When hyperbolic terms such as "moral rot" are used, credibility suffers.
It takes some temerity, if not arrogance, to criticize a system celebrating its 300th anniversary. Is it perfect? No man made system is. The logical weakness is that each of the allegations made toward the GL system is equally applicable toward an individual lodge system : moral rot, apron chasing, charity rather initiatory system....
When psychobabble begins, supported by the speaker's self-laudatory references to his, umm, holistic health business, we do understand his orientation and the manipulative background he brings with him.
It is my sense that such groups (GOOFUS was an example), are often commenced by individuals who may be personality disordered and those who are easily manipulated. For the same reason, they are often short lived.
But I have no strong feelings.
I am curious where this was filmed.
