Whoa. Down, boy.

To address your first point: I have learned that some jurisdictions have considered dropping the minimum age to 18. When my husband became a Mason, he was not allowed even to begin the process until he was 21. That was over a decade ago.

To address your second point: If you are female, you do NOT need a blood line relationship to a Mason to join OES. I am the wife of a Mason, hence I am eligible to pursue OES membership if I so choose.

Think before you bump 9-year-old threads.
