Is Churchill a cu*t?

I always thought freemasonry was when you get a mate to do your bricklaying for nothing...

They 'allegedly' shag goats, I am more inclined to say it is a bestiality club.

No, not that bit!

This bit:

Now my pocket Oxford Dictionary says:

Waddya you think? Is Freemasonry a cult?

Or just a fraternity dedicated to the Brotherhood of Man.

Poll to follow...

You've answered the question.

cult n. 1 religious system, sect, etc., esp. ritualistic. 2 a devotion to a person or thing (cult of aestheticism). b fashion. c (attrib.) fashionable (cult film). [Latin: related to *cultivate]

sect n. 1 group sharing (usu. unorthodox) religious, political, or philosophical doctrines. 2 (esp. exclusive) religious denomination. [Latin sequor follow]

As Freemasonry is not a religion how can it be a cult?

If you wish to see what Freemasonry does then have a look at the following:-

As a little note, all monies raised have been donated by Freemasons and their supporters.

We don't solicit donations from the general public. Unlike the round-table/rotary etc.

Wow - 550,000 under "Grand Master’s 40th Anniversary Grants"

That must have been quite some party

Maybe curchill, but you have an unhealthy obsession with goats. Dress up and flash flesh to other men who are told to flash flesh to other men.

Disturbing.
