They will learn more about the true natureof the world, and, on the level to which their morality can accept or reject the degree of manipulation, they will ascend or stay put
A 32nd degree is on the fulcrum of stay-put or siding with the genocidal powers that really direct the world to their own ends
33 degree and above - you've really made it - everything is your due - you've really made it - f*** the common herd - you know you've got it coming to you and you've circumvented the law of karma
And because you know you've got it, so you will get it, no matter what the cost to the sheeple
Unless the sheeple understand you, and rise up and rip you apart (metaphorically speaking)

Rather like useless eaters?
Masons make a ritual out of useless prattle, dont they?

OK, so I have read through this thread, a quite few others - there seem to be a few here, and still no closer to reasons why Freemasonry suffers from this level of accusation. I find it quite surprising.
Is this quite prevalent elsewhere? Very interested to hear if this appears in the general community?
I'm not affiliated with Freemasonry, but after doing some research on this, having talked to a few, have come to the conclusion that generally, you can't meet a nicer bunch of "conspiracists".
Any organisation that understands and implements altruism in the way that it does, at the level that it does, without need for recognition of its actions - in fact in some circumstances secrecy, is unique and quite wonderful. Truly it is the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing, which is how the Galilean advised and certainly is for me is a sparkling light in Christianity. One heck of a conspiracy - please take over the world.. seriously. Yeah I know, probably not part of the Freemason agenda - but a nice thought for some. Truly you know a tree by its fruit.
I suppose there are historical reason, but that goes back a while and doesn't seem that relevant today. Most of the "religious decrees" used as arguments are old and seem based on the numbers game.
On religious lines, there are possibly more direct targets, promulgating alternative beliefs, whose views are certainly more at odds to those doing most of the IMO exaggerated and unfounded allegations. They don't seem to suffer from this level of attention - which is a good thing in itself - deny ignorance, encourage diversity - but on initial review seems inconsistent. Other secret societies are deserving of scrutiny.
Why suggest, as I have seen examples of, that someone is a Satanist to try and get an argument, when if you put a little effort into it you could probably find a real one with whom you can have a really good "discussion" with? Which both sides would probably quite enjoy.
Maybe because they are considered to be a "soft" target - looking at all the well tempered responses - much more patient, tolerant, and engaging than I would tend to be.
That's not necessarily soft if some were to take time think about it before launching into some of these unbalanced tirades.

Oh my, I was so wrong about them.
Now I understand why they pumped me full of reject 1960s medications and tricked me into attending an "assessment day" out in East Kent - it was for my own good!
Silly me.
Now I understand - lies and cowardice REALLY are the cornerstones of civilisation!
Its just a matter of "correcting" everyones perceptions so they will to.
Give me a break...
