I don't know much about the masons, but i do know it originated from the ancient Rosicrucians. I believe there was some sort of underground war
between the technocracy and the Rosicrucians during medevil times. The Rosicrucians were nearly destroyed, many people left the order, others created
other sects. The Freemasons, and illuminati are two of those sects...there's others still around but these are the two major ones.
If the freemasons are anything like the rosicrucians are today then they're the good guys. Rosicrucianism is just a religion based off of other
religions... Although they aren't your average sunday church goers...you ever see someone that can make stuff fly across the room? The laws of
physics no longer apply once you reach the seventh step of jacobs latter. But that's to crazy to believe right? haha

wow how weird is that?
luckily my lodge has had a steady string of 3rd degrees conferred at least once a month this year.
alot of people are in the Freemasons after WW II it was so popular the lodges (especially mine) had so many candidates they had 2-3 ceremonies every
weekend to deal with the need.
membership has thus declined and it is more and more rare- this is why you don't know of many- or of many shriners...
and the 4th-33rd degrees in the Scottish rite or any Knights Templar of the York...
i am joining the Shrine this June! Hooray! it should be good...
i am doing the York rites later as well as a few degrees in the Scottish I missed (they weren't staged last time...)
there is no mystery or smokey rooms or secret army- it is really a big miss understanding, and thankfully those of us who are members happen to
understand and know the real story of Masonry. I like the interest I have seen in these boards, but man it is overwhelming the thoughts and suspicion
surrounding this.

i am a 32 degree master mason, and a shriner, and an officer in my lodge and on the temple board for my lodge and I'm only 19 and have been a mason
for a year and a half now. I'm looking forward to joining York Rite soon when i get the time and chance to do so. from what i know about masonry its
just a spiritual path that one can undertake (imo of course) and as i have said before freemasonry is subjective in nature and you get what you want
out of it. For the time being
i don't intend on becoming a 33rd at moment maybe when I'm older and have more time to get down to the Scottish Rite Center and do some activities
will i be able to get my "honorary" new cap. for the time being I'm just concentrating on blue lodge by growing through the line and becoming
master of my lodge in the future and also working at the Shrine and shrine club that we have once a month.

I am not a mason but I guess they surround me like flies (all due respect)!  Here are a few examples:
- My great grandfather
- My girlfriend's mom's ex boss (moved and quit the company). I think his sons also are. The mom used to frequent the lodge to play bingo.
- The father of a friend of my sister's
Getting them here would be unlikely (gg is dead).

I am a Free Mason, I'm a 3rd degree Master Mason, I will be going for my 32nd degree this summer. How do you become a mason ?, "Just ask" But
be ready to be investigated, As far as the other stuff, True Masons don't talk,
