Opinion of the Freemasons?

[James Monroe]

An extraordinary club that has gotten a bad rep over the years by irrational conspiracists. The foundation for a functional society has come from many members of the club who have help make a better world for life on earth. My qualms just has to do with a somewhat old boy's network that could open the doors for women in this century and beyond.

[PSOL]

A country club for old edgelords attracted to “mystique” or whatever.

[Mopsus]

Wholesome aspirations, but as is always the case, the higher the aspirations, the higher the chance those aspirations will be perverted (see the United States of America, the country they spawned).

[Small L]

A secret handshake treehouse club for adherents of enlightenment era rationalism.

Cool in theory, but in actuality I imagine it's just a bunch of old guys sitting around drinking and having fun lol. Nothing wrong with that though.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Kind of meh. I'm always amused by how many people in the Catholic Church still have Ironside sirens go off in their heads whenever the Freemasons are brought up, though.

Do we have anybody here that is a mason?

[TJ in Oregon]

Kind of meh. I'm always amused by how many people in the Catholic Church still have Ironside sirens go off in their heads whenever the Freemasons are brought up, though.

I have multiple ancestors who were fired for being Catholic by bosses who were Freemasons.

[Sumner 1868]

William Morgan will have his revenge.

[Sir Mohamed]

I dunno. It sounds good, but not sure.

I remember that I once thought you can join them just like a sports club. LOL

[Helsinkian]

I wonder how much trouble they have attracting younger members. It's hard to imagine anyone under 35 being into it.

It's not just Catholics that get upset. It's a defrocking offense in most Reformed denominations.

[DINGO Joe]

I'll stick with my Stonecutters membership.
