I purchased an old Masonic temple just as an investment and after doing so I was asked to go to one of their inductions. I owned several other commercial buildings and residential properties. I didn't know too much about them at the time but now I'm glad I declined there invitation. One of our top sheriffs was part of their group along with several other people in high positions. They are very friendly with you until you turn them down and then they will take everything away from you.
