You sound less like someone willing to learn than a person who is hellbent on a vendetta against Freemasonry.
I am not a member of the Jesters.
Most Shriners are not Jesters.
Most Freemasons are not Shriners.
Just because some Jesters do something wrong has absolutely nothing to do with Freemasonry as a whole. The Grand Lodges do not control the behavior (good or bad) of other organizations. At best, they can refuse to recognize some of them (such as the Jesters).
I could set up a organization tomorrow and call it the Polygamist Clowns of Pope Francis and limit membership to Knights of Columbus. Doesn’t mean the Knights of Columbus, the Pope, or the Catholic Church endorses the organization or polygamy.
Let go of your hate. It is misplaced.
There are some 20,000 plus members.
Their acts are of collusion and disgrace.
They will be put ti Masonic trial.
Believe me, after a trial they’ll be in plenty of pain while they endure their criminal trial, already shamed, their humiliation. of banishment will be made worse as their acts are brought to light.
Surely you don’t think some majority of that appendage body represents anything more than the sole responsibility. For their personal acts.
That doesn’t damn all of the jesters nor masonry any more than a few priests are emblamatic of the entire priesthood .
