Comment on FreeMason Conspiracy Theories by Alex Rigby.

I am an ex mason (but i am not about to run down the craft.)
I belonged to 2 craft lodges, knights templar, rose croix, royal arch, mark, ark mariners and secret monitor. So i think i have some idea about what goes on.

Drawing on the comments of others: there is no class system. There is a system of rank. Basically, we all start as the lowest (but still equal among men) and are rewarded with rank acording to our efforts and service (usually to each other, the craft in general and to charity)

I can honestly say that i never was threatened regarding my soul, never striped to my underwear and never witnessed any devil worship.

If you are looking for consipracy or corruption: look in any organisation from the dawn of time. There will always be some who tar the rest of us. This is true of religious organisations, political parties and private orgaisations. Read George Orwell!

so why did i leave: my 4 children and disabled wife needed me at home far more. Ironic as this would be the very decsion that freemasons would respect and admire the most.
