my grandma's stepfather was a 33rd degree freemason. from the vast amount of information about him (him being at one point the "Grand Plenipotentiary of North American Lodges") he appears to have been quite "normal," even by early 20th century writings that don't censor those things. The papers were quick to point out that his predecessor molested children (that is why he was excommunicated).

Is Freemasonry evil? Ask the same question of the jews, blacks, etc. Sure, some may be, but by and large the demographic is not. And the fact that GAW is this insanely hostile to logic and fact is just appalling. Critical thinking seems to have been taken over by blind hatred.
