LEO's/Freemasons

[Charlie]

I am not a mason but I do know that here in TX, most cops were masons. I think it was more of a big deal in years past but I suspect there isn't as much pressure to become one anymore. Heard, for example locally, that in the years past on the Dallas Police Department, if you wanted to get above the rank of patrol officer, you eventually became a mason. I generally heard this was common practice with other local agencies too. Being a mason also helped one along with getting promoted and 'other' special fringe benefits were available too to members. I know a guy on the PD now who joined it primarily for the preferred treatment with the past PD administration.

On a side note, I also heard being a mason in the military was also a plus. Whether or not this is true or not, or widespread, I dunno but this was a rumor I once heard. Maybe someone out there can clarify this?

At any rate, I've come to know it to generally be a secretive society. And, I have no interest in getting involved with it.

I was told when I became a mason, that during WWI and WWII, when POW's were taken, if your captors found out you were a mason, you got better treatment as the captors were Masons too. This is something I've heard but never researched.

I asked this question elsewhere and surprised at the number of Masons that answered. There was an interesting comic that someone posted and I thought I should share it here:

The Curse of Baphomet

I've looked at that site and read the section on Catholicism. I'm not telling anyone to be Catholic but I know my faith. They are so far off on Catholicism that I doubt the accuracy of anything else on there. They have twisted facts and there are outright lies and fallacies. I would take anything on that site about Masons with a grain of salt (make it a boulder). I'm not a Mason either.

BWAAAA, hA ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That cartoon was hilarious! I liked that part where they renounced the lodge, heh heh!!!, and then, haa ha!, their kid got better all of a sudden. Man I'm laughing so hard milk is coming out of my nose.
Seriously folks. that is an anti masonic comic. There are pro sites that explain most all questions. I won't debate it, if you don't like it don't ask to join. I won't force anyone, and I won't shove my beliefs down anyones throat. If you ever have questions though I would be happy to answer if I can. It is not as secret as it used to be.
I would write more, but I am starting to feel like a smarta$$ after the first part of the post. Besides, its time for me to go pray to satan, allah and those other guys. BUSY BUSY BUSY.
