I know that
1. men and women can and do become Masons (that is called Co-Masonry).
2. you have to ask to join. They do not recruit.
3. their secrets are mostly open ones about passwords and grips.
4. their real secrets are about how they transform lead into gold.
5. the lead they transform into gold is a metaphor for transforming the heart
6. they become successful because they become trustable.
7. they perform ritual without dogma, learn without teachers
8. they sometimes answer questions up at Yahoo Answers
9. can be found at the link below

What is a mason? A builder.
A Builder of what? Only time will tell. Each builder may have a blue print of their own but all together of course there is a blue print same as a society,town etc.
Why do we need to build? etc etc etc
When we build we move forward we combine ideas we go though trils and tribulations. Some buildings will fall and we learn from the mistakes but it is all in effort of building that one master piece.
Take teh pyramid ot had to be so spot on to work or it would crumble. However the pyramid still shows signs of wear from wind and sand,etc so we continue to try to find that blueprint of what will work. What is the best blueprint and should we as man be lookingin the first place? Is it out place to seek such blueprints?
This is the problem of people saying "trying to be God" versus "doing god's work".

I know Jesus was a mason, or atleast that's what people say. I guess it's more a myth.......I don't know a whole lot about masons, just rumors. Some people call them a cult too.

It's a club, like Kiwanis or Rotory, but more full of themselves.
A number of the 'founding fathers' were freemasons.
Why?
