can i join?

i feel i would make an adequate member, been researching for awhile and feel now is the time to try and join. i look forward to responces

Why would you like to join out of curiosity?

Contact your local lodge and address your situation there. They will sort you out.

It's handled locally although if you google you can find a website with an application. They will forward to your respective lodge. That said, a mason at that lodge has to recommend you, perhaps even two.

i'm curious to, why would you want to join. everything i've read here at ats seems to be anti mason. 'masons ar evil' 'masonic new world order'

ect ect ect

you know there may be 'zionists' in their ranks

Petition your local lodge, provide references and wait. That's about all you can do. Nobody on this website can personally accept you into Freemasonry, it's up to your local lodge and Grand lodge.

You can find them in your local grocery store, I even hear some work in your local schools, public works, etc, etc. Shhhh they're taking over the world!

I should probably note that I am not a mason. Don't want to misrepresent....

The rules aren't completely uniform for each lodge and location. Some might be sticklers while others are not. If your interested its best to simply show interest.

Not at all. Go to your local lodge on their meeting night. Tell them you are interested in joining but are a year away from being 21. They will most likely, invite you to eat with them, and will try to get to know you. You can find your references there, or you can pay attention and chances are, you already know some masons and they know you, but you haven't figured that out yet.

You have to initiate contact. If you have any problems, just ask. We can usually answer most questions about membership with the knowledge base we have here.

Once you go down to your local lodge and introduce yourself and explain that you want to join it is not difficult at that point to get two lodge members to sign your petition (unless you are obviously wacko). Some lodges, if you do not know anyone there, make ask you to attend some publically open lodge functions (picnics, breakfasts, charity events, etc.) which will enable you to meet some of the Brothers and have them recommended you.

go into a hall, there is usually someone there during the day.

Ask and you will be taken for an interview, usually right then and there,

Do NOT except the drink.

And you too can pay to have Tuesday night dinners.

I wish! Some guys still wear those blue and white striped overalls, they look pretty old school classic railroader in them.

On a side note, I think I'm the only Mason at my terminal of about 200 Conductors and engineers. Word eventually got around and some of the fundamentalist Christians were filling my mail box with all sorts of hilarious anti Masonic pamphlets and literature. One even offered to help " get me out of there". All in a days work!
