I keep reading how freemasons are evil and do horrible things. Yet I grew up with masons. I'm not evil, nor do I do horrible things. So, being new, and open minded. I would like to have a civilized discussion about the freemasons! And remember. I come from family members whom are passed now, but, were. Masons. I'm open to here. Thank you.

It's silly to think it's an organization that doesn't have varying levels of authority and execution throughout. To suggest that one has to be 33rd to have the esoteric knowledge revealed is
Easily foiled by them - simply bring someone completely on the exoteric side to the 33rd degree. Have them be a practicing _____ian at that. Bring 15 in and you make an entire sect of "innocent" 33rds that know nothing esoteric and only build hospitals.
All managers and no workers.
A narrow pipeline of applicants. Meaning that it takes so much to get up to 33rd degree, that people you would want in your organization would lose interest.
Not in keeping with the general idea of all hermetic/mystery organizations - Interested parties are indoctrinated through various exercises as early as possible to establish their foundational views/you wipe their foundational views (bootcamp), knowledge is slowly revealed to add to its grandeur (Even if it's not true/important the one ingesting it believes it so), eventually you believe that it's just about "god" being inside of everyone and everything and you have to maintain the balance. Yadda yadda yadda, it's all kabbalah.
There will be tests throughout, they will see if you are predisposed to being on their team. There is most likely a grooming set-up as well as a legacy set-up.
It's not the people at "The Top" only, they have existed generationally and have their own indoctrinations to grow good insiders.
Everything they do is convoluted, it's how they keep their secrets, its why they build up the exoteric facade. I'm not sure which part you are referencing as babbling.
