Did everyone watch the program on tv last night about Free Masonry and their history and their secret symbols and such? It was on before but this program showed much, much more. It was a different program but more information on it. It didn't make them look good let me tell you that.

We were going to watch it but I just couldn't stomach it. So we took a pass. I've seen enough already to make me leery of the whole thing.

I can understand. This one was less about demons and such and more about the history of it and facts they had found. It was explaning the meaning of the symbols and such. But if it bugs you I can understand why you wouldn't want to watch it.

You know what I was wrong:doh Tired brain:heh

We did see a little of it, I just was thinking about it. I was not paying attention to it because I was otherwise occupied, but I heard them talking about how some of the Founding Fathers were involved in Freemasonry. I knew that already, but IIRC, they said Benjamin Franklin helped Voltaire get in.

Voltaire was not a Christian and his death was not pleasant.
