In any evebt believe me or not it had a brochure with clinton and other masonic presidents, info about the god with a g thing anc the addy and number of a lodge a few towns over.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 32008295 United States 08/11/2013 07:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As for the timing, the letter hinted strongly that I was being tracked. They claimed to know my astrological profile, and were contacting me because I was approaching a time when my personal power would be at a maximum.

Why would you get such a letter? Someone had to have recommended you to them. Another member or a Mason in the community. So, as far as I know, that sounds pretty reasonable. |

Nothing was in written form for security reasons at that point. You have to have another member invite you or recommend you. I was in Job's daughters as a teen. Didn't remain though. An uncle of mine, who was a banker in NJ wrote a letter of recommendation for me. I only wanted to join because a friend was a member and she wanted me in. I believe you have to be a blood relation to the person who invites you. I haven't participated since I was 15 though and am not sure if the rules are the same. PJ |
