Braingle: 'Freemasonry' Trivia Quiz

Not bad, I did 9/10, didn't realize that Joe Smith Jr. was a member. I thought about it, as to why they would ask that question. I guess I should've changed my answer.

The female thing, I won't get into that one here, I have already commented about this in other threads.

10 for 10 . At least no one isn't getting all worked up over it here like on another forum because one of the questions does not pertain to Freemasonry in other parts of the world .

That would be the one question I got wrong, I don't understand why someone would get bent out of shape over it though.

On another site , because not all GL's around the world do not use the Letter "G" in the S & C , they are saying that the answer to the question is not correct . Just because some countries do not use the Letter "G" in the S & C, the answer is still correct for those who do use it . Even those in other parts of the world would have known the answer . There was only three choices to choose from , if there was another choice that said "None" or "no letter is used" , and that was your answer and they said you got it wrong , then you can complain about it .

Then there is the women in Freemasonry question . I'll not go into that , but they started bringing up co-Masonry .

Instead of just posting their scores , or ignoring it all together , they have to show how smart they are by pointing out what is wrong with quiz . Which is nothing but being a ridiculous little quiz which was probably written by a non-Mason for other non-Masons . Yet , some were bothered by it .

That behavior seems really non masonic to me. They should look at the source of the quiz and be understanding of the regional differences, not to mention the difference between regular and irregular lodges.

All the best,

Matt

I wouldn't say it's non-masonic . I would just say it's silly how they take it so serious and feel the need to nit pick it .
