IS there any advantage to becoming a Freemason?

Question

I always here that Freemasons are not supposed to show favor in court rooms or in Job searches etc. But since they seem to have an unusual loyalty to each other.... Don't they just do so anyway?

Answer 1

OK I do not know where you heard Freemasons are not supposed to show favor? Its quite the opposite.

But if you have to ask what advantages there are you Really shouldn't join it cheapens the fraternity.

Answer 2

Freemasons have a long, long history. Of course, they always have an advantage, don't ever think different. They cover each others ***. That is what they are suppose to do. It just so happens that Freemasons are the ones with the money and power. (ex: Presidents, judges etc...)

Answer 3

This is an interesting question. however, unless you are a freemason, you would just be guessing at the answer. and I doubt a freemason would admit to doing what you suggest, even if it were true. I dont think there is an answer to this question. When you are dealing with bias, one guess is as good as another.

Answer 4

RIZZA- I found what you have said very interesting and I wanted to ask you some more questions if you would not be put-off by it.

My father was a 32nd degree Freemason; I have no idea what that means of course. He died years ago. But I have a couple questions I've always wondered about but knew noboby I felt I could ask. Would you mind e-mailing me, so I can e-mail you, to talk to you about Freemason?
My e-mail is listed in my profile.

Answer 5

Freemasonry interferes neither with religion nor politics, but has for its foundation the great basic principles of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. No Atheist can be a Freemason.

Freemasonry strives to teach a man the duty he owes to God, his neighbor, and himself. It inculcates the practice of virtue, and makes an extensive use of symbolism in its teachings.

Freemasonry is not to be entered in the hope of personal gain or advancement. Admission must not be sought from mercenary or other unworthy motives. Any one so actuated will be bitterly disappointed. The aim of the true Freemason is to cultivate a brotherly feeling among men, and to help whomsoever he can.

Freemasonry is not a Benefit Society. They do not subscribe so much a year to entitle us to draw sick pay or other benefits, or to make provision for those who survive them. No man should enter the ranks of Freemasonry in hope or expectation that he will derive any financial benefit from it. Masonic Charity is directed towards those who, from unforeseen circumstances and through no fault of their own, have met with misfortune.

Loyalty to one's country is an essential qualification in Freemasonry, and only those are acceptable who cheerfully render obedience to every lawful authority. Disloyalty in any form is abhorrent to a Freemason, and is regarded as a serious Masonic offense.

Freemasonry has in all ages insisted that men should come to its doors entirely of their own free will, and not as a result of solicitations, or from feelings of curiosity, but simply from a favorable opinion of the Institution, and a desire to be ranked among its members.


Admission to their Craft will entail certain financial obligations which you should be able to discharge without detriment to yourself or those dependent on you. In addition to the fees and contributions payable on your entrance, there will be an annual subscription for the support of ytheLodge, and from time to time you may be called upon to contribute for the relief work connected with the Craft.

In the event that you are elected to receive the Degrees of Masonry, and this fact becomes known, you may be called upon by someone seeking to take advantage of that fact by attempting to sell you insurance in some form, a Bible with some Masonic information in it, or other books or items related to the Craft. Any and all such solicitations are completely without authorization and are in violation of our rules and regulations.

Answer 6

Yes. And they will come to your funeral when you die.
