I was one of those kids that was dragged to every church in the county on Sundays and Wednesdays by my mom. I'm 32 now and still have some problems with organized religion. I grew up knowing several older guys who were Freemasons. A few years ago I asked them what it was about with a disbelief in what i might gain. Well, after I got familiar with the lodge, the history, the members (tons of vets) I studied and did my work. It made me understand the important things in life, "My family." I was soon interested and joined the Shriners. I didn't realize the old guys in the circus and riding the funny cars were so normal. The idea of learning from other Freemasons and listening to their stories has been a great hobby. Oh yeah, we also send a large sum of money to help kids or families in need.
Ject, Sorry if I sound preachy..I guess you get out of it what you put in. You will find that most Freemasons are very proud to be one.
