The vast majority of the "former high ranking members" have no evidence whatsoever of ever having membership. Believing them without such evidence is simply a simple position easy to take when the goal is to believe the worst of those you have not met.I prefer to go to sources telling the truth about the subject. Former High ranking members etc.
Again, you're like those saying we should learn about islam by talking to a couple of them instead of reading what the koran actually says.
Every bit of evidence that I have, everything that I know of Freemasonry, solidifies the continued belief that they are men, of strong, often different, religious beliefs, who work to make themselves better. Never once have I seen or had suggested in any format whatsoever that I deny my own beliefs to conform to another... Well never except after the meetings when they attempt to convert me to Christianity just as vehemently as you attempt to get people to believe that Freemasons in conjunction with Catholics are working with Jews to control the entire world. At least I understand their passion, they at least think that if I don't convert I'll lose my soul.... you, however just seem to want to spread sleaze on people you have never met and refuse to, preferring to believe whomever says that they are former mebers....
