      The halls are visible to the public. Our friends and family know we are Masons. We have registered charities and bank accounts. The only real secrets are the passwords and handshakes.

        I suppose you’re based in the US? In most EU countries it’s all more secretive. But yeah, Freemasons got murdered during WWII so they aren’t to blame.

          Most EU countries weren’t in the Axis.

          Search ‘freemason hall [city]’ if you don’t believe me: it’s all out in the open.

            I’m from Belgium. We were occupied and freemasons were deported.

            A few years ago they tried to make MP’s who were freemasons to make it public and lots of MP’s objected.

            I know about the freemasons halls in my surroundings they are listed in the internet, indeed.

            To be fair, I was kind of joking but I see how you don’t find it funny. I didn’t mean to troll.
