Freemasons out here

Posts that don't fit into any other category. If it's anything to do with guns, it probably doesn't belong here!

Are you sure a member of the free masons lodge is allowed to acknowledge if he is a freemason?I thought it was a 'secret society'

The name of the Society is pronounced fill a [as in a-bate] lay thess with the accent on the third syllable - lay. It is derived from two Greek words, philos and alethes. It means lover of truth. The Philalethes Society was founded on October 1, 1928, by a group of Masonic Students. It was designed for Freemasons desirous of seeking and spreading Masonic light. In 1946 The Philalethes Magazine was established to publish articles by and for its members. The sole purpose of this Research Society is to act as a clearing house for Masonic knowledge. It exchanges ideas, researches problems confronting Freemasonry, and passes them along to the Masonic world.
Its membership consists of Members and 40 Fellows who are Master Masons in good standing in a Regular Masonic Lodge anywhere in the world. Today the Society has members within 185 Regular Grand Lodges.

The Freemasons are much older, at least 500 years older. Their members include numerous European monarchs and heads of state,American Presidents, scientists like Alexander Fleming,Benjamin Franklin, artists like Da Vinci and writers like Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling.

For some reason the Masonic lodge here is called Jadu ghar(house of magic).
Stories abound of orgies here during Bhupinder Singhs time

Hi all,
Nawab Mir Yousuf Ali Khan Bahadur the Great Salar Jung was also a Freemason. Salar Jung's anniversary fete was held recently in Hyderabad. Please see the link to read a report published in The Hindu regarding this.
