction") sometimes requires extra paperwork, but it's pretty common, and people are often members in more than one Masonic Jurisdiction.

>>19447670
I would tell you to kindly fuck off. I would also assume that you are either a) trying to rob me, b) a conspiracy theorist, or c) a clandestine mason playing stupid games.

>>19447681
Ah, Army. That explains the stupid games - usually military lodges are Prince Hall Affiliated and while PHA lodges are a-okay, many military PHA lodges get real stupid real fast (hazing, etc).

Sometimes the criteria does seem a bit low, yes.

Are you allowed to drink beer ot smoke cigarette in the lodge?

>>19447872
No food or drink is allowed in the lodge. We have dinner after the lodge is closed and most bros get quite a few glasses of wine into them.

In ausfailia it's illegal to smoke in pretty much any public building. I know every room in our lodge is fitted with smoke detectors in any event so you'd set one off anyway.
>>
>>19447852
>Dunno if i can be arsed doing grand lodge shit at any point.
You have no idea how crazy it gets. Like, it's nice to be able to contribute, and you don't have to worry about the pissing patch unless you're on a board, but the practices and shit are mental.
Even if you've been in the military, you won't be up to snuff for marching, and God help you if you're a Grand Deacon, because you need better rod work than an award winning gay porn star.

>>19447872
Not in a meeting, but at the festive board (banquet) before/after it's fine, and expected that you'll have a glass of wine when you're toasting Her Majesty. Smoking is forbidden in public buildings, here, though.

This robe looks cool, do you guys still use these type of robes?What is your favorite outfit from the mason catalogue?
>>
>>19447890
Again, there are no robes. You wear a suit of some description and your apron. I can't speak for lodges outside NSW but officers in lodge wear a collar kind of thing with a different medal/jewel depending on the office in question.

The collar is pretty similar to pic related but not nearly as nice.
>>
>>19447890
>robe
You mean the sash? Yea, that's just a 33rd sash. So if you're a 33rd (i think that's non Supreme Council member), you'd wear that during your time as 33rd (not sure how SC for Turkey works). It's a side degree, and you start off with a collar for the 18th, then a sash at 30th, and back to collar for 31st and 32nd.
If you're in the Holy Royal Arch, or the Soc. Ros., robes are worn (depending on where you are, and the availability).

Favourite is a toughie. Might have to go with the Ecossais Rectifee regalia, which is green and red, and you have a cloak embroidered with your arms (heraldry).
Otherwise the Mark degree is pretty aesthetic. Same with the Red Cross of Constantine.
>>
Does Masonry serve to Zionism or Israel in any way?
>>
>>19447932
No, in general. But the Grand Lodge of Israel might. Though they have a Palestinian GM at the moment (and frequently have done so).
>>
What do you talk at the weekly meetings?How many topics can you even find?
>>
>>19447938
They're monthly/bimonthly here. We don't "talk" about anything generally. At my lodge we've been doing lots of degree work recently (initiations and raisings). Unless there's some pressing business it's basically a race to open and close the lodge so we can start drinking. Often lodges will hold a meeting for something specific and have an open invitation for anyone in the district.
>>

Well that sounds like a drag.

Which organization replaced the freemasons at politics?100 years ago a lot of the politicans & writers and thinkers were masons but it changed.Do you think it's because masonry couldn't adapted to the new age?
>>
Do you guys have like gray masons who is not a member of any lodge but still is a mason or an atheist mason?
>>
>>19447955
That's a good (big) question. There are still a lot of those people who are members, but when you look at the downturn, it seems to match the post-war period, where lots of military guys who just liked brotherhood joined. Then the post WW2 period, where baby boomers who didn't like anything "unusual" joined. So all those guys kinda pushed out the more devoted students of esotercism and greater thinking.
>>
>>19447952
Our lodge record from tyling to closing is 15 minutes. You can get lots of shortcuts like instead of doing the full treasurer report the treasurer just says "the lodge is solvent" and sits.
>>
>>19447971
Again, you cannot be an atheist and a mason.
>>
>>19447971
Well, once a Mason always a Mason. You can't undo initiation. But anyone who becomes atheist would no longer be a member.

>>19447978
Dude, watch the latest Masonic Roundtable episode, they talk about just that.
I agree, we should rush through the admin stuff, but why bother having a lodge meeting if you're just racing to get out of there?

>>19447982
That's one of the things I really like about RAC (from the little I've seen of it). None of this opening in different degrees bullshit. It's just straight into the work.

>>19447995
Oh, you don't have the mega-chapter in NSW? We have Mark, EMM, HRA (obviously), RAM, RSM, and RCB in our Royal Arch Chapters. So you have to open in the HRA before opening any of those other ones. But you can at least do the short close before going into them, which, when you're Jeshua or Zerubbabel, is appreciated (Haggai best job overall).
>>

Not gonna lie, sometimes i wish that too. Like that some of the crazy accusations were true. But at least we have Druidical side degrees for pagan stuff, even if it doesn't really involve paganism.

>>19448018

>>
>>19448018
>>19448022
Well that's interesting. Up here we have the authority confer Mark and RAM, but we don't have a Grand Mark anything. Just Ark Mariner stuff. We do still have a Grand Mark Lodge, which is why i suspect it's the case (and they do the Mark better, but i couldn't be arsed joining a Mark Lodge just for that, unless i really wanted to start adding Grand Mark wank to my repertoire).

>>19448019
Seems more like OTO, honestly. But maybe Kubrick tried to put Masonic symbols in? Hard to tell, when there's overlap.
>>
>>19448030
From talking to him when I did MM it seems no one had been doing Mark stuff of any description for a while so, as 1st GP, he got authority to roll it into his authority.

They've specifically trained the "team" to do Mark work around different masonic centres so everyone has a clear direction to move in after 3rd degree.
>>
>>19448041
Yea, that's similar to how it happened here. But I think the Grand Team is hurting for members, so they avoid anything which isn't Installation of Principals and Officers.
Nice that they're pushing it there, though. Honestly figured we could use more of an HRA presence, and have emailed the Grand SE over it, only to be told to have fun doing it myself.
>>
>>19448051
I think before he started this process it was basically you do 3rd, wait a bit, then go straight to MMM.

I think it's cool getting the extra bits from the 2nd though, personally.
>>
>>19448063
Well that is the proper Scottish method. Honestly i'd put the Mark back into the Craft lodge.
>>
>>19448073
I agree but maybe split it like initiation and first tracing board. It'd take way too long doing it in one hit.
>>
>>19448089
Totally. I'm happy with the 2nd as is, no matter how underrated and underutilised as it tends to be. But having it as an emphasis on the meritocratic aspect of the work (and Christian aspect) would really benefit the Craft.

do you believe in the godhead ...if so is he your ...pasane as it were ..
>>
>>19450477
It doesnt particularly aside from a few new mates. One of my bros said to hit him up for the work placement i have to do at the end of my degree though.

>>19450485
Some may do. You have to believe in a superiot being
>>
>>19450533
when you climb the stairway higher in the ranking, does this mean that you have access to more knowledge? And how does this knowledge help you to become a better person?
>>
>>19450553
Well yeah. As you progress you further your knowledge of the craft. I guess a bit. Like you're provided with further examples upon which to model yourself. I wouldnt say its direct causation though. Being a better person mostly comes from your association with good guys.

Gotta be the Knight Templar uniform. It looks silly to some, but I love it.

>>19447932
Not really. The story we tell involves Israel in that it takes place in King Solomon's temple, but that's it.

>>19447938
We do a lot of esoteric talks. We like to invite speakers to come to my lodge - that's a lot of fun.

>>19447952
Make it fun!

>>19447955
I honestly don't think that any one organization has replaced us.

>>19447971
No atheist masons. There is such thing as a mason without a lodge, but most jurisdictions have time limits on how long you can legally do that.

Best way I've ever heard it is from V.:I.: Jason Mitchell: If you can’t get trusted with coffee, you can’t be trusted with anything else, most especially with initiating the next generation of men into the Craft. If you you’re “too good” to do the coffee run, that tells the Lodge everything they need to know about you. Show some initiative and confidence by leveling up the Lodge’s coffee game. Sure, unbranded stuff from the store is sufficient, but use some of your own money, and give the Lodge a treat and indulge them with something amazing they will enjoy (especially if you hate it). Actually serve the coffee. Learn how everyone takes their coffee. Master it. Remember that when you get to the East and show up at a Brothers house/office (with coffee) in need a favor or advice. Corollary: If you’re a WM of a Lodge that can’t implement a full complement of officers, make the newest Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts perform this job. It makes their becoming a Master Mason all the more poignant when they’ve been relieved of this role.

>>19448547
We've got the Bible for that.

>>19450328
Depends on whether you're using American ritual or French ritual. Usually, no.

>>19450477
Yep! I feel like I always have something fun to do, and I'm engaging in more creative stuff now.

>>19450485
Depends on the brother.

>>19450553
Sort of. There are more lessons to learn with each degree. Each lesson is a tool to help you better yourself.

>>19450877
We don't have the answer to that.

>He was slain a few weeks ago
Quick rundown
>>
What is the main motive or mission of a freemason? What are your aspirations and why are you one?
>>
>>19443880
I think anon is insinuating freemasons rape kids for breakfast, but when in reality they're just having a fun disco party.
>>
>>19451518
My answer is a little dramatic:

The world is an awful place, and there’s not much that we can do about that on the macro scale. What we can do, however, is give men the opportunity to change and improve themselves using moral tools and teachings in order to better implement the moral values they already had. By doing this, a man not only changes himself, but the world immediately around him - and sometimes reaching even further than that. So, we can’t change the world on a macro scale, but we can change it many, many times on a micro scale. Masonry is an organized effort to save the world, one man at a time.

For my lodge being happy and coferring happiness. In my case mostly curiosity and the members of my mother lodge seemed like cool guys when i met them.

It was pretty cool actually, I was part of the media team for a sailing event and the (at the time) master of the lodge and patron of the lodge were taking competitors out on a cruise on the patron's yacht. The lodge also donated significant funding for the event.

I get that you are trying to show integrity but at the end of the day ya'll are fickle bitches. do you know how many "men" can fake all this crap all to feel important with "secrets"
>>
>>19450328
Yes, but not as common as it should be.

>>19451441
>Make it fun!
Working on it.
>Best way I've ever heard it is from V.:I.: Jason Mitchell: If you can’t get trusted with coffee, you can’t be trusted with anything else
Now that's a good one.
>>
>>19451738
>do you know how many "men" can fake all this crap all to feel important with "secrets"
That's their problem. The secrets mean nothing, and we can't vet people for "wrong-think", so all we can do is give them the opportunity to find knowledge and betterment.

>>19441162
Is there any point to becoming a Freemason?

To be more specific: other than "fellowship", is there anything that I personally should expect to gain from the experience?
>>
>>19451752
Education and a scholarly environment.
>>
Would Freemasons accept paranormalfags and alchemyfags instead of believing in an established monotheistic religion? Is monotheism the only requirement?
>>
>>19451890
>Would Freemasons accept paranormalfags and alchemyfags
Of course. Many of us are alchemists.
>instead of believing in an established monotheistic religion?
Instead of? Those aren't religions...
>Is monotheism the only requirement?
No, you can be polytheist. Just as long as you have faith in a supreme creator being.
The specifics are up to you.
>>
>>19441162
> pays to let his brain get fried by deamons
>>
>>19451919
Wouldn't your lodge buddies laugh at you if you said Nature was your supreme being? lol
>>
>>19451927
Naw, but they may not feel it meets the requirement. Personally, i'd have no problem initiating someone who said that, and most guys around here would be the same way.
As long as you were being honest about it, that is.
>>
>>19451927
It doesnt come up outside of your interview. Before you're invited to join the lodge.

Discussion of politic or religion inside the lodge isnt allowed. Discussion of politics is pretty common over dinner though
>>
>>19441771
What are you talking about? Genuinely curious, anon.
>>
>>19441162
I have a doubt that bothered me for 2 years now. I was with a friend once after we came from a bar and he told me he was Freemason and that I could join the thing and yada yada. Anyway, after 20 minutes of being talking drink nonsense a normal car parked in front of where we were and asked my friend to get out while the other kept me talking. After a while he just told me that he had to go and he and the others drove away in their respective. Is that a thing? Or they were just like his drug dealers or any other? He never went back to work on monday
>>
>>19452163
That's a drug deal m8
>>
>>19451542
Whatever God you pray to. In my lodge we have Christians, Jews, Deists, etc. I even know a guy who practices a Native American - Catholic hybrid religion. You just have to belief in some form of God.

>>19451738
Secrets are overrated. The value in Masonry is in practicing Masonry, not in having "the secrets."

>>19451746
I disagree with Brother Jason on a few things, but overall, he's a dang genius.

>>19451752
See >>19451537. Additionally, it's real fun.

>>19451890
You're gonna have to elaborate.

>>19451927

>>19452717

Really though? You actually prefer the economic and political principles of national socialism, rather than just wanking over Hitler?
>>
>>19452738
Not to mention all the fucking degeneracy of neo-nazis
>lol let's get tattoos I don't even understand that mean Nazi stuff or whatever
>lol Hitler wanted to kill all nonwhites xd I'm so edgy
The KKK also openly hated the Nazis
Can't wait for the next day of the king knives
They're just a (((tool))) to increase racial tensions

We didn't make the KKK, kthxbai.

you need mental help. Either that, or KYS.

Ritual is just the term for the shit you need to memorise for the functions of the lodge. Opening, closing, degree work for bros, etc. No magic aside from the magic of networking.
>>
>>19453037
No, we make fun of flat-earthers. Based on our ritual, you would actually be hard-pressed to believe in flat-earth theory.

>>19453075
We don't farm kids, if that's what you're implying.

>>19453155
Nope.

Breaking the obligation - this can cover number of things.

>>19454526
I don't know, how do you define magic? If you mean Harry Potter-style stuff, nah. If you're going more for the psychological interpretation of magic, maybe? IDK.

I was told by them ALL masons are doing that shit.

Is it true? If so, I would very much like to join.

Shaq has definitely been known to make fun of people. Like that time he made fun of that deformed kid. He is also someone who likes getting tons of attention. You can see that from all the commercials he is in from the general car insurance to gold Bond.
