I'm a Freemason. To be one you must believe in a Diety. Within the lodge, we are required to respect each others relegious and political beliefs. Whatever they are. We require this so that we can come together in peace since differences in relegious and political opinion have caused much strife throughout history. I'm proud to be a part of it personally, since we have found ways to come together to contribute in charitable ways to society. What is your impression of Freemasonry?

They do a lot of good. There origins go back to the buidling of Solomon's temple. Not only do they help one another, they support the Shriner's hospitals for burned and crippled children and treat them at no charge if the family cannot pay. The US government has not been able to figure out how to do that!

Are you in a fraternity/sorority? If now not, good I bet I have slightly explaining to do. If you have ever watched Ramboo (first blood) or black hawk down, Ramboo and Sgt. hoot had a traditional notion that they voiced out in the direction of the tip and that i quote " People will under no circumstances realise why we do it." its the equal with fraternities folks under no circumstances quite realise why we do the matters we do, why? good obviously they have under no circumstances quite been there and performed that, they dont realise the folks, and the traditions that folks suffer to go into, they dont recognise the sensation that you just believe after having undertaken the struggles, to be exact they dont believe the importance of the rate being paid they only suppose they do. appear it up in a latin dictionary Frater/ Fratris - latin phrase of brother. after which placed away the daydream hazings ask your self what do brothers do. A man or woman who has under no circumstances been in a fraternity must now not receive the proper to sentence themit since they dont quite realise it that so much. I could similar to to factor out that regardless of there's a skinny line among an institution being a fraternity or gang organization, there's nonetheless a line.Going again to the subject whether or not to inspire or condemn those businesses, good I suppose that we're already an excessively civilized society with the suitable requirements, legislation and all approach neccessary to make sure peace and order, so I say simply go away the fraternities on my own, I used the phrase fraternities to mention that they're man or woman agencies now not as a complete, if a Frat crosses the road, they pass it, punish them, now not the complete frame of frats guys and ladies, no one joined any institution to appear unhealthy, and each frat needs a well identify, and each frat has their through-legislation besides, so in the event that they wish to have a well repute and permit their frat to reside lengthy and preserve current in a society/group then that could be as much as them, how they manage their contributors. however I say it once more Nobody needs to appear unhealthy, frequently it simply turns out like that. I could love to shout out to all fratsmen and ladies available in the market something frat you'll be that we're all brods and sis in recommendations and ideals we could all simply recall that we're contributors of Fraternities, Sororities,and Frasorities, now not gangs. we could preserve it that manner.

If you were TRULY a freemason, you wouldn't be talking about it.
don't they have to take a vow of secrecy?
Edit: I stand corrected. Thank you for enlightening us. It sounds like a great group to be a part of.
