I dont think it would be too far fetched to say that Jay-Z MAY be a Mason. All thats required is an interest in joining and a belief in God (if you can't profess a belief in God - you can't be a Mason). So whats to stop him from simply driving up to his local lodge (there's one in every city) and saying "I want to join"? What I don't understand is this: why is it a big deal?
Everybody thats reading this probably knows at least one Mason (maybe even in your own family - just ask around). A lot of Masons won't identify themselves as such UNLESS you ask. And because all Masons are bound by an oath of honesty (if they are TRUE Masons & not just a guy that goes to lodge meetings but doesn't live the values of the fraternity) they are bound by that oath & must answer truthfully.
Not all Masons wear a ring & not everybody thats wearing a Masonic ring is a Mason. Anybody can go on e-bay and buy a Masonic ring (for $12). But it's not the ring that makes a Mason - it's the way you live your life.

Spam /spæm/
–noun 1. a disruptive, esp. commercial message posted on a computer network or sent as e-mail.
There is nothing commercial about my message.
I made a valid and legitimate point in response to the original posting & these two trolls came from out of nowhere and started bashing without provocation - but your OK with that?
PS - I don't feel the need to prove anything. There are plenty of people on this site making outrageous claims & I don't see the moderators telling them to "kindly prove it". So whats with the double standard?
Allow me to do the enlightening, here. On KMC, we treat useless posts, such as 'Bump!' or 'Cricket-cricket' as spam; just as spam does not contribute anything to the conversation, neither do those. So, in the future, avoid it.
I asked the posters that bashed you to stop. However, your retaliation was much more extreme and so you too were bashing. The warning stands.
Fine then, don't prove it. Nobody else in the Conspiracy forum proves much, I promise. I simply asked in an effort to continue the conversation away from my intervention.
I apologise for saying this is an "old bullshit website", your site is great. I also apologise for those comments I made in response to their attacks. I didn't need to fan the flames - I should have just ignored them and moved onto the next thread instead of letting my ego get the best of me.
