Mason symbol

Jackz · 2007-12-20 15:37:50

What’s the story with people having the Masonic symbol with an L in the centre in their Sig’s? (A square crossed by a compass) Some also have the regular one with the G in the centre. As masons don’t wear there symbols to another masons funeral, or outside the lodge at all really, is this the symbol of a boards fraternity?

As a President of the Ballybrack Chapter of the Sting Fan-CLub, I am offended by the use of the word Police in your description.

Also, Bono refused to sign an autograph for me, so I would apprecieate if you could remove the word "signature" as well, as it brings back traumatic memories.

Being a president of the Ballybrack Chapter doesn't mean I'm from Balllybrack.

lol. Thankfully none of that goes on, in fact everything that goes on in Lodge is quite accessible online, it's only the ways we recognise each other that are secret. It's all over in Humanities if you do a search there, no need to end up typing essays in here again when it's all done over there.

I believe the word you are groping for and missing is the clitoris and I hope for any women you have sexual encounters you don't keep groping for and missing their actual clitoris.

Hagar, when and where did I say I was a member and/or associated with that forum. For the record - I've no interest in it, in the least.

And, if you're referring to the pic in my signature, that's not the lolocaust symbol.

No offence intended, but that looks like a real Mason's symbol to me and I wanted it to be clear that no Lolocaust members are using Masonic symbols. We don't want to give offence to anyone. That is what the thread is about after all.
