MJ-12 is a BOGUS organization

[Phaedra]

Erm, so the point of your post is...um..."don't bother visiting the website of this organization"?

Does this have something to do with ARGs?

[Varin]

We were just discussing this post in chat. We're not sure if this is supposed to be a trailhead leading us somewhere or if you're really reporting some sort of MJ-12 news. Since it looks to be more of the latter, I'm moving this to Various & Sundry. This section is for ARG news and rumors.

Majestic 12, anybody?

Time for tinfoil hats

or a bottle marked "drink me"

The Masons

Gaz, i'm going to head this one off now - a lot of people here use the free masons {being a real life in-this-day-and-age secret society} in ARGs. There are also QUITE a few WOMEN here {like me} who feel they are sexist, there are also non-christains who find them threatening. There are also people who feel that if they are in the 100% okie dokie, why do they still need to be a "secret-society". I know quite a few freemasons, and personal opinions don't make for a hill of beans when dealing with args {or arg wanna-bes}. So just don't bother. If you are offended by the content having to do with free-masons, don't get involved in those situations.

EDIT:
{{for those who need clerification, the word "situations" here directly references the previous setences of "ARGs or Arg Wanna-bes" sorry for the miscommunication - I thought it was self-explanitory what I was talking about}

just my 2 cents worth.My step dad was a GM and he said that the masons arnt a secret society but a society that has secrets.

Archer, My friend's wife got yelled at by about 5 -8 masons all at once for holding a mason book of her husbands for him {i have no idea what it was, and i am sorry but if the book was so secret, and not to be held by her, why the heck did SHE get yelled at and not the man who asked her to?}. I won't give my full personal opinion of the masons - but a secret society or a society with secrets - either way i can't go to a meeting now can i?

Well, the women can't be Masons themselves, but there is a Masonic order known as the Order of the Eastern Star which is for women. Also, the Mason's "secrets" aren't really all that secret. Pretty easy to get them if you do a little digging, but they seem to think it's all hush hush

Masons

There are also women on this forum that are in Masonic organizations or were in Masonic sponsored organizations as kids. I was a Rainbow Girl, heck, I was a state officer (Grand Jr. Executive). The Masons are far from the only secret organization (or organization with secrets) in today's world and many of them are open only to women. For example, I was in a sorority in college and I'm also a member of P.E.O., an organization for women that promotes education for other women (they own a two year college for women, provide enormous support locally through various grants and loans, and have an amazing project to help women from abroad). Am I sexist because I've belong to such organizations? I certainly don't think so and I won't pass judgement on men who chose to belong to an organization only open to men. As for why we keep secrets... it has far more to do with bonding and sisterhood than it does any evil plots or manipulations. I'm sorry, I just find the notion of men's clubs and women's clubs being sexist tiring. Worse, I find the hypocracy of some women who feel that it's great for women to be able to have their own safe haven (or whatever) but are opposed to men for having the same. That, to me, is the very sexism. (I'm not implying that you are a hypocrit Pixiestix, I have no knowledge of your stance on secret women's organization, just pointing out a personal hot button)

In any event, I'm further derailing this topic. Which is about the MJ-12 and the same ol' basic conspiracy theories surrounding the Masons, I think? I'm not one to lock threads, but if we can't keep the discussion somewhat rational or, at least, not too personal, I will go ahead and do just that.
