Army Colonel and Retired Police Officer Talks About Freemasonry
Robert Wood is an individual whose life journey has been marked by a deep commitment to public service and personal growth. Raised in Killeen, Texas, he graduated from Killeen High School with a sense of duty and a desire to make a positive impact on his community and country.
Upon completing high school, Robert Wood made a significant decision by joining the Army National Guard. This choice reflected his patriotism and a strong desire to serve his country, setting the stage for a career characterized by discipline and dedication. While in the Army National Guard, Robert pursued higher education at Kansas State University. His time at the university allowed him to broaden his horizons, gain valuable knowledge, and develop important life skills.
Following his college education, Robert Wood embarked on a career in law enforcement, becoming a police officer. This career path aligned with his commitment to public safety and the well-being of his community. He worked tirelessly to uphold the law and ensure the safety of those he served.
After years of dedicated service in law enforcement, Robert retired from his role as a police officer. However, his passion for service did not wane. He made the remarkable decision to rejoin the active duty Army, showcasing his unwavering commitment to his country and his willingness to continue contributing to its defense.
Robert's dedication to personal development and his pursuit of knowledge led him to become a Freemason. As an Entered Apprentice (for over a year), he embarked on a journey within this ancient fraternal organization, delving into its traditions, principles, and rituals. Robert found a unique way to share his insights and wisdom by delivering certain lectures within the Freemason community, thereby contributing to the education and enlightenment of his fellow Masons.
In summary, Robert Wood's life story is one of a dedicated public servant who transitioned from the Army National Guard to higher education, law enforcement, and later, back to active duty military service. His commitment to his community and country, as well as his thirst for knowledge and personal growth, are evident throughout his journey. His involvement in the Freemason exemplifies his dedication to self-improvement and the betterment of those around him.

What if the Templar Knights Were Not Executed [EXPOSED in 5 minutes]
What if the Templar Knights Were Not Executed
Imagine this!!! What if Jacques de Molay and the Templar Knights were not murdered?Here is an insight of what COULD have happened.Take a listen to this theory.
In the year 1307, a pivotal moment in history unfolded when King Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V decided to spare the Templar Knights from persecution and execution.
Little did they know that this decision would shape the course of the world for centuries to come.
As the sun set on that fateful day, and Jacques de Molay left the funeral of Catherine of Courtney, the Templar Knights continued their mission.
They continued, undisturbed, guarding the Holy Land and preserving ancient knowledge.
Their influence extended far beyond their superior military prowess, as their expertise in finance, trade, and architecture made them indispensable to monarchs and leaders across Europe.
The Templar Knights, with their vast financial acumen, played a pivotal role in reshaping the political landscape of Europe and beyond.
As they continued to accumulate wealth, their influence extended beyond the confines of their own order.
They became the world's most formidable creditors, and their ability to force the repayment of debts from several kings and rulers shifted the power dynamics in many countries.
In the decades that followed, the Templars expanded their influence, becoming trusted advisors to kings and popes alike.
In the early 14th century, as the world began to feel the financial strain of wars and conflicts, many monarchs found themselves indebted to the Templars.
Kings who had once held absolute power now had to contend with the Templar Order's influence.
To secure their thrones and maintain their sovereignty, these monarchs were compelled to enter into agreements with the Templars, ceding some of their authority in exchange for financial support and protection.
Would that have been a positive or a negative?
We would hope, that their vast wealth was used to fund great works of art, science, and education.
The Templar Order established universities and libraries, fostering a renaissance of learning that would rival the famous Italian Renaissance of the 14th and 15th centuries.
As the years passed, the Templars championed religious tolerance and interfaith dialogue, helping to bridge the gap between Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
Their commitment to diplomacy rather than conquest allowed for the peaceful coexistence of these faiths in the Holy Land, setting a precedent for religious harmony that would be emulated around the world.
During the Age of Exploration, Templar explorers embarked on voyages of discovery.
They charted new lands, exchanged knowledge with indigenous peoples, and promoted cultural exchanges.
They may have landed, in what we know as the United States, first.
What would that have looked like now?
This era of exploration and cooperation between civilizations would have ushered in a new age of global understanding.
The Enlightenment, which typically began in the 17th century, was accelerated by the Templar's emphasis on knowledge and reason.
This intellectual movement led to rapid advancements in science, technology, and governance.
The Templars played a pivotal role in promoting democratic ideals and the separation of church and state.
By the 20th century, the world was a vastly different place.
Wars were rare, and conflicts were resolved through diplomacy and dialogue.
Poverty and disease were nearly eradicated, thanks to the Templar's philanthropic efforts and commitment to social justice.
Their lack of a political agenda was non-existent.
In this alternate reality, the Templar Order still existed in the 21st century.
By the 21st century, the global balance of power had shifted dramatically.
Monarchs were no longer the absolute rulers they had once been, and democratic governance was the norm.
The Templars, while still guardians of financial stability, had transitioned into a global council of wise advisors, fostering cooperation among nations and ensuring that the lessons of history were not forgotten.
They had evolved into a global organization dedicated to preserving peace, fostering education, and advancing human rights.
From a financial standpoint, would the be the FED that we know today?
Our hopes in this scenario.
That their symbol, the cross within the shield, became a universal emblem of hope and unity.
Today, the world stands as a testament to what could have been if King Philip and Pope Clement had chosen a different path in 1307.
It is a world where the Templars, once persecuted, became the champions of progress and harmony, guiding humanity toward a brighter future.
The legacy of their compassion, wisdom, and dedication to the betterment of humanity continues to inspire generations, reminding us of the potential for greatness that lies within us all.
Think about this though, had the Templar Knights not been executed, would Freemasonry be what it is today?
Give us your thoughts of what you think would have happened had the Knights not been executed and went into hiding.

George Washington was NOT A FREEMASON (Exposed in 6 minutes)
George Washington Was Never a Freemason: A Nation Unchained
Imagine this.
What if George Washington was never a Freemason?
Here is what could have been.
Imagine this.
In the year 1773, George Washington, a prominent figure in the American colonies and a leader of the burgeoning rebellion against British rule, faced a pivotal decision.
He stood at a crossroads, one that would forever alter the course of American history.
George Washington, the man who would later become the first President of the United States, had been invited to join the ranks of the Freemasons.
However, he declined the invitation.
Little did he know that this seemingly inconsequential decision would lead to a series of events that would reshape the destiny of a nation.
Chapter 1: The Unbroken Chain
As the American colonies became increasingly discontent with British rule, secret societies like the Freemasons played a significant role in the formation of revolutionary ideas.
Washington's decision not to become a Freemason was a deviation from the norm among the colonial elite.
This refusal marked the beginning of a divergence in his destiny from that of many of his contemporaries.
Without the protective network and influence of the Freemasons, Washington found himself in a more vulnerable position.
His leadership in the Continental Army and later in the Continental Congress made him a prime target for British intelligence, who saw him as a threat to their rule.
As the Revolutionary War intensified, several assassination attempts were made on his life, with the British hoping to decapitate the rebellion by eliminating its charismatic leader.
Chapter 2: The Battle for Independence
Despite the dangers, George Washington's unwavering dedication to the cause of American independence persisted.
He continued to lead the Continental Army, albeit with a heightened sense of caution.
The absence of Freemason connections forced him to rely even more on his strategic brilliance and the loyalty of his troops.
In the summer of 1776, the Continental Congress debated the drafting of a Declaration of Independence.
In this alternative history, Washington's absence from the Masonic fraternity led to a different dynamic within the Congress.
The Masons, who had played a significant role in promoting Enlightenment ideas and revolutionary fervor, lacked a central figure to rally around.
Consequently, the drafting of the Declaration of Independence was delayed, with many of its most fervent proponents struggling to gain consensus.
Months passed, and the British, aware of the internal strife among the American colonies, seized the opportunity to crush the rebellion.
Without a unified declaration of independence, the colonies remained divided, and the British forces gained ground.
Chapter 3: The Dark Days
As the war raged on, George Washington continued to fend off assassination attempts.
His extraordinary leadership skills kept the Continental Army from crumbling.
Still, without the cohesive support of the Masonic brotherhood, the war effort became increasingly desperate.
By 1778, the British occupied Philadelphia, the former capital of the United States, and inflicted a crushing defeat on the Continental Army at the Battle of Monmouth.
Despair swept across the American colonies as the dream of independence seemed to fade away.
The absence of the Masonic influence had left the American revolutionary spirit fragmented and uncoordinated.
Chapter 4: The Assassination
In the darkest days of the American Revolution, George Washington's enemies within the colonies saw an opportunity.
A group of Loyalists, emboldened by the disarray within the American ranks, plotted to assassinate the rebel leader.
They believed that with Washington out of the picture, the American resistance would crumble.
In the spring of 1779, the Loyalist conspirators executed their plan.
Washington, while traveling through a remote area of New Jersey, was ambushed by a group of armed men.
Despite his legendary leadership on the battlefield, he couldn't escape the surprise attack.
The first President of the United States fell to a hail of gunfire on a dusty road, forever altering the course of history.
Chapter 5: A Fragmented Nation
The assassination of George Washington sent shockwaves throughout the colonies.
The American resistance crumbled without his leadership.
The dreams of independence faded as the British tightened their grip on the rebellious colonies.
The war continued to drag on, but without a central figure to rally behind, the American cause seemed doomed.
In the years that followed, the Masonic movement in the United States never reached the heights it did in our reality.
The Scottish Rite and the Shriners never came into existence, and Freemasonry remained a small, relatively obscure society.
Chapter 6: A Different Fate
In this alternate history, the American Revolution remained unfinished.
The British maintained control over the colonies, which were forced to submit to the Crown's authority.
The Declaration of Independence, a symbol of American unity, was never written.
Over time, the American colonies faded into obscurity as a mere extension of the British Empire.
The spirit of independence that had once burned so brightly was extinguished.
The world watched as the American experiment in self-governance became a footnote in history.
Epilogue: A Lesson in Fate
The alternate history of George Washington's decision not to join the Freemasons serves as a reminder of the delicate balance of historical events.
Small decisions and personal choices can have far-reaching consequences, altering the course of nations.
In this timeline, the United States never became a beacon of freedom and democracy, and the world was forever changed by the absence of the American experiment.
History, as we know it, is a tapestry woven from the threads of countless individual decisions, each shaping the destiny of nations and people.
If George Washington was never a Freemason, would the world be as we know it today?
Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Prince Hall Masonic Lodges NEVER RECEIVED A CHARTER
What if Prince Hall Masonic Lodges [NEVER RECEIVED A CHARTER]? Another "what if" episode of the Old Fashion Masonic Podcast.
Uncharted Paths: A World Without Prince Hall Masonic Lodges
We’ve all heard of Prince Hall Lodge. This great group of men have raised some historical figures in U.S. History. Imagine this, what would the world be like if they were never granted a charter? This video will speculate exactly that.
Uncharted Paths: A World Without Prince Hall Masonic Lodges
The decision made by the Grand Lodge of England in the mid 18th century, to withhold a charter from the African Masonic Lodges, known as Prince Hall Masonic Lodges, was one such moment. In this alternative reality, we explore a world where this charter was never granted, and how it would have impacted African-American Freemasons, including prominent figures like Jesse Jackson and Thurgood Marshall.
Chapter 1: The Lost Brotherhood
In this alternate timeline, African-American men found themselves locked out of the Freemasonry brotherhood.
As a result, the sense of unity and mutual empowerment within the African-American community was significantly weakened. They were never granted a charter. The Grand Lodge of England insists it was granted, but never received.
Chapter 2: The Impact on Prominent Figures
One cannot discuss the consequences of this altered history without considering the impact on individuals who had once been Freemasons in the original timeline. Jesse Jackson and Thurgood Marshall were never involved in Freemasonry. Because of this, the following laws were never enacted:
Smith versus Allwright (1944), which found that states could not exclude Black voters from primaries was never put into effect.
Shelley versus Kraemer (1948), which struck down race-based restrictive housing covenants was never enacted. African-Americans could never live integrated with whites.
Sweatt versus Painter (1950), which deemed separate facilities for Black professional and graduate students unconstitutional
Chapter 3: The Lost Legacy
In this world where Prince Hall Masonic Lodges never received their charter, the impact was not only felt in the realm of civil rights and politics but also in the cultural and social fabric of African-American communities.
Segregation remained in effect.
The community lacked a cohesive organization that could bring individuals together for the greater good. Social initiatives, charity work, and educational programs that had been sponsored by these lodges vanished, leaving a gap in the progress of African-American society.
Chapter 4: A Slow March Towards Progress
As the years passed, African-American men found alternative routes to self-improvement and community service. African-American college fraternities were never allowed. Other fraternal organizations and community groups emerged to fill the void left by the absence of Prince Hall Masonic Lodges, but these lacked the historical significance and centuries-old wisdom of Freemasonry.
The struggle for civil rights still took place, albeit with different leaders and organizations at the forefront.
Chapter 5: The Unveiling of Hidden Truths
In this alternate timeline, a curious historian stumbled upon a hidden archive in a dusty corner of the Library of Congress. Among the forgotten records, he discovered letters and documents that revealed the true reason behind the denial of the charter to the African Masonic Lodges.
The Grand Lodge of England had indeed intended to grant the charter, but a series of events at the Boston Tea Party prevented them from ever receiving their charter. The Charter was hidden.
It was not until 1975, that the Charter was discovered and put into effect.
The revelation sent shockwaves through the Masonic world, leading to a newfound effort to rectify the historical injustice.
Chapter 6: Rebuilding the Brotherhood
With the official recognition of Prince Hall Masonic Lodges, a sense of unity and purpose was restored within the African-American Masonic community. African-American men could join the ranks of Freemasonry, accessing the same teachings and opportunities as their brethren worldwide.
Chapter 7: A Reimagined Legacy
In this altered timeline, countless other African-American Freemasons, had the opportunity to engage with Freemasonry from a young age.
They absorbed its teachings, principles, and values, which shaped their worldview and leadership styles.
Chapter 8: The World Today
As we fast-forward to the present day in this alternate reality, we find a world where the legacy of Prince Hall Masonic Lodges is celebrated alongside the wider Masonic tradition.
The struggle for civil rights, although still arduous, was navigated with greater unity and solidarity.
The story of this alternate reality serves as a reminder that even in the absence of certain opportunities, the human spirit will always find a way to strive for greatness and justice.

Freemason Tubal Cain; Masonic Villain or Hero?
Once upon a time, in the rolling hills of the Appalachian Mountains, there lived a man named Tubal Cain. He was a skilled blacksmith, known far and wide for his exceptional craftsmanship and the mysterious symbols he etched into his work. Tubal Cain was a man of few words, but his hands spoke volumes through the artistry of his creations.
Tubal Cain's humble forge nestled deep within the forest had an air of secrecy about it. Rumors circulated through the nearby town that Tubal Cain was a Freemason, a member of a secret society steeped in tradition and ancient wisdom. The Masonic symbol, a square and compass, was said to be etched into the foundation of his forge, hidden away from prying eyes.
One sunny afternoon, a curious traveler named Samuel arrived in town. Samuel had heard the legends of Tubal Cain and his extraordinary blacksmithing skills. Intrigued, he set out to seek the enigmatic craftsman in the hopes of learning from the master himself.
After days of wandering the winding forest trails, Samuel stumbled upon Tubal Cain's hidden forge. He marveled at the exquisite ironwork displayed outside the shop, each piece adorned with intricate designs, some bearing the unmistakable Masonic square and compass.
Samuel cautiously approached the forge and knocked on the heavy wooden door. Tubal Cain emerged, his rugged face etched with age and wisdom. Without a word, he beckoned Samuel inside.
The interior of the forge was a mesmerizing labyrinth of tools, anvils, and the soft glow of embers. Weapons, tools, and decorative pieces lined the shelves, each a testament to Tubal Cain's artistry.
Tubal Cain gestured for Samuel to sit down and handed him a simple iron rod. Samuel watched in awe as Tubal Cain transformed the shapeless metal into a delicate, intricate design. The flames danced in the background, casting an eerie, enchanting light on the surroundings.
As the hours passed, Tubal Cain shared stories of his craft, revealing that he had indeed been a Freemason for many years. He spoke of the society's dedication to self-improvement, moral values, and the pursuit of wisdom. The Masonic symbols he incorporated into his work were not just for show but held profound meaning for those who understood.
Samuel listened intently, absorbing not only the blacksmith's skills but also the wisdom of the Freemasons. He realized that Tubal Cain's artistry was a reflection of his deep commitment to these principles. The blacksmith's creations weren't merely objects; they were conduits of his beliefs and values, carrying a message of enlightenment and personal growth.
Days turned into weeks, and Samuel became Tubal Cain's apprentice. Under the master's guidance, he honed his blacksmithing skills and learned the deeper lessons of life. As he worked alongside Tubal Cain, Samuel came to understand the true meaning behind the Masonic symbols etched into their creations.
In time, Samuel left the hidden forge, carrying with him not only the knowledge of a master blacksmith but also the profound teachings of a Freemason. He spread Tubal Cain's legacy far and wide, not just through the intricate ironwork but also through the timeless principles of self-improvement and enlightenment that he had learned.
Tubal Cain continued to forge his creations in solitude, knowing that his work would endure as a testament to the power of craftsmanship, wisdom, and the mysteries hidden within the symbols of the Freemasons. And so, the legend of Tubal Cain lived on, a beacon of light and knowledge in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, inspiring all who sought his wisdom and craftsmanship.

Pope Executes The Templar Knights on Friday the 13th
Join the Old Fashion Masonic Podcast Hosts, along with resident historian, Dave Thomas, on a captivating journey into the intriguing history behind Friday the 13th and when Pope Clement V ordered the execution of the Templar Knights and their Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, as part of a dramatic and controversial chapter in the history of the Catholic Church and medieval Europe. This event occurred in the early 14th century.
In 1307, King Philip IV of France, in need of funds to support his costly wars, initiated a campaign against the powerful and wealthy Templar Order. The Templars, originally founded to protect Christian pilgrims in the Holy Land during the Crusades, had accumulated vast wealth and influence. However, they had also become a target of envy and suspicion.
Philip IV, with the support of Pope Clement V, launched a coordinated attack against the Templars. On October 13, 1307, Templar Knights across France were simultaneously arrested on charges of heresy, blasphemy, and other offenses. Many Templars were subjected to torture, which led to confessions of alleged heretical practices.
The fate of the Templars ultimately rested in the hands of Pope Clement V. In 1312, the pope convened the Council of Vienne to address the accusations against the Templars. Despite efforts to clear the Templars of heresy, the pressure from King Philip IV and the political climate of the time led to the suppression of the Templar Order.
On March 22, 1312, Pope Clement V issued the papal bull "Vox in Excelso," officially dissolving the Templar Order. However, the fate of Jacques de Molay and other Templar leaders remained uncertain for several years.
On March 18, 1314, in the heart of Paris, Jacques de Molay and Geoffroi de Charney, another high-ranking Templar, were publicly burned at the stake. The dramatic and brutal execution of Jacques de Molay is often seen as the symbolic end of the Templar Order.
The reasons behind the Templar suppression remain a subject of historical debate, with factors including political intrigue, financial motives, and religious tensions all playing a role. Pope Clement V's decision to execute Jacques de Molay and the Templar leaders remains a controversial and tragic episode in medieval history.
Remember, it's just history. Or is it?

Was A Woman Forced to Become a Freemason?
In 1735, Lodge #44 at Doneraile, Ireland usually met at Lord Doneraile's home who was Master of his Lodge.
His sister also lived with him, Elizabeth St. Leger.
As the meeting was about to start, Elizabeth hid in a storage room adjoining the lodge room.
She removed a brick that she had loosened from the wall, and watched the conferring of the Fellow Craft degree.
When the meeting was about to close, Elizabeth realized what she had done, and in her nervous attempt to leave knocked over some storage boxes.
The Tiler hearing the ruckus sounded the alarm.
Lord Doneraile appeared just in time to save her life.
After questioning her the members re-assembled and deliberated on what to do.
After two hours of heated debate, she was given two option, either she submit to receiving the first two degrees in Masonry or she would be killed.
Miss St. Leger being able to hear some of the debate gladly accepted.
Elizabeth, was so taken by the lessons of charity and Fraternal love shown to her, she spent her life and considerable wealth helping the poor in general and the Masonic poor in particular.
