Message:: On 18 Nov at 7PM we are having a Tri-Lodge "Uniform Night". This event has been successful in the past in bringing out regular and rusty nail brothers for an evening of friendship and great stories. All are invited and those who have worn a uniform of any kind during their life are asked to wear it or bring it on a hanger. You can imagine the tall tales that start. In an effort to make this event bigger and more interesting we are trying to find a "Name Brand" type speaker to attend this event. If this could be possible we will invite the whole state of Idaho and Northern Utah to this great night, perhaps even open it to the public and move the location to the local university. At this point in the planning process we know that time is short for this year, but you never know who may want to make a trip to beautiful Idaho. We can pay some or all expences and we are open to any suggestion anyone may have on this event. If you want to put one on let me know and I can tell you what we have done to make this a "FUN" night. Those of you who may know of a speaker who has worn a Uniform of any kind who might be interested or even a celebrity who has a patriotic flare, please let me know.

HE ADRESSES AN ISSUE THAT ALSO CONSERNS ME I.E. THAT FREEMASONRY TODAY IS PERCIEVED LARGELY AS A NETWORK OF NUDGE-NUDGE, WINK-WINK "GOOD OLD BOYS" WHOSE MAIN CONCERN IS HELPING EACH OTHER OUT IN THE BUISNESS AND POLITICAL REALMS(MY WORDS, NOT HIS). SOME OF THE BOOKS I HAVE READ OVER THE PAST YEARS INCLUDE "THE BUILDERS" BY JOSEPH FORT NEWTON, "THE MEANING OF MASONRY" BY W. L. WILMSHURST, "THE SPIRIT OF MASONRY" BY W. HUTCHINSON AND "BROTHER OF THE THIRD DEGREE" BY W. GARVER. I'VE ALSO READ(AND OWN) AS REFERRENCE, NOT COVER TO COVER, "MORALS AND DOGMA" BY ALBERT PIKE, "A NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FREEMASONRY" BY A. E. WAITE AND "THE SECRET TEACHINGS OF ALL AGES" BY MANLY P. HALL. I! 'M NOT SAYING THIS TO SOUND LIKE SOME "KNOW IT ALL" BUT TO SAY THAT WHAT I HAVE COME ACROSS IN THESE WRITINGS IS VERY SPIRITUAL AND HAS SPOKEN TO MY HEART AND GIVEN ME A SENSE OF THE UNITY OF REALITY. I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS BUT PERHAPS I CAN WRITE AGAIN LATTER. PLEASE FORGIVE ANY ERRORS OR IMPROPRIATIES IN MY WRITTING, I MEAN NO DISRESPECT. YOURS, -PAUL M.-

Message:: Hello, I have recently been raised to the third degree and am a current initiate for the Scottish Rite. I am 25 years old and have noticed that the average age of the brothers in my lodge and else- where is around 55 or older. Not many people my age are interested or even know about Masonry. I wonder if Freemasonry will soon die out from recruit- ment declining and our older brothers passing away. I feel that the benefits of Masonry are noble and wonderful. I don't want to see the fraternity end.

[Web-master's note:: Yes, by all means, check out this site for Jack Chick comix. There has, in my humble opinion, never been a better, more passionately goofy example of bone-headed, ignorant, prejudiced anti-Masonic horse-pootie. Of course, besides condemning Masons, Mr. Chick and Co. are not too thrilled with Catholics, agnostics, Hindus, Moslems, Jews, Wiccans, evolutionists, and pretty much everybody else. If you can enjoy over-the-top sensationalistic fear-mongering, this site is a laugh riot. On a more serious note, Freemasonry's "ecumenicalism", welcoming good men of every religious opinion, has always made it a target. I am proud to be judged by the kind of attackers we attract.]

Message:: Hey There! For nearly three years now, I've been researching my family history. I was suprised to find that certain members of my family were masons here in Ireland, definatly during the 18th and early 19th centuries, and very likely during the 1600's. Now what I want to learn about is the following. (1). How and when did Freemasonry first come to Ireland? (2). I always thought catholics could'nt become Masons, yet these guys were all catholics, Jacobites and Masons? How so because? (3). Can ANYONE please tell how the heck Freemasonry tied in with Irish nationalism during the 17th and 18th centuary; this is the period I am most particulary interested in. And a personal question; why can't the ladies join? I'd be over the moon if I could get some REALLY detailed, informative replys. I plan to publish the family history in a few years, and this is one area that has eluded me for ages (I'm not a Mason) and I'd really like to clear it up and fit it in with all the other stuff my family got up to. Letters can be posted to: Adrian James Martyn, P.O. Box 170, Galway City, Republic of Ireland. Much obliged.

Message:: This is hard for me to come up with the right words for this. I am not saying what I am about to say in order to be difficult but instead of my love in general of mankind. The freemasons organization is not as good as it says it is. Not that people in it our not good most of them are for the simple reason that 99% of them don't know the big secrets that the masons hold. But there are secrets and they are nasty. Most members of masonary do not know of the ties it has to the occult and paganism. Most people considering becoming a mason don't know the initiations and the death oaths. And I'm sure that most masons don't know that Albert Pike one of there own grand masters and author of one or more of their secret documents admits that lucifer is also one of their messiah's. I'm not getting this from anti-masons but instead from their own "secret" documents. If you have any questions please write me at [removed] And if you are a Christian please pray for me because I will probably be threatened because of this.
[Web-master's note: "secret documents" huh? If you would like your own copy of those "secret" documents, just get hold of Pike's Morals and Dogma -- they are for sale to anyone. I have a paperbound facsimile edition (ISBN 1-56459-275-8) from Kessinger Publishing Co. of Montana. But please do what Mr. [Removed] didn't -- read the preface, which explains that the book is a compilation, that "half its contents" are from the work of others, including various ancient philosophers, and that "every one is entirely free to reject and dissent from whatsoever herein may seem to him to be untrue or unsound". Others have carefully explained that Pike must be understood in context, and that quoting him out of context is misleading at best, and often done for malicious purpose. And no, Mr. [Removed], no one with any sense will threaten you. You'll have to look for your sense of self-importance somewhere else.]
[Web-master's note: The identifying information in this message has been removed at the submitter's request: "In 1998 I wrote an uneducated self-righteous comment on your page. This was eight years ago when I was holier-than-thou and seeing conspiracies behind every corner. Thou I don't think Freemasonry is for me I no longer think it's some kind of evil, trying to take over the world, secret society.... I wish I could say I was a kid when I wrote it. I was 18 and involved in a really weird church that felt it was their duty to point out everyones faults even if they had to make stuff up, I got caught up in it. I know it was eight years ago, but I'm sorry I made an ass of myself."]

Message:: in the early 1960 apx 1962 in the month of july apx18-19 there was a masonic event in vallejo california at washington playground this event invited guests speakers from all over the country and they gave talks on there expert fields and we were to come up with ideas on how to improve what they do we were in compitition with anothergroup and there was prize money to be awarded a few of us kids were taged as incouragable as we had and were fighters and we had a code of conduct contract with the masonery as too how we woulod conduct ourselves that weekend the final clause on this agreement is that I billy b stover who negotiated this agreement with the masonery would have too stay out of trouble till my 21 st birthday to be able to claim this money there is a very big insurance policy with this event to guarantee these monies and the conduct agreement has the great masonic seal on it a judge from one of the appillett courts asked to study this document and promis! ed to return the document within 6-8 weeks or months this document was never returned it is and was one of the biggest masonic events of this type and the only event of this type that I know of and I believe representatives of the masonery world wide were involved this event was filmed by the maskonery and agents of the united states government became involved as this event became very very paranormal and more paranormal occurances happened at this one event than any other before or since I have no reason to lie about it as I was only 7 but with the degree of quardinated effort by the masoney to help get these guest speakers and the planning involved it is quite disturbing to me that it sems to have been totally forgotten so easily as it has and currently appears to me to be quite disturbing and impossible to have been totally forgotten about as I m now 44 years old I find myseof wondering about the money and the expertise to the jaranormal things that occured that day that!
