Thanks for that gem of wisdom, DD. I was beginning to think I had a secret admirer. Shucks ! Always the bridesmaid, never the bride You just wait until the 14th, granny. I'll bet you'll find that you have loads of secret admirers More likely admirers with secrets rather than secret admirers..

Poor Tait. I gave him a bad enough time when he last visited us and I felt a little guilty afterwards. So, I'm not going to add to my bad manners any longer. He's trying to do his best. As knowing what it's like to have everyone tell you your nuts if you go to church and believe in an afterlife, it's not very fair to condemn another for their own involvement in an organisation. That's an apology Tait. They're all heathens on here, such a dreadful lot to deal with at times

HI all
Been following this thread and all the usual myths about Freemasons pop up - what a surprise!
There are all sorts of different "secret" or otherwise societies: Catenians, Rotary, Round Table, Soroptimists - an endless list. And many of these have very strict joining criteria.
Freemasonry is not secret - Google and find out but look on a regular site - not a conspiracy site.
Whilst charity is important, and not only to Freemasons but probably to all of us whether through an organisation or through our own giving, Freemasonry does also offer something that you will again find in the other organisations that people look for in these times. Friendship, sense of belonging, opportunity for deeper thinking about past and future....
Keep an open mind, watch the documentary, do a bit of proper research before drawing conclusions....

Most certainly opportunity, if of course you are a mason, you scratch my back, or maybe you squeeze my leg and all will be open to you, and yes I do know a little bit.

The charity thing is just a cover up and conscience balance for other nefarious activities that generally cost communities and not benefit them. In my personal experience.

Thanks. Not sure I'm doing my best though. I am simply sharing my thoughts and experience of being a mason. So many people criticise without understanding!

I read a book about the Masons years ago, it seems that the Masons lodges range between the benign social club type that Tait seems to belong, to the more malign insidious lodges such as those with the upper echelons of the police, politicians and even royalty as members.
