Can we take over the Masons' job when they die? |

Don't know where the goat fits in. I've heard the old-timers reference "ride the goat", never seen it myself. Wish I could read the copy. Looks funny!
Hey SS, you started this thread, as a kind of joke, but if you were to be accepted at a lodge thats slowly going away, well, what you speak of, could be done. It wouldn't be a bad thing.

Can anyone tell me if there is any truth at all to the stories about Masons, and the new world order, and the illuminati?
After all, some of the founding fathers of this country were freemasons, and put their symbols on our money...
However, the stories seem too far-fetched to be true....supposedly, they sign all letters with the date and then "anno lucis"...a reference to Lucifer, bringer of light?
Is any of that true? Or just a hoax?

Totally a hoax. An Anti-Mason Party formed after they offed a defector who was printing an expose and burned the printing house. Bad press and anti-mason sentiment ever since.

Hey, foamy --
Your post gives me pause. Dare I dare ... ?
In reviewing my first post, I see I got something wrong. "control the British pound" should be "control the British Crown."
I thought I was quoting the lyrics from The Simpsons' episode known as "The Stone Cutters." I have found the correct lyrics, and they are:
The Stone Cutters' Song
The Simpsons
Who controls the British Crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do, we do.
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do, we do.
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do, we do.
Who robs cave fish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do, we do!

I find it interesting that the Camicie Nere also wore fezzes as part of their regalia. They have also been accused of fomenting some of the same programs as the Masons. A coincidence? Perhaps only the History Channel can tell us...

Bless you, tikicleen, and your Scottish Rite buddies! They have helped my kid talk! Thanks, in part, to their grants, my autistic son has made great progress thru speech therapy since he started 4 years ago as a totally silent 3-year old. We've got a way to go, but we're progressing.

More goat notes --
Here is a website that features an old Masonic supply catalogue -- there are SEVERAL goats for sale, depending on your lodge's budget.
I got this site from an old and forgotten TC post about Masons.

"Your post gives me pause. Dare I dare ... ? "
Why not? It's one of the last and certainly the greatest of the once very popular fraternal organizations. Masonic philanthropy is unmatched and very much under the radar. Shriner's have real fez's and the whole thing fits the tiki lifestyle perfectly.
The Stone Cutters song, while tongue-in-cheek, is not too far off... that, and Masons take care of their own.
JTD, that's very gratifing to hear. May his progress continue.

Some TCers thought my insistence on spanking was provocative. As you will see from this page in a Masonic supply catalogue, it was not provacative but purely journalistic:

i had to dredge this one up again, 'cause i am renting a masonic lodge for the big Mondo Lounge party this fall... so we will be infusing a little tiki into the Masons for the night...
I also found out that they are not allowed to advertise or promote whatsoever - you have to ask a mason and express interest in becoming one to become one - they will never ask you.
so if there are any centralites who were on the fence about joining the fezters - just ask!
