If you decide to join the Masons, join it for reasons of your own. I joined it after Masonry skipped a generation and I only found out about my grandfather's involvement well after the fact. My grandfather died while my grandmother, my father and his sister were enroute to England by ship back in the day and his Lodge took care of the funeral necessities while the family was mid-Atlantic. IMHO, speaks volumes about the fraternity.

masons don't go door to door brainwashing people on bikes like mormons do.

Sorry if this is OT but I just had to point out the hilarity in that comment. Thank you for getting a laugh out of me today. I needed it.

And pigs might fly. Join Masonry for reasons that resonate for you. Do it because you want to contribute to society without garnering the temporal rewards.

you do know that it is easy to join the masons. and if some1 you know like in your family that was a mason will get u in easier.

It's not that hard to join at all. Here in California you have to be 18+, believe in a supreme being pretty much. Having a relative or someone you know doesn’t help its just more of reinforcement. Out of all the degree's we did last year or since I have been in masonry. We haven't "black balled" anyone yet. usually if someone doesn’t get in it is due to something of that of the candidates nature or do something really bad that cause's the brethren to think twice, but like I said, we have never black balled anyone. Last year in my lodge alone we did a degree almost every single Thursday of the year.

As far as the ritual goes due to the OP's message, it looks like it came from Duncan's Ritual which is a ritual book you can buy at any bookstore pretty much, which tells the degree's of masonry. The degrees and the nature of the degrees are not hidden. Pretty much everything in masonry is out there.

It isn't about the ease or lack thereof about joining but rather the awareness of it in the first place that's the challenge, a problem I'm sure that many are familiar with.

I joined easily enough some 7 years ago but it's the fact that it skipped a generation in my family (as I'm sure is not uncommon) that made knowledge of it problematic. That coupled with the fact that my Grandfather's Lodge has gone dark in the interim making acquiring additional information that much more of a challenge.

It's the fraternal component of Masonry that interested me initially and which interests me still.

Your Granny is an odd duck ! My Gran married my Grandfather because he WAS a Mason...character mattered to her.

Actually if a Lodge is doing it's work properly it is NOT particularly easy. At least not for just *anyone* We do not accept just anyone who walks up and knocks on the door. There are certain very specific requirements.

As for being a family member of a Mason, while that is taken under consideration, it doesn't matter if a persons father is the Grand Master of that State, if he's a convicted felon or an atheist, etc. he still will not be granted admission. (Or at least he's not supposed to be)

there are NO occult relations in the freemasonary and if anyone is wanting to join please seek another org. to belong to. To be to the point Masons help children like the shriners do and do. and if you like what the shriners are doing then I must say every shriner is a mason. you decide.

I do not believe Brother Lincoln was a Freemason. I could be wrong, and he may be on a roster somewhere but i'm pretty sure not. He did what he did knowing full well he may be splitting the country and end up giving up his own life to do what was right. He did what was right, and it cost him his life. No greater deed than giving you own life for another. Least that is what Jesus said.

He was a great man and should not be slandered by idiots.

most people find fault with the masons because they don't understand us.
nor do they realize the good we put into the world. our charities are far greater then any other orginization. most of you don't realize that the shriners are masons.
also freemasonry does not conflict in your belief in god.(whatever religion you are)
freemasons founded this country and helped provide every us citizen the rights and freedoms we all have today. our organization will never die.
so the world needs to learn to deal with the fact we exist and instead of critizising us find out how you can helps us make a differance in this world.

I found this while doing a little research about the masons, don't know for sure if this is real, but it seems legit. It includes a breakdown of ranks, some of there rules, how they work etc. One thing I did notice is that the wrighting style is much like that of our Bill of Rights. (It contains lots of long, run-on sentances)

According to this, the password for the masons is

truth is one thing but you have to understand that to build brotherhood and trust amongst people secrets are neccisary. to expose secrets is to undermine the people who wish to have a trust and felolowship with those who have the same knowledge as them. to keep secrets is to build trust amongst a group.
