I've been asked to join the Freemasons
Discussion
I feel honoured but I'm not sure if it's for me, or what I'd get from it. Can anyone offer any advice, are you a Freemason?
Edit for name change 9/01/11:
Now known as Ferodocastrol and I still have not made up my mind but the door is still open, apparently!

whatever you do don't ask that question when you get interviewedyou get out what you put in with masonry - you get to meet a load of people you wouldn't normally associate with, it's a evening a week out of the house (once you start to get to more senior positions in your lodge), it keeps your mind on the go having to learn the ritual and rubrik and you raise money for charity
granted it's not for everyone but you can join more than one lodge if your mother lodge (the one you initially join) isn't to your taste

Are you a police Officer?
No, I make catering Trailers, my back ground is that of a carpenter/kitchen fitter and a multi musician, Guitar, Drums, Bass, Piano since 1979.Interesting that you ask me that though, as the chap asking me to join the FM is a retired member of the her majesties's fuzz.

your gonna get bummed
That's sound advice, are talking from experience?
Either way, very kind of you to offer, I think?
Thanks but no thanks. Also thanks for your creative and valued input to this thread, you must be exhausted, so take the rest of the week off, if you're not already off!
Regards to you and your other half.
P.S are you sure it was the Freemasons you had contact with and not the George Michael appreciation society at your local gents? I read about this activity on the front page of my national news paper some time ago, although they didn't mention any other names other than that of Mr GM as I remember. Anyway good luck to you matey, each to their own and all that.;)

OP,
One thing I would mention though is that you need to let them know if you're allergic to donkeys. You'll understand why after your initiation.
Thanks GT, Are you being serious with the above?

I can't work out if that is a serious question Mr Sea........ he's only pulling your leg.
I've heard it can cost a small fortune to be and stay an FM, what we talking here, ££, £££, ££££?

So, is the OP decided to take this further, or has he read too much Dan Brown?
Thanks for asking (and dragging this post up again)
The situation as of today's date, is that I should leave it 5 months as there is unrest in the lodge.
Just aswell as I'm still undecided, I feel honoured to be asked but I would have never thought about the Masons before hand.
I'll keep you posted.;)

Just that! I didn't ask, and if I knew what the unrest was about, I wouldn't post it anyway. There you are, I must have the makings of Mason?
the reason why I asked is because they haven't kept their wordyou'll understand why when you take your oath

I have still not joined the FM, the door is still open for me though.

OP may I ask why not ?
I dont feel old enough yet, much the same way as I'd love a Jag but I'm going to wait until I'm over 55. The lodge is full of over 60yr olds. Also the chap who invited me, claims there is bitterness and in fighting (not fist fighting) at the moment, doesn't sound like a brotherhood in that lodge! Either way not yet for me, if at all.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
