Yes, very informative. I have read it through three times myself.I would go one step further and suggest you buy Freemasonry for Dummies.
Brick and mortar book stores or the internet.Where can I buy Freemasonry for Dummies?
We can always chat online, but perhaps find a local lodge and meet them face to face ?Hi Folks
I ordered the book last night. Thanks for the link.
However, I also want to talk to Freemasons face to face to get a feel what it's really like to become a Fremason.
Is this anything that can be done online?
Thanks
Hi Folks
I hope you're all well. I am thinking of becoming a Freemason and was wondering if someone would kindly tell me what things I need to know and consider before joining.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
I would slightly disagree. One may have dogmas. They should generally not be imposed on others.Hello, how are you?. The first thing would be to ask yourself:
- Am I a free man and good manners?.
- Do I believe in a First cause, a Superior principle to all men?. That is, the belief in a Higher Being, whose meaning will be constituted by the Great Architect of the Universe.
- I am a man without dogmas?.
- Do I identify with the development of humanity?
- Do I seek to improve every day and find answers through reason?.
- Is it part of me doing philanthropy?. It is not an obligation to do philanthropy, but each person could do it according to their possibilities.
- Am I a man without vices or ties that prevent my progress and spiritual, personal and social progress?.
These questions can guide you. As for books and readings, there are many, in other forums recommendations are given in this regard.
A great greeting.

Hello, your assessment is valid, perhaps I am missing my sentence with: Do not have dogmas that prevent the development of libertarian and intellectual abilities.
A big hug.

libertarian? Isnt that a political ideology?

Good advice.I would definitely go to your local lodge or lodges to see if it's a good fit or not. They will have you petition and if you meet those requirements you will LIKELY be voted in.
AbsolutelyIf married or in a relationship, kids etc, you may want to weigh in with them to ensure they have your support.
I think that this is the way that it was meant.In a more general philosophical sense it can refer to the US as a "Masonic experiment".
It is so here in Kentucky. I assume from your reply that some U.S. jurisdictions allow political discussions?It's very difficult to walk the line between what is partisan in politics and what is not, which is why some jurisdictions ban political discussion of all type.
No, in that sense no, it was a mistake to write it, my native language is Spanish. I mean to avoid ties that attempt against the development of freedom.
A big greetings.

You must mean “libertino” libertine (n) or
“libertinaje” libertine (adj)
Libertarian, whether political party or philosophy I think would be “libertariano (a)”
I have a minor course of study in Spanish 30 years ago in university but am very out of practice
