I was a Free Mason for a while. Yes, there are some odd customs, secret handshakes and passwords, but no, if you're a criminal you're not allowed in.

I have some shots of the Lodge in Boston from way back in 2003, must dig them out and post them! I’m going to scare you a little more. I was a Free Mason for a while.
