The Freemasons

I like the top picture there and will have it on my screensaver - but none of these would be acceptable in any Lodge. The other two pictures I do not see any relevance to...

I don't really get the female pictures (second two), the only other pictures I can see on the internet concerning similar images are from David Icke's website - and we all know that he is nuttier than squirrel droppings as are all those who follow him.

Well Aquarius - irony is when you talk about things being utterly ridiculous - you can spend countless amount of time, effort and energy blaming and pointing the finger of blame on all sorts of other people, the Jews, the Brits, the Freemasons, the ICA, or whomever you wish to attack., but you are still culpable for your financial, and social status. So it is not our fault that you are a loner - you choose to be paranoid, you choose to be miserable.. I am perfectly happy to enjoy my membership of Freemasonry and don't give a flying fig whether you disagree with it or not.

Go and have a pint and enjoy life.....if not have some Poitín...

:pac:

I can post smilies as well

Aren't you amazing, but please don't take up humour. Leave it to the comedians.

I guess that the problems for a paranoid, conspiracy nutter is the loneliness and the lack of humour....

what a bloke needs is a good job, a good bunch of friends, a good house, a good drink and a good woman (or a bad woman) to have a good life....

Ah you just jealous that I have a good life....go and be miserable elsewhere...

I was being facetious - My gorgeous wife would kill me if I had any such picture as a screensaver.

p.s. David Icke doesn't need money - he is the son of God.....

I think the second picture is an Order of The Eastern Star thing. I would guess it's supposed to convey a young girl picturing the woman she will become with the help of the Eastern Star, the Masonic Order and her father, all represented to her right. Just my opinion.

I think it just looks like an ugly lamp to be honest. I may just be missing its significance in the picture.

Well its not masonic at all. Maybe as suggested Eastern Star and Daughters of Job.

Whenever I hear about pedophilia I immediately think about the Catholic Church and the Vatican....

Well with all the scandals in the RC church, the cover-ups and going on with the diocese reports, the Magdalene Laundries, the Christian Brothers Industrial Schools - that is quite a large amount of systematic abuse, not only child sex abuse but torture and exploitation - and all documented and verified. This not only in Ireland but also in Germany, France, USA and heavens know what sort of abuse goes on in third world countries in Africa and South America. Yet to coach athletics at a local athletics club and teach at a local school - I have to undergo Code of Ethics, Child Protection courses and Garda vetting, which should be a lot more stringent than it presently is. Yet a local parish priest can walk into a school or sports club, with no checks or vetting from Gardai and talk to the kids.

However this is not about bashing the church (they do a pretty good of that themselves)and that is on another forum, and child protection and anti-pedophilia should be first and foremost to all organisations that deal with children. Every sports club has a designated Child Protection officer/representative.

I think every and all religious organizations are under scrutiny and probably one of the main reasons why the Pope has resigned. As for the GAA - they have huge political clout but at least they also have to enforce child protection and code of ethics.

Like all true Irishmen on this site Getz, most of us are proud of the men that stood up to the British Army and the Black and Tans from 1916-1922, and considering that many of our forebears fought for independence and also in the unfortunate civil war that followed would we would never call any of them terrorists. The GAA with all its present day faults at least stood the test of time and was the standard bearer for Irish culture and language, even when the Brits made the GAA illegal and committed crimes against humanity with the Croke Park Bloody Sunday massacre. At least here in Ireland Getz, our history books have the whole history of our nation - warts and all., whereas your British history such atrocities by the likes of the Black and Tans are non-existent in the books. In fact when your Prime Minister Cameron was in India and refused to give an official apology for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the vast majority of Brits never heard of it despite being a major scene in the Gandhi movie.
So do you think that there is a sports ground in Britain named after any Black and Tan?

hit a sore point have i ?,the IRA have killed more irish people in the north and the south of ireland than the british,and are classed as terriorists in both countries,and it was them how started the civil war in ireland that turned brother against brother,and their off spring is still killing and bombing, by the way the army in india was very much irish born ,
