Background: a friend told me a story about his friend who joined the Masons. His father, a Pentacostal pastor, gave his son an ultimatum: as long as you're a Mason, we're not speaking to you. Obviously, the son was distraught... long story short, he's out of the Masons and working things out with his dad.

BUT, the reason for my post is that there's obviously a lot of sentiment built up about the Masons. Without digging through a few thousand Google search results, does anyone have any good sites, either pro-Mason or anti-Mason, which are worth reading for someone with little knowledge of the group?
