Question

Should the freemasons be exposed is it outdated does the world need secret societies?

Answer 1

it is not a secret society, how can it be when everyone knows about it. it is a society f secrets. there is a difference

Answer 2

What harm is it doing you Vader?

Answer 3

does that mean we do away with the catholic church too!

Answer 4

So what secrets do you think you'd expose?  Load of middle-aged men go to a club, take part in silly rituals and raise money for charity.  You'd probably get a better story doing an exposé on the Boy Scouts.

Answer 5

What is wrong with the Freemasonary movement? They are a group of like minded people who enjoy ancient rituals and hurt no one.

Answer 6

There have been books "exposing" Masons back into at least the 19th Century.... they're still here... and so are new books... I don't think it's working  very well.

Answer 7

The world will always have the masons and secret societies! Do we need them?The founding fathers were masons so i would say a good maybe!

Answer 8

What exactly do you propose to "expose"? All of the secrets of freemasonry (rituals, words, hand shakes, etc...) have been public knowledge for almost 300 years. If they were a secret society don't you think they'd have changed them over that period of time? Well, the fact is, they haven't, there are no secrets; freemasonry is not a secret society.

Without freemasonry, there would be no USA, and the world would be a much different, and less free place; many of the great builders, thinkers, artists, etc. through history have been freemasonry.

It seems as though you have been fooled by the uneducated anti-masons and conspiracy theorists.

to some other responses

* the freemasons do not run the government

* many of the "founding fathers" of the USA were freemasons, without freemasons the Colonies would not have won the Revolutionary War, there would be no USA, Hitler would have succeeded and the world would be worse for it.

* the "secrets" of freemasonry have been exposed since at least 1720

Answer 9

h**l why not  - the government get away with it!

Answer 10

Why would they need to be exposed? I have spoken at length to many Masons and I can definitively say that there is nothing sinister going on when it comes to Freemasonry despite what some would have you believe. As for being outdated I don't believe that is the case. For something to be truly outdated it must be rendered obsolete. The Masons continue to provide valuable services to their communities and aid those who truly require assistance. I don't think one could call that obsolete. Does the world need secret societies? I don't suppose the world truly needs anything. The world doesn't need religion but that doesn't stop people from involving themselves with religious orders now does it?

Answer 11

The world does not need them, but the rich and powerful do need these groups to ensure they stay in control.
