I believe you need to be nominated by an existing mason.

Actually, this site looks much better:

http://askafreemason.org/

Go to "Find a Lodge"

are you a mason abgemacht

Shhhhh, he can't tell you. Its super-secret

apparently you are one of the conspiracy theorists who have tainted the masons reputation. a lot of masons wear ringsand tiepins with their sympols on them so its not exactly too secret is it. unless you are a mason in which im sorry for the accusation

the site was good, thanks

@diplomat: You can't just write off the conspiracy theory. I personally am undecided on whether it's true or not (My dad believes it's true though), but even if it is true, the lowest like 7 levels of masons are supposed to know nothing of the conspiracy, so I'd have no problem with them whatsoever, if the theories are true. So I don't really see how the theories would taint the reputation of the freemasons.

i agree you cannot write them off entirely, but most are for certain bias, lousy accusations

what are all 33 levels if you know conservative man?

Being a Mormon isn't a secret either, unless you are an outsider that wants to enter their sacred temples or know anything about the true inner-workings. And....not just my conspiracy theories, but the word of my Mormon friend, who actually just got back from visiting the Temple in Utah.

In other words, just because it is known, and even advertised, that some people are Free Masons does not therefore imply that a certain part of the Mason's inner-workings, rituals, etc are not super-secret. Duhhhh..

I also know that the U.S Government exists....and a bunch of other governments, too...and, shock of shocks, they all have super-secret inner-workings that I don't know anything about.

So any fool that thinks you have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe that the Free Mason are a super-secret society is just naive.

Whew...

THAT being said....in order to become a Mason, you must first eat the beating heart of a new born lamb and sell your soul to the Devil.

Diplomat - Your ignorance of the 33 levels of free Masonry does not mean they do not exist, fool.

that is a bias unfactual statement and i wanted instructions to join not false accusations and complete lies

I really have no idea. I knew there were 33 levels, but thats about all I remember about them.

heh I'd like to be a Mason, but those bigoted fucks wont allow atheists.

I twas just trolling, Diplomat haha. I do believe that you have to be invited by an existing Mason though. Its not like Boy Scouts where you just sign up.

hey everyone, dont base your comments on dan brown's the lost symbol, if you actually know useful info post it or if not, dont pollute this forum with lies and misconceptions

gold is right:

For Membership:

-You are an adult male (usually 18-21, based on the individual jurisdiction) of good character and recommended by a Mason.
-You believe in a Supreme Being -- no atheist can become a Mason -- but we are not concerned with theological distinctions or your particular religious beliefs.
-You are interested in becoming a Mason because you hold a favorable opinion of our institution; and, your decision to apply is based on your own "free will and accord." No one will compel you to join.

what is biased and unfactual? All I said is it might be true.

not you, but krillan's comment about the beating heart and devil

Oh. I have krellin muted, so I didn't see that lol

good for you, i should too

How do you know that isn't true, just saying...just cause something isn't likely doesn't mean it's not true or that it's not going to happen.

Yeah, Diplofool - you should have me muted. god forbid you expose yourself to a different point of view. And....if you found anything *truly* offensive in my last posts....let me know. Otherwise, quit being such a bitch. Agreeing with CM really just makes you jackass of the day....it isn't a good position to be in. I mean....seriously....you want to align yourself with Stalker-Boy CM????

But SERIOUSLY, Diplfool -- WHAT SPECIFCALLY, in my above posts, which were a mixture of fact and humor, did you find SO fucking offensive that you think you should mute me, like that whiny bitch CM, who is *desperately* afraid of the truth?

I think you shouldn't pervert a forum dedicated to gaining info on how to join the masons. To join, contact a grand lodge and do the paperwork and you can go from there. Cease the cussing krellin it doesn't help anything.

Just going to throw in here that my step Grandfather is some kinda level 33 mason and is friends with Michigan Grand Master and he is one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My grandmother goes to the meetings for the wives and she loves the society as well. From everything I have personally heard about it, the Masonic Order sounds like an upstanding group that you should be happy to join if you want too.

I so wanted to give krellin a chance, but he is clearly not really interested in getting help, so back on the "spews forth vitriole and bile" list (aka mute) he goes.

@ krellin: The fact that you believe in the existence of the US government is in fact evidence that you have fallen for the conspiracy. It actually doesn't exist at all.

nicely put Jamiet, i like your thought process

glad to see at least a few of you actually tried to help.

When I was in the Boy Scouts, a long time ago, I was inducted into a secret society (it's much more open now!) within that organization, called the Order of the Arrow. I didn't know at the time, but I fould out later that a lot of the ceremonies etc. were patterned after Masonic ceremonies.

I know a few Masons. Apparently they're having trouble recruiting; the average Mason is pretty damn old. I think that a group that was *successfully* taking over the world wouldn't have this problem.

@AWB: Well, according to thte theory, that masons aren't the ones taking over the world, they're just a front for the people actually taking over the world. In fact, I believe I read that the highest levels of illuminati (*gasp* I said it) are not even affiliated with the masons (at least not openly). As I said before, I don't believe for sure that this stuff is true, but I believe it could be true. 50-50 chance approximately.

I think that there are way too many people trying to take over the world for anyone to have actually pulled it off.

agreed, if it had any truth in it at all
