It is literally just a club. They do a hell of a lot of charity events and such, they're not some underground cult of devil worshippers in any way like some people like to think. The only "secrets" they have are the handshakes and in some cases passwords which are kept only to enhance the feeling of inclusion and not as anything malicious, and most of them you could probably find out in various books and such on them anyway because people seem to like "uncovering" them.

They most certainly do not run governments (although government members are of course allowed to join if they meet the requirements) and in fact the only two topics of discussion not allowed at their meetings are politics and religion, which totally throws that idea out the window.

WOW, that has really cleared it up. I still don't know what the necklaces mean like.

They know many, many secrets. My uncle was a mason. I read some of his books after he died, even though I wasn't supposed to, not being a mason myself. Very interesting stuff. They stick together - they paid for a private room in a hospital while he was ill. Those who reveal the secrets have "mysteriously" ended up dead.

That's what you'd like to think, but try knowing a mason before you pass judgement.

Bugger all seeing as how the only secrets are the initiation rituals and handshakes lol, I haven't asked what they are because it spoils the fun of it anyway and I could just read a book about it if I wanted to find out that much (meant to be 21 I think but a son of a mason can enter at 18 if they really feel like it)

I mean yeah you get assassinated and then Dan Brown writes a book about it

Kinda yeah, they do a fair few dinner events and as far as I'm aware a lot of the money they make that isn't needed for maintenance goes to various charities

We'll see who's laughing when everyone is dieing from poisonous oysters.
Besides, that's only like a bit of Kent, it's not like the whole of it is obsessed with them

You don't have to be a business leader but it's mainly higher-ups and rich people. FlyingJesus' description was perfect though, from what I've heard about them anyway.
