"Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest Fraternity. "
WRONG!!! The Royal Antedeluvian Order of Buffaloes is older than the Masons, going back to before the days of Shakespeare. We also have secrets, not unlike theMasons

I know gobs about the Freemasons.
But you really should read this if you read anything at all (notice all the satanic imagery and references).

By the way...anyone care to fill me in on how to become a member? My grandfather was a Mason; (and if memory serves me right, I could be wrong) I was told that he was a 32nd degree, and that he didn't want to become a Shriner. My dad was involved with some sort of youth organization (rainbows, maybe?), but he never became one.
Why would you want to? Who wants to buy your way to the top of a religion? Oh. I guess Bill Gates did.
I broke and reached him a flagon of De Grave. He emptied it at a breath. His eyes flashed with a fierce light. He laughed and threw the bottle upwards with a gesticulation I did not understand.
I looked at him in surprise. He repeated the movement -- a grotesque one.
"You do not comprehend?" he said.
"Not I," I replied.
"Then you are not of the brotherhood."
"How?"
"You are not of the masons."
"Yes, yes," I said "yes! yes."
"You? Impossible! A mason?"
"A mason," I replied.
"A sign," he said.
"It is this," I answered, producing a trowel from beneath the folds of my roquelaire.
"You jest," he exclaimed, recoiling a few paces. "But let us proceed to the Amontillado."

The masons were "secret" for a reason. They were a society of like minded free thinking men. Free thinking was the type of thing that got you hanged in the early 1700's when the organization was formed hence the need to be secretive about who were members and what they believed. These free thinking men gravitated to the colonies and became the central leaders of our revolution of freedom and the ideas cultivated in the masonic lodges became the basis of our consitutional rights.
There is nothing secretive about being a mason anymore. Most lodges are very open. Their only requirement to join (outside sponsership) is that you have a belief in a higher power, it doesn't matter what religion you derive from.

Are you kidding? Or serious?
Find a Mason and ask?
Probably either Rainbow Girls or Order of DeMolay. Rainbows and DeMolay are the kids sects of the Masons and whatever the women's auxiliary type thing are. I had some friends involved with Rainbows and another friend in DeMolay. He let me read the secret book once. Dun DUN DUN!

I was a DeMolay....would have been a MAson too probably, except I went away to college and got too busy....
Basically like many have said, they are private about their doings, but they are civic minded and often are made up of many community leaders and the guys in charge....
Ooooohhhh those Rainbows and Job's Daughters....somebody had to teach them the facts of life!

go to a local lodge and tell them you want to become a member. They will ask for certain documents and do a background investigation to verify that you are telling the truth.
ROFL. There were a lot of cute Rainbows. My DeMolay friend's biggest selling point on trying to get me to join was joint meetings and dances with the RainbowsOoooohhhh those Rainbows and Job's Daughters....somebody had to teach them the facts of life!
If I remember correctly, the Masons are some how tied into Hiram, king of Tyre who supplied Solomon with the stone and the lumber for building the temple (1 Kings 5). Almost all of the US presidents have been FreeMasons. Apparently the higher levels of the scottish rite, and there was another rite (can't remember the name), are extrememely satanistic (blatant worship of satan) these are all things I've heard. there was a bit of a quack that lived in residence with me who was one of these "anti-freemason" crusaders, he had some really interesting info about them, which i'm sure 1/2 was wrong, but even if 1/2 of it was right, i'd be sh!t scared of them.
has anyone seen the movie "From Hell"? interesting depiction of the freemasons in that movie.

I heard back in the day freemasons usedto have the "hookup" from other freemasons everwhere....yeah and ive heard about teh free handshake...when me and my bro were little we usedto always bug my dad to show us...he never did!
whats the anual or monthly membership dues?? I heard it was in the 100-200/month range. more so along the lines of a donation to a charity but you still had lodge dues
those lodges have to have income to pay for their upkeep somehow
