Are you a member of the free masons?

When I tried to join I got the impression they they really did, something about the oaths you make being legitimate.

>> No.5166098

I am. It's just a fraternity for grown ups. If you're a member in some bumblefuck town it's nothing but go to some pancake breakfasts and recite some rituals. In an area with wealthy and connected people it's the same thing, but they'll hook you up with jobs and connections and stuff.

Isn't it against the rules to invite someone to the lodge. I thought they needed to come of their own accord.

no, you need an invite to go. You need two member sponsors to join

My dad is. I don't think I'll be. Too much politics.

There are different types of lodges, and branches of each lodge (depending on the type).

The most common are what is called Blue Lodges. They are the most simple and are the ones primarily mentioned in this thread where they have the hillbilly breakfasts and all that bullshit. The Blue Lodge puts you through the 1-3 degrees shitting you out a 3rd degree Master Mason. Most Blue Lodges require one sponsor from the lodge you would be joining.

At this point MOST will become Shriners, if anything. However, you can also join a Scottish Rite or York Rite lodge. After having two Master Masons in good standing sponsor you, you can join these separate lodges and finish out the 4-32nd degree initiatory system.

Throughout that process you can then branch out depending on various factors. The York Rite, for instance, contains the Knights Templar.

No, I'm grandmaster of the Enslaved Morticians.

Supposed to, maybe. But it does not.

Countryside freemasonry is hilarious.
Usually that's how I imagine things.
