Freemasonry is an oath bound fraternal order of men which derives from the medieval fraternity of Freemasonry. We adhere to many of the Ancient Charges, laws, customs and legends of operative Freemasonry. We are loyal to the civilian government under which we exist. We inculcate moral and social virtues by symbolic application of the operative stonemasons' working tools and by allegories, lectures and charges. Freemasonry obligates its members to obey the principles of brotherly love, equality, mutual aid, secrecy and confidence. We have secret modes of recognition that permit members to recognize each other as brothers. We require a through examination into the mental, moral and physical qualifications of a petitioner and we admit men into the fraternity by secret ceremonies based in part on legends of the Craft.

Once a person has decided to apply for membership he fills out a petition signed by 2 members of the Lodge he desires to join. He gives the petition to one of the members along with the required initiation fee. The petition is read at the next stated meeting when the Worshipful Master will appoint an investigating committee who will interview the petitioner in person. the investigating committee will report back to Lodge at the following stated meeting when all the members present will be able to vote on the petitioner. Once the petitioner is accepted he is given the three degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason. There are certain requirements a candidate must meet before proceeding from one degree to the next.

One must obtain the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason before he can wear any Masonic jewelry. One must have a Belief in a Supreme Being. The tenets of the Masonic Fraternity are
" Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. " The Masonic Fraternity is NOT a Secret Society but rather a Society With Secrets. No matter what one has heard the Masonic Fraternity is NOT Satanic in nature and HOLY BOOKS play an important part in the Masonic Fraternity.

Suggest if you are interested in pursuing interest in the Masonic Fraternity and are over the age of 18 you contact a man whom you know to be a Mason for further information and an application. If you are under 18 suggest you inquire about the DeMoley Organization.

If no local Masonic Lodge is available then please contact the Grand Lodge of Masons in the State you reside in.

My grandfather was a 33rd degree freemason in the Scottish Rite. He was a good man, and the freemasons are just a fraternal organization. There is nothing nefarious about the freemasons.

Answer 4

I don't have to, or want to do, any research.

They have no credibility in the face of public scrutiny, they're ugly, immature, and suck with the prowess of a 9 year old vietnamese prostitute.

Why don't you get out of your cute little smoke-filled tree house stocked with Amway products and ask what the country thinks of you first hand?

BTW if you're not a mason, sorry : )

Answer 5

I just watched a show on the discovery channel about this yesterday. From what I can tell they just seem to be like a club for grown men and in some areas women. Nothing more.

Answer 6

They have cool headstones in the cemetery
