Stan's Bogus Masonic Web pages
Volume No.3
Happy Holidays to all, and welcome to the latest issue of Stan’s Bogus Masonic Websites. As this is the holiday season, I will start with the “Turkeys” also known as Modern Free & Accepted Masons. Last time we took a look at this organization in general terms, now we will look at their subordinate bodies. I remind the reader that this group was supposed to cease its operations back in the 1950’s. Let us go to the birth- place of the Father of Bogus Masonry --- Chicago, Illinois.
King Solomon Grand Lodge #168 located in Chicago, Illinois

The grand lodge website is rather dull compared to that of one of their subordinate lodges. Jahkin Lodge #381 http://yahkin381.tripod.com is a treasure trove of information on the bogus origins of these so-called masons. Under the “info” section they claim to have come from the “Order of King David Hebrew Grand Lodge” or more specifically Hebrew Lodge #7 & Lodge #5 AF&AM, AASR. These bogus men then claim that they “set out to build a new grand lodge in the state of Illinois” (as if Illinois needs another bogus grand lodge). The history also states that they had “been in contact with England, Washington, Springfield, Ill., New York and Philadelphia”. The rest of the history is too laughable to continue, check it out for yourselves and see how they joined and left 2 grand lodges before finding a home with Modern Free. It would be wonderful to say that the madness ended with just the history, but then one goes and checks out the members! According to their main page they are known as the “Applied Science Brothers” (ooh aah) the definition of which is “Applied Science is the search
for the true understanding of the Craft and taking it back to it's biblical and historical origins. It is then taking the principles that are taught to you and utilizing them in your everyday life. It teaches you not to be a parrot Mason, but to investigate what is told to you.” This sounds really good, too bad the Senior Warden for this group has not learned those principles. This individual has his own personal website http://www.angelfire.com/il3/solomon753/index.html Observe how Solomon753 has learned to subdue his passions and improve himself in masonry. His web page speaks of the level maturity he has attained and the types of conduct and moral character that is tolerated by these BOGUS organizations. And there are those among in Prince Hall who want to recognize these wanna-bees. If they only knew what I know!
Does anyone in Georgia know this Modern Free member? http://pages.prodigy.net/msjenkins/md1.htm
Next, let’s travel to sunny Florida. Revelation Lodge #547 which falls under the International Modern Free & Accepted Masons & Stars. The main page has a very nice graphic of a man with a dove flying out of his chest http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/revelation547/ Upon clicking that image we learn the true nature of International Masons by the info freely provided for every visitor. I quote the following from the website: “We strive to uphold the ideals and morals of our organization set forth by our Supreme President and CEO, the Ill. George Matthews, 33*. It is our solemn duty to grow and strengthen our Lodge with the acceptance of duly qualified candidates with whom the whole shall be greater than the sum of its parts. Much greater than duty is our responsibility to wield such power and influence using the square and compass as our guide. This is the mission to which the Brothers of Revelation Masonic Lodge #547 are committed." Revelation Masonic Lodge #547 was formed by a group of young men who wanted to be in control of their own destiny.”
It is their duty to grow and strengthen their lodge (recruit members?)
It is their duty to wield such POWER and INFLUENCE using the square and compass as their guide. You be the judges of what the above statement means. The site has a curious history of freemasonry, which includes the Grimshaw version of the Prince Hall story and they have the nerve to mix in the history of International as well. Thus is the pattern of these groups, always intermingling their origins with regular freemasonry to deceive its members and the unsuspecting and ignorant public. Even more appalling is the pictures of these yahoos, making the square sign with their hands. To our detriment it looks more like they are making their hands look like guns. http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/revelation547/photo/carwash.jpg
Unfortunately, these vultures have corrupted a group of young women and have formed the Zibibi Chapter #s (yes that is correct numbers meaning plural) 553 & 554 http://www1.fccj.org/zibibi/1st.htm But, I guess I should expect nothing less than this coming from their state leader who serves dually as Grand Master and as Worshipful Master of a subordinate lodge. Hmmm, I wonder to whom does the lodge complain to if the Worshipful Master commits an unmasonic act? King Lyons & Williams Lodge #165

What issue would be complete without including information on the Masonic Extraterrestrial 33/720 the infamous Dr..York http://www.factology.com/savior.htm The owners of this site refer to him as their “Savior”. Similar to this site http://www.gsu.edu/~phpgls/mzy.htm which was featured in the 2nd edition it shows the “Many Faces of Dr. York” as well as pictures of some of his disciples and a few of his teachings.
Thanks again to those who have taken the time to sign the quest book and/or send personal emails commenting on the content of the site. Please have a safe and enjoyable holiday season.
Sincerely & Fraternally,
Brother Emanuel J. Stanley, MPS
