I don't think masonry is good. Any organized group of people who keep secrets should not be trusted. The Nazi organization was secret before WWII, and so is the KKK, we just know alot more about these two groups because they are not driven by wisdom.
Masons hold secrets about the world that everyone should know about to better mankind.
The fact that they pledge their allegiance to the society, and also hold political positions, such as president of the united states. I don't know about you, but i want the president to have allegence to our country, not masonry.
And in theory, I would like to join, just to find out what they know, so I can expose them for what they are. The only problem with this is that only 33rd degree or higher masons are told what is actually going on in the organization. The smaller ranks just perform rituals, and have secret handshakes. So it would be pointless for me to attempt this idea i had.

So you're more interested in the Brotherhood than any secrets or lessons they could teach?

You are correct.. but if you notice few of those posts can truly be called a discussion ie an exchange of ideas. That's why this thread has "A fresh start" in the title.
So would you care to share your ideas?

No offense meant. I'm just asking a question to expand on the subject your post.

I get most of my information from
Behold a Pale Horse
a book by: William Cooper
and other random websites also
Originally posted by CugPart of the reason I requested to limit quoted text, is people around here tend to post a list of 10 to 20 quotes at a shot. It's really a pain to debate 20 things at the same time. If there was a list of pro's and con's well that seems to me like it would end up the same way. See what I'm getting at?

The main reason masonry is attacked by non masons, is because masonry does nothing directly for individuals outside of masonry.
