I've been asked to join the Freemasons

[Bebee]

Sounds good, I think? I'm still intrigued, I could join, father in-law has been asking since 2009.

What's the worst that could happen

One piece of advice i give to all new initiates.

Visit other lodges to see how their ceremonies differ, BUT bear in mind this, If they do something that is done differently in your Lodge, dont say that they are doing it wrong. They are doing it correctly according to the way they have been taught.
And that is the great joy of visiting in Freemasonry. Seeing the variations each Lodge may,or may not, have. Esp where different Rituals are done.
It is that which makes it worthwhile, and if the day ever came where Grand Lodge decrees that every Lodge should work the same, that will be they day i will stop visiting

oh well back to the book, as i take the chair in October after a gap of 16 years!

Just curious is there way of reporting a Freemason for suspected moral turpitude? And if so how would one go about it if you aren't a Freemason yourself?

Thanks

Just (in Feb) finished my year in the chair. Very busy but enjoyable year.

Have been offered my stewardship which is incredibly flattering.

Go to GQS in October to get my red

6 months for me. It doesn't seem like five minutes since my initiation (Jan 2010), but I've held every progressive office, so I'd best get ever more prepared for it.
