Wow. I know John Otis. This brings back memories…I do a good impersonation, btw.

“I do a good impersonation, btw.”
Then you probably could do a good one of Texe Marrs or Alex Jones!
I’m not sure why Freemasonry Watch dislikes Otis, but I was pretty impressed with the guy’s succinct answers. He knows his stuff; especially the part about the perfectibility of man being the crux of Masonry. On the other hand, R. A. Gilbert - a supposed scholar whose writings are gobbled up by Masons and academia alike - came across as intellectually flaccid. His attempt at explaining away Jah-Bul-On was bumbling at best.

Actually, yes, I do a really good Texe and Alex, according to my buds (an odd talent). Yes, Otis is a sharp guy *on this topic* and is writing a book on masonry that will be out soon. The rocket scientist buddy of mine I link frequently, Dave Hodges, is very good friends with Otis and his family. When I left his denomination, Otis was involved as a kind of mediator between me and a control freak pastor, and I’ve always thought well of him (John), though his theology is, in my view, deficient in many areas. Anyway, that’s probably more than you cared to know.

LMAO!
Your Jones is pretty good, but your Texe Marrs is hilarious!
“Chupacabras and little green on planet pop tart!” Classic.
