Various Questions

Mr.Doug!
Is it possible, for example, that if they'll, probably, invite me for the interview in a Lodge,
and ask me the question: "Why you wanna join Masonry?".
May I answer: "I wanna join it -- for the business connections&financial benefits"?
Is this for real or is this guy just playing us? I vote for the latter.

Hi, Mr.Warrior!
But it's true! I'd like to join Freemasonry only for -- "Financial Benefits"!
That's why, I think that -- I'm not suitable for it, now!
And that's why I'm still researching & workin' on myself.

I agree with your conclusion.

Yes, Mr.Bloke!
Like one Russian Freemason said(I liked this phrase): "Freemason is never hurry's up anywhere".
Patience & Labor are the Solution!
No need to hurry!

Because you are obviously phishing for info. There are no financial benefits of joining. If anything there are financial hardships, in that you have to pay dues. The things you say strike me as an anti-mason in disguise

If you want all this "information" you speak of, go to the nearest book store, or Masonic lodge and inquire there. Asking me and my brother masons to go into details about what goes on inside a tyled lodge is against our obligation and it's offensive. Not to mention you have been told multiple times we don't discuss what goes on in our tyled lodge. They have answered every one of your questions to the best of their ability. If that's not enough head to the library of Congress. You almost come off as a guy trying to gain the secrets of Freemasonry without joining freemasonry. And another thing, if you want to join freemasonry for the benefits, your joining the wrong organization. Look into the Rotary Club or possibly the Elks Lodge.

There are things that we say here that tell the brothers what we are talking about. We dont have to go in to specifics cause they know what we are talking about, you being uninitiated dont know and even though youve been told multiple times that we cant tell you, you continue to ask and then you also interject your opinions into our discussions on masonic protocol ect ect

Ressam, there are a large number of Lodges in Istanbul, whence you indicate you are located. Your inquiries would better be directed to them and not us. As repeatedly indicated before, we will not answer your improper and inappropriate questions here. Any further violations will result in your expulsion from this site.

No, this is merely a Masonic forum. There is no one official voice for Masonry. No one man may speak for Masonry, no single lodge or Grand Lodge is the ultimate authority.
Very true, I have only been an MM for 19 months and have heard this many times.
Any further violations will result in your expulsion from this site.
Maybe now he will finally get the point.

If you tell them that is why you are joining you will more than likely be turned away, and rightfully so. That isn't the reason Good Men join Masonry. I suggest you contact the Grand Lodge where you are and ask for more information. They can send you a brochure that can provide you with some history of Masonry (including the history of Masonry in your area), a little about who we are and what we do. Then you can decide if you really are interested.
