Does anyone lead a masonic lifestyle? Options

PS - does anyone know the Zappa tune where he says something about "going down to play the demolay?"

The one that is most often reserected is the Ancient Primative Rite of Memphis. It's primarily a Gnostic in nature and is at the basis of every crazy ass thing since the turn of the century:

Some guys from the Ancient Primitive Rite of Memphis started their own version the Golden Dawn

A wacko named Aelister Crowley joined the Golden Dawn, added some tantric sex rituals and called it the Ordo Templi Orientis ( OTO )

The OTO came to the USA and attracted folks like Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard, who based his Scientology on the original concepts on the OTO.

That's of course VERY abbreviated.

Crowley os GWB's secret Grand Father.

I'm not making that up.

I'm losing status at the high school
I used to think that it was my school
WAH WAH WAH WAH

I was the king of every school activity
But that's no more...
Oh mama, what will come of me?

The other night we painted posters
We played some records by the coasters
WAH WAH WAH WAH
A bunch of pom-pom girls
Looked down their nose at me
They had painted tons of posters, I had painted three
I hear the secret whispers Everywhere I go
My school spirit is at an All time low

I'm losing status at the high school
I used to think that it was my school
WAH WAH WAH WAH

Everyone in town knows I'm a handsome football star
I sing and dance and spray my hair And drive a Shiny car
I'm friendly and I'm charming I belong to *De Molay*
I'm gonna try like mad to Get my status back today
Status back, Baby, Status back, Baby
Status back, Baby, Status back, Baby

really? what LP is that on??

THANKS!!!! I had thought it was Joe's Garage (I, II or III) but it wasn't and I was SURE that I had heard that line a few times back in the day.....

"Pastors and Deacons are so proud of their damnable lodges, bringing evil spirits into our churches."

[Look Sharp!]

I'm just asking where you heard that. Chaces are you have never even been in a lodge or attended a masonic function. Your knowledge of it comes across as someone who has read anti-masonic conspiracy sites and thier tales of what goes on.

...the masonic fraternity is as exempt from homosexuality as the catholic priesthood, the boy scouts, and the military...

[Mike C]

Being a Mason seems to be to much pay to play for my taste.

Wondering what Masons make of people like this guy who claims to have been a high level 90th degree Mason?

He got into the lodge and then some.

[Look Sharp!]

is that jota?

It figures that you would buy into the biggest conspiracy nut out there.

[Look Sharp!]

...my father is a carpenter and he and his irish-catholic friends/co-workers use the term "brickie" when referring to actual stone-workers to avoid even uttering the word "mason"...

[Look Sharp!]

mormonism is a window into the freemasonic rituals

sounds like they are as paranoid as you are, sport.

You know, I looked at the other side, it amounted to saying he lied on his timelines, etc. but nothing that says hey this guy wasn't a 80th degree Mason or whatever he says he was. If he is crazy why did they promote him up the chain? If he is a liar why not expose him for not having been a 80th degree Mason? I don't see that so I am wondering why?

Ok you say he is a nut but was he an 80th degree Mason? Do the Masons state that he was never a member?

How about that there is no such thing as the 80th degree for a start.

Also, there is no use of arguing with a nut who has already made up thier mind. Masons laugh at this guy.

90th degree, my bad. Masons might laugh at him but many people don't know what to think. And I've yet to see any Mason say this guy was not a Mason with the credentials he says he has. So what gives? The best way to show up a nut is to spread some truth. Where is it?

Have you listened to his phone calls to Allen Colmes and Shawn Hannity?

The highest degree that can be obtained is the 33rd. There is no such degree above that. The guy is a quack. The truth is in many places although you see to gravitate towards the conspiracy sites. Masons dont acknowledge this guy because he is a nut.

I'm not doubting that he might be a quack but the Masons need some help with P.R. if they can't even be bothered to discredit the guy that claims to have been a "90th Degree" Mason and witnessed all this crazy stuff. I saw some Mason sites that attempt to discredit this guy but not one of them that shows any sort of proof or even a statement that he wasn't a Mason. He either was or wasn't. Which is it?

And all it took was a title, "Lord of Highest Excellence" or something.

I dont know if he was or wasnt nor do I care. A lot of his bullshit can be discredited by doing a little reseasrch. I do remember coming across a site stating why he was no longer a mason but you would probably say that was part of the conspiracy because it was written by a mason.
In my opinion the masons dont do much to discredit him because it is not worth the time. Conspiracy theorists already have thier minds made up and if you try to discredit them they say stuff like "you've been trained to say that".
