Do you openly tell people you are a mason?

My dad found out I was a mason about 3 years ago. I was helping him move and forgot I had a square and compass necklace on when I changed my shirt. He didn't come unglued, was was quite concerned. He was telling me all the things he had seen about masons, you know the usual, worshipping Satan, N.W.O, blah blah blah.
Now, I'm 47 years old and always remember going to the parades, circus since I can remember. Also my dad knew several shriners when he was a firefighter. I looked at my dad and asked him, what do you think about those shriners ?
He said their good people, they do tons for the kids and ask NOTHING in return. I said hmmmmmm, did you know that you have to be a mason to become a shriner ? After that he was completely cool with it.

I wear a Masonic ring and have an S&C emblem on my car. I have on my LinkedIn profile that I am the LEO for my Lodge under volunteer activities.

One co-worker is a member of the Elks. We chat occasionally about the charity work that our Lodges do.

IMHO, we should talk about what the Craft does to help our communities. The WWII generation didn’t talk much about the Craft. We need to change this to get more members.

I posted in another thread about having a meeting with a relative and some other Past masters on a "pre-screen" about becoming a mason. Very nice meeting and nice group of people. So polite. I am looking forward to go through with it if the lodge they select will have me.


Later that night I went on a date with someone they asked how the meeting went and what it was about. I told them "It was a masonic meeting sort of thing about becoming a freemason."

I kid you not, this said person became infatuated and also offended speaking of government controlling mess, god, etc. Almost ruined the date until I kept trying to change the subject.

Mind you this person has a graduates degree in english, is a teacher, and is going for a district position at her school or whatever.

My guess is if I get initiated(hopefully). It's best to keep this thing under wraps? I am in my late 20s by the way.
