'The cm u' - What does this mean?

[the_wildthing]

Jose Rizal was a mason.

Masons were (or maybe until now, don't know) excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church.

Finally, it reminds one to be silent, keeping confidences and allowing one's actions to speak, rather than words.

no further comment.

Maybe they are allowed to reveal only that much (being a Mason), which explains the stickers.

Actually, there are tons of Masonic 'merchandise' available on the Internet, with logos and all, ranging from keychains to shaving kits to t-shirts and laptop bags. Question is, are these products really sanctioned by the Freemasons, given that they tend to commercialize an organization which prides itself in its secrecy?

[Karding]

yup, they are sold everywhere. But whats the point of having those merchandise if you are not one of them? Worst, what if you are given a challenge while wearing the merchandise and you dont pass? Isnt that a shame?

We all know that Free Masons do exists. So, the secrecy of its existence is out of the question. The secrecy that they are referring to is found when you become one.

[wildthing]

karding is right...masonry is not the secret...the secret would be IN the mansory...

interesting...I didn't know it was that deep...I probably would have joined them back in my college days sa UPLB, kung alam ko lang na ganun kalalim ang existence nila considering I have had lots of friends na DeMolay - I never asked them kasi, so they didn't tell.

OT: Frankdreb...exLB ka pala?...what year ka nandun?

I never asked them kasi, so they didn't tell.

They probably wouldn't tell even if you did ask -- after all, they are bound by oath not to divulge the secrets to anyone, except to a brother Mason.

sir wildthing, nagaral ka ba sa sacred heart? may nakabatch ka ba na DeMolay?

[mazdamazda]

Secrets? Just a few hours of internet surfing will reveal those *secrets*.

[BlueBimmer]

maybe some Freemasons could not resist posting those secrets on the WWW

[cynganda]

wow!....i didn't know there was such that exists...... sensiya na po, couldn't help but give a piece of my mind...... was surprised to learn about this......

[boybi]

Tsaka bawal daw mag-recruit ang mga Freemason; you have to approach one if you want to join the organization, is that correct?

Which probably explains another sticker I saw: "2b1ask1"

hmmm, i was once asked by someone to join the masons. he even cited the benefits of being one.

Nope brother. Yung prospect ko lang dati. Sorority-equivalent ng DeMolay member siya. Rainbow something ang name.

Anyway, kung pagkaka-kwartahan yan, sasali ako sa Masons.
