It is clearly written that there is the inner circle and the outer circle that the inner circle recruits from. The outer circle thinks they are doing "good"..selling Shriner tickets to circuses and supporting the community and hospitals..while the inner circle is using 90% of that money to party, go on South American "fishing trips" (see Royal Jesters), and traffic women and children. My wifes Grandpa was awarded his 33rd degree about six months before he died at the age of 97 and had been a Mason since coming out of WWII. He was the outer circle. Notice that those with true world influence become 33 degree very quickly if not instantly, as in the case of Joseph Smith the founder of the Mormon Church, Lebron James, and most actors/athletes/musicians/entertainers/leaders of HUGE false churches. The more people you can help deceive, the higher the Mason "prestige". I've had to spend THOUSANDS of dollars buying up all the Freemason encyclopedias and writings of past Freemason leaders, just to be able to use their writings to plainly show my family of in-laws how this thing works. It's hard to argue against their very own writings and teachings. Know your enemy friends.
