Don't know why you had to do this in secret since the hall is open for filming, see attached:
Freemasons' Hall For Hire The building is fully open to the public.

It would appear, to me, that you are trying to make a big deal about nothing, just like every other anti-mason, conspiracy fan who posts to this newsgroup.

They continually state that to be a freemason you must believe in a supreme being, but no where is there any mention of God, Christ or any other saint.
And you don't know why that is?
Sorry Sir, you have not grasped Freemasonry and what it is about. All you have done is make a fool of yourself by NOT grasping the concepts of the Craft.
0/10 for trying to bring Freemasonry into disrepute.
Question Number ONE for today's Homework
Why is God not mentioned
Question Number TWO
What is meant 'When the Sun is at its Meridian'?
Question THREE
State which Countries in the World which practice Freemasonry
(Mind your answers to Questions TWO and THREE because they are linked and could cause you to trip up again)
Might I respectfully suggest that you stop your silly game of knocking Freemasonry and take up knitting squares for the homeless? A MUCH more worthwhile and useful past time
Fraternally Yours

Why do some Trolls and KoOks choose not to archive their rants? For posterity I have chosen to cut and paste this post into my own so it won't disappear in a week.
>"Freemasons' Hall in London is the headquarters of the United Grand
Lodge of England and a meeting place for the Masonic Lodges in the London area. It is in Great Queen Street between Holborn and Covent Garden and has been a Masonic meeting place since 1775."
freemasons are all about and the controversy surrounding them. I secretly obtained this video via deception. I would like to apologies for the pore quality and the lengthy scenes of no interest also the bad audio. Please understand that my activities had to be concealed and at times near impossible to carry on filming without being discovered.
Again, you did not have to conceal your activities. You were being deceptive for no reason. You should apologies for your pore spelling and creepy behaviour.
>The feeling of the lodge is an extremely earry place to be. References
in the masonry are extremely sadistic and are in many a reference to "a supreme being", but no mentioned or depiction of Christ or any other heavenly being (namely the God) is present. Having said that however, there was nothing that resembled Satan.
You were not at any time in a Lodge. You were in the Hall where Lodges meet and there is a difference. Why would there be any mention of Christ or Mohammed in the hall? There is no mention of Christ at a Boy Scouts meeting either but there are references to a nonspecific Deity. This is because we don't exclude brethren based on their particular religion.
>Security is very tight with every point covered by advanced video
surveillance. Throughout I was in the company of a mason (not in the knowledge of what I was doing. Never the less there were others standing behind corners observing and trying not to be noticed but did not seem worried that I new they were there, sometimes revealing themselves only to return behind the scenes again.
Can you blame them for wanting to protect themselves from the questionable activities of people with ulterior motives lurking around the hall? It's not like they had a big net waiting for you. The only thin "earry" about this film is you lurking around making rustling noises under your trenchcoat.
>There were others there notably two females whom I managed to get in
shot. Also others whom I did not. It seems as if they were getting ready for some kind of a production.
>I hope that this video can contribute in someway to the end of the
freemasons and their activities and that they are not in any way oblivious to penetration
So you admit that you would like to see the end of Freemasons and our activities. I think you are a bit mixed up and should get some help. You have accomplished little but providing yet more evidence that the detractors of Freemasonry are a bunch of fruitcakes.

Sorry, but as a Masonic organization we do no worshiping. We each have our own selected system of belief, whether it be Christianity in some form, Judiasm, Hinduism or some other system, and we do our worshiping as prescribed by our system of belief.
As men of faith we all understand that an important undertaking should not be started without seeking the aid of Deity, and so we make a generic prayer to the Supreme Creator using a symbolic title of Supreme Architect or Great Architect. Masons understand this is only a symbol and would privately replace it with the name they normally use. So, a Christian would make his prayer to Jesus Christ, a Jew would make his to God (guessing, I'm not Jewish), and so on.
Most Masons would accept the symbolism of the Eye of Providence as representing the Supreme Creator, but it is again only a symbol used. Whatever symbolism or name defined by each Mason's system of belief would be considered by them the true symbol or name.
> The symbol they have chosen to represent their god is the > All Seeing Eye, which the Egyptians used to represent their pagan god, > Osiris. In short they are pagans.
One would expect that the symbol of an organization's god would be present in every single one of their gathering places, right? One would find the cross adorning every Christian Church, the Star of David visible in every Jewish Synagogue, but the Eye of Providence cannot be found in every single Masonic Lodge. The logical explanation is that it really isn't a symbol of some masonic god.
For me, the symbol reminds me of the omnipresence of Deity, but it is the Deity described by my system of belief. Masonry does not describe Deity because it is not a religion; it's a fraternity.

You only need to do a quick google search to find out there are a lot of nutcases out there who have replaced the traditional "great jewish conspiracy" with "the great Freemason conspiracy".
Generally, people who believe all aspects of their lives are affected by some great evil conspiracy are paranoiacs with serious mental health issues. They use the belief in a massive conspiracy to weave their individual paranoid observations together.

Have you ever found one who could actually state that he had been done any harm by Freemasonry and give facts, dates and figures?
No, neither have I!
