>>><BlueOhannaTerror is onto some very enlightening information, here, duckling. You'd best go back and study history a bit more carefully before condemning his findings.>

He's just repeating accusations. He can't tell us who the persons are that supposedly revealed this "history" or in which "tomes" they did it in.<<<

I don't HAVE to. You and I and apparently the witches, at the very least, all know that this stuff is readily available online. At least the witches and I and a whole lot of OTHER people know this stuff is available online. Apparently you yourself do not, which is kind of embarrassing, considering you're so defensive about the issue, and clearly so wrong.

Call me a liar if you like, but anyone with a decent capacity for doing research can find this stuff for themselves.

I'm as much a liar as anyone claiming that the Scientologists teach that they can CHOOSE the body they move into upon death. Or that they have all this stuff about Aliens seeding the planet.

ORDDU: There are many who have great difficulty accepting certain facts which seem too shocking or outlandish. However, it's been our experience that--usually--the more shocking and outlandish something is--the more likely it is to be true. These secret societies and their secret agenda's are some of the most dangerous issues everyone will have to face as time goes on. Truly frightening but also necessary to be aware of if one expects to deal with the hidden dangers which they represent. You're a brave soul, BlueOhannaTerror, dear. It's an honor to have been in communication with you all this time. We look forward to many more exchanges of information with you.

<You and I and apparently the witches, at the very least, all know that this stuff is readily available online.>

And it's all nonsense. The people writing this stuff have no idea how Freemasonry is structured. There's no such things "inferior" or "superior" Masons, and no one man speaks for all Masons, nor has any one man spoken for all Masons, not even Albert Pike. Because many Masons are freethinkers, and have written books which speculate about myths and spirituality, does not mean that all, most, or even some Masons share those beliefs.

There isn't a Mason that has authority over the current Grandmaster of a state. I've met my state's current Grandmaster, and I've met the three men that will succeed him over the next three years (a Grandmaster serves for one year), and I can assure you that none of them worship Satan, or even Lucifer. I've also read every book that governs the Lodges in my state, and none of them mention Lucifer.

A Lodge of Masons is erected to God, and we acknowledge him and pray to him under that name, and occasionally as the Great Architect of the Universe, or the Supreme Ruler of Heaven and Earth. Masonry teaches that there is one Supreme Being, who created all. Some may call him Yahweh, and some Jehovah, and some Allah, and some believe he has three aspects - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and we respect all these beliefs.

>>><I can assure you at the heart of FreeMasonry's oldest writings is the veneration of "Lucifer" - not "Jesus" or "God" - as the ultimate Divine Authority.>

<<That's simply nonsense. Although we don't refer to Jesus in Blue Lodge, we do refer to God, and many Christians are Masons, and many Masons are Christians. I can't attest to this first hand, but I have been told that there are many Christian references in the York Rite branch of Masonry.<<<

Hardly utter nonsense at all.

If you study the Official Texts/Guide to the beliefs of Freemasonry from the mid-19th Century, you will find that the "Source of All Light" is defined not as the Hebrew God, or Jesus Christ, but is referred to as Lucifer.

The Masons DO have many, many Christians, and I don't mean to claim that current masons, or even any significant number of PAST Masons, worship(ped) Lucifer. But it is there, in the texts. Dig in and find it. It's all there. I had to read and study this stuff myself for a very exhaustive comparative study of cults and secret societies. And no, I'm not equating the two - but both harbor secrets, both enjoy secret texts or texts that are largely ignored or unknown by their membership.

Most people have no idea what their secret society (or cult, whatever the case might be) believes in its ENTIRETY, or what their history might contain. Especially if we're talking about texts that are over 150 years old.

No utter nonsense. Just do the research into the works of some of the most formative Masons in America's history. You'll find some stunners. Scary stunners.

But they're stunners that no sane person is going to follow for any length of time, or take seriously. It's akin to the window dressing at Halloween. Nobody takes that stuff seriously. You just have to laugh and wink at it all.

But it's most definitely there.>>

You know sometimes kids you come back to a website after a few weeks to catch up on a topic or see what you have missed, you randomly click on a number thinking there is discussion about The Little Mermaid, but you realized you entered the Twilight Zone instead ;).

So apperantly another new addition has been cut from the budget for DCA (The new interactive "Walt Disney Story" attraction). Makes you wonder if the'll cut this ride from the budget next.

The only thing it has going for it right now is that its a cartoon tie-in. I just hope they don't go cheap with this attraction. It should be fun, exciting and grand with lots of neat special effects, fully realized audioanimatronics, rich themeing, etc. and hopefully it will be a decent length too. I hate short rides.

I hope the attraction's great too.

As for Douglas... methinks he doth protest too much. Especially when he brings up details that nobody here even needed to mention. That's what we call, in discourse and in poker, "a tell."

i dont believe it will be cut in anyway to be honest. its a family attraction that is needed at dca. The walt disney show on the other hand because they felt it was not needed because they already have alot of theatre shows.

No, it's what is called "laying your cards on the table". I have a full house, you have nothing.

No, he doesn't. Please feel free to post any collaborating evidence to this claim in another thread, and I'll explain why it is either untrue or irrelevant.
