Using a personal cloaking device, I was able to get into a local mason meeting place, and observe a a mason get together. It was quite interesting. Here is one of the pics I got of it.

Heh...I worked for a local community action group for a while & our first office in the area was a rented-out space in the local Masonic Temple....& every Thrusday night, we'd watch as all these old men in suits & the young gorgeous nubile little HS girls in long flowing sheer white dresses would go into "THE SACRED ROOM"--making sure that none of us in the office could ever see in & doing lord know WHAT in there. And then they'd slam closed this big-ass 6-inch-thick oak door t'deflower these hot little numbers or whatever they did...phoof!

My fiancee' was one of those nubile young HS girls in flowing white dresses (More like sheets that they can wear nothing under, with a rope acting as a bra) She wants me to become a Mason, but, well I dunno.

Maybe she knows something you don't. But I don't think I'd ever become one. I don't like the idea of secret societies and such.

I'll take this one.
I'm a member of a lodge in Pennsylvania.

There's nothing secret about the Masons except the details of their rituals of advancement, which consist mostly of relating bits of ancient Biblical-era history, and the history of Masonry.

Everything else is bunk.

I have no idea what nubile young women you're talking about, since women can't be made Masons, although there are organizations for the wives and daughters of masons, such as the Eastern Star, and, I believe, "Job's Daughters."

The members of my lodge are mostly old men, ranging from late 40's to late 80's, with a few young kids like me thrown in (you have to be 21 to get in, another condition.) Of all our 200 members on the rolls, (some 20 of which are all that's active) I can pretty much guarantee that with the possible exception of my father, I am by FAR the most dangerous.

Masons have included most of the founding fathers, including Washington and Jefferson, and many other presidents, as well as Neil Armstrong, Clark Gable, John Philip Sousa, and many many others of known good character.

I have yet to decide whether to be offended by the little painting above. Probably I won't. I DO have a sense of humor, you know.

Although I'm curious to see this rope-as-bra thing. Preferably on the streets. Instead of a bikini top. Mmmmm.

From what I remember of Sunday School, being Job's daughter, or son for that matter, is not an enviable lot in life.

Andrew, good Simpsons gag.


As for the Job's Daughters thing, it refers to his second set (after the trial) where the daughters of Job were amongst the fairest in the land, etc.

Which is a small consolation, if you were a member of the first set, who stayed dead.

Job and Lot... Hm... Makes you wonder how many of the people who believe in religions that have those stories in their scriptures have actually read them, eh?
