[Tig] Don't know where this statement comes from, but it sounds like someone who is disaffected by past experiences with Masons. As the statement alludes, Masonry is not a "secret society," but a society with secrets. Some historians feel that Masonry grew out of the need for secrecy during the suppression of the Knights Templar, when exposure meant torture and death. As for a "family man" spending "far too much time" on the Craft, his Brothers will counsel him to spend the time he needs, but not to the exclusion of his family.
