Depends on what you want your Freemasonry to be. If you want it to be a frat where fellowship with other men being your goal than a one day class works just fine. If you want your Freemasonry to be an intiatic society that provides esoteric value than a one day class is antithetical to that...

I don't see how labeling anyone clandestine does any good. No one jurisdiction owns Freemasonry no matter what anyone tells you.

There are literally dozens of rites and rituals. Many of them are still practiced throughout the world. The original speculative rituals are far different than what you would recognize today.
