>>19868397I was one a while back (haven't been to lodge regularly in 20 years).
It's more boring than shady. There are no mysteries of the universe. The meetings take two forms - initiations and business meetings. The business meetings aren't the business of running the world, but mostly about paying to keep the lights on and organizing the next initiation.
I suppose there's the Scottish Rite as well (the so-called "upper degrees"). Belonged to that too. It's just a bunch of morality plays. Got my 32nd Degree over the course of a few months and I'm no one special.
