Well there's the beauty of it. It doesn't matter if you are the former king or Britain, or a bin man. All me are equal and you speak to each other as such. I have made many great friends through masonry and I know any one of them would give me their last dollar if I needed it. It also gives some people purpose in life. You'll notice a lot of older men whose wife has passed away and without the masons they would be very alone, but instead of sitting home miserable on a weeknight they get to go to a place where people genuinely want to know them and are genuinely happy to be in their company. The reason people are suspicious of it is because yes, there are secrets. But if we are honest they aren't that interesting to be a member just to find them out. There are many masons in high places sure but that is more because it is so big and diverse it attracts members from all walks of life. If it was to benefit members then most of the charitable things wouldn't happen. The grand lodge of Scotland has just recently managed to raise more than £300,000 for prostate cancer by doing a whip round of its members. Now that is something I am proud to say I'm a part of. Now if it were a kind of illuminati where it only benefits its members, or just a selfish organisation like some of the crap you read on google, I for one wouldn't be a member.this right here is the reason i joined. i was blue collar at one point and the fact that i could be on an even medium with someone who happened to be established and in the 1% echelon
here is just what the craft is all about. how many millionaires and multi millionaires you know that would stop and help a brother on the highway if he were stranded?? it happened to me. really powerful brotherhood am grateful i am a part of the camaraderie and fellowship
