Many of the claims that detractors of Freemasonry fail to take into account an enduring truth about the fraternity: that no one individual, Lodge, or Grand Lodge speaks for Masonry as a whole. There is no central authority for Freemasonry.

So how does one find out about Masonry? The only truly accurate sources of knowledge regarding Masonry's effects and benefits are the men who are Masons themselves. To provide insight into these matters, this page and those that link from it are made up of the words of the Masons of Madison Lodge No. 5. By no means will all the members be listed here; this page is too new for that, and many members are not yet "web-enabled". But we will make space for all those members who wish to make comments. If you're a Lodge 5 member, please send your comments to madison5@iname.com, and we'll post them here. The links below will branch to pages where our Brothers' words appear.
