Well all, since I started this thread I suppose I’m satisfied that it has run its course and I’ll be shutting it down now.  As a reminder, any man who posts on this site who claims he is a Mason is required to include the name and location of his lodge in his profile.

The Jay-Z discussion gets ridiculous.  Even if I hadn’t heard the orgignal version of the track played backwards, you merely have to listen to it normally to hear that the messages aren’t there on it.  And…if they are only there in some doctored DJ version released for a club remix…what on earth would be the point.  It isn’t there, it is a hoax, and the lie was used by a preacher to bear false witness.

Also, the clothes….of course nobody claims to be able to read Jay Z’s mind, so we can’t know why he or Rocawear decided to put these shirts out.  We’re all just guessing.

Frankly, I’m not all that interested in watching a bunch of brothers argue.

Just a quick note to make two point:

One: that this thread has been closed as it really has nothing to do with the intent of this Forum and has strayed well away from the original intent of the first poster, which was to nip the question in the bud that someone was a Mason.

Two: that if anyone is representing themselves as a Mason on this Forum their Masonic affiliation must be stated in their bio. If there is an issue with that—i.e., living in a country where Freemasonry is banned—a PM to me would be sufficient, but necessary.

Thank you all for your continued contributions to this Forum.
