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.

My Uncle is a Blue Lodge Mason. Has some amazing skills and hobbies. Was an architect and designed major medical centers.
His main hobby is restoring rare tools from hundreds of years ago and then he uses them to do custom woodworking. Super complex kitchen islands, cabinets, etc. he delivered an island to my mom that was in 8 sections so it could fit through her door and when he assembled it the tolerances were like nothing - everything fit perfectly. It was insanely impressive. He was joking that when he dies the only way to get the damned thing out of that house would be to pay someone to chainsaw it.
Anyway he made me promise not to become a mason. He said that once you do they have access to your banking, your transactions, approve your purchases, and even decide who you marry. He described the brothers being more atop you than a sponsor in AA. That once you are in you can’t leave as they really do have control over your finances and largely also your mortgage etc.
Wow, this is the first I have heard of this
Honestly - it could be a Blue Lodge thing. I’m honestly not even %100 on the significance of the term.
Whoa.
I guess that means he didn’t get super involved?
