What the best way to become a Mason?

Question

i mean Freemason

Answer 1

Tom, As CL states, you will never be invited to join. No mason has ever been. If you are interested in joining, you MUST ask. It's that simple. You can be invited to a lodge to observe certain public functions, but that is not the same thing. The requirements are as follows, you MUST be a mn, of legal age, of good moral character. You MUST come to masonry of your own free will. YOU MUST ASK TO JOIN.



Legal age varies from state to state in NJ it's 21

Answer 2

You don't get invited to be a Freemason. If you want to become a Mason, ASK a Mason about becoming one.



Probably the best way to do this is to find a local Lodge - they're not called 'chapters,' they're called Lodges (or Temples, but that's an obsolete title nowadays). You can do this by going to the Grand Lodge website for the state you live in, and use their Lodge Locator to find a Lodge near you.



Most Lodges also have websites (and some Grand Lodges have links to them), and they'll have a calendar of upcoming events on it. If not, go down to the Lodge and look at their bulletin board (usually called a Trestleboard) and see when the next dinner or event is going to be held. You can also get the phone number of the Lodge, the Lodge Secretary and the Master from any of the above sources, too.



Contact the Lodge, and let them know that you'd like to come down and talk to someone about joining. They'll take it from there.

Answer 3

You can go to your local Masonic Temple. I've heard things about them. But like you said learn about them first before putting your feet in it. May help with some question you have for them. Here's the thing don't talk about the older stuff to them...like dark religion you notice online. It's a taboo for any newcomers. I myself is interested but it's mostly men only kind of thing >< But hey research first so you know your sources!

Answer 4

if you want to join just ask...



freemasons do not invite people to join.

Answer 5

Why would you want to go around with one trouser leg tucked in you're sock and giving people funny hand shakes?



I do not like secret things - little boys whispering in corners - being spiteful in their own little clubs. reminds of the playground.

Answer 6

go to your mason place but dont give any thing away
