It's funny you should mention yesterday, my friend. I felt a great deal of significance associated with that day. It not only coincides with the beginning of one of the 9.75 day fasting intervals in the calendar, but it is also a day of "events" that seem to herald change in public perception.Bay of Pigs Ruby Ridge Waco Oklahoma City Columbine Note the trend? I'm not sure what the significance of it all is. Still waiting for your email, man. Love, daf P.S. By the way, did you happen to notice that it's the 111th day of the year this year? IP: Logged |

My husband is a mason, and after 3 years of trying to get the "Mason's Secrets" out of him. There really isn't anything wierd about the organization. Aside from what everything that was posted, it's about improving yourself, they do an incredible amount of charity work. It's general knowledge in the community to respect a Mason, because if someone in the community needs help, they often will "Mysteriously" get it. Also, retirement homes have been set up only for the Masons, spouse ect. They are free of charge! Makes us all want to be a freemason doesn't it. I asked my husband why the organization would provide free retirement homes and medical and he said (and I'm not being funny here)"Many of the elderly people may talk alot or get various diseas that may affect their thinking". Not just because of that but also because they believe "Brothers" should help them out because they have already given to the community. The Masons raise the money buy donations from other Masons, and yearly fes they collect from active Masons. I believe it is the same with Northern Star as well. I don't believe it's really about religion, it's about going through a lengthy process of different lessons to improve on yourself so you can give the best you to the other "Brothers" and to the community. That's the jist. IP: Logged |

Another thing I remembered was "Brothers, or "sisters" from the organization DO go around and ask your neighbors what your charactor is like. It's important to them you are a sincere and honest person. Not meant to be an interragation!. Also "The power by secrecy" is about the whole anaymous helping thing. They gain the respect of the community (business's too) by being descrete about donations. IP: Logged |
