Is it anything like the "Moose" (Lodge), which I am a member of. Freemason's are a secret society that's not all that secret. There's a lot of debate as to what the real agenda of freemason's are. Some say they are christians, some say they are a satanic cult and so on... Way back in the day, there were Knights Templar, they were protectors of the land and supposedly, a french king decided to wipe them out because they became too powerful. A few survivors were supposed to have fled to Scotland and hid, then forming the Freemasons. Basically, the Freemasons are a network of people that look out for each other, you have a secret handshake and secret passwords etc... There have been alot of scandals involving Freemasons as well. In England, some judges were supposedly letting mason criminals off the hook for crimes and so on. Supposedly if a freemason cop pulls you over, you can "use the secret sign" to identify yourself and you wont get a ticket and so on.... The movie "From Hell" was about Jack the Ripper being a Freemason, they actually show a mason initiation in the movie. My grandfather was pretty high up in the Freemasons but he died when I was 6. I remember it being important to him though. My brother is actually going through joining now, and of course he wants me to join, so I'm thinking about it.

codeorama Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 Kilmer, I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it. Networking is a tremendously important thing, everything in this world is about who you know. Here's a couple of websites if you want to see some of the "secrets"...lol Http://freemasonwatch.freepress-freespeech.com/secrets.html www.freedomdomain.com/freemasons.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Last time I looked this was still America so join if it makes you happy. It's also ok to not join. Are you so willing to submit to the will of others to become a part of something for a perceived benefit that may or may not manifest itself?

addicted Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Then watch a movie, or go to a lodge and find out for yourself. Freemasonry is not a cult, it's not a religion, it is a mens faternity.

Destino Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 If you are thinking about joining find a lodge that you think you might like. Contact them and ask if you can attend open event because you think you might like to join. Meet the members and see what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
