Correspondent Bill Whitaker reports from Germany's Baltic Coast on the bombing of the Cap Arcona, a little-known human tragedy in the closing days of World War II in Europe. Once a luxurious German ocean liner, the Cap Arcona was commandeered by the Nazis and, at war's end, turned into a floating concentration camp. Thousands of prisoners were killed in the aerial attack. Whitaker interviews historians and speaks with Holocaust survivors who witnessed the bombing to bring this largely overlooked chapter of history to light. This is a double-length segment. Marc Lieberman is the producer.Correspondent Jon Wertheim travels to Nottingham, England, to visit the Kanneh-Mason family—seven siblings, all celebrated classical musicians, whose talent is truly music to the ears. Supporting one another in harmony as they take to the world's stage, this extraordinary septet, as Wertheim discovers, is an orchestra greater than the sum of its parts. David M. Levine is the producer.

Latter-day Saints revere Joseph Smith as a prophet of God. His role is absolutely central to the claims of Mormonism. LDS Church President Joseph Fielding Smith highlighted this important role:“Mormonism, as it is called, must stand or fall on the story of Joseph Smith. He was either a prophet of God, divinely called, properly appointed and commissioned, or he was one of the biggest frauds this world has ever seen. There is no middle ground.” (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation 1:188. Italics in original)In light of this, it makes sense to examine the story of Joseph Smith to evaluate what we should think of him. Consider five elements of his story that bear upon this question.Occult Treasure Hunting Money digging was a fairly common practice in frontier America in the late 1700s and early 1800s. It involved certain rituals or ceremonies performed to obtain buried treasure. The treasure was thought to be guarded by evil spirits. Joseph Smith as a young man offered his services for hire as a money digger. Smith's entire family practiced various folk-magic practices, including visions, dreams and occult rituals.Joseph's method in finding lost treasure involved the use of a seer stone, which he discovered in 1822 while digging a well for a neighbor. He would place this small rock in his hat and pull his hat up over his face to block out the light. He claimed that he could see supernaturally through the stone to help locate the place where the treasure was buried.The Vagrant Act, a New York law at the time, defined a disorderly person to include one who pretended to have skill in palm reading, telling fortunes, or discovering where lost goods could be found. In 1826 - during the period while Joseph was supposedly being prepared by God to receive the gold plates containing the Book of Mormon - he was arrested, brought before a judge, and charged with being a “glass-looker” and a disorderly person. The judge determined that Joseph was guilty, though no penalty was administered.Shortly after this, Joseph stopped money digging but kept the seer stone. It was with this stone that he claimed to find the gold plates and to later produce the Book of Mormon. Historians have documented many points of connection between Joseph's early occult practices and the origins of the Book of Mormon.The First Vision Joseph Smith's “First Vision” is a key part of the LDS story and establishes several unique LDS beliefs. The official account of this vision describes how the 14-year-old Smith, eager to learn the truth about which of the competing Christian churches was true, went to a secluded grove to ask God. There God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him and told him not to join any of them, for all of them were apostate. That event launched the prophetic mission of Joseph Smith to restore Jesus' original church to the earth. The official account, now included in LDS scriptures, was written by Joseph Smith in 1838, 18 years after the events it recounts. Yet historical research in recent years has uncovered eight other accounts of the First Vision. Some were written by Smith himself, or were recorded by others who heard Smith tell about it. Most of these accounts are earlier than the official version. It appears that over time, the story changed and grew into its final form. In some versions, two personages appear to Smith. In another, only “the Lord” appears. In others, the glorious personage is an angel. In the official version, the personages tell Smith that all churches are corrupt. In another version, this message comes from an angel. In other versions, this message is missing. In some versions, In one version, Smith reports that he was told, “Your sins are forgiven.” But this is absent in other versions. The official account says that Joseph was 14 when he had the vision. Another version, in Smith's own handwriting, says that he was 15. Others give his age as 17. The LDS Church's Gospel Topics Essay: First Vision AccountsThe Kirtland Banking ScandalThe LDS Church was officially founded in 1830 in New York, near Joseph Smith's home town. By the early 1830s Smith and his followers moved to Kirtland Ohio, where a number of converts had joined the church. New converts from other areas converged on Kirtland to be part of the LDS community. But the church's presence in Ohio didn't last long.There was friction with the locals on a number of points, which led to persecution. But one significant issue emerged when Joseph Smith and other LDS leaders organized an illegal bank in 1836, called the Kirtland Safety Society. Smith not only broke the law to form the bank; he had no expertise in financial matters and hid behind his prophetic mantle to convince others to fund the bank, claiming that the audible voice of God instructed him to establish it. He prophesied that the bank would grow and flourish, surviving when others failed. Yet this bank failed in 1837, releasing a hornet's nest of creditors who demanded payment, leading to numerous lawsuits and threats of violence. Many in the LDS church at that time lost faith in Smith's prophetic leadership. Others were convinced that Smith intended to defraud investors from the beginning. Joseph left Kirtland in January 1838 under cover of darkness, never to return again. FreemasonryFreemasonry was prevalent in the areas where Joseph Smith grew up. In fact, Joseph's brother Hyrum became a Mason while the family was still living in Palmyra, New York. Some years later, in Nauvoo, Illinois, when the LDS church was at its height, many prominent Latter-day Saints were Masons. Joseph became a Mason in March 1842. Less than two months later, he introduced the core ritual of the LDS temple, the endowment ceremony. Numerous scholars have pointed out the many parallels between the Masonic ritual and the LDS temple ritual, such as: the language of the ritual; the handshakes and other physical signs; the oaths and promises made; the vows of secrecy; the clothing involved in the ceremonies; the presentation of the ritual through drama, and more. Masonic themes and symbols are also reflected in the architecture of the Nauvoo temple, such as the beehive; the sun, moon and stars; the square; and the all-seeing eye. The LDS temple ritual, said by Mormons to have been given by divine revelation, is actually based on Masonic rituals.PolygamyPlural marriage in Mormonism began with Joseph Smith. He was toying with the principle of polygamy as early as 1831, and began introducing the doctrine shortly thereafter, but the revelation outlining the practice was not written down until 1843. Around 1834, Smith had a sexual relationship with Fanny Alger, a teenager living in his home. Faithful LDS scholars view this as the first of his plural marriages, but early LDS leader Oliver Cowdery described it as a “dirty, nasty, filthy affair.” By 1842, Joseph had married 10 women. That summer, he married six additional women, along with 17 others in 1843. Two of these were only 14 years old. While Mormons have denied it for years, the LDS Church has acknowledged that many of these marriages were physically consummated.The revelation authorizing plural marriage is found in Doctrine and Covenants 132. There, Joseph's wife Emma is threatened with destruction if she does not go along with Joseph's polygamy. (Today, most people would view that as spiritual abuse.) Section 132 also requires plural wives to be virgins. Yet Joseph married a number of women who were already married to other men. The revelation required a man taking plural wives to obtain the permission of his first wife. Yet Joseph married many women without Emma's knowledge. The LDS Church's Gospel Topics Essay: Plural Marriage in Kirtland and NauvooAgain, Latter-day Saint leaders have challenged us to consider Joseph Smith's story, to discern whether he was a prophet of God. These five elements of Joseph's history give evidence that he was not.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

For much of the twentieth century, Harry Carr's Transitional Theory became one of the most influential explanations for the origins of speculative Freemasonry.But what does the historical evidence actually tell us?In this episode of Masonic Muscle, we investigate the Transitional Theory using the same historical framework established in Campaign Two: The Great Investigation.Rather than asking which theory we prefer, we ask better questions:What is the claim?What evidence supports it?What evidence raises additional questions?What can the surviving documents actually tell us?We'll examine the Schaw Statutes, the earliest Scottish lodge records, accepted Masons such as Sir Robert Moray and Elias Ashmole, and the Edinburgh Register House Manuscript to better understand why Harry Carr's explanation became so influential among modern Masonic historians.Whether you're a Freemason, a student of history, or simply fascinated by how institutions evolve over time, you're invited to join the investigation.Sources Used in This EpisodeHarry CarrThe Transition from Operative to Speculative Freemasonry (lecture/paper)William SchawThe Schaw Statutes (1598 & 1599)The Edinburgh Register House Manuscriptc. 1696Douglas Knoop & G.

The Origin War enters a new campaign.For twelve episodes, we examined Kenneth Mackenzie's twelve competing theories on the origins of Freemasonry. Now the investigation changes.Instead of asking "Which theory is correct?", we begin asking a far more important question:How should Masons investigate history?In this episode we examine the founding of Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076, the rise of the Authentic School of Masonic research, and Roeinton B. Khambatta's remarkable review of more than one hundred years of Masonic scholarship.Rather than searching for certainty, Campaign Two is about learning how to think like an investigator.The goal isn't simply to collect more information.It's to ask better questions.In this episodeWhy Campaign Two changes the Origin WarThe intellectual climate of Victorian EnglandWhy Quatuor Coronati Lodge was foundedWhat the Authentic School actually meansRoeinton Khambatta's surprising conclusionsWhy multiple converging origins deserve careful considerationThe five investigative questions we'll use throughout Campaign TwoSources DiscussedRoeinton B.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes Special return Guest , Author Leo Zagami Date: July 14th, 2026 EP: 744 DISCUSSION: Leo will be talking about his new book “ THE VATICAN'S TOP SECRET ALIEN AGENDA: Hidden Encounters, Forbidden Rituals, and Jesuit Astronomers in the Age of UFO Disclosure” where he breaks down the religious and occult implications of disclosure, will speak about forbidden knowledge, and rituals, the Marian sightings and much more. Put your seat belts on as we go down this very dark and complex rabbit hole. Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ Please support The show by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting. Thank you all !!! About Leo: Leo Lyon Zagami was born in Rome in March 1970. He is an internationally renowned investigative journalist and has authored of more than 20 books in several languages since 2009. Among them are two U.S. bestsellers from CCC Publishing, Pope Francis: The Last Pope? Money, Masons and Occultism in the Decline of the Catholic Church, and The Invisible Master: Secret Chiefs, Unknown Superiors, and the Puppet Masters Who Pull the Strings of Occult Power from the Alien World. In 2019, because of escalating political and religious persecution in Europe, Zagami relocated to Palm Springs, California, with his wife, Christy. In 2024, he became a naturalized American citizen and formally renounced his Italian citizenship in protest. Like all volumes from Confessions of an Illuminati 4 through 12—the series' powerful finale—this book was composed directly in English, not translated from Italian as the earlier books were. It marks the second installment in a bold new series of focused essays that began with The Rise and Fall of a Frankist Monster: Exposing Jeffrey Epstein and the Most Powerful Jewish Sect in the World which take a deeper, unflinching dive into the religious and sociopolitical themes first introduced in the Confessions series, ranging from secret societies, Freemasonry, cultish sectarian beliefs, to the Vatican's hidden role in world affairs and exopolitics. In this volume, Zagami confronts one of the most explosive subjects of our time: extraterrestrial intelligence and the Vatican. WEBSITE: www.leozagami,com About The Book: The Vatican's Top Secret Alien Agenda: Hidden Encounters, Forbidden Rituals, and Jesuit Astronomers in the Age of UFO Disclosure - With UAP disclosure becoming mainstream, Leo Zagami breaks down the religious and occult implications in The Vatican's Top Secret Alien Agenda. This work exposes the Vatican's hidden, long-term knowledge of extraterrestrial life, and, for the first time, reveals its secret UFO agenda, which has been managed by the Jesuits since the 1950s and threatens to reshape our deepest religious beliefs well beyond the boundaries of the Catholic Faith. With disclosure imminent, this book addresses the deep rift in Christian thought. The author navigates between the Jesuit-influenced Catholic view of extraterrestrials as marvelous creations and the Evangelical and Orthodox perspective that these beings are, in fact, demonic agents of a looming spiritual war. Discover the shocking truth behind groundbreaking events such as the 1933 Magenta UFO crash and other “secret files” buried in the Vatican Archives. With Pope Leo XIV returning to Castel Gandolfo—the legendary site of a 1961 extraterrestrial meeting that may have influenced the Second Vatican Council—the line between ancient tradition, Rosicrucian thought, and modern UAP disclosure is beginning to blur in one of the most consequential books for one of the most consequential times in history.

Mackenzie's Royal Masonic Cyclopaedia (1877) and examine why Wren became one of the most enduring figures in Masonic origin literature.More importantly, we ask whether admiration has sometimes been mistaken for evidence.In This EpisodeTheory #11 of the 12 Origin Theories of Freemasonry• Sir Christopher Wren• The Great Fire of London (1666)• St. Paul's Cathedral• The rebuilding of London• Anderson's Constitutions• The transition from operative to speculative MasonryWhy association is not the same as causationBattlefield QuestionDid Sir Christopher Wren help create speculative Freemasonry......or did later generations of Masons place England's greatest architect into their origin story because he represented everything the Craft admired?Continue the InvestigationRoyal Masonic Cyclopaediahttps://archive.org/details/royalmasoniccycl00mackAnderson's Constitutions (1723)https://archive.org/details/constitutionsoff00andeThe Origins of Freemasonry — David StevensonThe Craft — John HamillThe Pocket History of Freemasonry — Pick & KnightInternet Archivehttps://archive.orgSacred Textshttps://www.sacred-texts.comNext BattlefieldNext we conclude Brother Kenneth Mackenzie's twelve origin theories with one of the most important figures in early speculative Masonry:Dr. John Theophilus Desaguliers.The Origin War continues.Strengthening the Craft... one degree at a time.

The sermon identifies Freemasonry as a deceptive cult and false religion that opposes biblical Christianity. Using Matthew 7 and 2 Corinthians 11, the text warns believers to discern false prophets by their fruits and reject teachings that deny the deity of Christ or His atoning blood. The message highlights how Masonry promotes self-salvation through works and universalism, directly contradicting the gospel of grace. It urges Christians to examine any affiliation with the organization against Scripture and to remain faithful to Jesus Christ as the sole path to salvation.

In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we transition from the broader abstract principles of early America to look directly at the individuals who stood at the intersection of history and the fraternity: the Masonic Founding Fathers. While popular folklore sometimes claims every signer of the Declaration of Independence was a brother, we separate history from myth to look at the genuine, documented Masons among the creators of the nation. We examine the lives, leadership styles, and lodge backgrounds of legendary figures. Join us as we look at how their specific experiences inside the lodge room informed their actions on the world stage, and what their legacy teaches us about leadership today.

This week on episode 0718, we dive deep into the archives of 1937 and 1938 to explore two powerful Masonic articles: Dr. Ernest Crutcher's controversial challenge to our fear of mortality in Death: A Resting Place Between Lives, and Rabbi H. Griffan's rallying cry against the rise of totalitarianism in Masons as Watchmen. Plus, we uncover the dark, forgotten history of a 1930s domestic hate group known as the Black Legion, and we have an important update regarding the 2026 John Skeene Conference. All this and more!

Why would anyone connect Oliver Cromwell to Freemasonry?Why would anyone connect Oliver Cromwell to Freemasonry?This theory may be wrong — but the reason it survived tells us something important about power, politics, and the Craft.This is Theory #9 of the 12 origin theories listed by Brother Kenneth Mackenzie in the Royal Masonic Cyclopaedia (1877), and it may be one of the most misunderstood battlefields in the entire Origin War.This episode isn't about proving Oliver Cromwell founded Freemasonry.The historical evidence doesn't support that conclusion.Instead, we investigate a more interesting question:Why did later generations of intelligent Masons connect one of England's most controversial political figures to the Craft?In this episode:• The English Civil War and the execution of Charles I• Oliver Cromwell and the Commonwealth• How political revolutions reshape institutions• The actual claims behind the Cromwell Theory• What evidence supports the theory—and what doesn't• Why historians like Robert Freke Gould, Douglas Knoop, G.P. Jones, and David Stevenson remain skeptical• What this theory teaches us about evaluating historical claims"The origin and source whence first sprang the institution of Freemasonry has given rise to more difference of opinion and discussion among Masonic scholars than any other topic in the literature of the institution." — Dr. Albert G.

This week, we explore the ripple effects of our words and thoughts through "Guard Well the Portals of the Mind," discussing Albert Pike's concept of everlasting vibrations and William James's theory of "idea-motor action" as a sobering reminder to actively banish pessimistic thoughts and invite in the Great Architect. Next, we challenge the notion of Freemasonry as a mere social club with George H. Steinmetz's "The Worthy and Well-Qualified," which argues that Masonic allegories are actually designed to conceal the secret doctrine from the multitude and that the Craft requires genuine intellectual pursuit as a "progressive science". Finally, we share an exciting announcement for the 3rd John Skene Memorial Conference happening August 28th to 30th, 2026, in Burlington, New Jersey; for just $100, Masons and non-Masons alike can enjoy a weekend of fellowship, scholarship, and entertainment honoring America's first Freemason—a highly recommended experience that RJ has personally presented at in the past.

In part two, Travis takes us back in time to Western New York State during the beginning of the Jacksonian era. The plans of 50-year-old William Morgan to publish Masonic secrets turned into one of America's first nationwide true-crime media frenzies. After Morgan and printer David C. Miller threatened to expose the inner workings of Freemasonry, local Masons responded with lawsuits, surveillance, sabotage, armed mobs, bogus warrants, arson attempts, kidnapping, and possibly Morgan's murder in the Niagara River.  This episode follows the story from Batavia taverns and print shops to the Ontario County jail, the road to Rochester, the failed Canadian handoff, and the grim stone powder magazine at Old Fort Niagara where Morgan was last known to be held. We also dig into the forgotten role of David C. Miller, the “Masonic spy” Daniel Johns, the propaganda war between Masons and Anti-Masons, and how the scandal helped create the first major third party in American politics.

The Hoop Pole Knights Abridged version of a 19th Century Anti-Masonic Song Some poets sing in epic strains, Of warriors and their fates, And some that rise and some that fall, Of kingdoms and of states; But hark ! the while in loftier song, And more sublimely grand, I sing to all the listening world The brave Masonic Band. The world was still, and wonders rare, Save now and then a dream Of railroads, and of side canals, And guns that go by steam; When Morgan swore a mighty oath, In spite of friends or foes, That he, for cash or conscience' sake, Would Masonry disclose And Miller swore to print the tale, And spread it far and near, That all the blind on earth might see, And all the deaf might hear; That from the greatest to the least, By Scripture rule, forsooth, That all should come to knowledge of The hidden light of truth. Then hell broke loose, and all the host Of Masons circled round, To kidnap both, destroy the book, Or burn Batavia down; And fury seized on many a brain, And vengeance seemed to start, In room of Love and Charity, From many a Mason's heart. And then the General Hoop-pole Knight, Renowned for chivalry, Began to feel that feather grow, Called popularity ; And how if he succeeded well By prowess in the fight, That he should be a Senator, As well as leading Knight: "And cried, ' Arise my friends, arise ! With pistols, swords, and dirks, Hoop-poles and knives, and cudgels strong, Prepared for bloody works; Without regard to powers that be, Or laws that men devise, On Miller, seize, and seize the book-- Succeed, or sacrifice.' On foot, on horse, in wagons stored, They marched ten miles or more, To guard their victim of revenge, And triumph in his gore; The while the people rose in strength, With blood at boiling heat, And sent him back to printing books, And made the band retreat. Nay, since the days of Don Quixote, When windmills were his foe, There has not been a scene like this, Unless in shades below; And even Don would laugh, and shake His sides till in distress, Had he but seen the Yankee Knights Attack a Printing Press.

Spotify DescriptionDid Freemasonry come from the Pagan Mysteries?In this episode of Masonic Muscle: The Origin War, we examine Theory #2 from the 12 origin theories of Freemasonry: the claim that modern Freemasonry may have roots in the ancient Pagan Mystery traditions.This is one of the most powerful and dangerous origin theories because it pulls us into the world of initiation, secrecy, death and rebirth symbolism, sacred drama, hidden teaching, and ancient systems of moral and spiritual transformation.But here is the hard question:Did Freemasonry actually descend from the Pagan Mysteries — or are we looking at shared symbols, similar ritual structures, and human beings using initiation to explain transformation?We discuss:Theory #2 from the 12 origin theories of Freemasonrythe Pagan Mysteries theoryancient mystery schoolsinitiation, secrecy, silence, and sacred dramasymbolic death and transformationEgypt, Greece, Rome, and the ancient worldthe difference between similarity and proofwhy Masons must define “pagan” carefullywhat this theory explains wellwhere this theory becomes difficult to provewhy the mystery-school question still fascinates Masons todayThe Pagan Mysteries theory is not something we swallow whole.We test it.Similarities are easy.Transmission is hard.If Freemasonry shares themes with ancient mystery systems, that matters. But similarity alone does not prove descent. A Mason has to ask better questions:Are we seeing direct influence?Shared symbolism?Common human religious patterns?Later Masonic imagination?Or a real survival of ancient initiatic wisdom?That is the work.Freemasonry may not have come directly from the Pagan Mysteries, but the theory forces us to confront something important:Masonry is not supposed to be shallow.It uses symbols.It uses ritual.It uses darkness and light.It uses preparation, obligation, instruction, and transformation.So the real question may be bigger than origin.What is initiation supposed to do to a man?Have an origin theory, Masonic question, old document, or source recommendation?Write to me at:masonicmuscle357@gmail.comFollow Masonic Muscle:Instagram: @masonicmuscleTikTok: @masonicmuscle357We give you more light — but no light weights.

Did Freemasonry come from the Medieval Operative Masons?In this episode of Masonic Muscle: The Origin War, we examine Theory #7 from the 12 origin theories of Freemasonry: the claim that modern speculative Freemasonry developed from the operative stone masons of the Middle Ages.This is probably the most widely repeated explanation of Masonic origins.But is it proven?Or have Masons repeated it so many times that it now feels like settled history?This episode asks:Did Freemasonry truly evolve from medieval operative masons — or is the transition from operative craft to speculative fraternity more complicated than we were told?We discuss:the Operative Mason Theorymedieval stone masons and cathedral buildersguilds, lodges, charges, tools, and craft identitythe Regius Manuscript and the Old Chargesthe operative-to-speculative transition theoryaccepted or “non-operative” MasonsElias Ashmole and early speculative evidencethe difference between resemblance and proofwhy this theory is powerfulwhere this theory becomes difficultwhy Masons must stop confusing repetition with evidenceThis theory matters because it is the one many Grand Lodges, lodges, websites, and Masonic books present as the normal explanation:Operative stone masons became speculative Freemasons.Simple.Clean.Comfortable.But history is rarely that clean.If Freemasonry truly came from operative masons, then we need to examine the documents, the lodge records, the Old Charges, the ritual evidence, and the historical gaps.If the theory is true, it should be able to survive serious questions.And if it is incomplete, then Masons need to have the courage to say so.A Mason should not be afraid of uncertainty.He should be afraid of lazy certainty.Have an origin theory, Masonic question, old document, or source recommendation?Write to me at:masonicmuscle357@gmail.comFollow Masonic Muscle:Instagram: @masonicmuscleTikTok: @masonicmuscle357We give you more light — but no light weights.

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode is a condensation of an address by the late RW Bro. Erford W. Poole of Massachusetts, and was furnished to The Masonic Service Association by MW Brother Thomas A. Booth, past grand master of Masons in Massachusetts, and is brought to us by WBro Michael Blum, DRI – 14th ME and PM of Solar Star #14 ME. In any study of the life of Washington, one is amazed at the fact that seldom in any history or biography, other than those purely Masonic, is it recorded that the Father of Our Country was a member of the Craft. In this approach to the 250th birthday celebration, let us pay additional homage to our brother, and father of these United States. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

Who invented the moonwalk? Does it really matter?We get derailed by the history of dance before we can take our first step on the lunar surface for the third installment of our deep dive into the moon landing.We then get sidetracked by a debate over if the moon has days and nights, and some (inevitable) talk about flossing on the moon, but it's not long before we're skipping into tales of moon rocks in Finglas, the little known truth behind Neil Armstrong's most famous quote, and secret holy ceremonies and secret telepathic experiments on the moon - and all on NASA's time.After their high risk landing the Apollo 11 astronauts may have hoped to be free of danger, but we hear how a broken switch, a high ladder step and a quickly shutting door could have caused separate disasters, in the space of just a few minutes.The conversation gets heated over talk of visible wires holding up the astronauts, and we all share in the childlike joy of Darren Conway realizing his new moon toys have a secret power.Send all of your questions, comments & deep dive suggestions to stallit@goloudnow.com

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Carl H. Claudy, and is brought to us by Bro George Koutrokois, Acacia #121, Durham, ME. Few Masonic subjects have resulted in more arguments and controversy than this. Agreement has been difficult, but at long last the Masonic world has had to concur in the thought that the whole truth is not known; that it may, but probably never will, be known; and that as long as men differ as to what is “real” evidence and what is “circumstantial” evidence, and the credibility to be attached to the latter, no complete agreement among authorities is likely. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

We can take the men who come to our door seeking Light, and turn them into lifelong, passionate Masons, and not just members. Here, we find an excellent discussion about just how this is possible. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

Are the Masons really a threat? How is the West supposed to deal with the growing influence of Islam?
