That statement/question is offensive to me. You're kids are grown they can do as they please. I still have a 10 year old to deal with. You need to let people raise their own the way they see fit. If I decide to have my kid wear a cross necklace then that's my prerogative. You don't like it so what. I was also trying to be respectful. I was discussing it until you came back with this.
Sometimes I can be stubborn but I don't foster what I believe or not on anyone else. Not my place to.
What does it really matter. I don't particularly care to see people let their kids get piercings in places they shouldn't but not my place to say anything. No difference in either one.
As I quoted from the wiki The Grand Lodge has followed the Swedish Rite since 1818, which requires its members to adhere to Christianity.
Nothing in that statement says you have to be a christian. Only that you espouse to live a christian lifestyle. IE set a good example of the Lodge by doing right and always trying to improve yourself.
To my knowledge there is no particular cross used in Freemasonry. The reason being is you do not have to be christian to be a member just believe in a God. Any God.
In the latest breaking updates on the U.S. House of Representatives investigation into the DOJ-ATF Gun Smuggling Scandal, also known as 'Project Gunwalker' or 'Operation Fast and Furious,' committee chair Darrell Issa, R-California, has charged the Obama Administration with intimidating witnesses. Of the six scheduled witnesses who testified before the Issa committee today, at least two of them received letters from the ATF warning them to limit their testimony.
Issa further asserted that the scandal goes all the way to the top of the Department of Justice at the very least, and that Attorney-General Eric Holder knew about the illegal scheme or else he is so incompetent as to be ignorant about what goes on in his own department.
In another development, one of the two who originally broke the story of the scandal, Mike Vanderboegh, reports from Washington that the FBI is in a state of panic following the disclosure yesterday that the Bureau allowed the sale of 360 firearms to convicted felons, who then took the guns to Mexico where they wound up in the hands of drug cartels.
Said Vanderboegh,
So, what cabal of mid-levels will conspire to throw Mueller and Company in the Potomac and try to salvage the reputation of their "beloved Bureau" by turning on the White House?
The possibility certainly exists.
And there just so happens to be a bunch of nice young men (mostly) down at the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee who would be happy to help them out.
Breaking update: The committee chaired by Issa disclosed today that it possesses emails showing that the Phoenix field division of the ATF informed the NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL about the activities associated with Operation Fast and Furious, according to correspondent David Codrea. The disclosure is not an insignificant factor in this scandal, given that the NSC is made up of the most powerful people in the country, and some of the most powerful in the world:
The President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and Secretary of State are considered to be statutory attendees of NSC meetings, but they are also regularly joined by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Director of National Intelligence, the National Security Advisor, and other executive officials. The NSC conducts its meetings in the White House Situation Room, and the National Security Advisor’s presence in the West Wing provides the President with direct access to research, briefings, and intelligence related to all aspects of national security. During times of crisis, the National Security Advisor is also responsible for operating out of the Situation Room in order to provide the President and other members of the NSC with regular updates pertaining to the situation at hand.
As reporter Mike Vanderboegh stated, this circumstantial evidence shows that officials in the highest levels of government had information concerning the entire operation.
Oops.
What will we have next? Who is the next sacrifice for the bus wheels?
Which would make him no better than the chit for brains that did this mess. Extreme leftie who want's to have people that have different views than him wiped out.
