Thank you for your response. I'm glad you found solace and safety. My brother was more active in the past. He was the president of his fraternity in college and I think he learned to play the social climbing game. He's very successful in business and the lodge he belongs to is a small, rural lodge. One window on their building is actually boarded. I've talked to him about it and he seems slightly amused. He is otherwise based and a non-practicing Christian, so I hope for the best. My grandfather died before I was born. He was also very successful and helped establish our family economically. I've always been very grateful for his efforts as I now live on land he purchased in the 1930s. His membership in the FM was not really known until after he died. He never spoke of it. He was a non-practicing Christian as well. I've prayed many times for and my brother and I hold out hope that, if they were aware of the Illuminati, they put the brakes on their involvement. I've never trusted fraternal organizations even though I looked up to my brother my whole life. I'm very glad your husband has had an open mind and I hope the these stories will someday be told: Stand alone with God and you will be safe! God bless you and yours.
