Wouldn't be surprised that there are some members, who are also masons.

I'll give you a dirty little secret; the Free & Accepted Masons today are not what they used to be. Unfortunately, we are not the illuminati (that was actually a short-lived group, founded after masonry, by a guy that wasn't allowed in the masons and he was upset)

We do not "run the world" like its portrayed

- everyone is ~80 yo+ (I'm an infant to these guys) on an a fixed income, & bitch when dues have to go up by $5/yr.

- 99% of lodges can barely pay our lodge bills, which only cost ~$6k-$12k/yr.

Beautiful organization with its principles, rich history, focusing on self-improvement & helping community

Absolute embarrassment in practice today as of 2025
