A cult ? To say we are a cult , satanic or even out for world domination is a disgrace and a dishonor to all the great men who have come this way before us and all the great men who are members now . Such men as Ben Franklin , George Washington , Paul Revere , Marquis de Lafayette ,Mozart and many , many others .

People who thinks Freemasonry is a cult say this out of ignorance , spite , who looks for conspiracies around every corner , religious fervor or has been expelled from the fraternity and has a bone to pick .

Freemasonry is far more than "just a fraternity" . Freemasonry makes good men better , but more than that Freemasonry is a way of life . Masons are in search of truth and in finding truth we learn to better ourselves .We are taught a system of morality which we incorporate into our lives . Freemason's walk a different path , we love our countries and our God and abide by the laws laid down by both , we are more tolerant of other people and their beliefs . Freemasonry is a Brotherhood in which we watch out and take care of one another , if a Mason is in need , there will be a brother there to aid him . Being a freemason is what defines me , it is who I am . I am more conscious of my actions as not to embarrass myself , my family or my fratenity . Since becoming a Freemason I walk a little taller , stick my chest out a little further and I am more sure of myself . It is a descision I will never regret .

I could go on but I think this is enough . I pity those who think Freemasonry as a cult . They truely do not know what brotherhood is .
