Coming from Australia where the death penalty was abolished 40 years ago. I believe that there is not enough power to the judiciary. The most important thing and several have touched on this already is that the best way to deal with sadistic vermin is to put them somewhere and not recognise them ever again. Recently the 3 people called "The Bali Bombers" were executed in Indonesia after being involved in bombings in Bali in 2002. The thing that gets me is that every time the media referred to the they referenced their names almost every time where the victims were only numbered including 88 australians. on the other side in 1996 a horrendous mass murder occured in Port Arthur, Tasmaniaon that day 36 people were killed and the perpetrator was sentenced to serve the term of his natural life in jail never to be released. Now the media doesn' t mention him and even though this does not change the pain and suffereing of the victims families it does not give him any acknowledgment. An eye for an eye is not mans right, but the punishment should reflect the crime. Execution should not have to answer the cruel and unusual... if he killed his victims by gunshot let that be his method to die. I don't agree with it and thank God that we don't have it here ]]> Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:43:45 +0000 http://forum.mastermason.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6008&PID=66301#66301 Main Discussion Board : Anyone out there in the UK? http://forum.mastermason.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6059&PID=66300#66300 Author: Rolf1960

Just doing some early morning reading and found this:
http://www.westernsupremecouncil.org/History_of_the_Western_Maso.php
 
Notice it mentions Dorsey F. Seville in 1897 starting his own USC AASR...but:
 
http://www.thephylaxis.org/bogus/johnjones.php
 
The Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia suspended Dorsey F. Seville on August 6, 1896, because of charges preferred under the date of June 25, 1896. He was associated with John G. Jones, particularly in the latter’s of the bogus Scottish rite body of the South and West.
 
Why would any masonic order not take notice/do research before allowing others to join or merge? I've had a so-called member of this WSC state that Mr. Seville was "healed" by their org. How can one heal/sanction the actions of a known suspended brother? Weird to say the least. Ermm

Message sent to Grand Orient of France & GOUSA

Dear Sir's, Regardless of the names used I have followed your group(s) online for some time. Over the years I have been curious at to who the Grand Master was and who runs the organization. That being past I decided to research on the links to learn more. In clicking on your Grand Orient of France; San Francisco Link I saw a beautiful picture that I recognize as the Library and garage entrance to the Grand Lodge of California. Does the San Francisco Chapter of Grand Orient meet at the California Grand Lodge Building and are they using this picture with permission from the Grand Lodge of Califonia? I am very curious. Thank you in advance for any clarificaton you can give me. Sincerely, Manny Blanco,PM Moreno Valley MAsonic Lodge # 804 Moreno VAlley,California Grand Lodge of California masontruth@aol.com

Dear Sir's, Regardless of the names used I have followed your group(s) onine for some time. Over the years I have been curious at to who the Grand Master was and who won the organization. That being past I decided to research on the links to learn more. In clicking on your Grand Orient of France; San Francisco Link I saw a beautiful picture that I recognize as the Library and garage entrance to the Grand Lodge of California.

Sincerely, Manny Blanco,PM Moreno Valley MAsonic Lodge # 804 Moreno VAlley,California Grand Lodge of California Sincerely, Manny Blanco, masontruth@aol.com  GOOF link is http://www.godf-amerique.org/san_francisco.htm  I can fully see why Grand Orient of the USA and the Grand Oriend of France-North America have no addresses on their Lodge sites. If they meet at the Grand Lodge of CA it would not be impossible and we are allowed to rent space out to other Masonic non Recognized Bodies... I am just curious. Anyone that coan offer some assistance let me know. Thanks... S & F, Manny Blanco, PM masontruth@aol.com

If one is a Secret Master (SR) , they should be familiar with it (olive tree).

Iam curious to know if anyone out there has had the privilege ofdiscovering the light in this particular mystery (the mystery of theOlive). I found it to be profound, containing the very essence of thespeculative science we find ourselves orbiting. When the revelation atthe core of the mystery made itself available to me, I found myselfrethinking everything, changed. I have never heard the mysteryvocalized, a true diamond in the rough...foreign, rare, profound.

I feel as though it deserves its own degree, as it truly shed light onthe purpose for our quest. I dare not unveil the mystery all at oncefor I found the true source of light to be in the discovery. I will sayhowever, that it does not relate to the sprig of acacia in thetraditional sense nor does it draw from Oliver (though I know he wouldfind this mystery particularly interesting considering his stance).

If this is a new topic for you, I urge you to seek out the mystery. Itwill be worth the investigation. If you have already discovered thisprecious stone, please share your light.
