Freemasons - are you one?

[JazzyComposition]

So what's it all about?

[SchrodingersMew]

Women can't be Freemasons, they can join the Eastern Star but they wont know much about the Masonry.

[apostropheuse]

No I'm not

[Bleachy]

Heard lots.....

Apparently the lowly people dont know the actual meaning behind the group, the higher up you go the more powerful they are and are involved in all sorts of satanic rituals. Apparently

[NellyJob]

I am but it's a secret

[Bleachy]

yes have heard of the women rule

[WerthersUnOriginal]

Bil is. Brownies for grownups.

[apostropheuse]

shhhhhhhhhh someone might be listening

[ExitPursuedByABear]

I couldn't possibly say.

(agree - women can't be)

[JazzyComposition]

Is it like a knit and bitch group really but they just want to make it sound mysterious?

[PretzelTime]

Why of course, who isn't?

[Softlysoftly]

My grandad was found loads of stuff when he passed, women are banned and tbh I couldn't be doing with secret handshakes and hopping about on one leg or whatever. I actually think it would be like one giant powerful networking business club when you get into it, like your average business conference but with better catering and more cloaks.

[ToothbrushThief]

It's scouts for men

[ToothbrushThief]

nah actually it's Brownies for men

[Yourefired]

No I'm not, but when working for a large corporate, they hired the masons headquarters for a diversity training event. Someone in training must have had a bleak sense of humour. Beautiful stonework.

[Bleachy]

Im sure someone will come on in a minute and tell us what ACTUALLY happens in the secret meetings. And that they dont all sit around in the meetings eating pork pies and discussing golf techniques

[MySpanielHell]

How is it like the Souts? Do they go out in canoes in the cloaks?

[PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot]

Yes like a huge networking thing I imagine it to be. I heard if the judge is one they can do little secret hands and get off, though I realise this probably be bollocks.

[roughtyping]

When my granny died I got her Eastern Star handbook.

[MySpanielHell]

Scouts, even.

[PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot]

What happened in the eastern star? And secret hand gestures?

[MrsTerrysChocolateOrange]

All the secret crap is on the internets for all to see. Yawn.

[Bleachy]

come on someone, its nearly my bed time and im hoping to read some wacky things before i go to sleep

[qo]

WhenI was in the police station last week -earwigging- waiting to see someone, a lady came in to complain about a man continually getting away with driving while banned.

I heard her say that it would be easy for her to find out who keeps letting him off as her father is a freemason

[KitCat26]

Grandpa was one (deceased). No idea what it entails- except a lot of networking and charity work. Can't imagine anything satanic being involved he was a churchwarden... or maybe that was a bluff

[Latara]

One of my colleagues is married to the leader of the Freemasons in my area; i admit that i was slightly worried when she started bitching about me at work...
Then i got annoyed because i read that Freemasons are meant to be Christians; or at least have a belief in a God of some kind... & if she's religious then she shouldn't be bitchy!

I've met a retired Policeman who recieved social care (eg. free meals) from the local Freemasons (he was a Freemason).

I think that anyone in a job such as national or local government; or in the MOD or Public Sector (inc. the Police) should declare membership of certain groups such as the Freemasons.
Freemasons should be more open about their aims & about what they do - if nothing else it would help prevent some of the paranoid conspiracy theories.
