To what ends indeed? What company can ever succeed if they promote slackers over better qualified employees? Sounds like a good way to go out of business, not take over the world.

Also, being a freemason can help one achieve promotion in some lines of work and can get you further in your chosen career. I've known instances where the best, most qualified, for a promotion was over looked for someone who was in the boss's lodge. That can't be right can it? Could be a simple case of friends helping a friend or could it be that the business only promotes like minded freemasons? And if so, to what ends?

And if so, to what ends? Pile the secrecy aspect on top of this and you can see why the brotherhood fascinates people like me.

Masons, like Illuminati, Jesuits, Rothchilds, Rockefellers, Asters, Duponts, Mansons, Bundys, etc., are neither good, nor bad collectively. It is the individual and subgroup within them that represent problems.

Masons, exclusive clubs, and secret sociaties serve no productive purpose in our public sociaty. Please post replys to us "Anti-Masons" and I will freely admit that I am one of those......the reason, I want to read your responses because I want to hear why you belive "Freemasonry" is something that needs to be defended. You want to stop all the badmouthing about freemasons...fine....give anybody any good reason why secret sociaties need to exist!!
If you folks are not planning anything bad, then whats with all the secrecy?
No I think its far more likely that the leadership of the Freemasons do have an evil agenda that they are forcing on the rest of the world (specifically the US). You little peons in the "fraternity", know nothing of what your masters want or if you do..
.that makes you as evil as them....either way, you've aligned yourself against the rest of the world, and you hide behind your secrecy and mystique.
If you want to be a mason.....get used to being hated by other non-masons...us "useless eaters" have developed opinions and idea's of our own and wont be controlled by shadow governments in secret sociaties....if I had my way....every member of every secret elitist sociaty would be thrown in jail for crimes against humanity

How has a meeting of masons personally affected you? Have they made your life harder to live?

It's privacy, not secrecy. You can come up to and into the building. You can talk to the members before the meeting. You can talk to the members after the meeting. You just cannot go into the meeting. Until you are a mason. Much like you cannot go into a board meeting of the Hasbro Corporation until you are a member of the board of directors. Are they plotting world destruction inside or discussing how to market the next Barbi? You will never know until you become a member. What about your parents? They had closed door meetings to discuss your behavior. You weren't invited. Should they be thrown in jail?

but you do.....

or perhaps we are just meeting in private to discuss how to raise money to donate to toys for tots. OOOOO! evil!

You are not invited to the last meeting the Red Cross had, should they be thrown in jail as well?
At the very least, please understand that which you claim to hate. At this point, you have no idea.
This made me lol. It's Intelligent not intelegent or inteligent. Shows how "intelegent" Masons are. That is comical!

I would however like to have intelegent discussion with inteligent people. That, after all, is what I came to ATS for.

Freemasonry serves the public plenty with its charity. We are not a secret society, we a private organization. You are confusing secrecy and privacy. I thank God everyday for such a thing as the US Constitution which guarantees our right to assemble without justifying ourselves to fearmongerers.
ROFLMAO ohh this is golden!!! Now you are the Patriots right? So the secret handsigns are just a cool way of saying hello right? The oaths of death and torture to anybody that reveals your secrets are never upheld right? You are a charity organization.....this is your defense??? THIS IS BETTER THEN COMEDY!!! Do you Jokers really think you are convincing anybody of this facade you hide behind? You give to toy for tots.....so does the biker gang Hells angels....what does that prove? You have good PR....and you should have it....after all you own the media and everything else...........and as for fear.......you know what causes that......the unknown and unanswered questions.....you are the fearmongers, you give us real reason to be afraid
