I heard that as you achieve a certain rank in the Free Masons that they use some sort of goggles or glasses to reveal certain truths.  I also heard this on Myth Busters.

Does anybody know what these goggles or glasses are called....I remember something like "Glasses of Truth"


What truths do they reveal?  That aliens exist?  Who really killed Kennedy?

Nah.

I'm not posting anything in the pit.

And arguiing with Eric is useless.

He doesn't want to be right - he wants to win - and will never give up.

Hopefully, the thread will be locked before page 5 anyway.

If someone wants to do this thread why not just do an archive search for the dozen or so from the last year?

Or why not just go to ephesians511.com and read the truth?

Go ahead and be stupid.  All the Masons on here could tell you it ain't true and you wouldn't believe.  Then again we could tell you it was true and you wouldn't believe.

You have the right to be stupid in public.  You appear to be exercising that right as are others and I'm sure others will.  What do YOU think?

Oh that's right we had this mystery technology back when George Washington was President and before, and we successfully kept the news hidden as to why we actually beat the British.

I don't rank Mythbusters very on the credibility scale.

they reveal the truth of what really happened to the USS Liberty. they are needed to veiw the "scroll of truth".

the sacred scroll of thruth is defended by marpat wearing zombies toting airsoft guns. on the 1st full moon of the month the masons sneak out at night with maglights hoping to hit the zombies in the head. the resulting tone of the bashing opens the gate to the cave where the scrolls are stored. Once in side they quickly loot the cave.


hope this helps

What's the hurry?


There should be no need to hurry.

I am Eternal.

As is everyone here.

And we have an Eternity to answer for the choices that we make in our lives.

Take your time and make your points cogently, and you'll have no trouble from me.

Talk about some Shriners who gave some adult female waitresses some trouble, and I'll go fetch one of those countless stories of a Priest/Minister/Choir Director who couldn't keep his hands off...little boys.

He'll write 10 pages and dig up pictures of shriners carrying sick children.

No need to dig them up....they are everywhere to be seen.

Just visit one of the 22 Shriner/Scottish Rite Children's Hospitals in this Country doing the Lord's Work, talk to a few of the parents whose children are receiving the very best medical treatment that money can buy, and then ask anyone of them to show you the bill that they receive at the end of their child's treatment.

An experience such as that would likely shut any Christian's mouth.....

But then you really have to be a Christian in order for such matters to make an eternal impact.

(he'll probably skip over the pictures and reports of shriners harassing waitresses, but that's another story)

I tell you what, you post your stories about Shriners and I'll post stories about Priests and Ministers and Choir Directors....

Guess who will run out of stories faster!



What do those lurid stories say about Christianity? Huh?

Not a damn thing, Brother. Not a Blessed thing, either.

Son, you'd better find another game to play.

You're no good at this one!

From St. Paul....

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

[That is what I have found in Masonry]

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling.
1 Timothy 1: 5-6

That is what I have found in some folk's on this Board...'vain jangling.'

I am reminded of a personal experience with a Mason:

Years ago I was at a pool hall shooting a few games and drinking a few pitchers. Anyway we go up to the bar to get some healthy pool hall food and this little frail old guy is sitting there drinking vodka straight up. It was my friend's neighbor and he had just got out of jail for stealing another guys electric wheelchair and driving it through town drunk, but that's anotehr story. Anyway after a couple of minutes out of no were the exchange between him and I went something like this:

(Taps me on the shoulder)
Old guy: "Are you a Mason"
Me: "Excuse me"
Old guy: " You heard me, are you a Mason"
(I thought he meant a bricklayer, I didn't know)
Me: "No, I'm in the Coast Guard"
Old guy: "What in the hell is that supposed to mean, you got something against masons"
Old guy: "You boys want me to tell you about being a Mason"
Me: "It looks like a lot of hard work (bricklaying I'm thinking) I'm not really interested"
Old Guy: "Well you know Jesus was a mason don't you"
Me: (Laughing)  "Bullshit, I thought Jesus was a carpenter"

The old guy lost it and came after me. Another guy there grabbed him and put him back on his barstool. My buddy knew exactly what he was talking about because he had heard it from him before but he just let me run with it and he thought the little old guy chasing he  me around a table was the funniest shit he had ever seen. That's my only experience with a Mason

That's freakin' hilarious!

I must admit I know little about the Masons. When I was in the funeral business I worked with a guy that was one, and a lot of times our "customers" were Masons. My coworker wouldn't talk about what they did or what it was about, he'd only refute statements my supervisor used to say about Masons (Devil worshippers, etc.).

I just want to know what that thing is that looks like a little BBQ apron.

Me, stir crap up?  I only got 487 hits when I googled "joseph smith""special glasses"  Urum and Thrummin also are mentioned in some of the linked sites.  Now maybe the Church will only accept that as doctrine, but the rest of the world seems to have no trouble with the "special glasses" phrase which even some Mormon sites compare Urum and Thrummin to.   And since "glasses" were part of the original post, it seemed worth bringing the other reference in, if only to make sure Epsilon was not confusing one controversial group with another.  

Now if you want to read about Masons, look for a copy of "Born in Blood" by John J. Robinson. My local library had it.   I'm sure a lot of it is disputed by the Masons, you'll have to sort it out yourself, but it is very interesting nonetheless.
