Listen, the first problem you've got to solve with these so-called freemasons is their own ignorance of what group they are involved with. Yes, I've spoken to many freemasons, and they always try to give me some nebulous answer concerning the brotherhood, and I just play stupid as if I don't have the slightest clue. But I say this, the Pimps of the freemasons, I mean the real ghetto pimps are the main problem herein. You know what I'm saying, I'm talking about those 33rd degreers who think they've arrived at something.
Idiots. A lot of them live in Arkansas too, so it's not surprising.

Well, unless you've been in you would not have the slightest clue.

33rd degree is quite an accomplishment. No one should be arrogant, but to call them pimps is rather rude.

Really? I'm pretty sure there are much more Freemasons in the New England area.

Depends. Do you want to know Blue Lodge? York Rite bodies? Scottish Rite bodies? Shriners?
Blue Lodge: Each US State and country is autonomous unto itself. Each Grand Lodge gets its charter from another Grand jurisdiction, usually the one closest to it.
York Rite: There is a National bodies that has a head person.
Scottish Rite: The is the Supreme Council of the Northern Jurisdiction (really small) and the Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdiction (very large).
Not sure about the Shriners though.

That must be in England, not America. Each region/country is usually autonomous unto itself. In the various bodies of the English grand jurisdiction the royal family has much influence. Not the case in America.

That also depends. I have many loyalties. I swore an oath of loyalty when I joined the Army. I'm a loyal Christian. I'm loyal to my family and friends. I am also loyal to my Lodge which elects me to my position.

No I'm a guy. Guys can join the OES, but that symbol specifically is the Kappa Sigma badge.

Do you know about the second commandment?
Quote:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
