the only extra "pull" masons have around here is on the loop end of a rope...... hemp cures deviants.... HHB
True they are supposed to help each other out if someone needs it, but this is not always the case. I have heard from two people I trust who left the masons because they fell on hard times and were given no support.That's an interesting take, but it is as off base with reality as some of the other fantastic takes that have been aired.
See, it is no ponzi scheme at all. And there is nothing that the head honcho of a lodge, any lodge, has or attains that the newest Master Mason doesn't also have or attain. Both the newest member and the oldest leader are equally provided with illumination.
The goal is to use the illumination to better ones self, to provide the best they can for their family, to provide relief to those who are met with misfortune and loss, all while maintaining a personal reverence for God...in whatever form you believe that supreme being to be.
And trust me...any Mason will come to the aid of another Mason if he is asked, without hesitation. And if any of you conspiracy theorists want to make something, make something out of that. The other stuff you dream up is simply entertainment for the enlightened.
Its just a club like Thom said. Its a fraternity
Anybody leaving a MYSTICAL order has lost touch with their cosmic being. And to some degree may have hit on something reserved for a future life time.First off, the "I heard this from they, them, and those" are not the best things to use, or tout, as good references. This thread is full of them, all about as much worth as the next.
There is almost always someone making up bullshit along the way.
Secondly, how does one support another that has hit had times?
Exactly what was it you think, or they claim, they didn't receive that would make them claim to have "left the masons" as you put it?

Only when a man has nothing of physical, earthly value, can he truly find worth in the spiritual.
destroy and rebuild.
capiche?
The fact remains that I did not understand. -Specifically the destroy part.
