Freemasonry is an easy target for conspiracy theorists. Our meetings are held in private and our members often allude to secrets and mysteries. Any attempt on our part to clairify anything is held in the eyes of the conspiracy theorist as an attempt to further hide the truth.... Some of these people are driven by proffit, possing as ex-masons and then writing books of falshoods while giving themselves and air of credibility. I for one just ignore it and if someone approaches me about it give them an overview of the craft and point them toward correct information.
