Sorry, but why is that being a 32 Degree Mason?

If you are not even a Blue Lodge Brother what do you know?

Masonic does not beleive in hazing and a person has to be asked to become a member not the other way around. You do not join, you are asked to join by some one who feels you are worthy.
Yes from from what I have seen, there are glos who were founded by the Masonic, Acacia being one.

While there are differnet levlels at each Degree they must be earned.
I was a member of LXA who much of the teachings came from the Masons, I find nothing wrong with that as many greek organizations have done before me and you.
I find some of the things posted here inane and unknowing.

No matter what being a Member of a Black/White Mason Brother, you are still a Mason and times are changing.
There is nothing that I know of in Masonic teachings having to do with color in todays society.
If I am wrong, please explain to not only me but all others on this site. Please PM me so I can understand your references.

You mean like using "Masonic" as a noun rather than as an adjective? (The noun is "Masonry" or "Freemasonry.") Or like your mistaken idea that a person does not ask to become a Mason? 2B1ASK1, you know.

Something seems very Earpish here. Very Earpish indeed.

Who said anything about race? My "opinion" is a reference to your post not making sense.

Responding to myself to note that chopper599 has been banned, and after only 7 posts. I guess he was indeed Earpish.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one.

My husband is a Mason and a Shriner. I have never heard him make reference to any hazing in his experience becoming a Mason. I do know for a fact though that he was hazed as part of his initiation into the Shrine.

If you are a mason and you taken "wood", then you are with the wrong lodge.

Ive heard of lodges that so call "pledge" people. Those lodges tend to have the idea that they want Masonry to be like a GLO Frat. which MASONRY IS NOT!.

be cautious people.
