Re: [TruthTalk] The Masonic Washington Bible

[Slade Henson]

I went to a Masonic Lodge once to visit a pastor friend of ours. He led a Charismatic church that rented from a Masonic Lodge. Thought it strange. The Bible they [the Masons] had proudly displayed was an old KJV. Your information is interesting. Thank you for your insights.   And yes, it apparently was a last minute change. Go to www.google.com and look up "George Bush Masonic" and you'll find the same information I did.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Clifton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 04 April, 2003 18:52 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The Masonic Washington Bible Must have been a last minute change.  I remember seeing a small group of masons who were almost estatic that the masonic Bible would be used.  I am not certain just what is inside the covers, but according to the information that I have available, ( quote:"The freemasonry ritual, in the lower degrees, is concerned with the recovery of a lost word, presumed to be the name of God.  It was supposedly lost through the murder of the architect, Hiram Abiff, during the building of Soloman's temple.  This quest is completed duing the ritual of the royal arch degree.  It is here the secret name of the diety of mystery is revealed.  That name is Jahbulon.  "Jah" is the short form of the Hebrew name of God, "Yahweh or Jehovah".  "Bul is a rendering of the name Ba'al, and "On" is used in the Babylonian mysteries to call upon the Diety "Osiris".), it doesn't sound like any KJV that I have ever read.  In fact, this information says that they consider the Holy  Bible to be no better or worse than any other holy book.  (Harvard House Publishers, Eugene, Oregon, isbn1-56507-566-8) ----- Original Message ----- From: Slade Henson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 2:46 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The Masonic Washington Bible I hate to break it to you, but it appears that this is incorrect. Before the inauguration, he planned to use the nine-pound "so-called "Washington Bible," but it appears his hand was on a smaller Bible that was reportedly the Bush family Bible. Apparently Laura wanted something lighter.   However, he WAS facing the phallic Washington Monument, though. Does that count?     By the way, a Masonic Bible is a standard KJV.   -- slade ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Clifton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 04 April, 2003 12:45 Subject: RE: [TruthTalk]   Izzy: G.W. was sworn in on a Masonic Bible, not the one that you read. .  You have a computer.  You can choose to use it, or you can  choose to live in your own little world where people are just what they  seem to be.  It won't make much difference either way.  Our opinion is not that important.   Terry
