Freemasonry is kind of dying these days as older members are passing on but not as many younger recruits are coning in to replace them. If you go to any Freemason-type do what you'll notice straight away is the enormous amount of old people there. It's also not a good place to meet girls because there kind of aren't any. Freemasonry has been trying to update its image a little and be a bit more open than it used to in the 1950s when it was all very secretive and 1 in 5 working men in the US were members, ebcause they're starting to realise that even "secret" societies need a bit of a PR campaign sometimes.
To be honest there are better clubs that you could join if you wanted to meet people, socialise and grow as a person. The niche that Freemasonry used to hold has these days been replaced by all sorts of other activities. Freemasonry isn't anything all that special. It's nothing to be all that afraid of, either. The worst thing that can happen to you there is you can waste a lot of time with a bunch of men standing around talking about stuff when you could instead have joined a club that more women are into and then spent that time talking to girls about stuff.

You lot sure pay well for entertainment. The local Freemasons near us paid £1500 for 3 hours worth of my function bands time. Practically stealing when you're playin covers and, once split 4 ways, being paid nearly 400 quid for it!cleverlymadeup said:
I did notice their was an air of snobbery about the place though...
I also used to work as a waiter at Bletchley Park (the ex-top secret place in England where the enigma machine messages were decoded during WW2) we onced catered for a private party of Freemasons. They had the same arrogance and rudeness about them. It gave me a negative view of them over all I'm afraid.
Do you ever hear of that in your group?
yup we do, don't even need a phrase since there is the secret handshake as wellAardvark said:
that's the same with any group. depends on who it is really, i've met a few that are snobby and some that aren't. it's just like meeting people at any function reallyravens_nest said:
they say its free hence the name but after two months they start charging you for certain expenses like new masons
Listen this Thread isn't the place to argue our different sides and too be honest, I'm tired of argueing my point across the internet to people who I most likely will never meet.Sulu said:
I also doubt that anything I say will change your mind. just as nothing you say will change my mind.
I will say this though, it was war, people die in war. In fact people are still dieing in a war that is supposedly finished.
Every innocent death was and is regretable but most that were lost could have been avoided if the English had just treated us fairly and released Northern Ireland.
I know at least one freemason, and have been invited to join.
They mostly seem to have social events every week or so and raise money for charity. I think for many people it's largely a form of social club, but with added rituals.
