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.

ΚΣ (Kappa Sigma) is an international fraternity with currently 216 chapters and 29 colonies in North America. There have been more than 250,000 initiates, of which more than 182,500 are living and more than 12,000 are undergraduates. It is currently the leader of all American fraternities in terms of pledges and new initiates per year, service hours, and philanthropic donations
Do you know the meaning of the Star & Crescent? I did not think so. It has so many symbolic meanings towards the Abrahamic religions.
The Star & Crescent does not break the 2nd Commandment. I've talked with Christian authorities and they agree it does not.

What is so wrong with this. I personally have given thousands of community service hours and donated money on behalf of my chapter to hospitals or charities.

Please.

The star and crescent symbol itself is very ancient, dating back to early Sumerian civilization, where it was associated with the sun God and moon Goddess (one early appearance dates to 2100 BCE), and later, with Goddesses Tanit and even Diana.
...
Today, the star and crescent is widely accepted as a symbol of the Islamic faith
...
It is, however, not accepted by all Muslims- many Muslims consider it un-Islamic and even blasphemous.
During the 20th century, Satanists inverted the upright pentacle and adopted it as their own symbol. However, the symbol is most commonly shown with the head of a goat
And then we have the skull and bones in your symbolism.
Quote:
A skull and crossbones is a symbol consisting of a human skull and two bones crossed together under the skull. Today, it is generally used as a warning of danger (usually in regard to poisonous substances).
Jesus did nothing in secret, but your kind hide everything. The best thing is, you and your Jesuit satanic worshipping masters, are being exposed for who they really are and what they represent. There is little we can do against such a powerfull organisation, however through faith in Christ, you are powerless.
Enjoy your Godless fornications for you have little time left, better that you leave and seek redemption before your time expires, seek Jesus before Lucifer devours what remains of your soul.

Ah, another religious zealot who tows some archaic idea that freethinkers are bad. Don't worry about my soul, I have done nothing wrong.

I am not worried about your soul, however i think you should be. You claim to be a Christian, yet Christianity opposes everything the Freemasons stand for. Just because they have an open bible and allow you in as a Christian doesn't mean it has Christian origins, the signs and symbols are satanic in every form and if you think otherwise you are deluding yourself. The venus fly trap puts out nice odours to attract the fly, but when it goes in it becomes trapped and devoured, that is what is happening to your soul, it is being devoured slowly, wake up before it's too late.
My Father was a Freemason and my mother and were both Christians, they both left when they realised the error of their ways, but it left many scars on our family, for many years.

Okay, where? What says "you can't join Freemasonry"?
I read something yesterday that talked about the Church had retracted it's ban on Freemasons, but I'll have to check that out when I get home from work. The orginial banning and condemnation started with the Catholic Church, which was baseless in the first place.

The lore/legend of the Freemasons delves into Judeo-Christian history; that of Solomon's Temple. Many of symbols are impliments of Masonry (tools for the lamen). Well, unless you know the true meaning of the symbols you can't really say they are satanic can you? If you are not in the society then you are not privy to its meaning. So call me deluded, but it will just fall on deaf ears.

Well, you get what you put into it. Many members expect a lot without putting anything into it so they usually leave with bitterness.
