Is that the emoji that says 'I've just made an ass of myself'?

I think you own the rights to that one to be fair.

There's a lot of you fighting for it in his thread !

Wrong thread bresslaw.

And anyway I don't think making an as of myself is actually a song title.

Eh ?

OK. So at least we are getting somewhere now.

It's a religious group.

So we can add bishops and priests to the list of dodgy bastards welcomed then?

Are LGBT allowed in Bresslaw?

Is it another safe haven for questionable priests?

Are we still in 'the wrong thread' Colonel ? I'm confused now

Do they let anyone believing in Allah in.

What's the view on women vicars?

Excellent you're back Bresslaw. Can you now tell me whether you knew that the organisation you linked to to show that the Freemasons admit women is not part of mainstream Freemasonry because UGLE threw it out about a century ago? I'm wondering whether you were ignorant of the facts or deliberately misleading people? Either way it makes it hard to take your other claims seriously.

Anyway, as you like supreme beings here is a song about one. The open, honest and in no way strange chaps at your men-only club will love it.

Talking religion is forbidden in Masonic meetings

Women have their own Masonic Lodges. That's a fact.
There are women Fremasons That's a fact.

Indeed I know quite a few.

What criteria do they meet to be an exception?

Is it because they're good looking as well?

But you need to talk about religion to get in in the first place.

How odd.

No you don't need to talk about religion to get in. You need to answer a very basic question.

This has a real feeling of being surrounded by school bullies. I can't answer quick enough Heheheh

You've all got staunch opinions that not going to change, nor do I have any right to. I've tried to be open and upfront but I'm tired now.
The invitation to find out more remains open....

I'll leave you with my original link...

Who'd a thought this thread would run so long? I have to say the few Freemasons I know, whilst they are a reasonable, harmless sort of people , I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them. Sneaky types, the types who have opinions on everything , but are afraid to say it out aloud, devils advocate types , like the old pub landlords, say one thing to one person, and something else to another , gossips, backstabbers, nosey types. Just my opinion based on my life experiences. I am sure not all like that, anyone else know any masons fit this description?.

But do you know any Stonecutters?

Forgot to say, 2 of the masons I know were ex coppers

I'm really good looking and I haven't been approached to join.

Should I be worried?

Is it because I was late returning SWAT on DVD to BlockBusters?

Can gays join?

Freemasonry is not concerned with the private lives of its members. It has no official position on the morality of sexual orientations.. Any man may become a Freemason provided that he believes in God, is loyal to his country, and is a man of good character. Since being gay does not contradict any of those requirements they would be allowed to join , though as in any walk of life may meet some resistance along the way.

Iv also asked if Transexuals etc can join but it was not responded to.

Well I believe in a greater being.

Am outrageously good looking.

Have unquestionable character (s)

And am willing to lie on oath.

Can I join.

If the Colonel joins then that ticks my greater being box.

I know one freemason (that I'm aware of) and he says he likes going because they have epic piss-ups.

I know 1 and he enjoys it because it makes him feel important.

Would they join the masons or the masonettes who Bresslaw mentioned...?

I think you're refering to marriage there.

Not quite as odd as the subject we're discussing. I don't want information on a lot of things..... especially those that excel in jibber jabber.

I haven't applied!!!!!! Have I ? I want to be a soft cladder!

The ignorance in this thread is fucking staggering...

There aren't any women Freemasons in lodges recognised by UGLE are there Bresslaw. You're pretending that women in a separate organisation that uses the word Freemasons in its name counts. It doesn't and you know that, saying untruths are facts doesn't make them true.

You may be right bit the comedy is epic.

And rhat wins every time.

Anyway you have been asked a question.

Only in your opinion, so enlighten us then.

Do the Masons get discount at takeaways?

The 'taught to be cautious brigade' help each other hence all judges, magistrates, police etc should be obliged to make public their membership of a potentially corrupt organisation. There are lodges exclusively for police which will always be suspected of being responsible for the closing of ranks when wrongdoing should be made public.

This is truly brilliant reading.
