Question Author
am enjoying reading all your opinions.
By the way Doc NOT all the freemasons are male, as you say, there is also a branch called the "co-masons" - (more popular in usa than uk) these are all ladies and follow the same rituals etc.... or so i'm told. BUt they do hold their lodge meeting seperrately from the men.
by the way i am NOT a mason but i do find it interesting, particularly the symbolism and history..
I'm pretty divided as to what i think about the group.
I think the majority of masons are good, law abiding folk but....
on a negative spin - i do wonder about how twisted things may get as they go further on up the hierarchy ...which i suspect alot of masons "lower down" in rank possibly don't know, or choose to ignore these "rumours" .... but hey .... i believe in the illuminati after all so i'm probably abit of a conspiracy theorist. :-)
