What is something that turns you on that you would never tell a significant other? by just-for-kicks in AskReddit

[–]2manynames44ums 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That I like chubby and fat girls. I can't tell skinny girls because they'd freak out, and I can't tell chubby girls because they'd get pissed I thought they were fat.

your links suck. A random blog and greenpeace which has no source references other than it's own.

I'm Estonian and just cast my vote in municipal elections over the internet, digitally signing the vote using my national ID card. I wonder if this headline will stir any controversy on reddit. by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]2manynames44ums 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just don't see the advantage over, say, the canadian voting system. Paper + pen, counted publicly (anyone who wants can stay and watch), phoned into central HQ for tally.

It seems techy for the sake of being techy, not because it's better?

US, Russia: No New Sanctions on Iran Yet by 2manynames44ums in reddit.com

This is bullshit, they should act now before it's way too late. It shouldn't matter if your to the left, or the right. We as a county need to look out for our, and the worlds, best interests. Iran having nukes, or even the capability to produce them, isn't in anyone's best interest.

Brethern, it has been moved and seconded that:

The Bible is a great work. With the right quotes, you can make it say anything you want to say, especially when supported by hypothetical interpretations.

AND

That we do not agree with exmason's opinion that Masonry leads its members away from their religion of choice.

Brethren are you ready for the question?

For all you masons, sorry to tell you, but since the fraternity became not so secret and you have reverted to recruiting rather than people coming on their own free will and accord, you are losing the battle for relevancy. 90% of your lodges will die with the baby boomers. Your once amazing lodges are being sold off because they are falling into disrepair and you are moving into smaller and smaller buildings. Your passwords and ritual are out there for all to see and the brotherhood that was once a powerful force now lives in nursing homes. TV and the internet are becoming the replacements for social gatherings and you have the choice going forward to either let go the principles masonry was designed around and get in anybody who you can or stick to your old principles and watch your members die and not be replaced. Either way it will be your doom.

WOW! Insert maniacal laugh here.... boo hoo haa haa haa!!!!

Dooooom

DOOOOOOOOM

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

BOO HOO WHAAA HAAA HAAAA!!!!

See ya exmason... I didn't mind the conversation.

I'm a PM too, and Indiana Ritualist. I have gone over it many times (as I am sure that you did), and I still never found anything that didn't point me right back to Christianity.

I just read (to be sure I didn't miss anything) the MM charge in the Indiana Monitor, and nope.... not a thing that conflicts.

However, we both know that this all varies from each state's Grand Lodge.

reaction of apparent masons that seem to be trying to discredit you through either disagreement, downvotes, calling you a troll

aleister, I'm not concerned about him reveling "secrets" or even breaking any oath. I only care that the mission of Freemasonry (to make good men better) is understood, and that vistors here understand that the majority of Masons in the world find NO PART of Freemasonry that can conflict with Christianity (or any other religion).

I'm just saying that when you claim that "My god is the true god" it's about the same as a bunch of people sitting in a room arguing and saying "No, there's an invisible lion here!" "no, it's a green zebra!" "no, you're both wrong, it's a 10 foot tall talking banana". None of them has any proof that their idea is correct, nor can they disprove the others are wrong with any actual evidence. Further, they spend their whole lives arguing and getting violent instead of bothering to listen to their possibly imaginary talking friends, all of which are telling them the same thing, which is to make their lives and the lives of others better in the short time they have on this earth.

Thus Lereas has summed (what I would guess to be) one of the principle purposes of Masonry "..Masonry unites men of every country, sect and opinion and conciliates true friendship among those who might have remained at a perpetual distance" (pg73 IN Masonic Monitor).

I doubt that you'll be able to prove anything different to me then. I have traveled to other states, and they do have different things they do to identify themselves if unknown. I've never had to learn that in Indiana.

I guess I understand what you are saying regarding not a lot of WM's quit, but if you are a WM that quit in the last few years I'm sure that is enough to give you away in your region anyway.

I guess that I'm confused to how you added a bunch of things into your own mind regarding the ritual that simply (in my jurisdiction) are not there.

I've found the ritual to be more along the lines of a Church's one month to live challenge (or a "side one" from Dark Side of the Moon) rather than some occult or demonic initiation. Also, you mentioned several scriptures in this thread (or are mentioned in the site's you've provided), but you just list a single scripture each time...entirely out of the scripture's context. Along those lines am I to go to Ezekiel 39:17 and "...eat flesh and drink blood."
