This sounds pretty apocryphal.
If masons have a right to keep private that which is private, why would they impinge on the privacy of others? Isn't that something you would
call hypocrisy?
It is, but once again, I'm not sure this ever happened.
Now masons may have been persecuted in the past, however in present times, Freemasons are now in the most powerful positions ever in our
history.
Such as?
Freemasons are bankers, politicians, and police commissioners.
The number of federal politicians who are Masons is inside half a dozen. The other two are hard to find statistics on, so I'll wait for you to
provide evidence of such.
Now why would a Freemason need to keep what they do a secret?
We don't. Every financial action of a lodge is publicly recorded under 501(c)3 documentation.
Why is it that Freemasons are so secretive about their beliefs, yet Christianity is so open about theirs?
Once again, we're not. Every Grand Lodge has a website which will spell out exactly what Freemasons believe. If that's not good enough for you, look
at Duncan's Ritual or any other publicly available monitor.
Generally from what I have found is that, secret societies are generally hiding something evil. And the bigger the organization is, and still
holds secrets, means that the evil is probably, extremely evil.
What you have "found", though, contains serious factual errors.
See I've heard stories of Biker gangs which deal drugs, run prostitution rackets, murder people to protect their business. And then in the public
light, they contribute to charity, go to childrens hospitals and give them all, cuddly teddy bears. And they are a secret society.
Now the Illuminati are the biggest secret society, and they have the greatest respect for masons. So I just have to wonder. What are you guys
hiding?
