Was Robert Boutflour a Freemason? (Calling campion)

[Lugg]

I don't want to turn this into some form of educational thread on freemasonry but your right to a point susan. In Scotland you would need to ask a memebr yourself to join and If you passed the board of enquiry you would then go before a ballot, you would need 3 blacks balls to not go on any further. The womans equivolent order is  The Order of the Eastern Star.
We would take your standing in the community into account but not your bank balance.

I would not say so for sure. But I shouldn't think you have many homeless people in the Masons? Possibly because they are not counted as having any standing in society?

[gordo30]

I don't understand your question sry!! we have or because their masons we have not, is that what your trying to say?

When I say standing I refer to whether or not they have criminal convictions or their general behavior within the community. Once again not their bank balance.

Hi Gordo30  Thought it was one black ball maybe I have heard the term black balled and thought it was one.  I really do not discuss Freemasonry with my other half as it is something he does not wish to discuss.  The only thing he has said they do alot of good work helping each other and their family and help the less fortunate.

[gordo30]

I suppose Susan you could single handedly answer the crux of this thread on your own. Have you or your family ever directly been given any aid or help in anyway over the years or seen the same given to others that you would consider to be wholely injust simply because your husband is a mason?

[susan]

I can answer that question without hesitation and with total honesty no I have not.

Hi Guys  just to put Patti's mind at rest myself and Gordo30 are not married Ha Ha

Hi Patti  just had a thought the Lodge you are referring to is a Lodge called the Oddfellows an organisation in Yorkshire a poorer version of the Masons Maybe you could get in there.

[Patti]

To be honest Susan I did not think a goat would be a suitable choice for a husband a stag would be more appropriate....In fact mine is a six pack....lol

I don't think they would let me in with my pair of melons....hahahaha 

[lookout]

My family are full of Masons.

[susan]

Hi lookout

wonder if Mason Doyle is a Mason

[susan]

Patti  those oddfellows would welcome you with open arms

As much as I enjoy a bit of banter now and then my question still has not been answered. There is a lot of speculation. But no absolute proof other than that which vidvic has said. If there is no proof that RWB was a mason then we must conclude that he was not.
My motive for asking this question is not meant to reflect upon Freemasons in general and I apologise if I have caused offense in any way to other Masons. But if my question cannot be answered in the affirmative then I cannot ask my second question which is equally as important.
You see we are used to accept certain things as fact in this case just on the word of one person. I think we should begin to ask whether those things which we affirm are actually true?

Hi lookout

Oh hi Susan,just been reading the paper.Who's Mason Doyle.?
