My grandfather was a mason. And I'd stake my life on his decency and honor and compassion. Also, I once married a mormon and was part of the church for 5 years. A lot of terrific people in the church though much is hidden from them. But if you go through theough the temple marraige procedure as I did, wow do your eyes fly wide open... the rituals are directly from the freemason lodge. Even the 'do not reveal, under penalty of death' parts.
