> [@WeRSauron](#): > > I should admit I was wrong: it is possible for people to recruit Masons. However, no one has hijacked Freemasonry - yet, at least. Nor is it likely to ever occur, and here’s why… At my Lodge, we recently blackballed a potential candidate based on what some questioned regarding his religion. His faith, according to some, does not admit to a Supreme Being. Some brothers feared inflitration and take-overs by members of this cult-like group. But it’s impossible. It only takes _one_ cube to prevent a man from joining. ONE. Had the candidate in question became a brother, and then tried to get other members of his cult to join, the other Masons would see what was happening and drop a cube, thus preventing any coup. That’s the power of membership. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lovingly-dedicated-to-anti-masonic-tin-foil-hat-or-skullcap-wearers/280931.md?page=6)
