I want to become a freemason..
How should I go about this? I know 2b1ask1, but how would I ensure acceptance? How do I know if someone is a mason? Should I just go to a local lodge? Are there any reasons why someone wouldn't be accepted? I'd like to know as much as I can before I make a decision.

from link'
"There are several similarities in the Freemason and the Illuminati societies. Both had secrecy as the reason for their creation and both include members who are freethinkers and highly intellectual. The goal of the creation of the two is different. The Illuminati was born in order to create a New World Order than would change the world, but the goal of the Freemasons was to create a society in which chivalry and honor would be evident among the members. This group is well known for its many charitable works all over the world."

To give is to condemn ones self.

Of the two, perhaps the better, yet if both could be the same, that another thing entirely.

create a New World society in which chivalry and honor would be evident among the members.


honor, what of that, chivalry where has thou gone to.

Re: I want to become a freemason..
I want to better myself, I have been working on improving my life after a lousy start. I've been to jail for marijuana possesion, and my ex-gf prevents me from seeing my son. Would these prevent me from membership? I really am a person of noble morals and standards. It took me some time to get there, but alas..

It's called riding the goat
Here is a sample text of a goat riding initiation and how it was used in the Lodge:

The Goat is usually the first "stunt" introduced to a candidate; he is hoodwinked in ante-room and when he enters the Lodge room he is picked up and placed on the Goat and given a ride several times around the Lodge room and dismounted in front of the Chief Officer's Station, where he is presented for instructions.



A NOVEL WAY TO INTRODUCE THE GOAT.

The candidate is hoodwinked in the ante-room and conducted to the Chief Officer's Station.

CONDUCTOR - "Chief Officer, I present you Mr. Who is a candidate seeking the mysteries of our Order. He awaits your instructions."

OFFICER-"My friend, before permitting you to advance into this grand and noble Order, it is my duty to examine you by asking you certain questions, for your answers, which will be considered by the Lodge before starting you on your journey to seek the secrets of our Order."

"What is your name in full?"

"How old are you?"

"Are you single or married?"

(If married) "How many children have you?"

"What is your occupation?"

"Have you always been able to earn a good livelihood?"

"Do you consider yourself to be sound and in good health?"

"Have you a good appetite?"

"Do you eat meat?"

"Do you like butter?"

"Do you like soft or hard butter?"

(Candidate will say hard butter.)

"Very well, we will try and satisfy your appetite. We have the hardest and best butter in this section of the country. This butter has been tried by every candidate introduced, and they can all testify that he is a hard butter. Attendants, bring forth Billie, our hard butter, and administer some of his good qualities to our candidate."

(The Goat is brought in and the candidate is mounted and given a ride around the Lodge room, and finally returned and dismounted in front of Officer's Station, and the following is introduced if desired:)

OFFICER-"Well, sir, how do you like our butter?"

(Candidate is liable to say it's all right.)

OFFICER-"Now, my friend, you said, I believe, that you liked meat any old way. I am glad to know that you do, because we have an obligation in the way of a meat test which I will have to administer to you."

Masons are being named with the UN as child traffickers at this time.

Listen to it all, the beginning sounds parental abuse type but once he goes on....it is horrible. This is what is coming to the USA if not here now. What happens in Europe comes here, they all say that.

He lists nations and child issues, Masons and the UN as the child sexual abuse traffickers of the world.

then you have to ask yourself in your heart, why do those who have the means to do so, do fail in doing so? what do they lack? maybe precisely that heart of gold and the true aspiration to do something for humanity?

true masonry is decided upon magnanimity of heart, not upon self-given degrees.

any group that puts a hierarchical chain above magnanimity of heart, is not true masonry.

there is only one true hierarchy. and that is decided based only upon purity of heart.

Part of the Entered Apprentice Degree /1st Degree oath:

Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will
not write, indite, print, paint, stamp, stain, hue,
cut, carve, mark or engrave the same upon
anything movable or immovable, whereby or
whereon the least word, syllable, letter, or
character may become legible or intelligible to
myself or another, whereby the secrets of
Freemasonry may be unlawfully obtained through
my unworthiness.
To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise
and swear, without any hesitation, mental
reservation, or secret evasion of mind in my
whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty
than that of having my throat cut across, my
tongue torn out, and with my body buried in the
sands of the sea at low-water mark, where the
tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours,
should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this,
my solemn Obligation of an Entered Apprentice.
So help me God and make me steadfast to keep
and perform the same.
