I'm a freemason. It's mostly an excuse to get away from our wives and drink, and for old dudes to bond through ritual. Yeah, we sit on a lot of symbolism, but unlike cults, we don't recruit.
Did you go through the initiation right in your underwear?
Nope. You are given something to wear but it isn't underwear.
So... How did you become a Freemason then?
I was kidnapped in the night.
For real though, Ive always had a fascination for the esoteric, and one day decided to enquire about a local lodge. I didn't join. It was only many years later in a different city that I chose to persue membership.
If you really want to know what being a freemason is like, watch Inside the Freemasons on Netflix.
But again, you are not reɔ̵̘͊̈́ruiting?
"How dare you try to offer a contrary opinion to my own! That must mean you are trying to recruit me!"
Can you show us on the doll where the Masons touches you?
Making a video showing people what you do is different than trying to convince them they have to do it.
You have to decide you want to become one, then find a local lodge, then spend many months getting to know members, then you need multiple members to vouch for your character, and then you can petition for membership. My process took a little over 6 months. I enjoyed it. The members of my lodge are incredibly kind and accommodating people. Everyone has a great sense of humor and we enjoy each other's company.
The feeling of exclusivity, and exclusion. These are recruitment tools.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that.
I am just stating facts.
Difference is, I have first hand knowledge, and you don't.
