Masons lay bricks. They work with cement, mortar and formed bricks of any type.

Freemasons or the Masonic organization is a Fraternal Brotherhood that does charitable and philanpthropic work for those within and without their orgnaization. Higher up Masons (they are rated in degrees with George Bush's father a 31 or 33 degree Mason) are expected to donate a fair chuck of money for such work each year.

I look at some of these answers and omg hilarious is all I can say.Masons are not and I repeat not of the mob.They do not kill or steal or anything Illegal.they are indeed a very good group of men whom if you needed by gosh they will help you.It yes is a secret organization but so is the Eastern Star.If it wasn't for the start of this group we would not have the Shriner's therefore,we would not have the children's hosp. that I may add is almost free.If you don't know the facts about the Masons I suggest you read up on "Realistic" books written by Masons themselves.These men help not harm our society.

Masonic orders are various fraternal organizations or "clubs". Since they are secret and you have to be voted in and someone in your family has to have been one to get in it breeds a bit of paranoia. They started off as more more upper class clubs and there is some evidence that they were important meeting grounds for planning the American revolution.

My Dad and Grandfather were Masons. My Dad arrived at the highest degree and didn't get to control the world. On the contrary. And, now there are many poor people who join. If they do control the world it is at secret higher levels which the average mason never knows about.

I was a member of the Rainbow girls and Eastern Star for women and mostly it was a boring mix of Bible, memory book which was Biblical or related to that; Hymns and with a few things thrown in that look like Wicca. I found Church a lot more fun.

You can get some of the so called secret books of the Masons at used bookstores (and in some cases new). Of course, there are "secrets" which are supposed to be passed on by word of mouth. For the women these weren't very interesting just something to memorize.

I was fascinated at first but it got boring really fast and missing supper for meetings was hard on my health.

When it was really most popular in the 1950s I'm sure many were hurt for not getting into power. I think most people must join now for a sense of importance because everyone gets a chance to feel important as "officers" and gets to get up and introduce themselves at the big meetings. And, everyone wants to be able to feel important.

My Mom refused to join Eastern Star in the 1950s or 60s when my Dad joined because she thought it was mostly uneducated women and was more interested in some sort of "professional" club since she held a Masters.

While they are supposed to be honest and up-standing citizens I know of one poor lady who stole from her work to keep her Eastern Star lifestyle going. She was having a hard time in her life and it was the only thing "good" she had. The dresses (for women) and conventions can get costly though membership is cheap. But, she had a chance to steal from me (I gave her a blank check by accident) and did not!

After you read the history you will be interested by the fact that I saw the famed Masonic triangle with an eye in it found on some US currency right in the center of the Cathedral in Constance, Germany!

From a Masonic web site (Grand Lodge of Virginia - probably the oldest or one of the oldest):
Who Are The Masons?
Masons (also known as Freemasons) belong to the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world. Today, there are more than two million Freemasons in North America. Masons represent virtually every occupation and profession, yet within the Fraternity, all meet as equals. Masons come from diverse political ideologies, yet meet as friends. Masons come from varied religious beliefs and creeds, yet all believe in one God.

Many of North America's early patriots were Freemasons. Thirteen signers of the Constitution and fourteen Presidents of the United States, including George Washington, were Masons. In Canada, the Father of the Confederation, Sir John A. MacDonald, was a Mason, as were other early Canadian and American leaders.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Freemasonry is how so many men, from so many different walks of life, can meet together in peace, always conducting their affairs in harmony and friendship and calling each other "Brother."

What Is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry (or Masonry) is dedicated to the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of God. It uses the tools and implements of ancient architectural craftsmen symbolically in a system of instruction designed to build character and moral values in its members. Its singular purpose is to make good men better. Its bonds of friendship, compassion, and brotherly love have survived even the most divisive political, military, and religious conflicts through the centuries. Freemasonry is a fraternity which encourages its members to practice the faith of their personal acceptance. Masonry teaches that each person, through self-improvement and helping others, has an obligation to make a difference for good in the world.

Where Did Freemasonry Begin?
No one knows just how old Freemasonry is because the actual origins have been lost in time. Most scholars believe Masonry arose from the guilds of stonemasons who built the majestic castles and cathedrals of the middle ages. In 1717, Masonry created a formal organization when four Lodges in London joined in forming England's first Grand Lodge. By 1731, when Benjamin Franklin joined the Fraternity, there were already several Lodges in the Colonies, and in Canada the first Lodge was established in 1738.

Today, Masonic Lodges are found in almost every community throughout North America, and in large cities there are usually several Lodges.

A Mason can travel to almost any country in the world and find a Masonic Lodge where he will be welcomed as a "Brother."

They are a secret society, who have historically been known to kill, steal, etc. They basically are a more tolerated form of the mob. Never trust a freemason, they are pure evil!
