If they find anything on your background checks, will the Masonic Lodge still let you join?? Or does it depend on what the guys decide themselves??

Depends on the magnitude of the blemishes and whether moral turpitude is involved. Computerized police record data goes back for arrests with or without convictions as early as the 1970s, so your shoplifting conviction, if that's what happens to concern you, would probably show up. Whether it would keep you out of the lodge would depend on the nature of the incident and a lot of other mitigating factors.

Masonic Lodge? That's invasion of privacy to let them in on such private information. Creepy, isn't it, like a secret CIA or something...and believe me, none of them are beyond reproach - my uncle was a mason and molested me as a child, yet still rests 'honorably' in a Masonic cemetary!

Some background checks only go back 7 years. Does that help?

If your a convicted felon, that's more than a blemish. You'll get in -they all need your money.

One man's blemish is another man's badge of honor.
