Masons link ‘problematic’

This news item has popped up from Norway. Yet another example of 'Craftaphobia' and selective telling of facts. The 'oaths' (or obligation as we actually call them) specifically says there "is nothing incompatible with your moral, civil or religious duties". Furthermore other obligations have specific caveats that exclude acts that are contrary to or subversive of good order in society.

I liked Thommessen definition... a "voluntary organization and called it “an environment for learning and personal development” in which he wished more people would get involved." Indeed, rather than subscribing to outdated and rather ridiculous superstitions, being a Freemason means one subscribes to values that are compatible with good citizenship behaviour.
