Our friends and family know we are Masons. We have registered charities and bank accounts. The only real secrets are the passwords and handshakes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TurtleOnASkateboard@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
