what do freemasons actually do?

>>677976280
Is it true that all you guys do is community/charity events?

>>677976280
Do you have secret rituals like group sex orgies?

>>677976351
Suck each other's dicks in secret. Windowless buildings ftw.

how can I bee a Freemason?

>>677976899
If you're Jew then you're welcome.

>>677976351
In blunt terms, it's more of a club than anything. We discuss politics, business and general hobbies and interests. The whole stigma related to it is a bit of a myth.

>>677976444
That's not all we do, but we certainly do get involved in helping the community and charitable causes - typical for localised charities for each different lodge.

>>677976556
None that I've ever been invited to! ; )

>>677976899

>>677976899
Typically it's through invite only, you know a mason, come along to a couple of meetings, express an interest and then you'll be interviewed and there'll be a general discussion on suitability. They can be quite selective in some lodges. Typically business owners, professional people etc. as they like to think new members will be able to bring something to their lodge.

>>677977029
Being Jewish is not a prerequisite but certainly there are a number of Jewish people with the Masons. I'm not Jewish but have many friends within my lodge that are.

>>677977268
This is also true, to have some form of religious beliefs is required. Aethiests wouldn't be accepted in the lodge. How actionable or preventable that is, is up for debate.

>>677977100

Nope, wish I was a congressman though, good money so I hear! You do get a number of political figures involved in the Masons though.

why must you believe in a creator to become a freemason

>>677976280
How does one get involved in this, or do you need too be grandfathered in?

>>677977596
how about apatheists

How many ring chasers do you have in your lodge? (Guys who just want the ring) my buddy says his lodge hates thise guys, but they pay dues...so ya know.

>>677976280
can you display the secret handshakes for us?

>>677977596
>This is also true, to have some form of religious beliefs is required. Aethiests wouldn't be accepted in the lodge. How actionable or preventable that is, is up for debate.
I am not a freemason, but I read on the official German freemason website that belief doesn't matter.

>>677977076
>None that I've ever been invited to! ; )

Sounds boring

>>677977940
Not op, but you have to state that you believe in a supreme being.

>>677977076

But there is a "secret ritual" right?

>>677976280
As a mason I appreciate there are so many questions about the organization, but let's be serious, with the internet, the rituals and requirements to become a mason are no longer a secret. The lessons in morality and character are what a mason takes home from being a part of any lodge

>>677976280
Are you Filipino?

They require you to believe in God, so the sekret klub is full of stupid morons.

>>677976280
111111 reporting in

So descendants of a mason are considered what?

>>677977386
I don't think the Masons has anything to do with any of this, certainly nothing that I've been privy to anyway! A lot of the conspiracy stuff comes about because it's not an open group so people typically assume the worst!

>>677977574
Don't stigmatise gay people, but I've never met a gay member, there aren't any in my lodge that I know of anyway. Women are also now welcome too.

>>677977660
It's to have a spiritual belief system, what religion is not important. It's more to get a better balance of interests and mentality within the group.

>>677977667
Not necessarily blood related, it can also be a friend or colleague recommends you in. It so happens I just my father's lodge, but I have had friends come along with me on occasion.

>>677977761
If I understand rightly that would mean you don't actively believe in a religion? If so then I don't think that would be enough. As I say though, the actual logistics behind verifying whether you have a religious belief is essentially unenforceable unless you proclaim otherwise to a member. You don't need to be a regular churchgoer or anything like that.

>>677977940
I'm fairly certain you would have to, definitely for our and all lodges in the UK. I've never heard of a lodge that accepts outright atheists, for example.

>>677978071
To be blunt, a lot of it is quite boring, certainly when you start. It's a lot to do with learning texts and mantras (sort of) to give a guidance on how to live a more productive life. The intentions are all very positive. Masons do a lot for the community, more than you may know. If there are members, or even friends or family members of members of our lodge, who are going through hardship, the lodge will do what it can to help, whether it be financial, support, professional help etc. This is why it's important to get the right people in the lodge, so everyone has the same mindset towards things.

>>677978167
There are certain secretive things that I wouldn't be able to discuss with nob-members, but to put your curiosity to rest, it's nothing incredibly significant or perhaps even relevant whatsoever to your daily life.

>>677978184
Speak to them and go along for a meet one evening!

>>677978238
Nope, not as a default, you still need to be invited along.

>>677978343
No, I'm British!

>>677978367
Depends on what God, doesn't have to be Christianity, but to have the belief of a superior being.

>>677978389
Nothing much more than any other lodge member, perhaps a bit more prestige but that's it.

>>677976280
Where were you first prepared to be a mason?

>>677978367
Not god, just a supreme being. Even satan

what kind of books de you read? is there an author preferred by freemasons regarding philosophy?

>>677979010

>In blunt terms, it's more of a club than anything. We discuss politics, business and general hobbies and interests. The whole stigma related to it is a bit of a myth.

That's kind of what I thought, and I've actually kicked around the idea of trying to join. I have plenty of character references from volunteer work, but how hard is the memorizing portion of it? I'd assume there are some oaths and rituals and stuff you need to remember.

can you let me into your super cool secret club? come oooooon

>>677976280
Why do you guys keep lying about your secrecy? Why can't you guys admit that you've been around forever under a plethora of secret societies' name(that is as far as going back to the times of the ancient Egyptians)?

Or is it because most of the degrees are brainwashed about the organizations true motives until you get to a higher degree? Why are there so many crooked political heads affiliated to it?

I mean come on you stupid spineless rotten piece of shit, i damn well know my history and am well rounded in the Occult

You can't lie to me unless you have been brainwashed

>>677979561
other Masonic fag here,
The lodge will help you with your work to prepare you, it's nothing to worry about. Everybody has gone through the same process. When you present your work it's just like when Pippin makes his obligation to the House of Gondor

>>677976280
How do they feel about Mormons taking all their secret ritual stuff and putting it in their temples and calling it theirs?

>>677979876
The thing is the normal members just fund the higher ups conspiracy. They don't share the details with the regular masons otherwise the secrets would be all over the internet just like the rituals and obligations are

>>677980415
they don't really care anon, it's not like it's about copyright
symbols are just symbols, many are used by many organziations

>>677980508
have you met a mormon mason?

>>677980113
for the most part anywhere the british empire has been or influenced has a Masonic Lodge

>>677980233
Okay I'm sorry but I can't answer anymore questions.

I see another person has said they are a Mason in here, if he discusses anything then so be it, but I just want to make clear that I'm not longer making any further comments or answering any questions on here. Sorry guys.

Hurr durr, we are just a "club". We just discuss politics and follow a common moral code. Fuck you, OP. It's no coincidence that most world leaders are freemasons. Although most try to keep it a secret. Being a freemason means having "friends" (which are, in reality, just connections) in high places in justice, politics even science.
If your aim was just to discuss shit, why would you need to be in a club? What's with the rituals? What's with the special handshake? What's with the levels within the organization? Does that imply that some people are not allowed to discuss certain topics of discussion? Yeah, I wonder why.

>>677980788
I don't get it?

>>677980743

ok mister mason 2.0, so to sum it up once again:

If I have zero connections to any lodge (be it through family or whatever afaik) there is NO WAY I can be initiated out of own initiative? I have to be recommended so to say?

Another Mason here, fuck the other ones. I've had it with my lodge, I entered because I wanted to know what masonry was all about, but all we do is sit around and talk about everyday things in life, and when we talk about masonry is all veiled in stupid language. AMA, I'll reveal secrets.

Does anyone find it weird he had to stop replying?

Wrong. In my Stare Grand Lodge it is forbidden to recruit. The candidate must ask. Sometimes multiple times.

I know of no Jewish people in my Blue Lodge although it would be fine.

>>677980438
You clearly don't know shit about what you're talking about, next time just ignore things you clearly cannot fathom

>>677981225
not true
the saying is "to be one ask one"
find a facebook page for your local lodge and send them a message saying you'd like to learn about the joining the lodge. Chances are somebody you know is a mason but if not it doesn't stop you from being considered as a member

>>677981654
that's a shriners thing, not a masonic thing

>>677981075

there's no censorship in what we discuss, but is obvious that the members of higher hierarchy keep secrets and may have businesses together (outside of the lodge I mean)

>>677977076
Whats with emblems on cars?

>>677981759
no lodge allows women, the Masonic organization for women is Job's Daughters

That may be true, what I'm saying it's that it's not different in other clubs (like business clubs or university fraternities). You will favor the people you know over the people you don't know. There's not this huge conspiracy, just people pretending it to be.

Masons are a very secretive group, with secretive ideals that they don't want the public to know about.
