Agreed , nice answer RoughAshlar . Even before I intertained the thought of becoming a Mason , I never gave any credence to these outlandish theories .Then again , I don't see conspiracies around every corner . Many think we are out for world domination because of the secrecy , if that's they case , I better keep an eye on the neighbor children's secret clubhouse in the woods behind my house seeing how they have secret knocks and passwords . I bet there hiding the Templar Treasure .
We had a 30 minute discussion on what color to paint the kitchen in our lodge and and then another 10 minutes on who was going to paint it . How are we able to keep all these secrets and take over the world if we have so much trouble getting the kitchen painted ?
