I am sure that all those jump and shout Kool Aid drinkers will also want to bash the Masons.

These Taliban wannabes who like the liberal left wing Dimorats, thrive on hatred of other groups they don't understand or deem as pulling money away from their white shooed, holy rolling, mush talking charlatan leaders.

At least while these people are bashing the Masons or Mormons they will have even less time to bash the Catholics or other groups as Satan's handy man.

Past Master here...

[bmwcyle]

Tell us all the truths (secrets).

[wolfcreek]

My Grandfather and his father were both FM. My question is, why I was never introduced to this society as a youth? Yes, I was interested.

[caver]

My whole family are Masons.

[Chode]

i read the Grail Bloodline... same topic i think

[MillerCreek]

Yes, agree completely.

The Extermination Order, which called for the extermination of all Mormons in Missouri, issued by Governor Boggs, who was the Governor of Missouri, and who was killed in this massacre, was repealed only about 10 years ago.

I don't think Boggs was in the Fancher party--he died in San Francisco many years later. I would have preferred he got his "justice" via bullets, but he did not.

Right. My God, it says on the cover it's a NOVEL.

Not only that, it's sold as a fictional NOVEL.

I think we are on to something!

[dangus]

Go figure... the man savagely rapes the Catholic Church, and turns out to be Masonic.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Ping for a later read.

>> "I am a Mormon and my mom used Mason jars to can the produce from our garden."

There you have it, then. My mom used them, too. She wasn't a Mormon, but it's clear she was subverted by them. <<

When she starts making lime Jello in then, you know you are in trouble.

[redgolum]

Interesting. Mormonism and masonry have many parallels, but it is not polite to point that out.

[TFFKAMM]

Fraternal greetings, PM. I got as far as Junior Deacon myself before I moved away from my mother lodge. Might get involved again once I find a permanent place to live.

LOL! Funny, but true.

[TFFKAMM]

Perhaps they tried to introduce your dad, and he wasn't interested, cutting off the generational legacy.

Since we don't recruit (that's what the "2B1 ASK1" slogan means) the best way to learn more is to visit your local Masonic lodge. The brothers will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Suppose I write a novel that you killed Nicole Simpson. I subtitle the book, "A fictional novel about one of the world's sickest minds." The hero begins to suspect you being a murderer because you rape little children, enjoy pineapples shoved up your ass, and secretly conspired to elect Hillary Clinton senator of New York. The story is filled with bizarre, manufactured, and twisted pieces of evidence as to your revolting perversions, and ignores all of the evidence that you couldn't possibly do such heinious things.

I clearly note that the story is a faction, but I also write on the inside cover that all the background information is true. Meanwhile, I create a myriad of websites recreating and illustrating the false evidence against you. I refuse to state whether any of the evidence is false, simply stating that I think it's good people have a "vigorous debate" about whether it is possible you are such a monster.

Are you seriously going to tell me you wouldn't feel defamed?

I have an uncle that drinks his beer out of a Mason jar, and spins some great (totally fictitious) fish stories.

We ought to get him a publishing contract.

[MineralMan]

"I have an uncle that drinks his beer out of a Mason jar, and spins some great (totally fictitious) fish stories."

You, too. I guess maybe we all have an uncle like that, eh?

[Lochlainnach]

Wow. I hope Dan Brown waits until Christmas to put out his book so everyone can fight over another amazing yarn about fictional conspiracies. I'm happy that he's deciding to write about organizations that are actually real this time, instead of taking psuedo-existing cabals and telling us they are "real". Can we stop giving hacks massive publicity?

Boy, I may be getting nostalgic here, but remember when novels were about more than far reaching governmental/chauvinistic-religious/mythological conspiracies. But, I guess easy to read novels filled with stock characters and eight-line chapters are what sells right now. Yeah consumerism.
