@ louislois - I So stole that graphic! I love it!
Now, as to this post ... My dad is a Mason, my grandpa, his dad, and so on so forth were Masons (In England, no less)
I'm 47 = 4 + 7 = 11
Obviously I did it!
I mean, What the freakin' HELL!?!?!? OooooOOOOoo ... numbers. Scaaaary! oooooOOOOOooooooo ...
Masons are a men's club that drive cancer patients to and from their appointments, sponsor scholarships, visit widows and their own elders who cannot attend anymore. Sure, they have some silly rituals, but those are just meant to make you feel special and part of "the group".
Anyone at all can be a Mason, if they are of good character and over the age of 21, and a male. Atheist, Xhristian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, worshipper of the Egyptian Sun God - they don't give a crap.
Sheesh, I get tired of all this "Masons are evil cultists who run the world" or whatever. It isn't true now, it never was and it probably never will be.
Oops, ahem, sorry. End rant.
