History Channel Documentary - Secret history of the Freemasons

In most cases these documentaries get it all wrong. The Masinic Lodge is a fraternity with secrets of initiation. But not a secret society. Cannot be secret if everyone knows about you.

Always a good topic of discussion PO1 William "Chip" Nagel

As a long-time Mason, I both enjoy and get very frustrated watching most of the Masonic programs on television. Most honestly try to do a good job of being objective (fundamentalist religious groups and programs excepted), but there is so much misinformation mixed in to most of the programs that it is difficult to get a real picture of the Fraternity without being a member. Even talking to someone who is a member is no guarantee. Most Masons do not know much about their own organization beyond the first three degrees. That's a teaspoonful of knowledge out of an ocean of information and learning potential. What a shame. You want the secrets of the initiations? Go to your public library. Most of it is there if you look for it.
