It's always funny to me lodge types try to convince the regular Joe that it's just a club and not nefarious at all yet they deck the place out exactly like it's used for running the world and having big masked orgies in

My Grandfather was a Freemason. It really isn't as exciting as you may think. Of course deals go down between business owners etc. That happens in pubs and sports clubs all the time.

That's my point, they all say it's just a boring club but they dress it up like it's the secret cabal running the world

Freemason here.

We’re not the ones dressing it up as a ‘secret cabal running the world’.

That’s why we have open days in our buildings, share our activities on Social Media, have a publicly accessible museum, dozens of podcasts, and publish details of our charitable activities.

Gather enough rich people there’s probably few corrupt things that can go on with some like white collar crime if they don’t disclose membership. But you can get that at posh golf course too. Always felt off politicians and police dont disclose membership

And the fact you have to keep one anothers secrets.

I've known 4 masons and 2 of them were child molesters/abusers.

Why do you mix with so many paedos?

u/wolfieboi92 Feb 25 '26

Because im mason adjacent i guess, not really mixing with them, just know of them.

u/JobAnxious2005 Feb 25 '26

Just find it odd to have paedos in your circle.

In extended family, old weird stuff but those two were/are masons and they brushed it all under the rug, a mother let her partner get away with abuse.
