I don't think "freemasonry" started in 1717 with UGLE. That's not true. I am personally affronted, and take great offense at the incredible dishonesty that the higher ups in Freemasonry show to the world. It's insane. They can't tell me to shut up because they're all scared of me, but they hate how honest I am. They all tell so many lies to mislead people. It's not true at all.

Freemasonry's origins are secret. Those secrets are carefully guarded. But it's not what you think. It's actually quite evil and bloody and spooky, and most likely, most members will never find out the truth because they wouldn't like to hear about it or know, and we also know this, we just know, that if you told them, they will just have issues and cause problems for all of us.

But the common sense is this. If it's true, that Freemasonry started in 1717. Then how come it's by a merger of older, bigger lodges in England? It can't be then. It must be that there was something a lot older.

Worse, James VI and I was a freemason. He was alive in the 1500s. So, how could it be? It's a bit strange, don't you think. He was 59 when he died. A normal age. But anyway, he must've joined early. It was up and running a long time ago. Mordecai brought a version of it to the states before they existed (with Washington). Tradition connects Mordecai Campanall, of Newport, Rhode Island, with the supposed establishment of a lodge there in 1658.

James VI and I (James Charles Stuart; 19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625. The kingdoms of Scotland and England were individual sovereign states, with their own parliaments, judiciaries, and laws, though both were ruled by James in personal union.

To tell people it started in 1717 is just to insult them, to throw them off, so they will stop bothering you.
