Interesting -but a link would be nice. Are we supposed to take your word for it?

This is really silly and completely false. There are more fake anti-Masonic quotes in the United States than $100 bills. Masonry is a non-political, non-religious organization and always has been. Because certain things are not done in public, people make up all kinds of things to explain the closed doors. This is just silliness. Freemasons constitute one of the largest charitable organizations in the world. There is NO hidden agenda.

Do some research - many (and I mean MANY) of the higher level politicians/leaders and even several presidents were all part of the masons.
They serve a completely separate agenda, and not the people (as most people believe the government is there to do)

Wether or not Adams said it is debatable, and even if you had given a link, people would still question it.
There are other reasons people shouldn't join Freemasonry, such as the fact that it does not admit African Americans (and no, Scottish nor York Rite doesn't admit blacks, ask one!)
