Did I just get recruited?

>>18547323
You can just ask any dude in the masons if they'll sponsor you to join and they will probably do it. I've been drunkenly offered 3 times and sober twice - it's not some super secret shit to join a lodge its on tier with joining a YMCA

>>18547323
Modern Free Mason lodges are relatively easy to join. Members are often looking to bring others into the fold because it can be good for their standing in the lodge.

I met a mason on a field trip with my Law Academy class in Chicago as a kid. He told me that I can join when I'm older and that it isn't as secretive as everyone makes it out to be. Pretty much describes it as networking with people who often tend to be of good social standing and hold great jobs. He happened to be a lawyer and knew several other lawyers in his lodge.

You should join, anon. They also build cool shit.

>>18547339
They build cool shit? Like what?

I figured it wasn't as secretive as everyone makes it out to be when the dude was wearing a masons shirt, and you can literally go to their website and find a lodge to go apply to, but I found the coincidence funny.

My shithole backwards hick town has a lodge or whatever it's called. If it ever was a secret society of any importance, that's long gone now.

>>18547323
It's like joining a country club.

Any secretive stuff would be done at the highest levels and would likely never reach their main member base which is easy as balls to get into.

>>18547323

Do not join anon, they are fakery, Masons are supposed to worship and protect the builders and they are not , look how they let Podesta and company fuck and kill the next builder's , if you truly want to be a real Mason and get the spooky knowledge of the universe, study the buildings that the original orders let behind, meditate in the buildings and study them, youl be in the right path of spiritual advanced and gain real power ,joining the Mason's today and you'll be another slave to the jews.

Will the masons get off their fat asses and build the wall?

>>18547506

>not

Right now there's is no real builders around, you guys will have to comfort with a regular wall instead of a colossal sun power energy barriers who would have stood almost forever.

Did you just suck a dick? Then not yet.

>>18547323
>Did I just get recruited?
No, there is no recruiting. Dudes will certainly offer information if you show even the slightest interest though.
But to join, you have to make the overture yourself.

>>18547506
Monday, apparently.

The old mason family were just the only people in the village who knew how to build shit that didn't fall over, so their name got famous from being able to build

freemasonry is figuring out their techniques, and attempting them on your own

Modern day Masonry is a large, clean building that you pat 300 dollars a month to, and in return they buy food, cigars, and drinks. Water and soap. You get to chill out and meditate, talk to the deitys you've met in your life, and the food is free, since you paid for some.

Just don't take more than you know you can have, and always leave some for later.

>>18548021
The fuck are you on about?

>>18547323
What do you call it when someone is recruited into freemasonry?
>Mordor in the first degree

G is for Gnomes. i told you

>>18547338
This - I'm a freemason to. Just had to pay for the big ass silver ring I got.

Anyways it's pretty cool. Just like a man's club. BBQ and drinking...

Well said,I wonder how you knew about that ritual!

Mason's lady here

In short, yes.
There's a specific thing you did.
There is a long vetting process to become a Mason
You may become one, maybe not.
But you'll have to come and attend the festive boards at your friends lodge if you're serious about joining.
You have to WANT to join btw, but if you're a history buff you certainly won't regret it. Its the oldest fraternity in the world and you will learn very very much and make life-long friends.
If you're accepted that is

>>18549127
Congrats!

Mason's lady again

One more very very important thing before you continue!!!!

Make SURE that his lodge is not a clandestine lodge! Meaning that it's not a fake lodge
Fake lodges are rampant and if you join one by accident you are banned from joining freemasonry forever.
It's easy to check with Google. Search for the grand lodge of your area and make sure that the name of his lodge is on their list of lodges.
There's a lot of weird clandestine lodges full of people who may not even know that they're not freemasons. They may have very weird traditions that do not reflect what freemasonry is all about

If you do decide to join - hopefully they go easy on you :)

>>18549317

Once you reach enlightenment everything make sense, even the chaos .

>>18547338
LOL yeah this is definitely true depending where you live. In places where freemasonry is kind of dying out they can get kind of desperate for good members.

This (thankfully) is not the case where I live

>>18550252
>>18550278
Pip?
Either way, good responses.

>>18547323
if you go through with it, you're about to start something that is very rewarding to others, and very rewarding to yourself. You'd be surprised at how many square and compasses you'll notice on cars and in jewelry. it's not a cult or none of that nonsense, it's a fraternity, and a good one.

>>18548021
>thinking masonry is named after a family
Other way around. Mason is a job, when family names became a thing it also became a last name.

protip: they only recruit pink nubile young twinks they want to sodomize

imagine if you had to sodomize dusty hairy fat old men for the past 20 years. they're like sodomy-zombies. they want your twink hole. dont do it!

>>18549164
i love Beavis and Butthead!

>>18551502
Could you tell me more about the actual activities of the Masons?

Some have told me it's just a social club that does charitable acts. Their website says that learning is very important to them, and that to reach the second degree of Masonry you have to have showed progress in learning.

I'm interested in finding something positive in my life. I don't have any friends and barely any connections. But I don't want to sit around with a bunch of old guys and talk. I'm 31 and want to learn things and develop in a positive environment.

So what really goes on?

>>18551905
Depends on the lodge. Ideally, learning and discussion of sciences and philosophy.

templars made us believe in Christianity and now the Freemason's are going to destroy it. just like all religion.

>>18552758
Utter whut on both points.

>>18547323
If your not a business owner or independently wealthy they wont let you in.

>>18553060
Untrue. You just have to be able to support yourself.

>>18553060
all the fraternal orders like the knights masons and elks are bleeding members due to alternative entertainment options these day they are not picky and fawn over you if you join and are under 30

>>18555376
They aren't meant to be an entertainment option. That's why people think that the membership is "bleeding away", because the chaff is being separated from the wheat.

>>18550252
new poster with a question.
Is there a problem if you belong to other group of interest (don't really know how to call them) other than clandestine lodges of course?
I bet there'd be a problem for some if not most cults. Probably no problem for groups like rotary or lions. And what about simple associations of individuals under certain self imposed laws that have neither monetary nor religious goals?
Also not my cas ebut curious, do you have religious masons? Do people drop religion after their intronisation? Do you see agnostics picking it up instead? Does it matter at all?

That's a lot of questions, a general anwser if any would be fine. I'm just a curious man.

>>18556284
>Is there a problem if you belong to other group of interest (don't really know how to call them) other than clandestine lodges of course?
Not at all.
The only exceptions being that OTO members cannot join Freemasonry. But that's an unwritten rule for the Craft, and a written rule for some of the side degrees.
You'd struggle to get in if you were in one of those "Church of Satan" things.
>do you have religious masons?
Every Mason is religious. About 95% are Christian. You can't join without having belief in God. That belief is up to you, though.
Some members became fedora tippers after joining, and they either leave, or are made to leave.

>>18556315
>OTO
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordo_Templi_Orientis <<< that one?
>That belief is up to you, though.
I assume it's always one of the other major monotheistic religions? Orthodoxes, Jews, Muslims, Protestants, etc?

>>18556346
>that one?
Yup.
>I assume it's always one of the other major monotheistic religions?
Naw, any belief in God is fine. You have to be Christian to join the side degrees, though.

>>18556365
>belief in God
let me rephrase that, I meant what about polytheistic religions? Or beliefs in a divine essence without will?

>>18556382
Polytheistic is fine. They generally have a supreme creator deity in the pantheon. Like Vishnu, Dagda, Ahura Mazda, etc.

>>18556385
Anwsers most of my questions, thanks.
