 Sounds like a bunch of cult members who aren't allowed to think for 
 themselves... 
 "The order must *at once be obeyed*..." 
 "However inferior they may be..." 
  
 What sort of mentality tolerates these conditions? How does Free apply 
 to Free Masons when "an order must at once be obeyed"? What's free about 
 the free mason's? They sound like a bunch of automatons...doing what 
 they're told - without question. Accepting labels like "inferior"... Was 
 Hitler a free mason?
