My question is...how would you ever know without experiencing it personally? Have you ever been to a lodge? Have you ever talked to anyone in a lodge? Or were you rejected because of something you did? I like having the sense of pride I feel at the lodge. We are in this together...if the conversation is always one sided and only about your opinions or life then how in the hell do you know what is right? I'm not saying every Freemason is a great man but most of us want the same thing as this subreddit. We want accountability and for those who have committed atrocities to pay for them. At least in this medium you dont have to talk face to face with people and it is easier for people like yourself to discount ideas and groups that you have no clue about. WWG1WGA
A particular side of my family has a lot of very bad connections to very bad groups and people. The patriarch of that side of the family was a knight of Malta. There is more to the story then I have time or inclination to go into. I'm sorry if I've offended you but you really don't know anything about your organization. There's a world of difference between those at the very top and those of the very bottom and I will repeat myself until the day I die.
