Question: Do you think that Free Masons are a secret society or a society with secrets!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
They have been either/or during their three hundred years of existence!. Scottish rite Masonry is much more secretive and arcane!. There have been subgroups within Masonry that have functioned Illuminati like among nations!.

21st century Masonry is much more mundane, I suspect!.

PS: notice my avatar is of Hiram Abiff, the mythical father of Masonry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Free masons are usually black right!? I ask this because its a popular topic on the bus between black men!. I think its just people that want to help each other because once maybe it was necessary!. It is always necessary to be socially connected to be succesful

It is not a secret society!. People know about it!. It is a society people don't know alot about!. Exept they have a huge building downtown!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

dark secrets !.!.yes!.!.
they are sworn in , in a secret place, blind folded taken to a place , where no one knows!.!.!.and swear that they can never talk about the ceremony!.!.I know this because i had a relative take part in this!.!.!. It scared the **** out of him!. He was all happy go lucky, for about 6 months and then he started acting weird, he no longer talked about the masons like he did in the past!. BLAH BLAH about the charity work, there is something else going on!. He took off one day , and no one can find him!. He never even called to say good bye!? Pretty spooky stuff!.!.!.!. Has anybody else heard storied about this group!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Neither

to some others:

tritex's link is full of the typical anti-mason misinformation

happy hiram --- don't believe the conspiracy theorists!.!.!.they just want your money

witch - read my comment to hiram and tritex, it's obvious you do not know anything about freemasonry except the lies you read from anti-mason sites!. the rituals take place in lodges, not a very secretive location (you can find them in the yellow pages) there are tons of stories out there and they are just that, stories!.!.!.!.

My girlfriend's father is in the Free Masons!. There really isn't much to them besides charities and meetings!. I've heard plenty of rumors and have seen people vandalize their buildings for ignorant reasons but yeah, theres really no secret to them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do you mean masons that work for free!? Or the old creepy guys down at the Masonic lodge!? Either way I guess it doesn't matter!. Neither!. One are laborers that work for free and the other is a group of feeble old guys that can't chew food and wear diapers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Since everyone knows they exist they are not a secret society anymore, just a society with secrets!. Yet, even those are not so secret anymore since you can google them & find a lot of info on the secret rituals!.

I think they are a group of stuffy men from the community who pass each other with lame ceremonious rights that mean very little, to make themselves feel important!. Crap!. I hope they don't trace my IP address and slit my throat while I'm sleeping!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I bet it is just a bunch of Homer Simpsons and Peter Griffins that have a Mens' club where hang out and get plastered, and everyone hyped it out of proportion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The ones I have met seem to want you to know but also want to be mysterious!. I think that they are a bunch of nutters personally!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well to be a secret society, you would have to be a society with secrets!Www@QuestionHome@Com

There really is no secret in freemasonry, just things that non-masons don't understand!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Freemasons have many dark secrets in my understanding!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
