Broad brush judgments are seldom correct. Doesn't take much effort to make absolutist claims without sauce. Sometimes groups are secret bc there is danger. (And BTW, why are you posting on a board that is anon in part bc of that very concern?)

Yes. Some people work from within the system and some from without. So true about POTUS--he has to mingle with some pretty unpleasant leaders. He can't just say "They're monsters!" He has to find a way to work--and does.

Re "All Masons are bad"
Same as "All jews are bad", etc.
As soon as you say "All," you've lied. Coz i've been in some pretty dark places and there are always good people there, too. May be how God works his will--like Jesus hanging out with the bad people of his day. They were the ones that needed changing, so that's where he was!

Truth is subtle, and always nuanced. But that's a discovery each has to make for himself.

Peace, o7.
