    To my personal knowledge of them, just a bunch of businessmen who jerk each other off basically.

    If one freemason owns a business, and another finds out they do and they also have a business - there will be some sort of service from one company or the other so they can make each other money. Basically, they just support members and will give them preferential treatment over someone they don’t know.

        My dad was in the masons in three different countries. Locally they sponsored a few college scholarships and nationally they are best known for their hospitals.

        Both parents were in a sister organization called the Order of the Eastern Star. None of the kids had any interest in either.
