How much do you want to bet?

The gulf between Speculation and Fact, the distance between 'What If' and 'What Is', is long and fraught with opportunities for Misdirection, as has been demonstrated quite well on the pages of this thread.

The ineffectiveness of yer strategy in spending "more time in the field and less time in the books", or more Speculation and less Facts, is self evident by the lack of any culmination or closure to yer 40+ year KGC Odyssey. Let's call a Spade a Spade, shall we?

However, yer success in attempting to blur the line between the two (Speculation vs. Fact), is also quite evident by the positive response yer continued equivocations elicit from a deluded few.

So here we are.

Thankfully, my dance card is full.

Have a Good 'un.

To "Success" gentlemen, and thanks for driving the point home.

Honest Samuel, it's apparently you know more about this subject than I do, since you would want to bet! My hats off to you! LOL

 

[Honest Samuel]

I am from the great state of Connecticut and only know about KGC is what you and Rebel teach me here.

Indeed, on this and several other threads.

 

[Honest Samuel]

Yer da "expert", then...? Written a book...? Wanna read it!

I want to read it too, for free.

 

[Honest Samuel]

Or, "Odd-Fellows"...

Very little of my research is from books, most of it is from the field. This is because I'm looking for their treasure and you aren't going to find much information in books for being able to read the signs or how the layout works. Pretty much it's trial and error out in the field and laying awake until all hours of the night thinking about that carving or rock you found in the field that day. But that being said, I can't say that all were masons, but I have learned names of those involved in layouts I've worked, and using the census and visiting all of the cemeteries in the area, they were shown to be masons. I wouldn't say the KGC is a subset of the masons. In other words, you aren't going to ask a mason the secrets to the KGC and they will know. I believe they recruited masons into the KGC because they knew they could trust their masonic brothers. So I don't think the KGC was necessarily associated with the masons nor the other way around, but I think those in the KGC were masons...at least those involved in the layouts I've worked were.

 

[William the Conqueror]

You're so right Signman ! That's exactly how I got started. I saw the carving, then I found the rocks, and the Egypt brick now I'm am just hooked on all these treasures! Just have to figure if they are true! I believe 100 percent that if you are in the KGC,you were a Freemason! The oath of secrecy!

 

[Rebel - KGC]

Are you one of them? I am.

Who...?

Growing up in a small Western Slope ranching community in Colorado there was a Masonic Hall there in the small town. Both my Grandfather and Father were members of that Masonic Hall to the day they died I was never told what went on in that hall. I fully believe the only way these discoveries will be made is out there in the field doing the work and interviewing the people of the areas recording what is discovered.

Who...?

Who is on first base. What is on second?

Just answer the question; Freemason...? Big DEAL!

 

[Honest Samuel]

No, but, I would like to be one. Who is on Third?
