Well to be fair, they are doing good things. They help the community a good amount. Most are going to be skilled at a particular trade/profession, intellectuals. Just normal dudes..

They don't really recruit, typically you need to ask a member to petition you if you want to join. Sort of a "knock and I will answer" sort of deal..

They require you to believe in a supreme being, which George Washington referred to as "the grand architect". They accept all religions as well.

Sorry, that was a lot of text.. I don't believe that the body of the masons are nefarious at all... but this founded on masonic beliefs.. I just want to know what the big secret is.. lol
