Meat Face Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I have been a free mason for 4 years now. Not too many of them around. 1280980[/snapback] serious question. is there a secret handshake, or at least some sort of thing freemasons can subtly doo to recognize other freemasons from around the world?

Czarina Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 They actually advertise for members on the radio now. What kind of crazy world is this that a secret organization recruits on the radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of crazy world is this that a secret organization recruits on the radio? 1281174[/snapback] I was thinking the same thing. You have to stop listening to The Big Show, Czar. It's bad for your mental health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 It's the Big Wee Todd Show, that's for sure. Like listening to a train wreck, I can't change the station. Except when they talk about basketball. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeteebee Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I know very little about them, except they have a kick-ass hospital in Dallas that is treating my youngest son. It is a charity hospital and they don't care if you make $1 or $1 million, it is all for the kids. It is pretty amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Sacrebleu Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I toured the mason's temple in Philadelphia with a group of colleagues. The tour guide kept on regaling us with stories about the fraternity of this big happy family. He's like "This man wanted to take his family to disneyland, and when he got there he found that there were no hotel rooms to be had, he went to hotel after hotel, always to find the same answer: we're booked. Until he gets to one hotel where the desk clerk says were booked, but then they identify each other as masons. And the clerk finds him a room. That's the kind of power of brotherhood" And all I'm thinking is, this guy goes on vacation with his family and doens't think to make hotel reservations over the phone? Furthermore, all I'm now thinking about the Jones family who DID make a resevation for a room at a hotel in Florida, only to find the masonic clerk at the front counter explaining how their reservation has been [airquotes] lost [/airquotes] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I've been thinking about asking to join. Do you enjoy your time with them? 1281018[/snapback] Yes I do enjoy my time with them. We only have 1 meeting a month from August to May. It is all about helping others. I have met many of my friends through my lodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not at liberty to tell you exactly how. There are some things that just cannot be told. My wife gets so frustrated with me when she starts asking questions about what we do and I cannot tell her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Roller Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I've been a Mason since 2002. I'm 51 and I'm one of the YOUNGEST in our area. It appears that the Mason's are a disappearing breed. They do many good works here also. And they were EXTEMELY upset with that National Treasure stuff. Afraid the REAL secrets might become a movie.

skylive5 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I think Sky was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. 1281169[/snapback] Not being a Mason they wouldn't let me sign. They did accept some input though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliaz Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 I've been thinking about asking because, as a lot of you already know, I do a lot of charity work on my own. I know here in Baltimore that the free masons pretty much support the Baltimore Childrens burn center themselves. So it would be nice to belong to a group that does charity work, helps others. No I saw national treasure last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in Dallas is Scottish Rite. I believe both groups are part of the masons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
