[quote:Anonymous Coward 12615535:MV8yMzEwMDExXzM5MzU1MDk3X0IyREQ0NzM4] [quote:Septenary Spirals:MV8yMzEwMDExXzM5MzU1MDA1XzhEMTE5RDVE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 12615535:MV8yMzEwMDExXzM5MzU0NDQ4XzI4NzlFQjVE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1352340:MV8yMzEwMDExXzM5MzU0MzkzX0Y0QTVBMUQ=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 12615535:MV8yMzEwMDExXzMxRDU2QkEy] I spoke with a first degree Freemason who admitted that he knew very little about the degrees above him (especially the highest degrees) and he admitted that many 33rd degree masons were totally corrupt and evil but he "knew" that Freemasonry was a good society overall... Simple question: How is it possible that Freemasons [b]KNOW[/b] that the [u]secret[/u] degrees above them are [b]GOOD[/b] and that Freemasonry is a [u]good society overall[/u]? (According to my experience and research there are many Masons who would say exactly what that what the guy I spoke to said.) My opinion is that you don't know what anything is above you in Freemasonry until you get there because it's a secret! That's simple logic that's irrefutable. [/quote] That's easy. Because as you join the organization and work through the degrees you experience first hand the brotherhood and it's good work. You volunteer for various charity organizations, you attend various social events, you approach every person as a free and independent human of equal value and worth. You help your fellow man and fellow brothers however possible and necessary. You recognize yourself as one person, created by God, who's worth and value is measured by what you give back, not by what you take. Easy enough, huh? :Idol1: [/quote] Not at all because many researchers say that the lower degrees are there for a show in order to protect the nefarious actions of the higher degrees. Let me repeat: You don't know what anything is above you in Freemasonry until you get there because it's a secret! Anyone who says otherwise is being disingenuous at best. [/quote] So you admit that you know nothing of it being 'evil' or bad or anything, cause it's a secret. You speak of these researchers. Are they 33rd degree masons like you are requiring of these posters for 'proof'? You are biased, and are getting fair answers, but refuse to believe these posters because of your bias. You do not want the truth, you only see what you want to see. In other words, a troll thread. [/quote] I'm looking for someone to actually explain the answer to my question in the original post or if my logic is wrong in the statement below then show me how and why it's wrong and I'll happily go do something else. If you can refute this then I'll stop posting in this thread: You don't know what anything is above you in Freemasonry until you get there because it's a secret. [/quote]

Simple question:
How is it possible that Freemasons
KNOW
that the
secret
degrees above them are
GOOD
and that Freemasonry is a
good society overall
? (According to my experience and research there are many Masons who would say exactly what that what the guy I spoke to said.)
My opinion is that you don't know what anything is above you in Freemasonry until you get there because it's a secret! That's simple logic that's irrefutable.
