    Are the Masons still pretty powerful?

    If I could get into the masons, then, would that be a good move? Would it open any doors for me?

    Some of my very close family were extremely very highly ranked members and I apparently can be grandfathered

                  I remember a kid in my highschool had a dad who was a mason. Once a month they got together for breakfast at Perkins. Sounds powerful as fuck to me.

                      I get confused, are they the ones that wear lampshades on their heads or is that the Shriners?

                          You can be grandfathered huh?

                          Here's an idea....know something about the group before you make ridiculous posts like this that identify you as an idiot, a liar, or perhaps both.

                              That's the Shriners but you have to be a Mason to be a Shriner.

                                      I know several Masons and have thought about trying to join as they do a TON of work in the community

                                          The Shriners in Kentucky are big into helping disadvantaged children. There is a Shriners Children Hospital and numerous big fund raising campaigns.

                                              Talk about getting "grandfathered" in...

                                              Or is that in grandfather?

                                                  The Shriners are that way everywhere. That's what makes them Shriners.

                                                  "When Shriners International was first founded in 1872, the organization built on the principles that guided Freemasonry, while adding an element of fun and, ultimately, philanthropy......."

                                                                              You have to be accepted

                                                                              Yes you can "Join" If you want to. You can even buy mason rings and other jellery if you want to as well lol

                                                                              We speak to them on thier stand at shows . The last show we went to, there were about 10 of them in thier little show caravan trying to get people to join lol

                                                                              They even gave me a little booklet and invited me to one of thier lodges lol

                                                                              I actually found the whole thing pretty funny cause they were all old guys looking for "camaraderie".

                                                                              Of course they still have thier old ways and some lodges are more open than others but it is not the society it used to be way back it has changed a lot

But there is more powerful out there. You never know... Please make the difference between secret societies and societies with secrets.
                                                                                                                  Sorry total bullshit and its not a secret society at all, You dont have to be invited you can apply to be a mason and if they think you are of good character and will make a good mason they will let you join and it costs you money. My dad was a mason, its nothing special. You enter on an aprentice degree and then a fellowcraft and then a master My dad gave so much money to charity from his building company he owned through the masons, yes they do a lot of charitable work

                                                                                                                              1: Free & Accepted Masons (F&AM)

                                                                                                                              2: Ancient Free & Accepted Masons (AF&AM)

                                                                                                                              In 1880 the two resolved their differences and are now considered one lodge.

                                                                                                                                  The reason for this is that Masons are not allowed to "invite" people to "join." Of course, over the years some of the lodges have adapted and do this anyway. Mostly out of the need to survive. But that doesn't change the fact that it's actually against "Masonic law" to do so.

When I was still active in the trade I would fill little bags full of bitcoins and put them inside the bricks before furrowing my mortar beds! Now look at me pedaling porn like its the Sunday paper.

They raised money for orphanages and kid spaces in the city. Lots of networking as well though, with other business people and politicians

I am pretty sure you are not what they are looking for in a new initiate.

                                                                                                                                                                                  If you want to go through the initiations you can become a mormon. They copied some of their rituals. from the masons. Some people think that is why Joseph Smith was killed. He did not keep the masonic rituals a secret. One of the famous initiations is the blood oath where an initiate gives an oath to not reveal any masonic secrets. If he does his throat will be cut.

                                                                                                                                                                                  To answer your question: Yes I believe they are still powerful. The small town where I live has a statue near city hall where a woman is reading a book. She is pointing to a page where there is the "all seeing eye" inscribed. Also the town logo is a pyramid and the entrance to the courthouse is pyramid shaped. These guys basically run the town.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Often masons want police and firefighters to join. They want people involved in the community. I doubt police and firefighters ever rise up too far in the masons but they are desired to be members for obvious reasons. There is also a good reason why some masons put logos on their cars.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
