Inside the Masons

Masonry in General

All masonic lodges are governed by a grand lodges. There is a Grand Lodge in every state of the Union. I urge all of you to contact your grand lodge, with any questions you may have. Many lodges host a public information night. They have a short program and then welcome questions from the community. Research Scottish Rite Masons and York Rite Masons, you will be amazed at what you find out. Learn all you can. Good Luck

If you were a Rainbow and you are familiar with the Eastern Star, then you know very well that Freemasonry is a male, fraternal organization.

There are ways for women to be involved with Masonic organizations (such as the ES), but you cannot receive the three degrees of Freemasonry.

Please spare us the sexist argument. There have always been male and female exclusive organizations. This is nothing wrong with men and women forming organizations where they are able to socialize and form fellowship with members of their own gender.

On Becoming a Mason

I sincerely would like to become a Mason. I have several family members, all deceased now, who were Masons & Shriners. I have inquired about membership of a man I know who is a Mason. He said I could not be a member. Is that because I am a woman? My gender is a circumstance of my birth. My desire to become a Free Mason is a consequence of my education, and experience in life. As a young girl, I was a Rainbow. My Mom was an E.S. I would truly like to become a Mason and work beside fellow Masons in the tradition of the organization. Is there a place for me in the organization?

TO BE ON THE INSIDE AS A MASON!!!

YES, THERE ARE MANY WHO STAND ON THE OUTSIDE AND ARE VERY CRITICAL OF A MASON! I AM A MASTER MASON IN THE BLUE LODGE! I STAND READY TO DEFEND THE MASONIC LODGE ANY TIME,ANY WERE! THE GOAL OF A TRUE MASON IS TO BUILD UP WHATEVER MAY BE THE TASK AT HAND! WERE THERE IS A NEED THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENION,THEY WILL GIVE IT THEIR ALL! IN SOME CASE'S THEY HAVE BEEN MORE INVOLVED IN HELPING THEN SOME OF THE CHURCH'ES! BUT YET SOME OF THE CHURCH'ES ARE VERY CRITICAL OF THE LODGE BECAUSE OF HERESAY!THE CHURCH'ES THAT HAVE DONE THEIR RESEARCH

ON THE LODGE KNOW BETTER! MY THOUGHTS ARE DON'T JUDGE ME ON WHAT YOU HERE,JUDGE ME ON MY ACTIONS! A TRUE MASON WILL PROVE HIMSELF TO BE TRUE TO HIS CALLING!OH,BUY THE WAY WE ATTEND CHURCH AND BELEIVE IN GOD LIKE MOST OF US DO. SO ANY ONE IN DOUBT ABOUT A MASON, DO A LITTLE RESEARCH TO SEE WHAT WE STAND FOR!! GOD BLESS AMERICA

Men of Honor

The Freemasons are truly exceptional. Although the Fraternity was falsely accused of wrongdoing many years ago, and some took advantage of this for their own selfish reasons, there has never been any doubt in my mind that Freemasons are truly the most honorable men that have ever walked this Earth.

I once saw an elderly woman trip and fall while walking down the sidewalk while I was on vacation in Honolulu, Hawaii. A man, who waiting to donate blood at the time, rushed over to help her. He caught her as she was falling, brought her over to sit in a chair, and absolutely refused to leave her side. As he knelt beside her, holding an icepack to her bruised knee, he began talking with her about any and all subjects in which she was interested.

After a short time, the woman's son came to pick her up to take her home. Before she left, however, the young man (he could not have been a day older than 30), gave her his phone number and told her to call him should she ever need anything. The elderly woman, somewhat puzzled by his gesture, looked at him and simply asked "why?"

His reply was: "Because I am a Freemason, and it is my duty."

I might also add that, as this man was speaking with this woman, a younger woman (who I later discovered was his girlfriend) stood watching the exchange, nodding her head, with tears of pride and happiness in her eyes.

I then began to cry myself.

Masons

I joined the masonic fraternity about a year ago. Since then I feel its probably one of the most important decisions of my life. Besides making new friends or Brothers we get to be of service to our communities through outreach projects.

There's alot of ways to spend your spare time. I would highly recommend this fraternity to men who would like to be apart of an organization that prides itself on a behaviour of principals over personalities.
