LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY swisscelt)
Two events recently in the news have "shown a spotlight" upon the Free & Accepted Masons, which is most properly termed a confederation of fraternal organizations dating back at least to 1717. Unfortunately, there has been much misreporting on the nature of Freemasonry. Most of it, no doubt, is unintentional; the product of ignorance of an organization to which many in previous generations, but few of my generation, have sought membership. Some of it, I suspect, is deliberate.
Before I proceed, I'd like to dispel some of the myths I've seen recently reported as news. If you're not familiar with Freemasonry, please ( take a minute to review some notes I've prepared on my personal journal. )
( And now, the anti-Masonic conspiracy. )
Anti-Semitism takes many forms. It is saddening, and perhaps ironic, that one notable such form is the propaganda levelled against a worldwide fraternal organization which has welcomed Jews, Christians, Muslims, and many others alike with opened arms.
