“The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings...JFK
As a Master Mason, Past Master and Knights Templar, which is as high as it gets in York Rite, I can assure you that our secrets are anything but devious. It's literally akin to boys building a tree house and having a secret handshake to get in. It amazes me how people will always demonize what they don't know instead of letting their thoughts go the other direction about it. I joined years ago to see what all of the fuss was about because I had heard the rumors too. Turns out they were all just BS rumors.
Why ya gotta ruin the fun with facts and such?
Seriously.
Rule #1 of echo chamber is don’t talk about the echo.
