All I know is he went to meetings. I think in those old days these kinds of clubs were more popular than they are now. I think their main purpose was time away from the wife and family and time spent with the guys. A sort of hobby in a way. Be open honest. What was your dad's financial situation? I dont think I have ever seen a mason or some members of a secret organization that were employed at Starbucks or at Pizza Hut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think I have ever seen a mason or some members of a secret organization that were employed at Starbucks or at Pizza Hut My dad was an accountant. He was also on the local school board and I'm not sure what else. He was a player, if you know what that means. A snappy dresser. I never in my life saw him without a suit and a tie or at least a sports coat. He liked to gamble, too. I grew up in the biggest house in the neighborhood. What all this means is, I think he lived beyond his means. Thing is, we lived in this really small town in the 1950s when the economy was good. I think there were more exclusive clubs in town, the Elks or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podo Posted September 14, 2018 #57 Share Posted September 14, 2018 There's a Lions Lodge next door to my apartment building. All I know about them is that those old people have way better parties than I do. AND, they always have the noise down by 23:00, which is very considerate of them. Also one time one of them helped me change a tire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if they are? You're making a logical leap here: that Masons are bad and that Masons are a cult. Neither of which are proven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarMountainKid Posted September 19, 2018 #60 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Come to think of it, my grandfather on my mother's side was a Mason. My grandmother was a member of the woman's auxiliary, the Eastern Star. That's what she told me once. By all accounts my grandfather was a very good man. I really know nothing about the Masons.

Also, the Lions Club traditionally earns money for the blind by selling brooms. Are you seriously suggesting that paltry income is really being used for nefarious reasons? Brooms? There's a reason people use the term "conspiridiot" when referring to people whose critical thinking skills are subpar. --Jaylemurph Hi JayLemurph Sure it all sounds innocent on the surface selling brooms to the blind but then it evolves into brooms for drugs then stepping up the game to brooms for guns and world domination. jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromdor Posted November 23, 2018 #64 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Lions? It's a social network club that doubles for a pretext to go out an drink beer- at least here in town. The father-in-law was a high ranking Mason. Never directly asked but hinted quite a bit about me joining the Mason's. I looked into it, but lacked a fundamental requirement: You have to believe in a "Grand Designer" which I don't. The lawyers, doctors, business owners and politicians in it does give it's networking perks considerable heft, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I got cheated out of my hereditary dominion, there’ll be hell to pay. I’ll turn the Lions into worse that what the pin heads here fear they are! —Jaylemurph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
