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.
So... How did you become a Freemason then?
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.
