I am a Q admirer by I am not a Q groupie. Too many chase the 17 number like it is a talisman of some sort and reduce the meaning and effectiveness of Q messaging to little more than a cult-like status. Your fascination with ECP is troubling. If ECP has glommed their religious beliefs onto a Q informed canvass, it is hucksterism and a deceptive kind of projection. This Oriental Mormonist script is one which competes with others regarding this same period of Jesus' life.

For instance There is the legend in the UK which asserts the belief of many that Jesus accompanied Joseph of Arimathea to Glastonbury, England in the course of assiting him with his metal trade. It is believed by some that this is the reason for the signifance that Joseph - whose name apears nowhere else in the Gospels but here -- appealed to Pilot for Christ's body so that it might be placed in his tomb. The notion that Jesus set foot in England is the basis of the famous song, composed by Edward Elgar, "Jerusalem" -- a poem by William Blake. https://www.classicfm.com/composers/parry/jerusalem-hymn-lyrics-history/ .

I do not claim that that legend has merit necessarily and I have heard it on any number of visits I have personally made there. This 17 "lost" years of Jesus can have many speculations made about them but attaching any significance to the number 17 (actually 18 if one is counting from the time when Jesus was teaching in the Temple to the time he began his reorded ministry at age ~30) is a weak association if any.

As far as George Washington is concerned this is a less supportive defense of your position than you may realize, largely because US Fremasonry at the time he participated in it was not yet infilitrated with Adam Weishaupt's "Illuminati" in America as it was in Europe, as was revealed in John Robison's publication, "Proofs of a Conspiracy ...." which was shared with Washington in 1798. https://www.loc.gov/resource/mgw2.021/?sp=182&st=text

Today's FreeMasonry is permeated with the Satanic core of Albert Pike-ism and other anti-Christian ceremonies, pledges and dogma. My grandfather (d. 1964) was a 32nd degree mason, and my father rid himself of his masonic afffiliiaton as a 3rd degree, when he became a Christian.

Bottom line -- do not let Q become a religious dogma for you through ECP-ism. That reduces Q to a cultic fascination, which instead of pointing to a direction in a very elaborate plan, it is projected and wrongfully transformed into a kind of mystical faith walk
