by W. Bruce Pruitt The three basic tenants of Freemasonry are Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. Except for religious bodies, it is the oldest organization known dedicated to encouraging brotherhood, support of family, and relief of want. In spite of these objectives, the Masonic Lodge has been misunderstood and criticized by some individuals as being a cult, anti-religious, politically motivated, and a selfish conspiracy. This book investigates the various arguments posed by Masonic critics and provides logical answers that clearly refute all those ideas. It will be valuable for both members of the craft and those who still have doubts about the merits of the fraternity. ABOUT THE AUTHOR W.
