Masonry is something that will take up one or two evenings a month once you are a master mason. You have a regular life just as you do now. While I like my lodge brothers, I could not live with them. Everything in moderation.

Be sure to ask about the differences between what I call regular and irregular. There are limitations with each.

That's nice that they don't steal you away from your normal life like many people think other organizations and societies do.
Thanks for the continued contributions of information everyone! It's appreciated, for sure.

I'm thinking Irregular and Regular comes down to people who either follow mason beliefs / general not enforced rules fully, or are more relaxed on them?

As the sole "Irregular" Freemason here, I will tell you that there is a mixed Gender Lodge in Ft Worth Texas that I am aware of. So you have options, if you are interested in Continental Masonry that accepts men and women contact me by PM. However, whatever decision you make, I wish you the best of luck on your Masonic journey.
And on the flip side from the "Irregular" brother, another option is looking at the lodge locator on the Grand Lodge of Texas website.

If I had to live with the brethren of my lodge I would turn in my demit post haste !!!! I can barely stand spending three days in a hotel room with them when I travel across the state for our Grand Lodge session . My wife is MUCH easier on the eyes .

Some of us are busier than others Ghost , it is all up to you how much or how little you wish to spend attending lodge functions . I stay pretty busy traveling until the wife orders me to take a break . Sometimes I burn out , but that is because I am a member of too many bodies . One thing I teach new Masons is learn the meaning of the word NO .

Of course we know the duties of each office, nice of you to inform those who don't. Sometimes it slips my mind to explain the things.

Freemasonic Lodges don't offer residence or employment, rather they are our places of meeting.


Oh we employ alright.....just not for pay.
