Anyone familiar with the "Freemasons?"

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.

That is complete hogwash. Actually, the symbolism is about reaching God. Many parallels are drawn with Yoga at the higher Masonic degrees--though Yoga is never blantantly mentioned anywhere in their text. The higher Masons ultimately reach this conclusion through discourse.

So, is my ability to join dependent upon my father/grandfather being a member?

I don't think that is the case any longer. I believe you can be sponsored by existing masons unrelated to you.
