rocksaplenty Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 joking aside, I agree with huff huff and ack-ack.I have heard that it's a men's dining club that raises a lot of money for charity with a bit of tradition thrown in for good measure. there is no conspiracy. There is a new purpose built builing in the middle of Chippenham that is about the size of a small library, I'm guessing 3 floors of 400metres squared per floor. Only a few small windows and a small car park. The building has a Free Mason logo on the front of the building. This is a prime site, so the rental yield for a building such as this would be a lot. The only activity is occasionally 10 cars are parked outside. What on earth do they do in there? :yp: I'd love to know. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on that basis all Freemasons lodges are probably secret locations for MI5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 There is some right twaddle posted here. The only way to really find out about Freemasonry is to join. Like all walks of life there is good and bad people in Freemasonry. A little research online reveals the massive amount of good work they do for charity; second only to the National Lottery. Anyone suggesting they represent a net negative contribution to society is 'avin a giraffe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagante Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 how many people admit to being a freemason these days Depends what you mean by 'admit' ... Some masons proudly announce it to all with masonic rings and car stickers, etc. others would never tell, even if asked directly ... then there are those in between. I believe more people admit to being masons these days than did a few years ago. There has been some movement towards more openness about masonry in recent years, and anyone wanting to know something about it can easily find a lot of information on the Internet or by asking at their local lodge. Mind you, this still doesn't curb the plethora of old jokes about goats, rolled-up trouser legs, funny handshakes, etc. that get rolled out whenever masonry is discussed in a public forum.

Google isn't showing anything up, what road is it on? It could just be a building that was funded by one of the many Masonic Charities?!? Does it look like the roof slides back?
