if you are going to join them to spy for those interested in information......DON'T join!


While most often believe this is something they would do... it is always the case that after the "Experience of thhe 1st Degree"... they repent.
So... he should join as I believe it is not manliness of him to know they exist and refuse to join for the purpose of assisting them in their craft(s)...
Also... Once he becomes one he will most definitely learn to do: "I Am Here To Make Sure That What Happened To Hiram Abif Does Not Happen Again! EVER!"
Yay!

The "2B1ASK1" means if you'd like to join, just ask. Seems pretty straight forward.

Right. I'm referring to the inconsistency of Freemasonry claiming they don't recruit, the only way to join is to ask, yet I've seen many claims of recruitment, even amongst Freemasons themselves.

I get the feeling you are intelligent enough to have understood this the first time around. Why is it so freaking difficult to have an honest, straightforward conversation with a Mason?

It varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but most don't allow for recruiting events.

My post was aiming for clarification. If you had posted this post the first time there wouldn't be any confusion.

By recruiting events do you also mean recruitment attempts for individuals outside of "recruiting events"? To me, an event sounds like setting up a booth at a fair or something, recruiting an individual would be a more private and nonpublic affair.

I do mean any type of recruiting, whether its a booth or an individual, public or private.

I think I can explain this. We are not supposed to recruit. We are not supposed to ask people to join. As we all know, it can happen.

The recruitment functions are to explain what masonry is and answer questions to people who might have them. The ones with questions are the ones who might ask to join.
