    The Masons are secretive. Many very high level historic figures have been Masons. It’s a good old boys club to get in you need to be sponsored by another Mason. You don’t hear a lot about their accomplishments. And you would expect that a social group that contained many of the important men in history wouldn’t just be sitting around doing nothing in secret.

      To my personal knowledge of them, just a bunch of businessmen who jerk each other off basically.

      If one freemason owns a business, and another finds out they do and they also have a business - there will be some sort of service from one company or the other so they can make each other money. Basically, they just support members and will give them preferential treatment over someone they don’t know.

          My dad was in the masons in three different countries. Locally they sponsored a few college scholarships and nationally they are best known for their hospitals.

          Both parents were in a sister organization called the Order of the Eastern Star. None of the kids had any interest in either.
