Why do you all think that Albert Pike is the expert on EVERYTHING Freemason. His writings pertains only to the Scottish Rite. If all the crosses are supposed to be slanted then what about this:

I agree Ksig. Pike is not the ultimate authority on the subject in a contemporary sense. An active lodge is a better source, in my experience.

What does it matter that the OES is made up of women and old ladies? Actually, the more you describe it, the more it seems like some kind of a cult.

My wife is a OES member. Damn though, I didnt know she was in a cult!!! Should I be worried for her?

You seem to know EVERYTHING there is to know about freemasonry and related subjects, you even know more than masons! Your vast knowledge of freemasonry really amazes me. This is not sarcasm. .

It's not that I know more than the Masons, it's that the Mason are in denial, and it's a real shame.

That's about what most country lodge halls look like. Most lodges have precious little money, and as long as it has lights a place to do work and simple tables to eat with your brothers and share fellowship that is all that is needed. Only in the Cities to Lodges get the marble and grand displays and only then when they did so 60 plus years ago, as even those lodges are having a hard type keeping the lights on.

That's sad and really arrogant. Real life experience always trumps second hand information.

The "real life" of a member of any secret society is lived in vain, I'm afraid.

I don't know that anyone here is specifically familiar with Masonry in Nevada. The Grand Lodge of Nevada website and the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Nevada website both have lists of the lodges, so you might find the one closest to you, or that meets on a night when you're free, and go down, introduce yourself, and have dinner with some of the guys and see if it's a group that you could get to liking.
