How did Templars learn to be international bankers?
They got into banking because when pilgrims went on their pilgrimages, they needed to fund their journey, but physically carrying their net worth with them to Jerusalem was obviously not a good idea. So the templars were clever enough to appraise that net worth and then finance the pilgrims instead
>>18288176So if someone lets me hold some gold and silver coins I can learn to be an international banker too?
>>18288170the temple mount tempted them into it like that hotel in the shining which draws power from previous occupants
>>18288170They secretly abandoned Christianity and later become Freemasons
>>18288211freemasons are christians though. apart from in those countries where the church was just an arm of the oppressive state
>>18288184Yes. Banking is all about knowing how to store and move money.
>>18288212freemasonry is atheistic
>>18288212Saying that freemasons are christians is like saying that satan is god
>>18288217not in the UK, Sweden, Germany or any country where religion wasn't all about keeping aristocrats in power and serfs in line
>>18288218Makes more sense that Satan is God than the other way around for obvious reasons.
>>18288170They got it from the Alawites.
>>18288184Yes, but you have to have a good enough reputation and the right systems in place to convince intelligent rational people, the kind of people to accumulate and maintain wealth, to do so on a large scale.
>>18288217Not in the US. You can find lots of accounts from atheists bitching about not wanting to do some of the freemasonry rituals or feeling unfairly turned away because they refused to acknowledge the existence of a higher power. Freemasonry is esoteric on purpose, designed to make one feel cool for being in on "secrets", which makes it slightly incompatible with the more devout Christians and such, but it is very much not atheistic. It is explicitly theistic.
>>18288543what things would i learn once i hold a few coins?
>>18288217Atheism is explicitly banned from Scottish and English Freemasonry
>>18288543>debt slavery is a good thing goy.No wonder you got kicked out of 109 countries
>>18288801It's not a "good thing" but it is an unavoidable and intrinsic aspect of capitalism which cannot be sidestepped.
>>18288801>got an idea for a business but are a dirt poor peasant?>you get to rot in the same acre of land you were born in!
>>18288170It wasn't true banking, they were just doing money holding.>>18288211There is no direct link between the Knights Templar and Masonry.>>18288212Masonic beliefs are unknown. Many masons are Protestant Christians, but there are some who are Muslim or pagan. A lot of aspects of Masonry come from pagan Greek mystery cult larps that began during the so called "enlightenment".
>>18289213>It wasn't true banking, they were just doing money holding.What is true banking?
>>18289802When your explicit purpose is to conduct business by using your organization's existing wealth to offer financial services and profit primarily from jewing people out of their money. The templars just used the massive amounts of donations they got and plunder they obtained in the holy land to start issuing traveler's checques for pilgrims and that service was always provided at cost - they actually made their money from normal business dealings and property acquisition.
