I think you just have a lot of confusion. 1st off, as was said, you must already be a master mason in order to join the OES if you are a male. A
female just has to have a mason somewhere in her close lineage. A masonic bible is a KJV with some extras at the beginning. Just some cool pictures,
and some masonic prayers. It's the same book we have open in lodge. My advice is don't have any kids until you are mentally, physically, and
monetarily ready for them. They can and will take a toll on all three. They are the greatest gift God can give you, but they are much more than a
puppy. (IMHO)
I would say don't even worry about masonry unless you have a genuine interest in it. It take some work to become a master mason and if you don't
want to be there already, doing the work will make you resent the fraternity and that is not the idea at all. It's a great organization and can be
hugely fulfilling both spiritually and mentally. But you have to want to do it in order to get that kind of satisfaction out of it. If you have any
questions please ask any of us. Good luck.
