Yea, even the Theravada tradition of Buddhism uses skulls and skeletons, in Thailand a lot of Monks live in cemetaries where they chant all day over skulls and skeletons, it is to remind them of the impermanent nature of things.

I see your frustration with the dems, but how does this relate to the masonic influence on american culture? surely you(of all usernames!) can not deny they contributed to building this country?As to the war, its a seperate issue to me. The war, I agree ,is twice as fucked as the masonic day, but at least the masonic day isnt killing people.not mutually exclusive terms.

Etidorpha, you should do some serious research into freemasonry if you don't understand the connection.

No, its their lack of attention to the war that is killing people. While they play ring around the mason temple people are dying.

Sure, the masons contributed the building of this nation, in a satanic sort of way. Certainly nothing to write home about in my opinion.

What's next, Skull and Bones day? Lets have a day honoring all the wonderful things those pervert CIA spooks from Yale have done for the nation. We can start with Iran Contra and Cocaine.

I don't mean this in a condescending asshole sort of way, but that's the second time I've seen you try to make a "contribution" like this. Do some research before you try and correct people.

FOUNDATION OF THE ORDER OF THE GARTER

It is concluded by the best modern authorities that the celebrated Order of the Garter, which European sovereigns are glad to accept from the British monarch, was instituted some time between the 24th of June and the 6th of August 1348. The founder, Edward III, was, as is well known, addicted to the exercises of chivalry, and was frequently holding jousts and tournaments, at some of which he himself did not disdain to wield a spear. Some years before this date, he had gone some way in forming an order of the Round Table, in commemoration of the legend of King Arthur, and, in January 1341, he had caused an actual round table of two hundred feet diameter to be constructed in Windsor Castle, where the knights were entertained at his expense, the effect being that he thus gathered around him a host of ardent spirits, highly suitable to assist in his contemplated wars against France.

Before the date above mentioned, a turn had been given to the views of the king, leading him to adopt a totally different idea for the basis of the order. 'The popular account is, that, during a festival at court, a lady happened to drop her garter, which was taken up by King Edward, who, observing a significant smile among the bystanders, exclaimed, with some displeasure, "Honi soit qui mal y pense" — "Shame to him who thinks ill of it." In the spirit of gallantry, which belonged no less to the age than to his own disposition, conformably with the custom of wearing a lady's favour, and perhaps to prevent any further impertinence, the king is said to have placed the garter round his own knee.'—Tighe and Davis's Annals of Windsor.

It is commonly said that the fair owner of the garter was the Countess of Salisbury; but this is a point of as much doubt as delicacy, and there have not been wanting those who consider the whole story fabulous. Scepticism, however, rests mainly on the ridiculous character of the incident above described, a most fallacious basis, we must say in all humility, and rather indeed a support to the popular story, considering how outrageously foolish are many of the authenticated practices of chivalry. It is to be remarked that the tale is far from being modern. It is related by Polydore Virgil so early as the reign of Henry VII.

Although the order is believed to have been not founded before June 24th, 1348, it is certain that the garter itself was become an object of some note at court in the autumn of the preceding year, when at a great tournament held in honour of the king's return from France, 'garters with the motto of the order embroidered there-on, and robes and other habiliments, as well as banners and couches, ornamented with the same ensign, were issued from the great wardrobe at the charge of the sovereign.'* The royal mind was evidently by this time deeply interested in the garter. A surcoat furnished to him in 1348, for a spear play or hastilude at Canterbury, was covered with garters. At the same time, the youthful Prince of Wales presented twenty-four garters to the knights of the society.

Also, NO MASONIC PENIS MEASURING!!!

And its "is there NO help for the widows son" , son.

Clearly you are still on the porch of your temple.
But then , you have not yet traveled.

That is correct, I am not a Mason nor do I wish to be one. Your point is?

Are you just on the forum to be a dickhead and troll threads or do you have something to contribute to our community?

And yes, it is "no help"
